Ten Interesting Things.


I remember seeing this on some discussion board I was on years ago. Members were asked to post ten interesting things about themselves, and I was so stunned by the richly fascinating pieces of information people had stashed away. The stories that Joe Stroll-Down-Town has interwoven in his personal makeup are truly astounding. Wouldn't you say?


For what it's worth, here are mine:

1) I once won Miss Stawell Gift under 8's
2) My grandad rooted Nana Mouskouri .
3) I danced onstage at the Broadford Biker's festival in gingham underwear
4) I have had a children's book published
5) I went to Kylie Minogue's 21st
6) I have had stitches in my vagina
7) I have never had a drag of a cigarette
8) My entire family flew to Fremantle for the last ever Fitzroy Football Club game
9) The Beastie Boys dedicated a song to me onstage at the Tennis centre
10) I can't abide poor punctuation and spelling mistakes on menus.


And you?

1. My first language was Indonesian. I had to learn English at age four or five.
2. I have nearly died several times - from food poisoning as a baby, from measles shortly afterwards, in a car accident at age four and from hypothermia after getting lost in a blizzard age nine.
3. My great-great-uncle was chums with Einstein (they met in an internment camp) and was the bloke responsible for translating his works from German to English. Cheers, Henry!
4. My great aunt started the Rudolph Steiner hippy schools in Australia.
5. I snubbed Home & Away's Beau Brady at a shopping centre once. Sorry, Beau.
6. My first ever 'saucy' dream involved Keanu Reeves and, inexplicably, a room full of spaghetti.
7. I have hugged Collette (of Ring My Bell fame). Hang on, I tell everyone that.
8. I can't read a note of music. Time signatures are beyond me. I am a roight musical dullard, me.
9. I have a filthy temper, but I repress it (generally).
10. A dodgy French psychic once told my eldest sister that she had a younger sister and an even "yoong-uh bruzzah". When she insisted she had two sisters and no brothers, he replied (and I've heard the tape, the poncy eurotrash arse) "Errmmmm, are yew sure? Does the yoongess, err, she ride zee motor bike? She iz a lesbian, non?"

BONUS (to make up for recycling Collette)

11. In Year One, a week or so after starting a new school, I couldn't find where the toilets were and ended up weeing my pants. In an effort to cover up such a potentially popularity-killing lapse in bladder control, I emptied the contents of a Just Juice container up and down my leg. Presumably being a spastic who covers herself in apple juice would be less socially paralysing than a girl who couldn't find the loo in time.

i can't think of one interesting thing about me, let alone ten.

um...well...i once got it on with a soldier in a club in israel and i actually got to use the phrase "is that a gun in your pocket?" unfortunately his limited english prevented him from understanding the joke and he just answered with a solitary "yes".

"2) My grandad rooted Nana Mouskouri."

*very, very long pause*

...I hope she kept the glasses on.

...The idea of calling someone "Nana" while rooting them is just too disturbing.

...The granddad I'm imagining rooting her makes it even more disturbing, but I suppose it was your other one.

I might be able to come up with something. For now...

1. My great-grandmother was "seduced" at the age of 14 (in the 1890s) and her resulting daughter was raised as her sister. The story is that the guy was "an Indian bagseller", so I'm probably 1/8 Indian.

2. I can't read a note of music. Time signatures are beyond me. I am a roight musical dullard, me.

3. I have a filthy temper, but I repress it (generally).

(From the earliest to the latest, sort-of, maybe.) Mostly about my parents, I'm not really that interesting.

1. I was brought up in a crib given to my mother by Lemmy Kilminster from Motorhead.
2. I touched the penis of David Bowie's son, Zowie, in a bath, when we were both little tackers and playmates for a short while. (before Angie accused my mum of being a theif, etc.)
3. I was once semi-kidnapped in a shopping strip when I was 5; my mother had to beat up some creepy looking guy to get me back. Next day? Police storm his house... bodies!
4. My mum was friends with the Comic Strip crew; Dawn French, Ade Edmonson, etc.
5. My dad was once Cleo UK Bachelor of the Year and Public Enemy Number 9 in the same month, for blowing up a police car.
6. I have an irrational fear of moths.
7. In a 747 toilet.. With an air hostess. I *had* to.
8. Karen O, of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs fame, sang the chorus Black Tongue to me over a cocktail while she slid her hand up my leg.
9. I threw a man's briefcase into the Yarra after he called me a blue-haired cunt.
10. I still have trouble working out whether something ironic is funny or not. I *didn't get* Starship Troopers; as in, the political satire thing, at all, on the first watching. I had to have it explained.

Sherriff said...

1. My first stepfather worked for ASIO and travelled to Israel perhaps five times a year. We left him when he was away and found a CIA handbook on making explosives. I lost it.

2. I was the first Westerner to ever train at The Yagyu school of Iaido in the hills of Nagano, Japan, where I learned to draw a sword and decapitate someone in the same movement.

3. I could not ride a bike until the age of fifteen.

4. I won the Westpac Mathematics competition two years in a row.

5. I was in a band and we were supported by Regurgitator, SPiderbait and Something For Kate. You may have heard of these bands, but I'll put money on the fact that you've never heard of mine.

6. I self-published my first book at the age of 7.

7. I can imitate Gordon Gano from the Violent Femmes' exactly.

8. The only words in Chinese that I can speak are, Fuck Your Mother and The Love of Buddha is within us all.
I feel they are slightly related.

9. If I ever meet anyone famous, I always think, "Well, what's the fucking big deal?"

10. I am a rabid, psyhotic, nymphomaniac. But some of you probably already figured that.

Ukulele said...

1. My parents met on a blind date and my father proposed his desire to marry my mother before dessert even hit the table. Since then, they’ve been apart for only 16 days in 34 years. This is the example of what I want from love.

2. I’ve been in love 3 times in my life. Once with a poetic farmers son, once with a hilarious Norwegian and now my current genius paramour. And I have never cheated on any of my six boyfriends.

3. I have hung out with the Rolling Stones and I practice my ukulele with the plectrum that Keith Richards gave me. It hasn’t helped my playing skills in the very least.

4. I’ve survived cancer.

5. I assisted with the delivery of my sister’s baby who we only had in our lives for 8 hours before he died.

6. Gene Simmons from KISS asked me 3 times to come back to his hotel room and ‘party’ with him. I declined the offer 3 times.

7. I have played the clarinet in front of 4 million people or maybe more on 2 separate occasions.

8. For the past 6 years, I have cried almost every single day.

9. I have a sixth sense which in my family is only identified in my grandmother and I. An elderly American Indian woman randomly came up to me in 1991 when I was walking through a pilgrimage festival and said that I should “stop being so frightened of your ability or my gift will conquer you in the end.” and then she walked away. To this day I still stifle most of my sensory impulses because of fear.

10. I have sat in karaoke bars far and wide and seen people sing along to songs where the video has a 19 year old model dancing badly. Only once has someone made the connection between me and the video.

I can't abide typos and spelling mistakes on menus either. I was particularly annoyed by finding a number of errors on the room service menu at the Sheraton On The Park, Sydney. Five star bloody hotel and they can't get a menu right? Plus it's not like they change the Room Service menu every night and do it in a hurry.

--Hostile17

P.S. You should have put "I've never seen a single episode of 'Buffy'" on your list...

12Apr13:01
Jess said...

Oh, actually - can I ask a question regarding your list, Ms Fits?

Do you count joints in your 'never had a drag of a cigarette' claim? Or are they a completely separate entity and a-ok to suck on?

I am impressed though. I had my first drag of a cigarette at 9.

Polywise said...

1. When I was 18 months old, I was voted the most beautiful baby in NSW by Woman’s Weekly readers.
2. I was a contestant on and ABC game show in the early ‘90s called, Vidiot. I won a gameboy, a walkman and some tapes. The only one I liked was by the Baby Animals.
3. My uncle swam in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. He reckons he helped Dawn Fraser steal the infamous flag.
4. When I was 10, I taught myself to do backflips by watching tapes of gymnasts at the Commonwealth Games. It was a very painful process.
5. I had dinner last night with John Pilger, his partner and my semi-famous dissenter journo boyfriend.
6. I can’t read music, yet I managed to fool my childhood music teacher for years by learning songs by ear. I still can’t read music, haven’t practiced for years, but can still play songs on the piano, tuba and flute.
7. I was expelled from Sunday School when I was 11 for a range of “behaviour” that included sending my teacher (the Rabbi’s son!) a written death threat, and releasing a flock of pigeons in a synagogue. I quite happily took the fall for my co-conspirators.
8. During my first year of university I was a cocktail waitress in the high rollers room at Star City Casino. What they say about inner sanctums in casinos is true.
9. I swam competitively as a teenager. I didn’t get breasts or my period until I was nearly 17. But then, I could swim nearly 50 metres underwater without coming up for a breath, so I didn’t care.
10. My first ever long-term boyfriend was a steroid-munching body builder. I was 15 and he was 19. My poor parents.

And you Hostile17 should have typed AHARHARHAR after your informative Sheraton on the Park anecdote.

Nick Cave came to my garage sale, circa 1993. He didn't buy anything, though I remember he seemed a bit taken with a particularly ugly orange table lamp.

Because I am a music critic. Don't you know? We're all bitter, twisted failed-ex-musos and perpetually premenstrual cows.

1/. I was the first person in the world to survive from a certain type of lymphatic disorder that I was born with. Doctors told my parents that they would turn off the life support the next morning. When my parents arrived that morning I had fully recovered.

2/. I hope God gets fucked in the arse by the pope, because of the minister from my grandmothers church who told my father that it was because of his sins that I would die.

3/. Caught my mother cheating on my father when I was four.

4/. Developed instant deep hatred for my (previously) favourite relative when at his funeral I found out he was a very active member of the Liberal Party.

5/. Was encouraged by teacher to leave music class in high school because I had no talent.

6/. While writing songs with my favourite song writer of all time he told me that I was the musical equivalent of the guitarist in his band. On other occasions he also compared my musical compositions to that of Neil Finn, Sting, Peter Gabriel and David Bowie.

7/. Did not realise until an hour into conversation that I was drinking with the object of my biggest rock goddess crush. Then once she came back to my place I was so overwhelmed by the constant over the top compliments she gave that I clammed up and allowed her to leave hours later without sex.

8/. Once convinced a much older woman (when I was a young lad) that she would be better off taking me home than the three guys she had organised. Once she awoke late the following morning she declared...
"Gee you sure made up for those three cocks I wanted".

9/. Had a very cunning bisexual female friend who squeezed me out of a very promising conquest. Later (on the same night) I fucked the girl she was after, kissed the guy she was after and left her with nothing.

10/. Have caught up with and slept with all of my previously failed youthful conquests (with the only exception being rock goddess babe).

(Buck - Mouskouri was pretty hot. A long time ago. Name notwithstanding.)

But christ. How to compare.

Um.

1. I once had a three-hour lunch with John Clarke. Then we emailed a few times until I couldn't think of anything to say that wasn't sad and fanboy-ish so I never replied to his last email. I think it might be a bit late now.

2. I have never been overseas (except to New Zealand, which doesn't count). I am desperate to.

3. I once... actually, let's leave out 3-6. They're a bit too personal for public disclosure at this point, I think.

4. Had a 1" darning needle in my left foot for three months, no one believed me until mum pulled it out with a magnet.
5. Narrowly missed out appearing on Sale of the Century in 1987.
6. At a public function, walked up to a (then serving) Federal government minister & informed him that his fly was undone.
7. Pranced about at several Fringe Parades, once in a bicycle-themed costume that included a sprocket bra, the whole emsemble later had to be cut off my bruised & bleeding body.
8. Possibly the only cyclist ever attired as a Big Red Fat Cat to ride through Burnley Tunnel.
9. Once jumped off a paling fence onto a Rhodesian Ridgeback attacking my cat. Cat survived, dog got a kicking & I got a tetanus shot.
10. Am planning to ride the 2011 Audax Paris-Brest (1200km), in under 85 hours.

Well, I got one more:

11) I once acted as a lawyer on a team in a private international arbitration where our client ran a nuclear power plant that had a major accident, in a Western country, that no-one knows about.

1. I am the only person in Canada to go through the Alternative Measures program twice as an adult. Once for destruction of a truck, the other time for weed possesion.

2. I have come close to death innumerable times: crowbar to temple, chocking on my own mucous (severe mononucleosis), brick to base of skull from ten steps up (thrown), two severe car accidents (in one I was the only survivor), escaped house fire at age of nine (went back for cat, failed, escaped) many close shaves on bicycle, cocaine overdose, and many more.

3. I once tortured a guy for three hours in a speedfreaks garage over a $6000 drug debt. I didnt get the money, we let him go, he tried to murder me two days later, prompting my move across the country.

4. I have sold approx. 2000lbs of marijuana over the past four years with a 8 month break. I am now out of the game and have gone legit.

5. I stole a six pack of beer from Marylin Manson's mini fridge after selling weed to him in his bus. He is boring.

6. I egged Leonard Cohen's residence in Montreal and challenged him to a fight when he came to the window. He declined and I went to a bar after.

7. When Sook-Yin Lee (failed Canadian-MTV celeb) asked if she could smoke some of our weed (we were puffing in an alley) I told her to jam it up her ass. She asked if we knew who she was to which I replied "Yes, now fuck off."

8. I currently work for the worlds fastest growing hedge fund utilizing a quantitative mchanical trading program. Quite the reversal!

9. I have written four books of short stories and 3 books of poetry detailing the life of a young alcoholic who was a bit in over his head who ran and made it. The poems are published in magazines surprisingly enough, the stories have yet to see print. I don;t submit and I don't care.

10. I have severe and frightening deja vu's and have experienced these throughout my entire life. I find that if I do not smoke pot the frequency and intensity of these experiences goes through the roof.
