"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinions starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around." ~Hugh Grant

Round up of my life....

Firstly, thanks to all my amazing followers and thanks for following this blog. I'm over 90 followers now but as I am typing this I realised that I've lost a follower! GRRR. I'm not bothered because at least people can appreciate this blog :) Can't thank you all personally, but you all have been followed back. 

Now onto the annoyingly emotional part....

Actually it's really not that emotional. 

I've been thinking about it for a while and think I may actually do it. I'm gonna set up a britcomedy blog- not for gifs and lark like I do now- but for actually writing reviews and shit. Because I'm starting to realise the more I think, the more I would love to be an actual comedy critic (if that is a job, please tell me it is) . 

I thought I wouldn't like to get into any sort of comedy because I use it as more of an escapism plus I don't like discussing comedy with people unless they are my best friends- not even my family know (apart from the sister) about my Lee Mack obsession, cos I've always been slightly embarrassed about it because, thanks to QI, sometimes if I mention his name people will go off on a massive rant- and that would really hurt me. 

But now thanks to Tumblr mainly and due to the fact I realise people actually do read my tweets, I'm a bit more open about it. So as much as radio is fun and would still love to do radio if I got the chance, the idea of getting into comedy critiquing or working for a entertainment magazine such as Radio Times is far more thrilling to me.

I interviewed Tom Rosenthal who played Johnny from Friday Night Dinner last week (the article is here is you want to view it). It was just a phoner, but it was still one of the most awesome experiences of my life! And I was thinking, how awesome would it be to do that all the time. And I've decided I'm gonna make it my mission if life to do so.

This does mean I will have to be as unbiased as I possibly can, even with people I love such as Lee Mack (I've finished reading his book by the way, and can highly recommend it) I'm going to have to be critical. 

Anyways, like all the time I've spent most of this post going on about crap. So I better leave it here...
