Open Call: My Firsts

Rate: 11 Flag

This is my very first post.  I joined several months ago but the only writing I've done is commenting on other people's posts.  I guess one of these days I'll get around to writing something for real, but for now this questionnaire will have to do. 

 

1. First prom date:  I wasn't the prom kinda girl

 

2: First love: Angie, when I was 18-19.....my heart was broken for years after we broke up

 

3. First alcoholic drink: a beer, which I thought was the nastiest thing I'd ever tasted

 

4. First job: I worked as a janitor at an elementary school the summer between 10th and 11th grades

 

5. First car: a puke green '75 Mustang

 

6. First person to text you today:  I don't text

 

7. First person I thought of this morning:  I can't remember

 

8. First thing I did this morning:  got up, took a shower, got ready for work

 

9. First grade teacher:  Mrs. Lawson at Sunnyside Elementary in Garden Grove CA

 

10. First plane ride: from Salt Lake City back to California with my family when I was 5 or 6

 

11. First best friend:  Dennise C.

 

12. First sleepover:  I slept over at Tammy Fitch's house when I was about 9.  Totally didn't want to go but my mom made me.

 

13. First person talked to today: a co-worker

 

14. First wedding: I was a flower girl in my half-sister's wedding when I was 6.  I was so scared, I forgot to drop the flower petals along the way

 

15. First tattoo:  none

 

16. First piercing:  my ears

 

17: First concert:  Starship - when "We Built This City" was popular (Grace Slick was still a goddess)

 

18. First Foreign Country: haven't been to one yet

 

19: First movie seen in the theater:  I have absolutely no idea, but we used to go to Disney movies a lot when I was a kid and I remember seeing Sleeping Beauty at the theater and being absolutely entranced with the evil queen, especially when she's about to fight the Prince and she says something about using all the powers of hell

 

20: First detention:  once and only once! In 12th grade for skipping English class

 

21. First state lived in: California

 

22. First of three wishes: I wish my mom was still alive

 

23: First thing I would learn if I had the chance: another language like French or Italian

 

24. First Kiss: David Christiansen, who tried to swallow my face in the movie theater

 

25. First serious injury: I tore the lateral collateral ligament in my ankle during the first practice of volleyball season.  I had to wear a cast for 6 weeks and then had another 6 weeks of physical therapy (aka personal torture).  So much for volleyball that year.
