One of those About Me posts
These questions were answered on a friends LiveJournal. I pressed for the story to one answer, so I figured I'd answer them myself...
- Who was your first love?
Amy, my wife.
- Who was your first kiss and when?
Amy again. We met during the summer after my Junior year of high school and started dating after that. I think the first kiss was on her driveway.
- Who was your first prom date?
I didn't do prom. I did go to homecoming (the year after I graduated, natch) with a friend named Jessica because she asked.
- Who was your first roommate?
For some reason the name Mike comes to mind. I had roommates for about half of college.
- What alcoholic beverage did you drink when you got drunk the first time?
Peach schnaps and Mountain Dew.
- (missing...)
- What was your first job?
Running a drill press at a neighborhood printer. That didn't last for long, and then I bussed tables at Hackney's in Lake Zurich.
- What was your first car?
The first one I drove was a green (1982/4?) Mazda GLC sedan. The first one I owned was a gold (1986??)Mazda coupe, which I bought from my parents some point during or immediately after college.
- When did you go to your first funeral?
That was probably Mary Anne, a great aunt (or some combination of grands and greats). Junior High or so?
- How old were you when you first moved away from your hometown?
College doesn't really count because I came back for summers. I didn't really leave the area until '93 for the Army for four months. Then there was the motorhome in '98/99.
- Who was your first grade teacher?
Don't remember at all. The first teacher's name I can remember was Mrs. Loving, 4th grade.
- Where did you go on your first ride on an airplane?
Disney in Florida, (Junior High or so?)
- Where did you go for your first date and who was it with?
It was with Amy. Her mom didn't really let us go anywhere much. She did take me to one of her school dances (called socials).
- When you snuck out of your house for the first time, who was it with?
4th grade or so? Often it was with Forrest, one of the neighborhood friends.
- Who was your first Best Friend and are you still friends with them?
The first one was Adam. We moved out of that house to a different neighborhood around second grade. We didn't see each other again until high school. He was in that most popular group, and didn't really ever seem to notice me. At our ten-year reunion he made a big deal out of seeking me out, which was very cool.
- Who was the first person to send you flowers, or who was the first person that you sent flowers to?
I don't think I've ever sent any. First ones sent might have been co-workers at Sara Lee after my knee surgery.
- Where did you live the first time you moved out of your parents house?
I moved into an appartment in Melrose Park with Amy.
- Who is the first person you call when you have a bad day?
Amy
- Whose wedding were you in the first time you were a bridesmaid or a groomsmen?
The only wedding I've participated in was my own.
- What is the first thing you do in the morning?
1 - go to the bathroom. 2 - start coffee.
- What was the first concert you ever went to?
White Snake, with my friend Marty. Early high school or so.
- What was your first major surgery?
There was some kind of hernia repair when I was very little. I only remember it happened because of the scar.
- First tattoo or piercing?
One earring, while living in the motorhome, so 1999.
- First celebrity sighting?
Amy and I went to a sci-fi convention called Visions while dating the first time. I don't recall who was there. Probably somebody from Dr. Who.
- First celebrity crush/obsession?
Can't think of one. First celebrity hero figure was Carl Sagan.
