Minor minor minor celebrity...

Here's a teeny tiny post while I get around to writing Chapter 25.


Writing this blog has been a LOT of fun. I do bitch, moan and complain, but it's great to know that people are reading and enjoying my silly thoughts. If you've spent even a minute reading my blog, I really do appreciate it!

If you could find it in your heart to send a quick Tweet about the blog, or link to it in your Facebook status, I will be truly grateful!

There have been a few other sites and blogs who have helped me to promote my witterings, so I just wanted to to say a big thank-you and also direct you to their sites, some of which have extra content from me if you struggle to lead a normal life between blog posts and want to read more of my thoughts.


So...please check out the following sites if you haven't already:

In other news, I got my first EVER bit of (minor) abuse on Twitter the other day. I love that someone has felt so strongly about the blog that they have felt the need to bash out a short message (of no more than 140 characters) showing their disapproval. For those of you who are interested, here's how shit went down...


It all started when I sent a Tweet to the fantastic @FiftyShadesFilm replying to one of  their 'Topic of the Day' questions. I then got a reply about my Tweet:

Lady: what? No tampon jokes? 

Me: Haha...not this time. Decided against it for once! 

Lady: Thank God! I pity ur GF. She must not hear the end of it while having her period. Sure she prefers cramps than 2 listen 2 you 

Me: Yes. You are right. In my personal life I talk about periods ALL of the time. How did you know? 

Lady: Your reaction here? 

Me: My reaction?? You honestly want a reaction to your incorrect (and borderline idiotic) statement? Really?

And that was it...no sooner had it started, it was all over.


It's weird, I get the feeling that the lady who sent the Tweets thinks that in my everyday life, I go around talking about periods ALL THE TIME! She's clearly not able to understand that I say things online that I don't say while I'm at work or spending time with my parents. I think that when she sent those Tweets, she was clearly having a MASSIVE period.


It does make me a little worried for her, as is she's not able to differentiate between fantasy and reality. I wonder if she watched Dark Knight Rises this summer, thinking it was a terrific documentary. I've also heard that she thinks there are tiny people living in her radio who start talking and playing music as soon as she turns it on. I might be wrong...but that's what I heard...


Anyway, I think that having a Twitter spat is a good sign. That lady might not enjoy what I have to say, but at least it's provoked a reaction. I feel like Lindsay Lohan now that I've had a bit of abuse on Twitter. That's a good thing right??

I'll probably get Chapter 25 up in a few weeks...but I'll post regular update on my Twitter feed. Come join me (or abuse me) here - www.twitter.com/50ShadesDave

  3. Dave you never fail to satisfy with your blogs, whether it's a blog about a random nutter tweeting shite or a nutter called Christian Grey. I'm dreading you finishing the book and might have to beg you to continue!

Join me on Twitter! - www.twitter.com/50ShadesDave So before I start pulling Chapter 4 apart, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has read and shared this blog so far. It's great to know that people are reading and enjoying what I'm writing. People I've never met have been in touch, telling me that they're liking the blog and people I've not seen for years have been sharing it with their friends. It's all quite humbling, especially considering I thought that this would only really be read by a handful of people. If you've read it or told anyone about it, THANK YOU!! Please continue to spread the word if you like what you read.
