Neglecting…Well, Me.

BLOGS!

Well I haven’t been blogging much, at least not here. I have done a few on So You’ve Been Dumped.com and even more on the NSDesign Blog – most recently about a new VOIP discovery – REBTEL (Who Doesn’t Love Cheap Calls?)

Geez, I just don’t get the time to write in any personal nature. If I do, it’s quick snippets on one of my Twitter profiles. These days I have one, main Twitter account (@newthea) but  also have a private one (for friends only), and have recently re-instated the ole @soyouvebeendump profile to share news, articles, tips, break up lines etc.

CHOONZ!

Musically speaking – I recently saw a stunning show – Angus & Julia Stone – at the ABC; and am really looking forward to catching Echo and Bunnymen stateside with some of my dearest friends (courtesy of the lovely guitarist Gx).

STORIES!

We’ll soon be launching our 3rd chapter in the So You’ve Been Dumped Stories page on Facebook. This time is a gorgeous gay chap, Matt from Boston. Really can’t wait to unveil this one!

Have you “liked” our Facebook page? You can do it from our homepage now on So Youve Been Dumped.com.

BOOKS!

Now Reading
Now Reading…

Reading some good books on Social Media: ‘The NOW Revolution’ (7 Shifts to Make Your Business Faster, Smarter, and More social) and 30-Minute Social Media Marketing by Susan Gunelius.

RADIO!

It’s high time for a return to Radio Six International. I’ll be presenting shows starting in July for a new series of Sounds Across Ecosse! It’ll likely be the best songs of the year so far.

One of which will be AM’s “Dark Into Light” which I’m currently in the throes of making a video for! It’s a gem, this one. Watch this space…

CIAO!

That’s about it. Life is good, holidays are good, there’s a spring in my step and a little love in my heart, what else could a girl ask for then? xoxo

As Seen in the SUN!

SYBD in Scottish Sun Newspaper - Screengrab

Monday Sun

It’s not every day I get called a “Californian Computer Whizz” (oh how the press does make me laugh) but we’ll go with it.

As my father always says “talk good about me, talk bad about me but just talk about me”. And of course, there’s the old adage of, “There’s No Such Thing as Bad Publicity”.

Anyway woke up to an email about a wee feature in today’s Sun newspaper. That’s a good way to start a Monday.

‘Really hoping to get a few more break-up lines sent in (to add to our collection that spans several hundred already).

Scottish Sun Screen Shot - Feb 21 So You've Been Dumped

Sun Press 21 Feb

As you can see it’s only a little blurb in the Scottish Sun about the wonderful break up lines (only a small %) posted on the SYBD site.

Really must get my book completed soon and for sale on So You’ve Been Dumped.

Oh the things people say….

What a hoot!

What the article doesn’t say is that the site was launched back in 2000.

Also slightly inaccurate about the “ditched by the dream fella she’d moved to Scotland for in 1992.”
Bollocks. That’s not even true. That relationship ended YEARS before the conception of the site. I had a long term relationship after that and then a short term one which is the true one that inspired it. Had nothing to do with the so-called Dream Guy who brought me here.

But then that’s the press for you I guess. At least I liked the photo. Of course I should because I’d submitted it YEARS ago when they did a feature on me while I was at Q96.

Not that any of that matters to anyone else but me, but I had to set the record straight. This site was not about any GUY dumping me – it was about a series of three fellas dumping me – over four years -  more than twelve years ago!

And hey, I haven’t really been dumped since – so that’s good eh?

Yes, it’s true, I am no longer “that dumped chick”.

Thank God.
