I am nothing if not easily led

Ok, so, my boyfriend did a blog. So I decided I wanted to do a blog as well.  It's a good thing I don't apply this logic to my entire life with him, or I'd be watching sc-fi, eating marmite and dabbling in stand-up.  None of these are things I care to do no matter how cool one of them might be.  I think we all know which one.

Aside from a few (ancient) blogs I did on Myspace (for which I don't even recall my password), I've never blogged before.  I always thought it was because I had nothing to say, but my voluminous tweets suggest otherwise. I'll qualify the statement, and say it's because I generally only have vacuous and ranty things to say.  But sometimes people like to read that, and I evidently like to write it, so this blog is as much for my own amusement as anyone else's.

My name's Helen, but if you follow me on Twitter you'll know me as Glamlovinkitty.  I've often thought about changing the name, even though I've used it for years, because people have told me it sounds a bit arrogant.  Let me clarify.  I'm not suggesting that I am glamorous. I'm really not, and have never thought I was.  I am 'glam lovin' in the sense that I love glam, the musical genre.  And the 'kitty' part is from the other name I sometimes post under, Metalkitten.  Now that I'm 38 (for another 8 days at least), they seem stupid names. But it's too late to go back now. 

So, I love glam (and other rock, and classical, music).  I hate manufactured pop crap, and particularly any 'reality' TV show that suggests that turning up to audition with 20,000 other imbeciles before letting 6 million imbeciles decide by phone which imbecile is the best, is the reality of the music business (apply this as necessary to the dancing/skating/living in a house with other imbeciles/being famous for no evident reason business).  

I live with my boyfriend and love our three cats, and comedy.  I bloody love comedy.  I also bloody hate some.  Some of you will already know what falls into which category.  Others will doubtless find out from future blogs.

Talking of future blogs, they'll cover comedy, music, books and the generally irritating things that happen to me on a daily basis.  Rarely will they be deep.  Occasionally they will be ranty.  Always, they will be typed in the Verdana font.  I don't know why, I just like the word.

The title of this blog comes from a song I like by the Only Ones.  It seemed apt.
