Roxanne & Ms Fitzpatrick

Towards the end of 2008 I had this idea of going to Melbourne with Roxanne. Earlier in 2006 I became friends with her at Rotaract, a club for young people aged 18 to 30, and then I did leave the club over a dispute about who could do the flyer to advertise Camp Kookaburra. Roxanne had offered me to help her to design the layout, but then she decided to change her mind and gave the flyer to Leo another club member to do.

So later in October 2007 just before I started to work at Kmart Sylvania she called me. I was happy to talk to her, and then I decided for us to go into the city and have lunch together near Circular Quay. During the year of 2008 we did have many outings together, and I did enjoy her company. But towards the end of the year she had another agenda.

I believe she only needed my company, so she could get ideas about her own future. I had finished my Higher School Certificate, and had completed a semester in graphic design at St George TAFE. The course was never completed because I went to Europe and England, and when I came back I had jet lag and due to extreme tiredness lost my motivation.

So in her mind she had this desire to try and outdo me due to her own mental condition. She has schizophrenia, and her skull is smaller than her brain. So she decided to use my brain for ideas.

So early in January 2009 we flew to Melbourne, and then I decided for us to go on a chocolate tour. The tour could have been more interesting, and in one arcade the camera I had which was my parents ran out of power. I didn't bring the charger with me, so I decided to buy my own camera. The tour ended, and then we left the chocolate café and walked towards David Jones to buy a Sony camera. Roxanne walked away from me to look at the DVDs while in the store, and I was just angry. That she wasn't with me.

The camera needed a memory card to store the photos, and I had to go to Dick Smith outside the store to buy it. I only had a few minutes before the shops were to close, and due to only having a few days in Melbourne I had no time. So I told Roxanne that we have to go because I don't have time to waste.

Well this really upset her, and she wasn't happy that I had told her to move. I never swore at her or was aggressive, and during my time with Roxanne I never embarrassed her. But after that decision my friendship with her just ended.

I was really naive that she wouldn't snore when we were in Melbourne. I don't have prejudices towards large people, but I only get angry when they start to use someone else's ideas and then start to pretend like it's their own.

She had an agenda, and that agenda was to use me for personal gain.

We got back to Sydney, and I met her again at the Como station. She told me after talking to my mum that I had freaked her out in Melbourne, and then I later emailed her a message that I hadn't freaked her out.

So early in April 2009 the federal government gave her $950 as an incentive, so she could just start her Higher School Certificate at St George TAFE! Kevin Rudd at the time was giving out large sums of money as an "economic security" package, due to the downturn in the global economy.

So she studied for two years at St George TAFE, which I believe was inappropriate because she's on the disability pension, and her work capacity is less than eight hours per week.

Anyway, as Roxanne started the course I found out indirectly she now had a new boyfriend. I had befriended Jared another friend of mine that I had met at Rotaract. We nearly had a head-on collision with another car at Oyster Bay, and at the time I was unsure of going into the car with him again, so this friendship I ended back in 2007. Due to Roxanne knowing about this, I believe she was trying to prove to me that she too can also make boyfriends, but that she doesn't end her friendships in the way that I do?

And then in April 2009 I received an email from the Powerhouse Museum to volunteer for the Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibition. Before the email I had been volunteering on a project called the Dictionary of Sydney for over two years, and the work on this project was slowing down.

So by June of this year I was told to leave.

When I arrived at the museum I didn't realise that older people in the community volunteered, and one of the male volunteers abruptly told me that I looked like a 10-year-old even though at the time I was 32. Anyway, I offhandedly told the volunteers that I was from Como. Then June Fitzpatrick one of the large volunteers told me that I wasn't from the better half of this suburban area.

Paul Sabatier the volunteer program coordinator asked Ms Fitzpatrick to help me with the EcoLogic touch trolley. Well I didn't see Ms Fitzpatrick because of her remark, so after that she had this desire to get me back.

There was one day when she told me that some volunteers there get work, but she probably had added in her own mind that it shouldn't be me.

There had been an annual luncheon at the Sydney Observatory in 2009, and there was a photograph taken of the Friday volunteers with myself standing next to Paul Sharp. This photo had been stuck to a kitchen cupboard in the volunteer room, and she must have seen this photo, and it gave her an idea that was not pleasant.

So as the year 2010 came to a close a job vacancy was advertised at the museum, for the role as a part-time customer service officer. I applied for this job, and the museum did offer me an interview but later on I received an email that I hadn't been successful.

After the annual luncheon at the Sydney Observatory in 2010. I found out that Mr Sharp had got the job, and I was just devastated, so I left the museum.

Ms Fitzpatrick had achieved to manipulate staff and volunteers to have Mr Sharp hired to get me back for not seeing her EcoLogic touch trolley! Roxanne then enrolled in a high demand course to do a Certificate III in Library Services at Ultimo TAFE. I believe she had the idea at this time to live with her new boyfriend, and that she had considered the idea to have her boyfriend do the course with her.

She got the idea of going to Ultimo TAFE, because when I left high school I had studied a course there in engineering drawing. And the entire idea of being an image librarian came from me, because I had done work researching images and records for the Dictionary of Sydney. Website: www.dictionaryofsydney.org

So after this conspiracy from the museum I decided to reluctantly go back to do a Certificate II in Retail at St George TAFE.

I did finish this course (even though after it, I was quite ill). After the course had ended I was at Westfield Miranda in the newsagency trying to find a card for my mother's birthday. When she approached me to find out how I was going, or to tell me how she was going.

I told her that I had finished the course, and then she abruptly answered me. And told me that she had finished her course, and that she had got a "dis-tinction" (which I believe had a double meaning, and that she knew about Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2009 collection).

At the time I was furious with her, but I just remained calm and politely wanted to know more about this course considering she's such an inspiration? The year 2011 had been a testing year for me, and during the entire year I was enraged.

I never saw Roxanne again after that day, and she left the Sutherland Shire to live with her new boyfriend (girlfriend?).

And as for June Fitzpatrick she's now dead.

After a volunteer outing for the 18th Biennale of Sydney (2012) at Cockatoo Island.

I believe Roxanne left Sydney to live on the Central Coast at Gosford, and it's most likely she's living there alone, but she could have moved on since then. Roxanne left Rotaract and gave her role as treasurer/secretary to Leo.

Additionally, I finished a Certificate II and III in Business Administration at Sutherland TAFE.

Alexander McQueen

After Prince's death on 21 April 2016, for some reason I kept going into the Christian Dior store in Sydney. Two months before at the State Theatre I had seen the Piano & a Microphone Tour.

Anyway, I was talking to one of the salesmen there, and after my conversation with him I started to think if there were any fashion designers who were famous who were born under my star sign of Pisces.

I visited a biography website listing famous Pisceans, and his name and picture was there Alexander McQueen. So to find out more information I just needed to know if there were any books about him.

And then I discovered two books published after his death about the exhibition Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty that were held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum. And I thought to myself that I wouldn't be able to get those books here in Australia, but was surprised that Dymocks and Books Kinokuniya sold the books.

Also, it was on 16 May 2016 that the Powerhouse Museum held an exhibition on Isabella Blow, and I thought it was a strange coincidence that as I was starting to research McQueen that the museum was holding an exhibition on her clothes. Blow was a buyer and promoter of McQueen's brand.

Anyway, I bought these two books, and I was sad that such talent was wasted due to suicide, and disappointed that not much had been reported about his work in the Australian media.

It took a long time to research that he had created two brands, and was surprised that they sold the McQ Alexander McQueen brand at Myer Sydney City. But staff there seemed to know very little about him, and there was even a lack of understanding.

There's a social stigma about homosexuality, addiction to drugs and suicide, and I thought it was sad that some people would not respect him, because of these decisions that he had made.

Anyway, I'm still in awe of his talent and his work is inspiring. He definitely made me think about social stigmas, and that fashion is not just a business but can be an art form.

His brand is not for everyone, and I believe only a person who's interested in luxury fashion would buy his clothes.

Life and death of Alexander McQueen

I was looking at some old photos and updating my Photos library when I noticed the date on an event matched Alexander McQueen's birthday.

The event was a Powerhouse Museum volunteer outing at the Macquarie University Museum of Ancient Cultures, and the date was in Sydney's time on 18 March 2010. McQueen was born on 17 March 1969, and on that day of the volunteer outing he would have just turned 41. London is a few hours behind Sydney, and I wondered why this date had been such a priority for the person to set the event on this day.

Then I realised it was Paul Sabatier the volunteer program coordinator who set this date, because he worked on Thursdays and the event had been on a Thursday. McQueen died on Thursday 11 February 2010.

Louise Cannane a volunteer program officer left the museum on 24 March 2010, so why had she been in such a hurry to leave the museum after working there for 20 years, and a week after McQueen's birthday?

Ms Cannane was offered this job in April 2009, because another staff member was on maternity leave, and her days were Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. Mr Sabatier worked on the rest of the other days.

Until August 2010 he had worked at the museum for nearly four years there, and then I later found out he was travelling to and from work, for just over three hours a day as he lived at Moss Vale at the time!

So why did the museum hire a man who had to travel to work for such long hours?

Anyway, there was another volunteer outing held on 31 May 2010 at the Australian Museum, and then a week before this date in Sydney's time on 24 May 2010 two months after Ms Cannane left the museum. McQueen's ex-partner George Forsyth died, and in London's time his death was on Sunday 23 May 2010. Mr Sabatier didn't attend the volunteer outing due to jet lag maybe?

So was it a coincidence that Mr Sabatier had scheduled two volunteer events close, or near dates that were significant to two other men's lives?

Was he a hitman for another party's interest, and was in a contract killing to target McQueen and Mr Forsyth?

Was Mr Sabatier working at the museum early February and late May 2010?

Did Ms Cannane and Dawn Rose who took over Ms Cannane's job know what was going on, and too afraid to say anything?

At the time Mr Sabatier was still working at the museum in May 2010, and he left the museum on Wednesday 4 August 2010, and this was the same day of the week when Ms Cannane left.

A job vacancy was advertised at the museum late October 2010, for the role as a part-time customer service officer. I applied for this job but later on was unsuccessful. This job went to Paul Sharp another volunteer who I believe the museum knew in advance was going to be employed.

And I just felt the museum had created this offer, so I would apply for this job and then be disappointed when rejected. Later they reduced his role to be a gallery officer on 3 January 2012 after 12 months when he first got the job as a customer service officer.

I left the museum for a year and a half, and then I started to volunteer there again early in July 2012. Then all of a sudden one of the volunteers in the Thursday group died on Thursday 26 July 2012.

June Dawn Fitzpatrick (19 February 1927 to 26 July 2012).

She had been to the 18th Biennale of Sydney (2012) at Cockatoo Island, and then after the event died. In The Sydney Morning Herald a message stating her death on 6 August 2012 was posted, and then on 7 August 2012 a day after the post. There was an article in a Southern Highlands newspaper, and Mr Sabatier at a primary school sports event wearing blue vinyl gloves near a barbecue serving cooked food (blue vinyl gloves are used for hygiene procedures, and don't protect the hands from the heat).

So did Mr Sabatier kill Ms Fitzpatrick, and suggest in this photo what gloves he was wearing?

There were two volunteer outings scheduled in the February 2010 volunteer newsletter the first was a week later after Alexander McQueen's death at the Sydney Observatory on 19 February 2010, and then the second event a week later after George Forsyth's death at the Australian Museum on 31 May 2010.

So how did Mr Sabatier know in advance by three months that McQueen's ex-partner was going to die?

Additionally, June Fitzpatrick's birthday was at the Sydney Observatory on 19 February 2010 and she turned 83 years old. So was this the reason for this date to be scheduled in the volunteer newsletter?

At a later date with the annual general meeting that was held on 27 July 2010. June Fitzpatrick died two years later after this date on 26 July 2012 and she was 85 years old. So was there a working relationship?

Nine years since Isabella Blow's funeral, which was held on 15 May 2007 the museum held an exhibition on her life in Sydney's time starting on 14 May 2016. So were these dates just a coincidence?

In conclusion (continues from "In my life passive-aggressive behaviour")

I believe Peter indirectly gave Ms Johnson money to slap my face with the newsletter and to call me a rebel. At the time I was 16 years old, and then 16 years later Roxanne received $950 to start her Higher School Certificate at St George TAFE. Also, I believe Peter was still friends with Lucas and because he was a public school teacher at the time he knew people at the Department of Education to make this happen. Lucas then asked one of his friends to contact Roxanne to find out what her interests were, and after their shady relationship had ended she was just told to leave Sydney forever.

Those people who worked at the same department had contacted Paul Sabatier at the Powerhouse Museum to give him money to kill Alexander McQueen and George Forsyth. June Fitzpatrick was also given money by those people to have Paul Sharp hired, because she wanted to get back at me for not seeing her EcoLogic touch trolley.

Mr Sabatier was told by those people at the same department to then kill Ms Fitzpatrick, because she knew that he was a hitman who worked for their interest. He was also given money to have the photograph taken of himself at the primary school sports event, so whoever gave him the money on this day were also involved in having McQueen, Mr Forsyth and Ms Fitzpatrick killed.
