good times, good times

I've just been reading over my Canada blog (because who needs to go to lectures when you can waste time and money doing random stuff on the net?), and in particular the comments, which are far more interesting than my constant wailing about not updating the blog regularly enough.

Anyway, my favourite comments have to be these:

Great Gatsby Fan @ 3:08AM | June 20th 2003
Yes that's right Maddy it's me, the mysterious phantom Gatsby fan. I was hugely disappointed to discover that you hate TGG. Not to worry though, I think with a bit of time you'll come around, sunburn and all. How did the exam go? I hope you beat that girl...and I also hope it wasnt too hard! Did you end up revising much? I still havent done that essay, or the 30 paragraph questions...There's actually 'WANTED' posters with my face on it appearing around the school now, its only a matter of time before they get me. I really ought to get some work done...

And then:

Dad @ 4:54AM | June 20th 2003
OK, reveal thyself you TGG fan you!
We'll have none of this incognito business on this blog!
Good Heavens, even her father has the guts and determination to add his "name" to his comments.
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED YOUNG MAN/WOMAN!

And then the all-time classic:

Episode 1: The Gatsby Menace @ 6:12AM | June 20th 2003
My name is Darth Gatsby. Soon you will all tremble with fear, as from the swirling folds of my cape I draw a hard back edition of The Great Gatsby signed by my master, F.Scott Fitzgerald. Mwahaha...

For weeks afterwards my dad was demanding to know the identity of Darth Gatsby. Ah, good times, good times...

Well, I should probably go have a shower, seeing as it's 10.36am and I've done absolutely nothing today except have breakfast and skip a lecture. Ah, the life of a uni student...
