Regular #tvblogchat!

Hey guys!

First things first, I just want to say a HUGE thanks to everyone who participated in my trial #tvblogchat last Thursday. It was so much fun -o spend an hour chatting to people who are just as enthusiastic about TV as I am was so lovely, and to hear such positive comments at the end was such a boost.

So, given the fact that some of you sounded interested, I've decided to make TV Blog Chat a monthly event! I considered weekly, but honestly, I think having a month between chats will be more productive! It gives everyone time to discover new shows, or rediscover old ones, and means the topics won't get stale! I think there's a danger with any weekly chat that, depending on the subject matter, things can become a little repetitive, and I'd hate for that to happen! With that in mind, you can look forward to a TV chat on the first Thursday of every month at 7.30pm!

So here are the dates of the chat for the next few months (say whaaaat, how can December be so close already??!), and closer to the time, topics will be listed on my blog and on the snazzy new @TvBlogChat twitter account I may have just set up...

Thursday 3rd September

Thursday 1st October

Thursday 5th November

Thursday 3rd December

I will be on the lookout for topic suggestions and potentially guest hosts soon, so please send me your ideas! Follow along on Twitter at @TVBlogChat. And, as a sidenote, you absolutely don't have to be a blogger yourself to participate in this chat - all you need is a healthy appetite for television and a twitter account!

Happy chatting and thanks for reading :)

30 Day Snap #25

TWITTER EXCITEMENT OVERLOAD

First of all, I just want to give a little shout out to the Scottish Blogging community. You ladies are all fantastic, and I love what a friendly, supportive little network we have going on right now. I am determined to plan a summer meet up (soon!) and will hopefully see lots and lots of your faces (old and new!) there :)

This week has been a good week for me social media wise. I don't know if perhaps because my birthday is in two days (eeeeeeek), the twitter fairies were being kind to me, but today not one, but three exciting items appeared in my notifications. I got a cheeky wee retweet from Rick Yancey, who is the author of the book I just started reading this morning (and mentioned in yesterday's post!). I also got a tweet from Kandee Johnson, my favourite YouTuber EVER and considering how many tweets a day this girl must get, that's insane!! Had a lovely time joining in with the first Scottish Bloggers weekly twitter chat (fear not if you missed it, it's scheduled for Tuesdays 8pm-9pm from now on, thanks to @SBloggerNetwork!) and we ended up having a chat about our blogging/youtube heroes. Mine have always been Kandee Johnson and Louise Sprinkle of Glitter, so you can imagine my excitement when the former replied to our conversation about her! Kandee really did inspire me to start on YouTube, so seeing her name pop up in my notifications was so cool!

And finally. Probably the best tweet I've ever received. I won't go on and on about it because frankly I'd be here all day, but (as some of my recent posts might have revealed), I love Bo Bruce. Just a bit. And today I woke up to a tweet from her thanking me for ''totally getting'' her album - which she figured out from watching my review. On Youtube. This news still hasn't sunk in (fangirl overload) but it's so nice to think that she has heard me talk about her amazing songs and feels like we're on the same page. This means we're besties now, right? Right.

In other news, I almost put sugar in my soup at lunch again, the sun never appeared in Glasgow all day and my cold has not really improved. I'd say it averaged out a pretty good day ;)

Thanks for reading!!!
