Afterwards, he asked me what I thought about it,so I told him in some detail. When I read the review in the paper later in the week, it was verbatim what I'd said about the movie (which I enjoyed).

There are writing students stealing shit from bloggers daily and then turning in our stuff for grades and accolades (or not.) Imagine if someone stole one of my essays or poems then turned it in and got a C from a prof? (I go no lower than a C, seriously, even for one of my shitty first drafts.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, my friend Chelsea was ripped off by other bloggers a few times. Jesus. <BR/><BR/>T.S. Elliot once said good writers borrow, great writers steal, but I'm not sure this sort of disrespect for one another's artistic integrity, not to mention, effort, is what he meant. <BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>AAlana Noel Vothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678764751722565458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-30881345104557736892009-01-21T15:17:00.000-05:002009-01-21T15:17:00.000-05:00I don't know exactly what happened because I'm a l...I don't know exactly what happened because I'm a latecomer to this, but I clicked the Exhibit B link and according to Blogger, that <BR/>$h!t has been ripped down.<BR/>So hooray for you and boo to the asshat who tried to steal your work! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-90910893737944594302009-01-21T15:16:00.000-05:002009-01-21T15:16:00.000-05:00Wow.
