1. Who was your FIRST prom date?
Never did the prom thang.
2. Who was your FIRST love and do you still talk with him/her?
Probably Stacy, though I wouldn't have admitted it at the time. Last time I talked to her, it was extremely strained due to religious and related historic "issues."
3. What was your FIRST alcoholic drink?
Beer or martini - sips of my dad's. Still enjoy a good beer.
4. What was your FIRST job?
Mowing lawns/babysitting. First "real" job was clerk at a gift shop.
5. What was your FIRST car?
The first one I owned was a '73 Buick Centurion.
6. Who was the FIRST person to text you today?
My phone is currently not receiving texts, much to my wife's chagrin.
7. Who is the FIRST person you thought of this morning?
Sadly, it was me - as in "oh shit, I'd better get moving!" Then, my wife, Raven.
8. Who was your FIRST grade teacher?
Mrs. Vermeersh. She had no idea what to do with a kid who wanted the class to pray for a cat named Fuzzy - I was that kid, of course.
9. When and where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane?
I'm told it was when I was less than a year old, from Cincinnati to somewhere in Virginia. Apparently, the pilot held me while Mom gathered our things, and I peed all over his nice uniform.
10. Who was your FIRST best friend & do you still talk?
Stacy. See #2, FIRST love.
11. Where was your FIRST sleepover?
Nikki's house. I didn't make it through the whole night there, though.
12. Who was the FIRST person you talked to today?
The receptionist at work.
13. Whose wedding were you in the FIRST time?
My Uncle Bryan's. I was the flower girl, and said very loudly that the bride's dress was waaaaay too big for her (it was the train).
14. What was the FIRST thing you did this morning?
Prayed - I've got a few balls in the air right now, including my own metaphorical ones.
15. What was the FIRST concert you ever went to?
The Police.
16. FIRST tattoo?
Phoenix/Thunderbird over my heart - Raven and I are both Sagitarrians, so I had our "moon" signs placed under the wings.
Updated per 'dicea's request. In retrospect, I should have asked for a tattoo artist with more than 6 weeks experience.
17. FIRST piercing?
Ears, age 16 in the high school locker room. Thinking about re-piercing my nose, though.
18. FIRST foreign country you've been to?
Spain.
19. FIRST movie you remember seeing in the theater?
Bambi. I freaked the hell out when Bambi's mother was killed, and had nightmares for weeks. God, I was a wierd kid.
20. FIRST Detention you had?
8th grade for tardies. Actually, I think all my detentions were for tardiness.
21. What was the FIRST state you lived in?
Ohio.
22. If you had three wishes, what would the FIRST one be?
Stop the violins for whirled peas. Okay, smart assery aside, I don't know - for humanity to have clear vision in seeing each other simply as humans, just people, more alike than unalike.
23. What is the FIRST thing you would learn if you had the chance?
Gentle self-discipline.

"I was the flower girl, and said very loudly that the bride's dress was waaaaay too big for her (it was the train)." Very cute.
Well...the weekend's almost over and here's hoping you survived in one piece.
Great firsts, girl. And I'm right there with you on #23.
Everytime I hear of someone contemplating piercing their nose I think of having a cold and not knowing where to put the kleenex ;)
gracielou - Yeah, the Bambi thing . . . weekend ended up less wierd than expected, and 90% good.
Buffy - I can understand the confusion about nose piercing, but Ihad it pierced for about a year, and had no problems. I actually pierced it myself, since this was before everyone was doing it . . .
