I set up this blog as I decided I had the odd insightful thing to say about popular culture and I’d quite like an Internet Following. Three minutes in I have writer’s blog and am a bit intimidated by a potential Internet Following. However, if I want to become the thinking person’s Perez Hilton/the male Carrie Bradshaw/that woman who they’ve just made a movie out of starring Meryl Streep (not sure of how I will market myself just yet) and then be approached by my Literary Agent flatmate (the real aim of this blog), I must get to it.
Rather than make a decision, I have decided to use this first post as an unnecessary Contents Page for future blog posts to come. Maybe I will even let the first few members of my potential Internet Following (i.e. my flatmates) vote and decide my first proper topic – ensuring I am giving the masses what they really want. Here we go:
Potential Topics:
- An expert justification of why 1997 was the best ever year for pop music
- Posts on little known, underrated gems that others should love (but don’t). I.e. the overlooked TV show “Beautiful People”; Siobhan Donaghy’s album “Ghosts”, etc
- My thoughts on reality TV phenomena, including topics such as “Why a favourite will always get booted out in week 4″
- The best conversation snippets I’ve overheard and plan to incorporate into a novel one day (my own version of “Overheard, Underground” if you like)
- Why I hate Yoghurt Adverts
- John Barrowman
- Why my housewarming party will always turn into a competitive challenge
- Illnesses that worry me
- In “Shag, Marry or Kill”, what does marry really mean?
- Why Asda might have chosen Who Are You Kidding Mr Hitler as the music for their new TV advert (helpfully suggested by my boyfriend)
OK, Internet Following, get voting.

John Barrowman should definately be your first topic. I'm intrigued to know your opinions, particularly on his music career.

I'd want to know what you have against licking the lid of life… and if you had to shag, marry or kill either a Muller Delight, a Ski and an Onken product, which would it be?
Society NEED the answers to these questions!

i'd like to add another suggestion, hoppers: Important Pieces of Art. I really think you'd have something insightful to say on this matter.

What about covering Natalie Imbruglia's up and coming comeback? (Ensuring you cover why she's more than just a one hit wonder!)
Oh and good luck with the blog ;0)

Am reeling with shock at Bullet Point No. 5. Some Yoghurt adverts are miniature works of art, with particularly fine male voiceovers.

I'm intrigued to know who this expert is that's going to enlighten us about the musical wonder that was 1997……

Will you be covering gout in the 'illnesses that worry me' section?

Can I just say that 1. it's fantastic you have started a blog, you seem to have many thoughts 2. just one week ago I asked Ruth why the hell Asda were using 'who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler?' as their theme tune and 3. I hope you will cover wisdom teeth in your 'illnesses that worry me' section.

I am proud to be the ninth person to comment, even if it may be my last due to lack of Internet access. My input as one of your Internet Following is that you need to actually start writing about these topics.
