Stupid survey

10 Years Ago...December 1996

How old were you?
18

Where did you go to school?
Adelaide

I didn't. If I'd had a job, I would have failed Year 12 - for the second year running.

Where did you live?
At Mum's in Ye Olde Boganville Findon

Where did you hang out?
In Southern Cross arcade where the owner of the health food store used to give us free coffee (ironic huh?), I also hung out at gigs that Reckoning did and all that jazz....

What was your hairstyle?
Long. Pretty much the same as now, only natural colour

Did you wear glasses?
No. Have perfect eyesight.

Who was your regular-person crush?
Then, I wasn't really interested in anyone. Was still reeling over the mistake that was Ben Davis. Lol.

How many tattoos did you have?
None. I am too chicken.

How many piercings did you have?
One in each ear. Again, I'm a wuss.

What car did you drive?
Bah, didn't drive. I was too lazy to get off my Ls. I didn't get my Ps till I was 21.

What was your favorite band/group?
I don't even remember. I know I was listening to the Smashing Pumpkins...a lot.
What was your worst fear?
Spiders. And being made to hang out with Ben Davis.

Had you driven yet?
Yes. Didn't have a licence but had driven Dad's mini moke & he'd tried to teach me how to drive his van. He never tried again. He he...

Had you been to a real party yet?
Oh yeah, baby! Our high school formal after-party kicked ass!

Had your heart broken?
Yeah. I guess. It's all water under the bridge....

Single/Taken/Married/Divorced/Bitter?
I was single at that point....


5 Years Ago...December 2001

How old were you?
23

Where did you go to school?
I wasn't at school. I finished my degree in 2000 and I was working at that awful bloody transport company, selling my soul for a few bucks.

Where did you work?
See above....

Where did you live?
Mum's still.

Where did you hang out?
I floated around a lot. I think that was in the stage where I was going out to bars EVERYWHERE and hanging out at Spanner's after band until 4am (then going to work at 7am!)

How was your hair style?
A little shorter and a funny maroon-y red colour.

Did you wear glasses?
No.

Who was your regular-person crush?
Matt. We'd been together for a while at that point...

How many tattoos did you have?
None. Still a chicken.

How many piercings did you have?
Just the one in each ear still. I was still a wuss.

What car did you drive?
Oh, how I miss you, little red Holden Apollo.....

What was your favorite band/group?
This was at the point where I was listening to bloody everything but I was starting to get heavily into neo-swing, funk and jazz (even moreso than before).

What was your worst fear?
That I would lose the ones I loved.

Had you been to a real party yet?
I was friends with Matt, Marie-Ann (the tequila pisshead!) and Jonathon. What do you THINK is the answer to that question?!

Had your heart broken?
Um, yeah, but it wasn't relevant at that point. Again, water under the bridge.

Single/Taken/Married/Divorced/Bitter?
Taken.

Now...December 2006

How old are you?
28

At a school. Won't divulge the name for security reasons but I love it there. Love the kids, the staff... :)

Where do you hang out?
At jazz gigs, at the Uni bar on rare occasions but often at pubs like The Austral etc and at dinner...

How is your hair style?
Very long at the moment, needs a cut and is about twenty five different colours all melted into one. I'm going for the sexy shaggy look. lol..

Do you wear glasses?
No. My eyesight's still great.

Do you talk to your old friends?
A few. Um, still friends with a few from school (in fact, some are my closest friends) and I love all the people I met in the first degree (even though I didn't actually study with them) so yeah, that's a yes.

How many piercings do you have?
Still one in each ear. Don't really want anymore.

How many tattoos?
None, but I think I want a music symbol or something. I've become brave in my old age.

What kind of car do you have?
A non-running 1980 3 litre diesel Mercedes Benz of the baby poo yellow persuasion.

What is your favorite band/group?
I don't have a favourite band (although U2 always rates really highly, naturally) but I'm still listening to majorly eclectic range of music incl but not limited to neo-swing (RCR, Cherry Poppin Daddies, Atomic Fireballs), funk and soul (Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Goose, Al Green, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Curtis Mayfield, Chuck Brown), jazz (Stan Getz, Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, Errol Garner, Dexter Gordon, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Benny Goodman, Ella...too many to mention), classic bands (Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Bon Jovi, early RHCP, REM, Toto...hehehe)...... geez this list is going too long. I'll leave it there....

What is your biggest fear?
Losing my loved ones....being rejected and hurt again.

Have you been arrested, if so how many times total?
No.

Has your heart been broken?
I'm healing.... my heart was broken badly several times but I'm okay. Things are looking up.

Single/Taken/Married/Divorced/Bitter?
Why isn't 'hopeful' or 'potential' on the list?
