  Comment on My Life is a House by mark

  I might have added these except

  a) they are even a little duller than the things I did mention, and they were pretty dull.

  b) Not all of these are true in the classic sense and I thought I’d better stick to the facts (not that I normally let that get in the way of a good story)

  c) Attending any course associated with Deakin is not the sort of thing you want to spread around about yourself.

  d) I was trying to limit myself to 10 dull things about myself, not every single dull thing about myself.

  Finn is very taken with Scooby Doo. Although he finds bits really scary, he just loves it. This morning he wanted to make a story of his own, so here it is.

  What is this “40 things before 40″ that you speak of? I don’t have much time to turn around before I turn 40.

  New Year’s Eve

  We are off to a friend’s for New Year’s tonight (family-friendly style on the back deck with the kids in sleeping bags on the floor.) This is pretty much the last thing we are doing before our move. We had hoped to catch up with lots more people before we left, but there was only [...]

  My Life is a House

   » ‎ Mark O'Meara: the blog

  Inspired by this post, here are some thing that you might or might not know about me. Chances are, if you know me, then you already know these things. I do tend to tell my own stories relentlessly.

  1. For a few years in the early 1980s, I went by a different surname. This surname belonged to my mother’s second husband, and we used it from the time they were married to when she gave him the boot that he so richly deserved.

  2. I co-presented film reviews on community radio for most of my twenties. The first show was with Dad, Fig and a friend of mine. It was called Three Men and a Movie and it was on a station then called South Eastern Radio. Then Dad and I did a couple of similar shows on 3CR. Eventually we were given the flick because neither of us were openly gay or female. Strange but true.

  3. I have written about thirty-five songs and recorded two albums and an EP. Between all three of them, they sold less than one hundred copies. They were called Shambolic; Duck Ponds and the Sunset and the Sea; and Banjo on My Knee.

  4. I made a series of short films, also during my twenties. They were, for the most part, utterly tedious. The process of making them; however, was a lot of fun. Some of the titles were; Sunset; Trilby; Patience; and Daydream #347. The others I have forgotten entirely.

  5. I have moved house many times.
  1. Mooroolbark to Ringwood
  2. Ringwood to Chewton
  3. Chewton to Bendigo
  4. Bendigo to Camberwell
  5. Camberwell to Parkville
  6. Parkville to Parkville
  7. Parkville to Flemington
  8. Flemington to Camberwell
  9. Camberwell to Carlton
  10. Carlton to Carlton
  11. Carlton to Camberwell
  12. Camberwell to Kew
  13. Kew to Camberwell
  14. Camberwell to Glen Iris
  15. Glen Iris to Camberwell
  16. Camberwell to Richmond
  17. Richmond to Richmond
  18. Richmond to Northcote
  19. Northcote to my current house in the western suburbs.

  6. I was spectacularly defamed on a top-rating breakfast show in my early twenties. They gave my full name and address and claimed I was unemployed drop out who worked as a porn star, had a small penis, and smelly feet. They were partially right; I do have smelly feet. I considered legal action, and the best advice I got was to drop it. A large corporation could outspend me and drag the whole business out for many years.

  7. I became a teacher for two reasons. First of all, I delivered quite a bit of training in my job, and I was good at presenting information to people. Secondly, Finn was on the way when I left my corporate job, and it struck me that moderately switched-on people should spend some of their working lives giving something back. It seemed all wrong to leave this important job to the sorts of people that I had known who went into teaching. I’m not especially bright, but I’m bright enough to do my bit.

  8. I performed in the Raw Comedy heats three times, all in Geelong. Once, I managed second place.

  9. I have never left Australia, not even for a couple of days.

  10. My majors at University were in politics and psychology. Now, I teach English and I love it.

  11. I don’t tag people. It’s just not how I roll.
