Just In Case You Thought You Were Special

I remember when I use to want to be a writer. Dreams of Pulitzer prizes danced in my head.

But then I got older, and I started reading the stuff you write.

So I burned all my notebooks, all my hopes and dreams.

And then I realized you were quoting Flaubert and T.S. Elliot.

That you did not in fact write that yourself.

Damn it.

As someone who's quoted T.S. Eliot and Flaubert on her blog, errrr...

What was the question?

I completely understand. I used to hide my poems in dresser drawers, under clothes so no one would find them.

I've got to admit that 5% of my material is post-recycled material from Run or DMC.

PS - Does this mean my blog is even more lame than I'd previously assessed?

Luckily, I have no idea who "Flaubert" is. Is it the little rat guy from Dilbert?
