OK it's probably not going to make much sense to you dear reader as yet, but here are my first thoughts and key words to get me started with my autobiography. I am basically listing the keys here so I have a copy in case I lose my bits of scrap paper.
* Childhood * reading, Love Lane, Paul, Sarah Brightmore, big fish, little pond, granny and her husband, The Professionals and Annie.
* Adolescence * high school, boys, early sexual experiences, no interest in study, gothicism, religion, Mark, Germany, Sarah, spirituality, music, concerts, depressive suicidal tendencies.
* College UK * Grease, Australia, engaged, drinking, Pete, Nigel, late nights, Shakespeare and theatre trips to York.
* Australia * College, Sean, University, teaching, cheating, Craig, Jarno, Ian, Tim, John and Elliot, and the ubiquitous body issues.
* Family * Location, fatherly sayings, family history, catering, working from age 8.
* Adulthood * being married, houses, divorce, Ifan,America, Morgaine, Gravelly Beach, Spirituality, teaching, career.
There's lots more to add, but this was a quick five minute go at getting down the first things that came to mind. You will notice a series of names throughout. I am deciding which ones to leave out as not particularly vital to working on the " who I am " element of me. I have decided I sound like a tart, which doesn't actually bother me. I know I am not.
I didn't lose my virginity until I was 18, so you could hardly say I was an early starter...I just want to make sure, that when it comes to the relationship part of it all, that I include those who made an imprint, whether negative or positive is irrelevant.
Just off to pack, will see you all in a week.
Until then, I'm just a little bit heiress,
a little bit Irish
A little bit Tower of Pisa
Whenever I see ya
So please be kind if I'm a mess
