!*!*!ABOUT ME!*!*!

Well I was born on the 28th day of the 12th month of the year 1982. I was born in King Edward Memorial Hospital here in Perth and I've lived in Perth all my life. Originally we lived in the suburb of Beechboro, and then when my sister was born on the 9th day of the 10 month of the year 1984 we needed a bigger home and so we moved to the suburb of Thornlie which is where we still live.

When I was 4 I started pre-school at Forest Cresent Primary School which is literally a minutes walk away! I went there in the first year that the school was open and stayed there until the end of Year 7 when along with most of the other kids I went to Thornlie Senior High School in 1995. I remained in high school until 1999 when I repeated Year 11 to do a course called T.E.A.M. which stands for Thornlie Employment Access Module where basically all we did was bum around all day listening to music but also had all the best resources to get a job, get into TAFE, or get into UNI. Well after 2 and a half terms I decided I'd go to TAFE to do Certificate 2 in Security Operations and after 14 weeks I passed and went on to do Certificates 3 & 4 which were combined to run at the same time and after 6 weeks I passed them too!

My plan at this time was to get any old job in a super-market just to get some cash before I turned 18 and could get my security license. But getting a job turned out to be harder than I thought it would be and by the time I turned 18 on the 28th of December 2000 I still didn't have a job but in January 2001 I started work at a company called Heat Enterprises which did direct marketing for AAPT. but being a commission and incentives job I only lasted a month. And 2 months later I'm still looking for another job, but I'm sure one will come along soon.

At about the end of 1997 I heard of this chat site called Ozchat and started chatting there and started meeting and getting to know some of the most amazing people I've ever known who changed my outlook on life in amazing ways. But about mid-way through the year 2000 on a off-chance I went back to Battle Of The Sexes chat which is where I used to chat and bumped into this chatter who was just floating around idly with no-one to chat to. Her handle was love_kisses and her real name was Emma Tattam and I started chatting to her and then got her ICQ number off her and kept in contact with her and got to know her really well. The one day she asked me if I'd go out with her but I said no as I was already going out with someone else. But that relationship didn't last long partly due to the fact that I really felt something strong for Emma. So about 2 weeks after the Olympics we started going out and despite having a sometimes shaky and bumpy relationship involving braking up twice we are still together today and happy in the knowledge that we love each other and that in about a years time she will be moving here to be with me.

Well that brings us to the present and I think I've managed to avoid too many boring bits. I hope you've enjoyed my little story.
