Five years, (that's all we've got)
How old were you?29
What grade were you in? I was without doubt, too cool for school, (ok, I was too old.)
Where did you go to school? The horror of Market Weighton
Where did you work? The horror of the Hull Homeless and Rootless Project
Where did you live? Park Street, in the most massive flat. We thoroughly indulged ourselves there.
Where did you hang out? The flat, Spiders, Room, Polar Bear, Sillhouette Club, Sharkeys, Ye Olde White Harte, Black Boy, we drank a lot in those days.
How was your hair style? Much longer than it is now, dyed black with either a blue or purple Rozz Williams type streak at the front.
Did you wear braces? Over my shoulders certainly, an Englishman is not correclty dressed without braces. On my teeth, never.
Did you wear glasses? I did. I had yet to discover the joy of contact lenses.
Who was your best friend? Mr Ede, "the wife" as he was known back then.
Who was your boyfriend/girlfriend? I was single at the time, but behaving in the most disgraceful and dispicable manner imaginable. I had the morals of a dog.
Who was your celebrity crush? I don't recall.
Who was your regular-person crush? I'm sure there were a few.
Were you a virgin? Most certainly not.
How many piercings did you have? I can't remember. More than I have now.
How many tattoos did you have? Just the one.
What was your favorite band? I would have been listening to lots of Christian Death, The Cure (Bloodflowers all too frequently) and Marilyn Manson, for 'twas before he became a tedious joke.
What was your biggest fear? Those dear to me and myself had recently experienced the one of the most harrowing times we'd been through, having lost someone we loved dearly. I was scared we wouldn't see the end of it. I was scared of dealing with it. I was scared of losing others. Apart from that, we feared nothing and no one, (perhaps we feared running out of chemicals and the fags, but that never happened.) We were not to be fucked with.
Had you smoked a cigarette yet? I was in love with the fags
Had you gotten drunk or high yet? Constantly.
Had you driven yet? Unsuccessfully.
Today
How old are you? 34.
What grade are you in? N/A
Where do you go to school? I am still too cool for school. I recently did some training in Goole though, and very useful it was too. Who would have thought that Goole could be a venue for enlightenment?
Where do you work? Here. Damn groovy we are too.
Where do you live? Hessle Road. Pronounced Ezzel Rerd
Where do you hang out? Home is where the heart is.
How is your hair style? Gingery blondey, curly, floppy, plaited. In need of dyeing red again and desperate for trim.

How many piercings do you have? I really cannot be bothered to count. I've lost a few though.
How many tattoos do you have? One, still, despite wanting more.
What is your favorite band? The Cure, still.
What is your biggest fear? That this bloody house will never be finished and that I'll die in the middle of doing odd jobs.
Have you smoked a cigarette yet? I have been a non smoker for almost a year. I feel smug.
Have you gotten drunk or high yet? Not for a while...
Have you driven yet? I still cannot drive.
