There's a First Time for Everything.

1. Who was your FIRST prom date?
His name was Andy and he thought Veruca Salt was pronounced Verusha Salt. Shudder.

2. What was your FIRST alcoholic drink?

I think it was a beer, blech.

3. What was your FIRST job?

I worked for my uncle's engineering firm. I learned how to work the blueprint machine. Sometimes I smell office supplies and am totally transported back to that office.

4. What was your FIRST car?

My Plymouth Horizon, I loved that ugly red thing. I bought it myself. I had borrowed vehicles up until then. (I was 21 when I bought it. It is actually the only car that was ever mine, bought by me for me.)

5. Who was the FIRST person to text you today?
No texts, no texts at all.

6. Who is the FIRST person you thought of this morning?
Will, I had a dream where he was at home, and I half expected to roll into him in bed.

7. Who was your FIRST grade teacher?

I actually had two, because we moved during first grade. I do not remember the first one, all I remember about her is that I did not like her nor did I like first grade. It was hard. We lived in a small town (the K-12th grades were all in one building) and didn't have workbooks. We had to copy our work out of the textbook, and I had so much homework in my desk that I never turned in that I probably would have failed had we not moved. The other was Ms. Roof and she had the most awesome bun. I loved school after that.

8. Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane?

Probably to the Dakotas or home from the Dakotas.

9. Who was your FIRST best friend, and are you still friends with him / her?
My brother G'Rat, and yes I am still friends with him. But other than him, I think I had a friend named Sara, (I have had a few friends named Sara) and we moved away (in first grade.)

10. Who was your FIRST kiss?

DJ. Yes he went by that. And it was freshman year of high school and we totally were playing spin the bottle with a bottle of Cappio (anyone remember that? Mmmm.)

11. Who was the FIRST person you talked to today?

Myself of course. I am my mother's daughter. Then I talked to Rhayn who told me she was too excited to sleep anymore.

12. What was the FIRST thing you did this morning?

Talked to the girls and went downstairs to see if St. Nicholas left them anything in their shoes. (He did!)

13. What was the FIRST concert you ever went to?
Spin Doctors, Screaming Trees, and Soul Asylum. It was the 90s, y'all.

14. What was your FIRST tattoo or piercing?

Um, when I was 18 for the tattoo. I pierced my belly button when I was 16. (In my bedroom with a safety pin.)

15. What was the FIRST foreign country you went to?

First and only- Mexico. And I have only been there twice. Can we say LAME?

16. What was the FIRST movie you saw in the theater?

The first one I remember was Gremlins. But I think my mom went to see Star Wars when she was pregnant with me does that count?

17. When was your FIRST detention?

Probably freshman year. I was so lame I sometimes went to detention just to draw because it was held in the art room. Oh, and DJ (see #10, #19, #20 and #23) was almost always in there, too.

The boy in the plaid dress is DJ, we wore that to school for spirit week switch day. I loved that silly babydoll dress. Oh, and yes I am wearing polka pot boxers. I loved Twister, ok?

18. What was the FIRST state you lived in?

Arizona

19. Who was the FIRST person to really break your heart?

DJ. (See #10) he started dating another girl. It about killed me. No, wait, actually in Jr High I was infatuated with our red-headed neighbor and he didn't like me back, that hurt, too.

20. With whom was your FIRST date?

I guess it was with this guy Daniel. But really as far as dates I don't remember doing a lot of that, you know, being all infatuated with that DJ character.

21. What was your FIRST pet?

Oscar the wiener dog. (He was my parents, but I sort of remember him.)

22. Who was your FIRST roommate?
Lisa, we lived across the interstate from our boyfriends. We didn't have furniture so we found a couch and loveseat in the trash. We left them on our patio for a week, because of the cockroaches. Then moved them in our house. We allowed our friends to draw all over them.

Here is one of my friends drawing on my couch. But by this time, Lisa had moved out and like 5 guys had moved in with me. This was one of them. My living room had a bunk bed in it. It was a really stinky boy apartment. But those posters? Those were all me.

23. Who was your FIRST love?

DJ.

24. What was your FIRST screen name?
Ravenous76 or hypnotica I can't remember.

25. When did you have your FIRST baby?
I had Rhayn in 2001. Then Gwennie in 2005.
