To be honest there have been so many times it is difficult to know where to start.
I asked the questions about whether a woman ever asks for it. I feel (perhaps it is not right, but I feel it) that I have been so stupid that I deserved it sometimes. My psychiatrist and all the counsellors say that a woman never deserves it, but sometimes I know that I have been very stupid.
There have been times in my life when I have been so out of it on drugs or alcohol that I haven't known where I have been. When this has happened I have often had unsafe sex – is that rape or just being a slut? I really don't know to be honest. But I can say that I have never had a sexually transmitted disease or been pregnant. Amazing, hey?
There is one time I can mention. There have just been so many times. And like all of those times I cant quite remember all the details. Just one image followed by another image, and sometimes I'm not sure what the time-order of the images should be.
There were three of us, me and two friends. We were in a pub in a part of Sydney that is known for being sleazy. Prostitutes and brothels all over the place. We drank and drank and got more and more drunk. This couple came and joined us. They seemed cool and eventually my two friends wanted to go home.
I insisted on staying. Both of them tried to talk me out of staying but I was stubborn. Hey, I was with a couple, so they were fine. He was dressed nice and she seemed OK. So my friends went home.
I remember drinking lots and lots of beer. They drank spirits, I think, scotch and stuff. he had white trousers, I remember that, and dirty runners. She had long dark hair and she had these little starts stuck in the hair, I have no idea how she did that. I was 19 when this happened. They were about 30.
I remember standing up and nearly falling over. I was so out of it that I don't know if it was alcohol or something they put in my drink. I'm being too over-dramatic now. Drinking with the medication I have taken almost all my life is a bad, bad idea. It wipes out my memory, it is a stupid thing to do.
