Family

I've got the full Brady Bunch set-up - three boys, three girls. There's mum (Marjory - now passed), dad (Dave, also passed), then from eldest to youngest: Glenys, Shirley, Rodney, Jeanette, me and Carl. I'm the middle male child on the Brady Bunch chart, below, and therefore I always identified with Peter on the show.

Interests

Reading, listening to music, playing guitar and recording music, seeing films, writing novels and screenplays, seeing bands, doing internet sites, photo manipulation, seeing friends, taking long walks, cruising shopping malls, second-hand bookstores and cd stores, hanging out down funky Fitzroy, snow skiing, watching tennis and baseball games (I used to play, but not lately), travelling, learning Spanish, meeting women, sleeping in, dreaming, trying to be a better person, waiting for my next phase.

Fears

That Xenomorph in the Alien films. Eeuugh, I had nightmares for days!

That Xenomorph in John Carpenter's The Thing. Phew, I had nightmares and felt paranoid for days!

Walking through the doors of Centrelink (the unemployment office).

Early morning wake-ups.

Losing all my possessions.

Losing my sanity.

Loss of friends or family.

Failure.

Fantasies

I'll spare you the sexual kind (but they do involve certain female tennis players and grass stains on my knees!)...

To roller blade around inside the local shopping mall and down every aisle in my local supermarket.

To realise a working Socialist-type society (no, the USSR was not Socialism).

To open a cd and record lending library where the stock is loaned from the collections of contributors - a kind of antidote to obsessively anal consumerism.

To go back in time and get it right.

...Well, there's plenty more, but that'll do...
