This seems a fun little meme.
- Who was your first prom date?
- Maggie O. It was her senior prom. I was a junior.
- Do you still talk to your first love?
- Nope. Probably was some crush when I was a little kid, so no I don’t. I do remember the first “true” love that I had, and I don’t know what ever happened to her. Try to look for her now and again because last we did talk she wasn’t on a good road in life… so yeah, always been concerned and curious, just hoping she’s OK.
- What was your first alcoholic drink?
- Probably a Budweiser, taking a sip of Dad’s and hating it.
- What was your first job?
- Either babysitting or lawn mowing. I did have a paper route too.
- What was your first car?
- Ford Escort 3-door hatchback.
- Who was the first person to text you today?
- No one.
- Who is the first person you thought of this morning
- Person? I guess my daughter, being concerned about her hamster.
- Who was your first grade teacher?
- Mrs. Schuman. She was so sweet. I recall accidentally calling her “Mom” a few times, which tells you what a caring and loving person she was, and how much fun class was. I actually have a lot of fond memories from 1st grade, but not many from other grades. For whatever that’s worth.
- Where did you go on your first ride on an airplane?
- I can’t recall for sure (maybe this was my first), but one of the earliest plane rides I can remember was flying to South Korea. I believe I received my first LEGO kit (just a box of bricks) to keep me amused on the plane. I also seem to recall “snapper turtle soup” being served and thinking it was the most disgusting thing.
- Who was your first best friend, and do you still talk to them?
- I really don’t remember, but it was probably someone from growing up back in Omaha and most of those folks I lost touch with many many years ago.
- Where was your first sleepover?
- Not sure, but one of the earliest ones I can remember was I think maybe in 4th grade? Some kid’s birthday party.
- Who was the first person you talked to today?
- My wife.
- Whose wedding were you in the first time?
- Maybe Bill’s, from college. Usher.
- What was the first thing you did this morning?
- Came upstairs and checked on the hamster.
- What was the first concert you ever went to?
- I don’t remember.
- First tattoo?
- Only tattoo. On my outer right calf.
- First piercing?
- Right ear lobe. Freshman year of undergrad. Have 3 in my right, 2 in my left, haven’t worn earrings since I started studying martial arts. Don’t care to, but I do it now and again to weird out my kids.
- First foreign country you’ve been to?
- South Korea
- First movie you remember seeing in the theater?
- My mom loves to tell the story of me yelling “RUN BENJI RUN!!” at the screen, but I don’t remember that so I must have been pretty young. While this wasn’t my first movie to see in the theater, I do remember going to see Ghandi in the theater, being totally lost, didn’t understand it, and groaned heavily when the words “intermission” came on the screen. I’m sure I could appreciate the movie now, but back then it was just looooooong.
- When was your first detention?
- Never.
- What was the first state you lived in?
- Nebraska
- Who was your first roommate?
- Brian… I forgot his last name (I think I remember it, but either way I’m not going to print it here), but I can recall his face. Freshman year, undergrad dorms. Good guy, tho we never got close.
- If you had one wish, what would it be?
- For more wishes. 😉
- What is something you would learn if you had the chance?
- Just one? There’s so many things….
- Who do you think will be the next person to post this?
- Don’t know. Don’t care.
