I don’t get it. Really. Don’t get it.
The only part of eDrama* that I MAY be able to comprehend is the anonymity of it. Where you can say whatever you want about someone else and they can’t bust your tires. Or they won’t give you an icky look across the grocery aisle. Or they won’t ostracize you at the 3 year old birthday party.
But to accuse another blogger of stealing their “material”?
Ummmm. Exsqueeze me?
Start accusing me, please. I read about 150 differnet blogs a week, and I beg, borrow, and steal from each and every one of them.
When I may refer to myself in the 3rd person, I’m stealing from Bossy.
When I post pictures of my kids, I’m stealing from Sarcastic Mom.
When I Picnik my pictures, I’m stealing from Mental Poo.
When I talk about sex, I’m stealing from XBox4NappyRash.
When I talk about depression, I’m stealing from Bliss in Bloom.
When I talk about the crazies in my family, I’m stealing from Shamelessly Sassy.
When I’m crude, I’m stealing from Avitable.
When I put my face on someone else’s picture, I’m stealing from Fussypants.
When I talk about busting someone’s ass, I’m stealing from Miss Britt and Magnet Bold Too.
When I talk about the craziness of running a household, I’m stealing from Mom2My6Pack.
When I post artistic pictures, I’m stealing from Secret Agent Mama.
When I answer reader questions, I’m stealing from Rosie.
When I close my posts to comments, I’m stealing from Dooce.
When I talk about my husband being an awesome dad, I’m stealing from Busy Dad and my own husband.
When I insert pictures into my posts to reinforce my point, I’m stealing from Derfwad Manor.
When I talk about losing a family member, I’m stealing from Kaiser Alex.
When I’m completely random and talk about my life, I’m stealing from Huckdoll.
When YOU post a LIST, you are STEALING FROM ME. And I’m sure 1000 other bloggers.
So, please, for bloggy’s sake. Keep your drama to your mama, and post for yourself and no one else. Don’t post for other people.
By the way, you may see other’s posting about eDrama tonight and this week. We’re not stealing from each other. We all just happen to be thinking of the same thing on the same day.
If you have some eDrama to bring my way, I welcome it. Maybe I’ll get more readers.
*I stole the term eDrama from Shamelessly Sassy. I better watch my fat ass.
EXACTLY. *exasperated*
Like I said on Queen of Spain’s post… I’m gonna keep stealing from all you awesome bitches, as hard as I can, and there’s nothin’ you can do about it. Hah!
(Know what I’m going right now? I’m breathing… wait, did someone else do that before me? Crap, I better stop….)

Stealing? I did a tribute to George Carlin….how many people am I stealing from? I am forever getting ideas of post from others. I just put my own sin on it. I think it is a compliment that someone would “steal” from you. It means you made them think!

I’m afraid to write anything else, which I may have stolen. I certainly stole the phrase above, but I don’t know who from. Does inadvertent copying constitute flattery or even bigger craptasticity?
Anyway, enough about me. YOU rock. They should make an ABC Afterschool Special about eDrama. Oh, wait, they already did. Only back then, it wasn’t called eDrama. It was called high school…

You know…I hate the idea of “stealing thoughts and ideas.” It’s the dumbest thing ever. Because what makes one person think they are just so frickin awesome that they would be the FIRST to have a certain thought or idea? They may be the first to act on it (at least what they know of), but that doesn’t necessarily make them the first. Or last.
Like, I bet someone else is picking their nose RIGHT NOW. Oh wait. Shit.

Really, you can mimic someone’s mood or voice or look, but you’re not going to keep readers if your “product” isn’t at least as good as what you emulate. Nobody does third person better than Bossy; if you want to write in the third person more power to you, but your writing better be pretty darn good, and fresh, or readers will go right back to Bossy.

In the nutshell. Be yourself. Write what you love without thinking what anyone will think of you. I mean, that’s why we have a blog. It’s a nice place to write about the things you love best.
[Reply to this sucka]
You stole from me? Awesome! Cause some old dude said that imitation is the highest form of flattery… so that must mean you love me and shit.
Yeah, and apparently I am the Aussie Dooce… WTF? As I said to Fussy, I have a uterus and that is where the similarities stop.
Now to start my week of copying everyone else a la MEME week!

I would comment here, but I think someone else may have commented on some other site before me. So I must be stealing from them.
Sorry then, no comment for you. (Hang on, I’ve heard someone say “no comment” before … curses, I’m stealing even when I don’t comment.)

I heard about the drama and had to go searching for what was happening. Looks like a simple case of jealousy from a blogger who wants to be a huge blogger. Besides, anyone who refers to themselves as Gen-X is automatically a tool.

Are you serious? LAME LAME LAME. I for one enjoy your blogs and don’t really care who you get them from. They entertain me and i dont read their blogs. But then again, if you keep getting smack from LOSERS who have nothing better to do with their time than blog stalk you feel free to post lots of pics of my beautiful nieces and videos would be nice too.
Seriously you blog stalking whack jobs who create “edrama” around my sister-in-law. Get a life and BACK OFF. DOn’t make me get scrappy.
