Here goes.....
I was born in Australia and from the very tender age of 3 weeks was adopted into a very caring family with an older brother who adored me. My family is Scottish so I see myself as part Scottish part Aussie, (which later changes). I went through all my years in Primary and High School. In primary school I played hockey and ended up playing for my local district in the state competitions. Once I hit High School I didn't care much for any sport. I turned my passion from that to music, if there was anything musical at school I'd try out...I was and still am a really shit singer hence I never got any singing parts in our school productions but I did get into the band playing the keyboard. I feel i'm a good keyboard player, not a beethoven, but am good enough to read music and play. After high school I did absolutely nothing.
I had a few jobs here and there but no real ambitions, I guess I really wasted my life. I went out partying 6 days outta 7 every week with my friend and just burnt myself out. I don't drink anymore because I just dont see the point.
In my mid 20's was when my life changed, I met my birth mum and still to this day keep in contact with her. This is where my heritage kinda changes, I will always be part scottish because that is the way i was brought up, but after meeting my birth mum I also have German in me, so Im a Scottish/German Aussie :) I also have 2 younger brothers. (All the brothers to try and keep me in line). The great part about that was that I was finally a BIG sister. (Always being the baby sometimes sucked)
I met a guy when I was 20 and thought that he was the one, I so wanted to spend the rest of my life with him....didn't happen. 13 years down the track he left me, that was my big drop, I had devoted my life to this one person, given birth to 2 beautiful girls and went through alot and then one day my heart just exploded. I was majorly depressed, i cried everyday (several times per day), I cried myself to sleep on many occasions. I was lonely, I didn't think I could do it by myself. 9 months later...(and yes it sounds so cliche, but it worked), I was watching TV and saw a song which later helped me realise that I can do it on my own, and that I wasn't afraid...that's when things started looking up again. Now like I said, it does sound stupid and pathetic but it helps me and therefore - Thanks MCR for making me realise there's more to life than feeling sorry for yourself and believing that you are a no-one...I am someone, I am ME and I'm happy to be Me.
WOW, that was rather long winded, hope you haven't fallen asleep.
Please feel free to say hi anytime you want. I will get back to everyone.
Love Lainey

I love to listen to music, play games with my kids (hide and seek is all the go at the moment) and then in my spare time I either sit on the computer or watch tv, write music & poetry or do some craft. I am fairly creative and am always coming up with great ideas for gifts etc., On the weekends my time is dedicated to watching Aussie Rules footy (Go Crows).

I love Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Powderfinger, Bernard Fanning, Grinspoon, Living End, Silverchair (alot of other Aussie bands)....The list goes on. I really love any music....except for country and hip hop!

Well I have to say that one of my all time favourites would have to be 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'...wow Tim Curry in heels just turned me on. I like alot of other movies, some of which are...Gladiator, Titanic, all the Harry Potter movies...yes, you read right, hey, I liked the books why not enjoy the movies. Hmmm I really cant think of anymore without saying all of them because I don't want to say one and not another.

The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Supernatural, House, Law & Order - SVU & CI. I like alot of shows and will not list them. If you really wanna know anymore just ask me, i'm happy to tell you.....and I have to say, I really love Buffy...I own all 7 seasons on DVD.

Don't really read very much, any spare time I have, I usually do craftwork or am on the computer. Really the only books that I've read from start to finish and really got into was the entire Harry Potter series, great books, maybe a bit young for me to have enjoyed so much but who cares, they were good for me.
