Take five!

Ummm..... Sterne passed me on this meme. I'm sorry I just can't help myself. I love lists.

Read on....


10 Years Ago:
I was at uni in Brisbane studying to be a journo, I was working in a 7 - 11. I lived in a house that cost $33.00 a week in rent. I got stoned, drunk and worse for fun. I listened to Sisters Of Mercy, The Misfits, The Meanies, The Smiths, Faith No More and NIN a lot. I wore vintage Chanel lookalike suits with fishnet stayups decorated with roses at the top. These were clearly visible as my skirts were waaaay short. I had black Louise Brooks bobbed hair and toward the end of the year I wore lots of red lipstick. I was a "university lesbian".

5 Years Ago:
I met my first long term partner and we broke up in 2004 (you all know the rest) I got around in kooky eyeglasses and large Queen Latifah style turbans. I lived in a house that was $100.00 a week rent. I was Djing a lot and had a residency at a lesbian Drag King club every Friday. I worked as waitress and a sales rep for a Melbourne street press. I was listening to heaps of 70's soul sisters, Erykah Badu, Bette Davis, and electropop stuff like Electrelane, Looper, Princess Superstar and Peaches. Happy with my lot.

1 Year Ago:
Blogging, suffering though a terrible crisis that I thought would do me in. Drinking, Drugging and Fucking. Trying to find meaning in it all. Listening to very sad music. I was living in house that was $250.00 a week rent.
