Just stumbled across the 332 Edward St blog that one of my housemates did up in June 2006. Consisted of one entry (and the above image). Dear god I miss those times;
"Scott Finlay* 19, answers the door wearing nothing but a dressing gown, ug boots and a smile. 'Someone's here' he yells out to no-one in particular. He gestures to them to follow him, as he turns and heads down the corridor. Upon passing the door on the right, he bangs on it and keeps going. Movement can heard on the other side, but that quickly subdues. Scott passes the hallway door and disappears to the left. The next room appears to be a loungeroom. In the 3-seater, Jason Fletcher* lies wrapped in three cotton blankets because it's too cold to sleep in his room, aka the "ice fortress". The fire place which has been converted to a gas heater isn't on, because the cord is not long enough to reach the only powerpoint in the room. Against the wall on the right, resides the daybed. Not comfortable nor even functional, the bed serves to prop intoxicated tenants up from the floor, when not in the bathtub. A ridiculous tv unit holds a big black television 3 feet from the ground, underpining the tv is a dvd player and a monopoly board game. A partition connects the loungeroom to the kitchen, where Scott sits at the table in the middle of the wood slat floor. He sips from a coffee mug, slowly and deliberately, momentarily looking from them as, Dane Kirkland* enters the room. It's 9:41 in the morning of a Saturday, you could get breakfast at McDonalds at this time, but not Dane naturally awake. He is barely conscious but says hello, then progresses back to his room and shuts the door.
Such is the house of 332 Edward St.
Tenants:
- Dane Kirkland.
18. Currently studying a double degree of BA (Multimedia)/(Graphic Design) at CSU Wagga. He is a first year, but hopes this is not his only year. He one day plans to design parachute graphix and start his own business. Name pending. He is a man of few words, which doesn't mean he doesn't talk much, just that his vocabularly isn't very expansive. His new word is: Gigantanormus. (He likes making words up.)
- Jason Fletcher. aka the 'J-Fizzla'
18. Attends CSU Wagga trying to get a BSc in Spatial Science, though he is not entirely
sure that it is exactly what he wants to do, but he's doing it anyway *Dane nb - thats stupid*. He's a procrastinating photographer, who really should do more photography than he does currently and not be so damn picky. He also wishes his room wasnt so damn cold, so he could sleep in there occasionally.
- Scott Finlay.
19. Attends CSU Wagga, undertaking a B Social Working degree. He enjoys moonlight strolls down the Esplenade, and skipping in the rain. Likes to wear womens products when he thinks no-one can see, and really shouldnt let other people write his bio for him, because they'll just make shit up. But he really is at Uni."
