canberra punks and beyond

i recently stumbled on a website called @canberra punks and beyond.@ I'm kind of ashamed to admit it but i was a very young "hanger on" of the scene. I'm not embarrassed because it is uncool, I'm embarrassed that i was so universally ignored (so it now appears) that i dont feature in any of the photos of the time. i was the quintessential "somebodies girlfriend." definatley not cool enough to be remembered. The embarrassement of youth just comes flooding back. It also confirms for me that despite all attempts at being oh so alternative the "scene" was increadably conventional. It was certianly criminal and violent and almost completley ignored the chicks at the pool tables. The cringes just keep coming, and i just keep looking. its a bit of a scabby wound i need to keep poking at. yicck!
