    200th Entry

    By a goose,

    This is an honour, it really is. I would like to thank... um... no-one, actually. I don't really want to thank anyone. For instance, I'm not going to thank Impulse (or whatever he's called now) for introducing me to blogs. I'm not going to thank B6 and Dimensioneer for helping me out with the problems I've had with my premier membership, because without them I wouldn't have this blog. I'm not going to thank each and every one of the people who has commented in this blog, because that is a heck of a lot of people.
    Which, unsurprisingly, leaves me with no-one to thank. So I'm just going to go celebrate this achievement in front of a mirror and try to ignore the sticky note on my back that reads 'kick this egotistical moron'.

    But I miss being around people who hate me.
    It's all wrong. It's like there's a certain balance I have to maintain. Too many people like me right now. I need a little hatred. It doesn't feel right otherwise.
    You probably think there's something really wrong with me, but this is just how my mind works.

    By a goose,

    I am now in what one might call a 'long-distance relationship'. The only time I'll definitely see my girlfriend again is next year. HOPEFULLY we'll be able to meet up before then and still manage to hide from our parents that we're going out (her mum despises me. Any time I'm standing with her and I look over at her mother she's giving me a look that says "If you lay one finger on my daughter, I will kill you.").
    So, no more relationship entries for a while. Also, expect me to be self-pitying, irritable, and generally depressed for them next while.

    So, I've been offline a lot recently, and I think it's time to explain:
     
    I am in at a course which lasts a week. Ten hours a day. You're probably thinking, "Vorex, how could you survive like that?"
    Well, I'll tell you: a girl. Yes, you read right. On Saturday I was locked out of BZP, so I decided to try my hand at being normal.
    So, there was this girl at the course who I had a crush on, so I decided to try and talk to her. Of course, it didn't go quite to plan, and I ended up talking to her friend instead. And I kept talking afterwards. I barely ever stopped.
    Because her friend is brilliant. I have a considerable amount in common with her, so we're able to talk a lot, and according to her friends she likes me. I wasn't sure about asking her out, though, so her friends (and everyone else) started getting a little irritated.
    After trying absolutely everything else to set us up, her friends ganged up on me as soon as I was alone, and tried to force me to ask her out. I agreed, because those girls were really scary when they surrounded me an started talking to me in the same tone one might use to make a death-threat.
    Then, tonight, I regained access to BZP.
     
    And that's pretty much everything that's happened to me so far.

    It has come to my attention that someone claiming to be me has plagiarised my epic (Shadows) and posted it on another website, claiming to be me, and even going so far as to copy my name.
    This brings me to the main point of this blog post:
    People, what is the point in plagiarism? How can you live taking credit for work that is not your own? How can you stand knowing that, any time you receive praise you are not truly being praised? Why plagiarise in the first place?
    Why not stand back, and admire the other person's work from a distance? Why not work on your own writing? And, if you can't write, why not find some other talent?
    But don't steal others' work and claim it as your own. It is stupid, it is immature, it is downright disgusting. I think I speak for all writers that have been plagiarised when I say DON'T DO IT.
