Have you ever had a great original idea, and then come to find out that someone else has already put it to use?
I had an idea for a band called 'monkey vs. robot' in high school, but that ended up being taken.
I designed a way to mass-produce semiconductor chips using laser-splitters in middle school, but I think that was around then too.
Today I had an idea for a website, http://www.sploogle.com , but if you go there you'll see that they already did exactly what I was going to do with it.
Original ideas aren't so original anymore.

as per finding out everyone's already stolen all your good ideas... yeah... that happens all the time. one of the reasons I'm not entirely motivated to post stories or artwork. I fear they will point and say "you stole that off of so-and-so" when it isn't that, just ya know, I guess great minds think alike. ;)
An old girlfriend that was a flight attendant used to get all of her friends to take the shower caps from all the hotels they stayed in and she would use them to cover her food in the fridge. She had been doping it for years and look what happened.....The Glad Bag people came up with the same idea and someone else got rich....
Anyway, nice to see another LJ person in Galveston.
