THE GROWING PAINS OF KAREN SHARKEY-AGE 28 5/6
- LIBR 500 PRESENTATION
- BY Karen Sharkey
2
THE EARLY YEARS
- I have very few memories from when I was young.
- The only two things that stand out are
- nearly drowning in a swimming pool
- being terrified of everything at Disneyland
3
I was a shy and quiet kid.
- I spent most of my time reading.
4
But then I became a teenager.
- And I started getting into trouble
5
THE TEENAGE YEARS
- I was a alternative goth kid, I wore black and
listened to The Cure. - It was about this time that I started drinking
and experimenting with other stuff.
6
THE IVANHOE YEARS
- When I finished high school, I moved out to East
Van. - I spent most of my time at one of two bars, the
Ivanhoe and the Cambie.
7
I decided that I needed to leave Vancouver to get
out of my rut.
- I thought that a nice, relaxing vacation might
help. - So I convinced my friend Niki to fly to Vegas
with me and then take the Greyhound across
America to New Orleans.
8
RIDIN THE DAWG
- Theres nothing like being stuck on a bus for a
few days to make you feel a bit better about your
life. - I have a twisted love of going on long bus trips,
and this was the trip that started it.
9
- We met lots of activist punk kids who were doing
interesting things. - I felt inspired and decided that when I got home,
I would also be productive and not spend all my
time in bars.
10
THE ANARCHIST PUNK YEARS
11
I became involved in activist projects, some of
the things I worked on were
- FOOD NOT BOMBS
- ANTI-APEC DEMONSTRATIONS
- SFU WOMENS CENTRE
- SPARTACUS BOOKS
12
AND NOW
- Im at SLAIS and when I leave, I will be an
information goddess!
