I think you're funny....
I don't know how I came across your blog...but I did...and I read it yesterday, and all day today...it's safe to say I didn't save any lives at work.....
I hope you're not creeped out!
The end!
I don't know why people would think I would be creeped out by them reading my blog. You do realize that my blog is on something called THE INTERNET. And it isn't private. So, I kind of expect people to read it. In fact, I love it when people who I don't know read my blog. It gives me some sort of weird validation. Plus, I'm totally narcissistic, but what about a blog isn't narcissistic? I also like people to tell me I am funny. Apparently, I need all sort of validation in my life.
I was interested in who this nice commenter was, so I linked to her blog to check her out. You know, that is what happens when you post comments on blogs. You can track these people. Thank you Internet. So, there I am reading her blog post from THAT day and I notice something strange. The intro paragraph to her post sounded really familiar. So familiar that I noticed that I WROTE IT. Freaking chick plagiarized me. WHO DOES THAT? Yes friends, I remember what I write. Even if it was 10 months ago. Or 2 years ago. I know my own writing when I see it. I use way to many commas and an English major probably cringes when they read my writing. But I write like I talk. So get over it.

So, I immediately im'd my blogger friends to tell them of the crime. And my lovely friend Miranda didn't skip a beat in calling The Plagiarizer out on her felony. Is plagiarism a felony? It not, it should be.
Miranda's comment on The Plagiarizer's blog:
And just in case The Plagiarizer decided to change her post after reading Miranda's comment, I took a screen shot as evidence:
Now tell me friends, should I link to her blog so you can all leave comments? Or, should the shame of me posting this be enough to make her feel bad?
My message to The Plagiarizer:
Thank you for reading my blog. I sincerely appreciate your nice comment. However, please don't steal my words. You seem like a lovely person and when you blog, make it your own. After all, isn't that what a blog is for anyway?

Yup, I totally deserve that, you could link it to my blog and let all your friends comment on it. It's the least you could do. I actually feel horrible, and rather embarassed.
It was a blogging mistake, and it will never happen again,I guess I have a thing or two to learn about blogging ettiquette.I totally admitted to it on my blog. Tell your friends to feel free to comment there too.
Sorry Girlie...
Lachele,
