I have placed the lines that I wanted to use for the first edit in bold. After this I moved around and deleted parts that were not conducive to the story.
I also noted the times from the original recording so I knew where I needed to go for a certain line. Below are the main words used in the transcript (wordle).
So How did you meet matt? (5) I met matt when I was dating another guy called kent. (9)On a pub crawl. Kent invited me on the pub crawl and there was (12)this weird guy who just seemed very very different from anyone else that I have ever met. And his half drunk and just talking. And then we sort of friend off and on for a little while and for a year her wrote me letters. (33)For a year he wrote me letters and he tried to get me to date him. Went no, no, no, was not interested and was generally not interested for the whole time and he just kept writing me letters
So how did you get together?
Um well. God I don’t even know. (54)I kept saying no I wouldn’t date him, no I wouldn’t date him I was interested. And I actually wasn’t. (1.01)then I went overseas when I came back from overseas I was down in the dumps I was pretty depressed and I was pushing everyone away. He was one of the only people who non stopped called me and make sure I was ok. And he was just sort of at me at me at me and until I went do you know what (1.20)this guy is actually really nice and he kinda wants to look after me ok. Ill date him. So it wasn’t really the greatest beginning but in a way it was kinda lovely. And then we started seeing each other more and more and yeah (1.30)he was making me haopy and we would have fun together. That was the big thing, we would have fun together, like kids everythings spontaneous.
That’d be great. So when did it start going bad?
Ummm. Pretty much straight away. The reason why he was writing me letters asu opposed to seeing me before we ever got together was because very soon after I met him, (2.03)I was out with some friends at the austral one nightand matt happened to be there being kicked out by one of the bouncers. And when he spotted me outside the front with my friends and he supposed to be leaving, (2.16)he was dragged away by the police and the police beat the crap out of him. And all of my friends got to watch this. And they were like how do you know this bozo? And like I don’t know him. Completely denied that I knew him. So he started to write to me so it was bad straight away, and as soon as we started dated and seeing each other fairly regularly, he would go out with his friends on the weekend and I wouldn’t see it though, as he was mostly at his house, living at his place. And so he’d go out on the weekends and as far as I was aware he would just go out with his friends. (2.58)When he started staying with me more and more he’d go out with his friends and (3.03)he would be brought back to my house by the police. I was living with my mum. And all hours of the night we would get knocks on the front door and the police would be there and they would always say the same thing. Does this belong to you. And (3.20)matt would have no shirt on or no pants on he’d have no shoes its like his,(3.25)and he’d fallen asleep in a park and what ever. So mum would answer to door to 6 o’clock in morning to that. And you had to let him in an (3.30)you’d had to let him in cos you knew of you left him outside the front like Id done a couple of time, (3.40)he’d pull the street sign out and start smashing shit in the street. Peoples cars parked on the street, or whatever, hed just had no idea of what hes doing. So anything could happen. It was scary, you just wanted to get him inside those front doors. Shut the front doors. Let him pass out and they were the bad part. They were the bard parts. And (4.05)when people hear about those parts, they straight away, why would you stay, why would you put up with that? But the bad parts.. the good parts were just as good as the bad parts were bad. It was hat real… that real generic thing that people say, the good times are really good and the bad times are really bad. And you end up staying for the good times. But its true I have more fun with him than I ever have with any other human being I ve ever met in mywhole ilife. And I could never ever be as honest and as real as when I was with matt. And matt knows me better than anyonw because I could say anything to matt and the same withhim he could say anything to me and I was really rea. The good times were really good. We had more fun than anything. Like kids. Two little kids with each other.
So I underaand why you go back
Even my mum said the other day thatlike you and matt together it was so beautiful but she didn’t see. How bad it was aswell. It was so like (5.20)if you could only get a pair of scissors and cut the bad part out of this person. Itd be perfect it be amazing
How oftern was the bad time?
Very varied. It would go… it would probably … really depended so it would probably be like sometimes it would get oto be once a week. Twice a week three times a wee. But what would happen (5.54)hed go out on a massive bender and the next day hed be really really regeretful and be really really sorry and if the bender was bad enough hed be so regretful that (6.04)he wouldn’t drink for a month. And hed try not drink for a month. And youd encourage him and hed be like I feel really good doing this. And (6.14)then hed break and one day hid ring you and say im gonna stay back at the nui bar. And I bed like what are nt you coming home. Please don’t drink, don’t start drinking. And hed be like (6.20)im just going to have one or two. And that was like just it sealed the deal for the night. That you knew..
So what. What made you decide to finish it?
You.. it wasn’t a normal kinda break up. It wasn’t how it we should have broken up which is like .. im sick of this , I don’t wannna be treated like this any more im too good for this we need to break up. That did happen like 2 or 3 times and we broke up for a whole year. And then we got back together again and we got back to gether for about a year. And (7.05)I ended up getting pregnant to him. And when I said to him. When I came to decidiosn that I wanted to abort tha baby, cos I couldn’t have a baby with someon like him, (7.17)no way id never ever let my baby be brought up with an alcoholic parent. Id want my kid the best start… anyway. And then (7.23)I told him I want to abort th baby. He got really really shitty, he wanted to keep the baby. And so we sorted drifted apart a little bit. And then … break up happened after a serires of events and very basically… its hard to explain. Actualy really hard to explain. So for a little while I (7.51)after the abortion. I knew there was something wrong. And suspected that he was cheating on me. As for everyint time hed go out and get shit faced and pass out id take his phone and his camera which he always had on him, (8.05)and I go through his phone and camera. And there would never be anything really on there. In his phone or on his camera but I kept checking anyway cos I still had that feeling. And then one day there was umm a work event that he had to got to. And it was some kindsa festval. I went along as well. Iwas there pretty much all day taking photos. Of the event. For him while he was working and some of us together and then I left abou 3 oclock and he stayied on and partied on and all the rest of that stuff. And then I … when *ONE NIGHT* (8.44)he eventually came home, he was smashed, he was drunk, and he passé dout. And I did my usaual thing and (8.52)I got his phone and his camera and whent thorugh both of htem and didn’t find anything in the sms of the phone so I looked at the camera. ()And … there were a series of pictures … and there was (9.15)a girl at this event that we been to this day. And matt had spent the day taking photos up her skirt. In the most opportune moments like when you getting outtat he car and youe just and you accidently flash your knicker. Hed taken like 10 pcitures of this girl all (9.35)up skirth kinda photos or down the top kinda photos. And shed had no idea he just zoomed in on her. And I kept scrolling thourhgh on his camera. And there a few ore photos of her. And then I went back to the phone and loked and the photos and film footage on the phone he had film it nine oclock
Sorry
Startagain
That’s really annoying (10.05)He had photos and film footage on his phone of girls on bus. School girls on the bus young school girls on the bus from the ages of 13 to 16 17 maybe. And these girls according them were just sitting on the bus, going to school or comong home or whatever. He was sitting across and it was all up skirt stuff that hed be taking film footage of. For a whole bus ride hed be doing whatever he could to try and get (10.35)down their tops or up wither skirts. And filming this. Most of thegirls didn’t know what was going on. One of the m obviouslt picked up half way thorugh when he was filming and started covering herself up . and look very very awrward. Um and (10.52)the worst of the worst and the part that made me want to hack him to pieces was… he .. had.. taken the opportunity to film my sister, naked, putting tanning lotion on. One night, cos we all lived togather. And so he amanged to film that. (11.09)While he was masturbating. For a good five 10 minutes. And I saw red. All of his drinking all of the bad stuff that wed ever been thourgh none of it compared to that. To that. That was enough for me to want to kill him. And so do you know I waked him up, told him to et the fuck out of the house . got all his stuff and threw it on greenhill road. Outside the front of my house. And .. (11.43)we got into fisicuff he tried to strangel me. His a huge guy his like 6 2 6 3 and ways like 100 kg.
So how did it iend effect you now
How did it end. That’s how it ended I broke all his cds and whatever I could het ghis hands on that he couldn’t take with him that day. Broke as much of his shit as I could and told him to fuck off. And then I didn’t do the smart thing and give yourself time. I jumped straight into a another relationship within the space of two weeks. What question???
How did it end?
If he ever came near me again id cut him to piece. It was luck y I didn’t cut his dick of that night. It sounds like a joke… (12.48)I was hovering around the knife collection in the kitchen. This man just deserves it, what a pig.All the drinking, that’s not tolerable but its my choice to be there for that. This involved other people and innocent people as well.
a And youger people as well. Get fucked with that… if that was my kid on the school bus. No way.
And you didn’t report him
I did unfortunate the up skirting laws were not there. They where still trying to push it though. If you wanna take it up in the next 12 months, he could get in a lot of troub. Alrigh leave it wirth mem and I guess I have 12 months to do anything with ti. But after 12 months… I just wanted to move. And I pretty much have, I was with someone else… dealing with a while set of knew problems…
Oh no.
Seriously a whiole new set of problems …
Howabout now???
Now. Um I im not a new recovering from what happened with matt who was the first guy I really love the only give I really love, but im dealing with consequences of being with the guy I jumped into the relationship straight after mat.. that might be worst that what happened with matt. Im all over the shop now. Im not good in relationships. I manage to have them.
