Hey most of mine have been mentioned already but ...

- Our baby daughter being born. Wow! Incredible ....

Everything else kinda pales into insignifance after that but other cool stuff that happened this year.

- Rockin with Mound in Canada and with Mudhoney.

- Rockin in Prague with the Corpo. I still can't quite believe the rock star treatment we received and how much fun it was. Makes all the practising in shitty rooms, lugging amps around and playing to 10 people worthwhile ....

- ATP in April. Not a great ATP but seeing the Melvins and having the crack with a load of friends was deadly ....

2005 ruled. Yay to everyone and happy Xmas!

highs:
- Realising I have only 9 months (now 5 months) left in school
- Having the satisfaction of getting the music collective off the ground, putting on a gig and knowing with satisfaction that without us these people would probably be sitting at home being bored instead of ROCKING!!
- Jan-Aug with the lady love
- Oct-present with same lady love
- a certain event in mid November
- realising I'm 18 and don't actually want to drink or do drugs negating every misconception about teenagers. sXe alll the way!


Downs:
- late Aug-late Oct without said lady love (thought she was going off the college but she repeated and we both thought it was over so weren't together)

i don't get it. drugs and rock and roll are ok, but sex is out?

yeah, I guess. I realise that my virginity is my greatest gift at the moment. drugs and rock and roll are something you can do again and again, but you only loose the big V once and I want to put more thought into it.

i see.

i see.

you see when you get to my age and, *ahem*, appearance, don't regret not putting it about as a yoof, cos, like, sometimes memories are all you got. memories of mammaries.

ha ha. just kidding. i get laid all the time. or at least i wake up in a pool of blood with a sore hole twice a week.

on a serious note, virginity and losing thereof only ever serves a purpose as an amusing anecdote later in life. i lost my virginity rather banally, i'm afraid. hooker in burma while on shore leave, you know, the usual.

i'm aware that banally without the b is anally.
