I don’t want to be infamous… I want to be… famous

Having a blog is making me something of an ultra-local celebrity. People from all walks of my life now regularly tune in for the latest gossip on Jamesomalley. It’s frustrating though- as this is a website, I don’t get the instant “celebrity” reaction that say, Dave Gorman, would when doing his stage thing. What’s more is that I don’t know who’s reading or paying attention. Everytime I do find out someone is reading, it unnerves me slightly more and more.
It makes me want to self-censor. Should I tell “you”, the reader, about all of my class-A drug fueled binges where I end up spending a night in the cells, or should I keep it quiet in cases my parents see?
Should I criticise a lecture I’ve had because it was rubbish? What if my university is reading?
I already know my former-Wilkinsons colleagues have read all the stuff I wrote about working there. I’ve no idea if they still keep up with my adventures now, though. It was weird going into a pub a whileback and hearing people shout “Tillmonkey!” at me.
Matt’s girlfriend, Beth, reads this blog whilst she’s at school. I’m practically a teacher aid. (NOT ‘teaching AIDS’).
My driving instructor found my blog, thanks to my mother. Just because I made one quip about women drivers, I spend the entire lesson being worked harder than ever before.
I think one of the strangest things to happen though is that someone found my blog by searching for “jd market harborough“- JD of course, being one of my many friends. Whilst they could have been looking for anyone named JD, or indeed, any drink or sports shop, it seems they were looking for the JD I know.
Gina, JD’s girlfriend, MSN’d me earlier to let me know that her mother reads my blog. She apparently told Gina the story of my latest foot-in-mouth incidident, from my perspective!
This is very odd- not only are people I know well reading, but people I’ve never met, and have no intention of meeting could be reading too!
Right, here’s what we’re going to do. I want you to name and shame yourselves- everyone reading post a comment explaining who you and are how you know me. I’ll follow this up with a post explaining the highlights.
