Gabriel said that when he grows up he will be a fireman and I will be the fire chief.

The Cockaluch

Gabriel refers to the cockroach in Wall-E as the "Cockaluch." He wants to get one as his "best" pet.

First Drunkeness

At Young St, my friend Robert Poole and I shared a bottle of wine during the say one afternoon. We skulled it in the bathroom and waited for the effects to kick in. We then went down to local park to lurk. Robert spent the next few hours throwing up in my bathroom.

Young St

We lived in a house in 8 Young St, Warrawee. Every winter the house would flood. We would spend long nights watching the water rise wandering whether it would reach the house. My sister Amy says she still occasionally dreams of rising waters - I myself prefer tidal waves.
