Amnesia Lane 8 Meme

16 April 2006, 14:49

Because it’s Easter Sunday and I’m bored, let’s reminisce (just because I can) with an Amnesia Lane 8:

First town you ever lived in: Toronto, New South Wales (south of Newcastle)

First album owned: The Greatest Hits Of Donna Summer (1977) including the disco classics “I Feel Love”, “Could it be Magic” and “I love to love you baby” except it was on tape, not vinyl. Sadly, Husband does not know who Donna Summer is…

First pub gig seen: Icehouse in 1986 at the Newcastle Workers Club (yes, I was underaged…)

First Celebrity Crush: Bill Mumy from “Lost in Space”

First Film you remember seeing: The Green Slime (horror classic!) on TV, and The Uncanny at the Greta Drive In.

First time you drank alcohol: I was 3 (apparently – I only have the recollections of my parents) and polished off the dregs of everyone’s drinks (sherry, wine, you name it) at my cousin’s Christening. My parents found me and my second cousin Shona (the grand old age of 4) rolling drunk under a table.

First paying job: Waitress in a Chinese Restaurant in Hervey Bay, Queensland

First Kiss: I was 5 ( a right hussy!) and just won the Best Teddy Bear Contest at my Kindergarten. To celebrate, I pashed my best buddy “Peter” at the back of class during afternoon story time.

  2. omg, I can SO relate to the Donna Summer album, I was quite the disco queen myself back in the day :D

    And Icehouse, my favourite Aussie band. EVER.

    Knew there was something about you I liked (although I’ll forgive you for residing in Melbourne) :P

  3. Thanks Eve – sorry guv, but I’d take Melbourne over Sydney any day. Iva Davies was my superhero back in the 80s… although my mother sought to break my heart by insinuating that he was GAY and having an affair with Graeme Murphy. Honestly. Mothers. Hrmph.

  4. Kinkers I would totally post this on my blog but some of my answers are SO embarassing and all of my siblings read my blog. I don’t think they want to read about my first pash (or is it that I don’t want them to know). We may be older now but they still know how to tease the shit out of me even from the southern hemisphere. Here are my answers:

    First town you ever lived in: Sunny Brisbane in Sunny Queensland, Australia

    First album owned: God I don’t know but it could have been something by Bon Jovi.

    First pub gig seen: This is a hard one…most of the live music I went to early on was at BIG venues. For example I saw Kylie Minogue and Madonna while I was in high school. Oh yeah baby!!

    First Celebrity Crush: River Phoenix

    First Film you remember seeing: The Labyrinth

    First time you drank alcohol: I guess with my grandparents at xmas – I was probably in my early teens. I felt so naughty sipping on a West Coast Cooler.

    First paying job: I worked at a snack bar making sandwiches….I dropped sandwiches a lot.

    First Kiss: Well my first tongue kiss was when I was 12 – it was terrible and sloppy but my heart was racing wildly as we tried to kiss out in the backyard of my house. I was kind of horrified afterwards.
