Is it plagiarism if you didn't see the other person's first?

I'm fretting, again. I was doing yoga this morning and thought; I want to write. I don't care if anyone reads it, really. It's good for the mind, it's probably good for the soul, and I have a title - The Human Project. It's going to be my ramblings about everything and anything having to do with the human habit. I thought I came up with it on my own. So there I was, tapping out my first rambling. Posted it. Edited it. Yes, I realize that's not the order of this process, but it's the order my brain works.
Okay get to the point already, fast forward to late afternoon; I go to look at my first precious jewel - HAH. I go to Google blogsearch, type in The Human Project, and there she is. Whoops, that's not my project. Who is this? Well clearly she did not just write her 537 blog pieces in the last 6 hours (I didn't really count how many blog things she had). Do I have to change the name of my blog? Can there be more than one 'Human project'? Should I contact her? Of course I should, I already did. I sent her a FaceBook friend invite. I don't know if this is the Human Project or the futuristic project. What place have I landed in?
