Thanks to the sluething of UK Matty and a Spriteboy, it seems a theif is among us. Not even so much a theif, but a supreme poser, who's taken direct text and images from spriteboy's blog, and my own. Superduper plagerism is afoot.

I like how (with the exception of the last one) she even kept the entry titles the same.

Her tackiest moment, however, is when she wrote about a friend's Grandmother passing away, which was actually written by Chris. She even had the balls to post photos he took from the funeral.

I think everyone should go to her blog and praise her for the amazing life she's leading, and let her girlfriend know too, since she's apparently enamoured with "her" prose.

Yeah, this happens more, I guess, than a lot of people realize. My friend Danny O had his entire blog plagiarized by somebody, who promptly took it down once the cat was out of the bag.

It's pretty sad that people can't come up with their own thoughts and feelings and have to hijack those of other people in order to feel some sort of catharsis or connection with others.

Newsweek does a small column about what's new with blogs. I think they should be alerted of this situation....they could write an article about blog plagiarism, and pair it with an article about psychopaths.

Ohmigod, Kyle is a lesbian! I think that is how rumors get started. By the way, I got the lovely painting and have it hanging next to my computer, thanks again.
