Hello, Junior Gazette!

So, here is how it goes, you tag five people on Tumblr (preferably followers) and if you are tagged you give five facts about yourself. Tagged by tiimkennedy and ohthepaint.

I’ll try to keep this interesting.  [Well, as interesting as possible].  Here are five things you probably didn’t already know about me:

• At the start of 2007, when I was still seventeen, I went to a series of trial shows, run by Adam Hills.  On the final night, they decided to check ID at the door, and I was refused entry.  This led to a series of events over the next few years, including a duet with Hillsy [it’s on YouTube], making some amazing new friends, recording an EP, and now DJing at Finishing School!
• I used to really like maths.  At school, I was in the top maths group in year seven, but was demoted to the second group in year eight.  I was so disappointed that I worked really hard, and was moved back up after a couple of terms.  It all went downhill from year ten, when I had an incredibly awful teacher.  Also, I had a tendency to distract myself and others by singing “Subtitutiary Locomotion” from Bedknobs and Broomsticks whenever we were doing substitution.
  
• When I was in grade six, at the start of the year we had to introduce ourselves, and say our favourite television shows.  Mine was Daria.  Someone didn’t know what it was, and the new girl explained it in a very dismissive fashion, as just another ABC afternoon kids show.  Her favourite show was Sabrina the Teenage Witch.  From that moment, we were mortal enemies.  She was also younger than me, and we were in fierce competition to be the smartest in the year level.  She once hit me in the eye with a ruler because I pointed out a spelling error.
  
• My computer’s name is Kavalee.  The previous one was Byron.  My phone is called Marslando Calrissian.  My iPod is Rozie, the old one was Fifi.  My old nylon string guitar is called Dickhead [after the first ever song I learnt to play - the very simple “Dickhead” by Kate Nash], and my beautiful acoustic Fender is Kweller.  My netbook has recently been christened Simon.
• In 2006 I lined up for twelve hours [with my mother and two friends] to see Robbie Williams at Telstra Dome.  Bet you never would’ve guessed that one.
