i totally resented that girl because she was so ahead of me in life, and i was pissed off that it sounded like she mostly changed the pronouns of her autobiography to make it a novel. that she did that and stole entire paragraphs from sloppy firsts while doing it....take that, bitch.
ok that last part was wrong.

Re: HA
I'm a bad person, too, because everything I heard about this girl prior to her expose just increased my loathing and self-hatred as a writer whose queries sometimes get a response but never an acceptance. I was positive she'd plagiarized and overjoyed when the Harvard Crimson proved me right. I couldn't help thinking that if I had rich parents to "coach" me and help me get an agent, plus was ten years younger, had an Ivy League degree and had an "exotic" ethnic background, I too could get half a million dollars for my pablum. I doubt if she was from Cow Pie Community College and plain old homely Jane Brown, they wouldn't have given her book the time of day.
