    Hey, I finally get to grouse about submitting a story, having it rejected, and five hours later having the exact same story show up under an editor's name. Yay, I'm part of the repressed! I feel like I've really made it.



    Anyway, my story was cooler because it included the great closing line from the article,


    "Will I use it in the wrong way?" he said. "No."
    Then he paused. "But then again, what is to stop the next guy?"


    Aahh, what do I care? I made it into the Washington Post today! :)
