Firsts

This seems a fun little meme.

  1. Who was your first prom date?
    1. Maggie O. It was her senior prom. I was a junior.
  2. Do you still talk to your first love?
    1. 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.
  3. What was your first alcoholic drink?
    1. Probably a Budweiser, taking a sip of Dad’s and hating it.
  4. What was your first job?
    1. Either babysitting or lawn mowing. I did have a paper route too.
  5. What was your first car?
    1. Ford Escort 3-door hatchback.
  6. Who was the first person to text you today?
    1. No one.
  7. Who is the first person you thought of this morning
    1. Person? I guess my daughter, being concerned about her hamster.
  8. Who was your first grade teacher?
    1. 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.
  9. Where did you go on your first ride on an airplane?
    1. 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.
  10. Who was your first best friend, and do you still talk to them?
    1. 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.
  11. Where was your first sleepover?
    1. Not sure, but one of the earliest ones I can remember was I think maybe in 4th grade? Some kid’s birthday party.
  12. Who was the first person you talked to today?
    1. My wife.
  13. Whose wedding were you in the first time?
    1. Maybe Bill’s, from college. Usher.
  14. What was the first thing you did this morning?
    1. Came upstairs and checked on the hamster.
  15. What was the first concert you ever went to?
    1. I don’t remember.
  16. First tattoo?
    1. Only tattoo. On my outer right calf.
  17. First piercing?
    1. 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.
  18. First foreign country you’ve been to?
    1. South Korea
  19. First movie you remember seeing in the theater?
    1. 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.
  20. When was your first detention?
    1. Never.
  21. What was the first state you lived in?
    1. Nebraska
  22. Who was your first roommate?
    1. 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.
  23. If you had one wish, what would it be?
    1. For more wishes. 😉
  24. What is something you would learn if you had the chance?
    1. Just one? There’s so many things….
  25. Who do you think will be the next person to post this?
    1. Don’t know. Don’t care.
