Jeez this is like reminisce-fest 2004 in here 
Well here goes...
Primary school through to the end of Year 10, I didn't really listen to too much music so that didn't define me at all. I was the typical intelligent, music-playing, not-too-athletic, very few friends, guy. So to be obvious, I was a 'nerd.' Also in about year 8 I discovered that I was gay and discovered the joys of sex. This pretty much shaped my life for the next 6 years or so. I became a little distant from my family and became more adept at misinformation - yes lying to do what I wanted, which pretty much revolved around sex. But hey...
Then we have the college years (in Canberra, college is Year 11 & 12), this is where I really started to come out of my shell and be myself. I gained a whole lot more friends through music. I was in a lot of musical groups, like wind orchestras, orchestras and the like because I play trombone and the college I went to was the place to go for music, so there were a lot of like minded people there and I fitted in quite well. When I was 16 I went to my first real party where I had more than just a sip of alcohol for the first time. Still hadn't had any drugs though, still wasn't really listening to too much music. This period in my life was defined by a bit of rebellion, parent-hating, and sexual confusion.
Then we come to the year I turned 20. I took a year off between finishing Year 12 (finally after 4 years doing year 11 & 12![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")
) and starting uni. This was my Amway phase 8) Yes I got sucked in, spent a whole heap of money and didn't really get anywhere. It was a great system that didn't really have a hope of working for me though... I spent time being unemployed and annoyed, then got a job and also discovered drugs and through drugs discovered electronic music. Yes I did it the wrong way, I didn't really know anything about the music before I delved straight away into the drug scene, aaah ignorance
Then we come to the uni years: 21-24. I moved to Sydney which was a very very good thing for me, became much more comfortable being me and really discovered the joys of electronic music. I went through the subbies stage, as pretty much everyone does, every weekend for about 6 months or so. I also discovered raves and larger festival-style events at this stage. In fact I would go to pretty much anything if it had the opportunity for me to get fucked up on pills I finally realised that I really didn't like hard house or hard trance, or in fact hard anything really and got really into Progressive house, then went on into a funky house and funky breaks, then an all things breaks phase which is where I am now.
Now I am pretty much off drugs, am about to start a PhD in Chemical Engineering and am getting on with my life and loving it
Now thats about the longest post that I've written in ages
