I mentioned, on his blog, how I was similarly violated this past week, but not via email. No. There is a pig on the planet who actually TOOK one of my posts, changed her name from CP to (get this) GT (duh!) and the protagonist of my story from Tony to Vinny. Vinny, Tony. They all drip olive oil, right? Badabing. Any italian name will do, eh blogthief whore? Guess so. For my regular readers, you know that this person stole a post that was very painful for me to write. If she had stolen the post about my nearly being arrested at JFK airport, fine! I can live with that. Hell, even the post about the waitress with the dirty toe picking habit who was about to serve me some dinner, Great! Have at it! All I ask is for a little note of "Hey, This Post Was Written By Certifiable Princess" at the bottom. Put it in a font size of "one" if you want people to overlook it and think that YOU wrote it. Swell.
But, to steal the most painful moment of a persons life and embrace it as your own?
I felt like I got plowed by a strap on, up my ass, sans lube. I literally started to shake. I nearly cried. Why that post of all posts?
Why? CAUSE IT WAS A FUCKING EXCELLENT POST, THAT'S WHY!!!
So, on that level, I can't really blame the blogthief whore for stealing it. The interesting thing was that I wasn't alerted of the theft. Rather, I was doing some research on victims/survivors of domestic violence a couple of days ago and stumbled onto this blog. I started to read. I'm thinking...wow, this girl is great. Whoa. This girl has a lot to say! Holy shit! That happened to me too! MOtHEr FuCKEr it IS ME!!! To add insult to injury, were the commenters. People telling her how bad they felt for her. Bad? That wasn't a post to elicit sympathy. Anyone who knows me, knows that. That is what makes it more hard to fathom...the fact that this sort of violence took place in MY life. This girls blog was nothing but a pity party from start to finish. My writing looked so out of context, so out of focus there. Kind of like Ron Jeremy standing in a room full of eunuchs.
Sidenote: Did you know Ron Jeremy was actually able to roll himself into a ball and suck his own dick, ergo dubbing him with the nickname of "Hedgehog"? Did you know his penis was 9.75 inches long? Did you know we were born in the same town in Queens, New York? Did you know he is Jewish pornstar? Aren't you glad I told you this? I am nothing, if not informative.
Anyway, back to the blogthief whorebag. I left a comment on her page after I saw someone else write this one:
"I don't believe you. I believe this happened to someone. Just not you. You never written anything this good before."
After that, she was met with a slew of "u r full of shit" and "u r a liar" kind of comments. I thought it was a good time to post my blog address, to show everyone that they were right on target with their comments (however lacking they were grammatically) and that I had written this post a mere TWO WEEKS earlier! Then, I suggested that everyone hit the "FLAG THIS BLOG" button on the top of her browser. I even wrote the little whorebag an email which bounced right back, adding to my frustrations. I wrote the people at "Blogger" and they said they would address my concern. Um, yeah. Thanks.
A few days later, BlogThief Whorebag was gone from the face of the Blogger universe.
What lesson have I learned from this experience? None. I am going to continue dishing up my life the way I always have. Face it. I am an interesting person. I get into a lot of trouble all the time. It FINDS me. I swear! But, it makes me realize how vulnerable all our words really are when we post them on our blogs. Someone a million miles away may be pretending to be you, or you...or even YOU.
Just be ready to deal with it when it happens. Be calm. Be rational. Be cool. And, if all else fails, track the fucker down and rip her lung out through her asshole. If Ron Jeremy can suck his own wang, surely you can do a little rearranging on someone elses organs, right?
Just sayin'.

I wondered about that bingo thing....mostly cuz Mr. Fab is too busy campaiging to play f'in BINGO!!!
Thanks for the heads up!
As for that FUCKING BITCH stealing your post.....WTF!!!!! How DARE she?!?!?
Glad you ripped her a new one!
Some people......
Oh my Gawd, what a "C" word that C is! I'm glad that you bitch-slapped her of the blog-planet. Nasty-ass wench, she is. Freak-bag from whoredom too! I think I need a Valium now.
Ugh. I'm in a very 'people are fucked' kind of mood today, and this just topped it off.
i'm crying again... you are brilliant... a friend of mine was telling me a story once, and i was like, bitch, i told you that story... poor thing, he's dead now................... sorry , i was just looking over my shoulder... dbv
Yeah....I don't think Mr. Fab does bingo...at least fully dressed.
and
What a shame that some needy bitch would steal that post(s)....that was such a moving one CP. I still think of that one often.
Laurie has something on her site that alerts her to people copying things off her website. I once "cut and paste" one of her funny random thoughts to my best friend and emailed it to her, she put it in a bulletin board signature on a forum she frequents and Laurie knew about it the same day. My friend received a friendly email asking her to credit the author - Laurie, which she did immediately. Maybe you should get something like that? There is only ONE CP! ;)
you know
i never, ever, thought someone would steal a post in that manner
i never actually thought of someone stealing any post...
that is completely mind-blowing
i'm dumbfounded
hey give us the name of her blog so we can carry torches over to her place and burn it down. or track her down somehow even if her blog is gone.
"believe me dude, there are ways, you don't want to know about them but there are ways." - Walter in the Big Lebowski.
WOW. That's all I can say WOW. I am wowing about the Jewish porn star and also wowing that somebody had the balls to steal your post about Tony. that was some damn good writing, but geez, that's LOW to steal somebody's post. Goodness. Let's send her/him a virsus!!!
On my blog "Athena" uses a lot of quotes. Majority of quotes are "hers", some are paraphrased from quotes I've heard somewhere before but can't remembered where I've heard it and I'm too lazy to look it up. Kind of like "The Early Bird Gets the Worm". Who the hell quoted that? I'm too lazy to look it up, but everybody knows it and uses it. But if I know who quoted it, I will give credit where credit is due.
But a quote is a whole lot different than a blog entry. A blog entry is someone's personal experiences that can't be duplicated or "quoted". Especially someone like you CP!
I'm glad people were sharp enough to be on to her little game and dimed her out. I guess she just wanted to be "like the cool kids" and have cool things to say. And that is truly a sad existance.

It's amazing how some people will totally hack in to your crap and steal your addresses or your posts. I once had someone steal my address book and let me tell you there's nothing more interesting when someone you haven't talked to in like a month contacts you and says...ummm..so..when did you get in to porn? SAY WHAT?! I was hella mad at first, but given time to think on it, it was actually kinda hilarious...who the hell is gonna believe them?
But as for the wench who stole your post? I'm totally glad you called her out. Greedy attention seekers need to be wiped out.
ah... it's nice to be plagerized huh? on my sidebar you can see the aftermath of such things. a chick took almost half if not more from me and acted like they were hers. i was able to destroy her in less than 8 hours. both of her fake blogs (not blogger) were gone by the end of the day. *buffs fingernails on front of shirt* yea... i got me a badass posse. you want to join?
Wow that's unbelievable. What the name of the blog? Can you give us the URL? I want to see this for myself so I can make a few comments!
Sorry she stole your work. Just keep bloggin' on girl!
Strange that you should be discussing this today... a very dear friend of mine from home forwarded an email to me.
I opened it to find none other than your "glue" story. You are rockin the net, baby!
Pissy - I didn't really rip her a new one. I think she just realized she was a bit busted and deleted her own blog. I don't know if blogger pulled it, because there was no "objectionable content" on it...just stolen shit.
deb - Yeah. The wicked witch is dead. I sort of wish it was still there, actually. I should have fed her to the sharks (you guys! *L*)
j.- Didn't mean to make a bad time worse hon! Sorry! :-(
Mrs.M. - You know, I have to chat with Laurie about that. I guess I never really thought that this would become an issue. I mean, I have been online for years. I have found my poetry stolen before, but there was usually credit for the work. But this was someone portraying themself as ME. That hurt me pretty bad.
CP.
Cad - You really have to watch it. I'm realizing that, moreso now, despite being online for over 10 years!
dbv - Now THAT is funny shit. I've had that happen before with my husband. "Hey, did you hear about blah blah blah". Yes my beloved dumbass, I am the one who told YOU about it. *snicker*
Mike - it was only the one post, the first one. But, I am certain she would have stolen the others. You would be amazed what turns up in a blogspot search. whew.
ale8one - I believe the page was dayofme.blogspot.com I was so relieved to see it gone. I will double check my history to make sure. IS there a way to track her down through my stat thingie? Hm...I wonder.
Jodi - I don't blame you for wowing. If I was able to hedgehog myself to get to my own shit...I'd be divorced and never leave the house...*LOL*
CP.
I had someone steal my web design a few months ago. Took the all-mighty force to get her to take it back down. I can't believe someone would take your post and make it hers ... boo.
And I did not know that about Ron Jeremy. I don't know where to applaud or barf?
I threw up a little in my mouth reading about Ron Jeremy sucking his own wang.
Then, I thought about it a little and it occurred to me - he COULDN'T have that talent, because I've seen him in public! (He lives here in St. Louis now, you know)
Remind me someday to tell my Ron-Jeremy-at-the-airport story.
My point about seeing him in public was (I felt I should clarify) that if he COULD service himself, he'd never leave the house.
I don't get it, I can see why someone would want to rip off your brilliant posts, but why THAT one? Why would anyone want to even pretend that such a thing happened to them??
Hmm, I wonder if I need to start Googling my posts and see if someone's trying to impersonate me... ... HA! As if I'm all that interesting.
What a loser! They have no life of their own so they have to go steal other's? That is so lame.
Glad they're gone! So sorry they took that post....I can understand how painful that must've been. It took you so much courage to share your story.
Holy shit, CP! I've heard of this kind of thing happening, and I've actually SEEN a blog once where they stole ALL of the posts and put a bogus name up there. I can't imagine someone being so SAD that they have to take the time and energy to steal another person's life! I'm glad you didn't have ALL of your posts stolen, and this piece of crap person is gone for now. There is ONLY ONE CP! xo
I'm speechless. First time. Whoa. What a hooker! Cheap-ass, cheatin' hooker!
I may have to go track her down and cut off her coochi lips with a finger nail clipper.
Can you say OUCH??
HOLY CRAP I got that bingo email...wonder what I did about it...hopefully I deleted it but I think I might have given out a an email address or something...damn
I better make some changes.
OK, I'm up for some naked twister, but we gotta have a ground rule: you don't yank mine and I won't yank yours...
That fucken pisses me off!
Two things struck me as iteresting about this situation:
1. Your writing is so awesome that someone tried to steal it and pass it off as their own!
2. You are so widely read, that people recognized your writing from this scumbag plagiarizer's blog.
I got my pitchfork and torch, lets go get her ass!!
FOR SHAAAAAME... PPL OUGHTA BE ORIGINAL :s
I can't believe that someone would steal your post - and change the names to make it her own...that's worng on so many levels - it makes you wonder what the hell is wrong with them that they would even pretend that was them.
YAY!
I finally got in CP's Box!
Been here 5 times and blogger wouldn't let me comment...
I've heard of this happening to other people too... blogthieves... scum of the earth! Lucky for me... my writing sucks and NO ONE in their right mind would try to pawn it off. HA!
Now.. since I haven't been here in a bit... busy busy beaver I am... a belated congrats on your 100th! I'll be sure to tell you if I fart during the reading of your posts.
Also... we just got ourselves a brand spankin new SUPER WAL MART... when will you be making your appearance? Shall I sew you a cape? Red? To match your thigh high boots?
Be my Wonder Woman CP!
be careful CP, lot of home computers don't have safisticated fire walls like businesses....you can buy a "spy software" e-mail program very easily....some people out there are evil.....be careful....don't know the address don't answer it...just delete it!
now about that pizza issue!
naked twister huh? I'm in!
anyway, the ho bag at least had the forethought to steal some good shit. you see so many half assed criminals these days stealing shit that ain't worth shit, this is actually sort of refreshing.
I'm so gonna copy this post and use it for my own - HOLY SHIT DID I JUST TYPE THAT OUT LOUD?
Pud - I just can't fathom, why THAT particular post. I mean, why would anyone want to claim that life as their own? Hell, she can HAVE it. She sounds like she might actually DESERVE it. No, I take that back. No one deserves that.
limpy - you are such a stinkin' goofball. Need some help unrolling? *L*
wildblue - I can totally see where that would be embarassing. I've only had posts highjacked, not my addys, fortunately enough.
wendykat - I am so there. Count me in. I'll watch your blog if you watch mine! (Adds you to the daily reads) *L* We gotta watch out for our fellow bloggers!
Deb - Didn't I give the url already? I thought I had. Hm. Maybe not. I am pretty certain it was http://dayofme.blogspot.com, but happily, it is no longer there! yeah!
CP
anna - Oooh, that makes me feel really good! See, THOSE are the stories I WANT to see swirling around the net. The funny ones. I'd love to see the email!
hdw - I heard about the theft of your site design, before I started reading you. I think Laurie told me about it. That's such shit. We pay so much money to have these custom templates to have some scumbag heist them? Oh no no. I don't THINK so.
Dave - Admit it, dollbaby. If you could, you would. *L* Ronny baby probably can't do it anymore, as he has developed a big tummy over the years. Even nearly 10 inches can't stretch over that bad boy!
GDG - Don't google your name! You'll find the shrine I erected in your honor!!! *blush* *L*
Writewing - You're a writer, doll. You know what it is like to have your words miscontrued or even plagerized, I'm certain. To me, it is like a rape (and I am not making light of that, as I was a victim of that from my ex as well) but my words...they're MINE, you know? That's your heart. That's your head. I don't know. To me, it's so much more...damaging. I may be off the mark here, just my personal feelings.
CP.
LG - I have always envied the fact that you show no fear putting your music up online. I couldnt fathom my songs, my poetry being stolen from me. I've had that happen once before, but it was a small scale chatsite and I was able to put an end to that pretty fast. Gotta admit, the people at Blogger were pretty good about responding.
Ms.M - Okay, coochie lips and nail clippers should NEVER be in the same sentence together...EVER!!! *wince*
Jerry - Yeah, get a new account or something. Better safe than sorry later on. Yeesh.
Mr. Fab - If there is no yanking, I am NOT playing. That takes all the fun out of it, dammit!
Jams - No, the writing WASNT recognized as mine. This person just knew that it wasn't the writing of this particular person. I stumbled onto her blog doing some domestic violence research for my book. I was FURIOUS, but glad that at least one person was astute enough to realize that for 5 months prior, this person wrote like crap. All of a sudden she's eloquent and grammatically correct, etc. That doesn't happen overnight. Grrrr.
CP
Some people are beyond pathetic. Meh. Glad she was busted and gone. I'm new but will be catching up on your posts today :)
That BlogThiefWhorebag. Great word for it. What a whore.
That's been happening a lot in the ole 'sphere lately. Damn. I'm sorry it happened to you, CP. That sucks!
But I am glad to see that you... handled the situation. (slow nod, wink)
Hmm...she just wrote 'one post' and then canceled the blog? That's really odd! Hmm.... Do you know who the person was? Or did you happen to just stumble onto the blog?
CP just wanted to thank you for your comments on my blog. I've been lurking on yours for awhile and appreciated your input.
Thanks!
Speaking from personal experience, it's an awful feeling when someone steals your writing. And the writing she stole from you was SO personal!
And hey, thanks for sharing that wonderful image of Ron Jeremy.
It really speaks of an intense lack of creativity as well as their IMMATURITY level for folks to plagiarize other people's BLOGS.
Not sure what's worse...
Folks who plagiarize other folks' blogs,
OR
Folks who have a good following/readership, fostering a sense of friendship and familiarity, only to reveal later that every word they blogged was a lie or was exaggerated to the point of being false.
PS: Ron Jeremy should consider himself lucky folks dubbed him the hedgehog, rather than "potato bug," as they are another creature that can roll itself up into a ball as well.
madelene rose! I know you! Seen you at Deb's place! Welcome, hon!
Fantasta - Can you say "desperate for attention"? She seemed like a teenager, so I can almost understand the immaturity of it.
Lily - You know all you have to do is shine that Wonder Woman signal into the sky, and I will be in my invisible plane with the lasso of truth and my gold bullet deflecting bracelets in a heartbeat, on my way to you! *L*
normiekins - You are ABSOLUTELY right. That's why I signed up with a fake name and fake email address. Whew. Just in case it was a bullshit thing, which it was!
CP.
Billy - Lawd, two comments in the course of 24 hours? You must be bored man...Bored, or stoned. *L*
nihilistic - *spanks you*
patti - Nice to meet you! I was over at your site yesterday. Enjoy yourself, look around, but whatever you do, don't go near the third door on the left. That's my skeleton closet! Moo haahaaa!
Hey Therese! Nice to finally get you over here. Now stay put, dammit! yeah, I handled it...but next time I need to round up the garbage bags and lime to bury a body, I'll head up to your neck of the woods! Heh.
Debdoll - Sent you an email with situation in full. Easier that way! *L*
fyrchk - Nice to see you here too! What is today? National come out of the woodwork day? *L* Is there a delurking party that someone forgot to invite me to? Hm, it's probably cause I don't lurk. Im too much of a bigmouth. I have something to say about everything! *L*
Annie - I thought of YOU immediately, since I know it just happened to you too! Thank goodness YOU had a reader who was really familiar with your work stumble onto that! I found this one on my own! Yeesh. It does make me sick, but hey, that's the chance we take on the internet, right?
Maven - Oooh, glad you sent me that email! Will have to go over and check that one out! *wiggles brows* I think of the two things, the second one is worse. Thieves suck, but liars? Worse. I agree.
CP.
I just found your blog today and read the most recent posts, laughed and enjoyed the quality of your writing. Then I read this post, which led me to the five part posts about Tony...I read them at work, tried very hard not to cry because it's frowned on at work...but it was impossible. Then I re-read this post and got so angry...stealing someone else's writing is bad enough. But stealing something as deeply painful and personal as those posts...that's criminal.
You are an amazing writer and an amazing person.
