11/17

On 11/17, when i was 15 - i went to see the Circle Jerks, False Prophets and A.O.D. at the Reggae Lounge. (i'd run away from home, for the last time, about a month earlier - escaping from an abusive situation and beginning a cascade of legal events which ended in me having my own apartment by the time i was 16. Which was much less fun than you'd imagine it was!)

i went to the show with a bunch of friends (Sir Larry included) Some how, thru much finagling, i got another friend of mine to hold on to my glasses, asked Sir if He could hold my hand and take me up front to be in the mosh pit... since of course, i could see with out my glasses, i needed an escort.

The rest is history. He stuck with me thru all those freakin' HORRIBLE days in court, while i had to testify against my glaring, threatening family. We've been together ever since. It's been 24 years. We've gone from those crazy punk kids with the crazy hair, to those crazy Metal heads, with the crazy hair, involved with many, many bands along the way, to the crazy Master slave couple - still with the crazy hair.

i couldn't have asked for a better life. i am a damn lucky woman!

i miss You! Do You have email again?

Yes, amazing that He went from no hair to hair to dreads (which are not hair) back to no hair. i guess it's the 24 year cycle of hair life in an elderly punk!

Yes, I've got email, all my old accounts are active again. I use the goblin king one mostly.

The hair thing is interesting. I grew out my hair. Actually had long hair when I met Jett. Then she got this bondagey blunt cut a few months after we met and I shaved it again. And I think I've been there ever since.
