“The Upper East Side was like something from Fitzgerald or Thackeray. Teenagers acting like adults. Adults acting like teenagers, guarding secrets, writing gossip all with the trappings of truly opulent wealth. And membership in this community was so elite, you couldn’t even buy your way in. It was a birth right. A birth right I didn’t have, and my greatest achievements would never earn me.
All I had to compare to this world was what I read in books, but that gave me the idea. I wasn’t born into this world – maybe I could write myself into it. I overheard enough conversations to be able to mimic the language of the Constance girls, but every writer needs his muse and it wasn’t until that photo of Serena in that white dress that I knew I had something strong enough to actually create a legend and launch a website.
Within weeks, I was getting dozens of emails with stories about Upper East Siders, so I posted them anonymously, and then I got more. Before long, it was a monster– everyone was sending tips. And when Serena came back from boarding school, I wrote my first post about me: Lonely Boy, the outsider, the underdog. I might have been a joke, but at least people were talking about me.”
Did you ever expect Dan to be Gossip Girl? Tell us about it in a comment below!
I never expected that ! I thought it was Dorota for a while !! I’m in shock !!
why dan for god’s sake? I mean gossip girl even posted against Dan humphrey! *Lonely Boy*! totally in shock!
Ouch !!!, totally not expected for me, I thought it was chuck.
I was clueless! I had no idea it was him!
i thought it was quinn…. wow but that cant be right.. in the second season D hooked up with ms. Carr and B sent it to GG… it cant be him!! does anyone else agree?!?!
I’d never thought it could be Dan!!!I still can’t believe it!!!Dan is gossip girl????!!!he always humiliate himself,he called himself lonely boy just because someone talk about him??!!!I’d never expected that!!
I thought GG is Dan!!cuz GG’s article was too skillfully for another roll of casts. and second,at the end roll,”Blake Lively,Leighton Meester” and then “Penn Badgley”.I think Chuck or Nate can be more important casts if Dan was not GG!!
anyone agree with me????
