I assure you it is very much plagiarism, even if you completely reword the quote; it's the 'idea' that you are plagiarizing. If you ever get caught doing that with schoolwork at the university level, you better put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.

Yea I know...you get in serious trouble no matter what grade...my bro was caught plagiarizing in the 6th grade...he got in a bunch of trouble. But when I write the stuff I don't realize that its so similar to older stuff its just ingrained in my subconscious mind that I don't really realize it...you probably don't get what I'm saying...nvm
