Oh God, my early twenties just flashed before my eyes.
The shame.
Heheheheh. Megan, you make me so happy.
We used to go to nightclubs, and inevitably some very clean-cut guy in a white shirt with blue stripes would try to pick me up. He'd turn out to have gone to Christ's and have a nice white-collar job and be a total and utter unbearably smug goit.
Moving here from elsewhere, it really struck me how it seemed to matter what school you went to and what suburb you lived in.
I might just be bitter because my ancestors arrived on the 5th ship.

She is from Timaru, you know.
I am not from fscking Timaru! I'm from Taihape!
Wait, that doesn't work at all. As you were.

I was actually wondering the entire post was something Bob's dad might have written? (thats a compliment, by the way).
Thanks, Fletcher. And yeah, that's me, the first ever David Haywood tribute band. Bob's father was good enough to vet this for me, give me permission to use it, and tell me what the right word for playing a banjo was.
I'm going to have to wait for the Cliff Notes to come out on this one.
I reckon I could get another dozen or so in-jokes into the Cliff Notes.

Our secret socialist agenda: filling the streets with wet Italians.
By golly, Russell was right: you are a tremendous prose writer.
And in fewer than 140 characters, too. I really must start selling you guys stuff...

Hey, it wasn't a criticism. If a tory told me it was raining, I'd leave the umbrella at home.

I'm sorry, but I need you to keep on Keeping Christchurch Weird.
Boy do I have the column for you...
Ahem... the date may be a giveaway but I do like this from the Guardian:

Actually, while we're dumping really offensive moralism, try the story of Jessie Logan. This isn't child pornography: she was 18 when she sexted nude photos of herself to her boyfriend. After they broke up, he sent the photos to other girls at her school. As a result, she was bullied so badly she killed herself.
Here are some headlines in reaction to that:
"Sexting Leads to Teen Suicide"
"Teenager Commits Suicide After Sexting..."
"Friends Hope Teen's Death Warns Others Against Sexting"
Get it? It wasn't the bullying or the slut-shaming that drove her to kill herself, it was the action of sexting. It was her own fault.

Because your Welly twitter friends are so cool?
But of course, love.
Though to be fair my Welly non-Twitter friends are also so cool.
Also since I made those comments about the hunky wood-man I'm now being followed by an Angelean porn star. How cool is that?

I'm a stage five, I guess. I use Twitter for conversations, and I love the odd discipline of writing to the message length. The only problem I have with it is that it makes me wish I lived in Wellington even more than usual.
