14 Firsts
I saw this meme on Wry's blog. Being the copy cat that I am, here are my answers:
1-First Day of School- I have seen pictures of this day but I can't really remember it. I mostly remember eating graham crackers and milk and learning the Pledge of Allegiance. Oh I also remember being really drawn to the book cases.
2-First Kiss- I was a senior in high school, I guess that makes me a late bloomer. I initiated the kiss. He looked a little surprised but at least he didn't gag or anything. After that he got back together with his old girlfriend. So it must have been a bad kiss. Ouch!
3- First Date- My first date was to a school dance where the girl asked the guy. The guy I asked was really shy and I could barely get him to say two words. It was awkward at best. He seemed uncomfortable dancing too. I loved dancing so this was a big disappointment for me. It was then I decided I wasn't going to ask anyone out who I didn't like just a little. The main reason I asked him to the dance was because he was the brother of one of my brother's friends and they were hoping I would break him out of his shyness shell. It didn't work.
4- First Car- I won't go into the make and model, that might give me away. I will say that I didn't get my first car until I was 21. I loved finally having my own car. It was great not having to ask to borrow my parent's car.
5-First Time- I was 19. I was in my first year of college and having a grand old time being out from under my parents rules. I met this guy. He was a basketball player. He was pretty damn cute and I was smitten. I was also extremely curious about sex. I had some friends who had done the deed and I was dying to know what it was like. So one night this guy and I "did it" My first reaction was "Fuck this hurts". Then it was "Ah it's not so bad". Then it was "Shit what the hell am I doing, I am supposed to be saving myself for marriage" Yes I really thought all three of those things. I must have gotten over the guilt because we did it every chance we got until the school year ended and I went back home and he went back home to North Carolina. We never saw each other again. He still has my L.L. Cool J tape. Anyway.....
6- First Break Up- I can't count the guy I lost my virginity too because technically we never broke up, we just lost touch. Actually I don't think I have ever broken up with anyone, at least not permanently. I broke up with my hubby for about a week while we were in our first month of dating. I had a "He's not mormon what am I doing" freak out. I got over that and we got back together. I thank God everyday that I came to my senses. Otherwise I might be stuck with some mormon guy. Not that they are all bad it's just most of them got on my nerves.
7- First Real Job- That would be my fast food job. I worked the cash registers and the drive-through. I had some really fun times at that job but for the most part it sucked rocks. That was where I met the first gay people I ever knew. I had so much fun with these guys. They were so nice and funny and sweet. I remember thinking "the church is sooooo wrong about gay people" So I had another chink in my church armor, the first being the racism. Fuck, I keep going way off topic. Next question!!!!
8- First Time to Lose a Job- That would also be that fast food job. They kept cutting back on my hours and for some reason they started treating my like crap so I quit with no notice except a note I left on my bosses desk saying I wouldn't be back. I had my SiL, who still worked there pick up my last check for me.
9- First Time in Love- Now that I look back I don't think it was the basketball player from college even though for a long time I thought I had loved him. I think I just liked having sex. I really do think that my hubby was the first guy I ever completely fell in love with. He seemed to think I was the most gorgeous woman on the planet and he thought I was smart. He was the first guy I ever dated that actually built me up and made me want to be a better person. I think one of the reasons my parents didn't object to him (because he wasn't LDS) was that he treated me so well. He was their new ali(crud how do you spell ali??) in getting me to like myself. I am so glad they valued my happiness over their ideas of me marrying an RM.
10- First Drink- I was 19. Boy a lot happened that year. Anyway it wasn't anything big, just a Pina Colada Bartles and James wine cooler. I thought it tasted good but I didn't drink again for about 4 years and then it was another wine cooler.
11- First Sign of a Backbone - I was in the 7th grade. I was in a science class with a girl that had been giving me a hard time since the year before. She was always really rude, snotty and just plain bitchy to me. I always took it because I wanted to be in her circle of friends so badly. Well that was in 6th grade. 7th grade was a whole new year. I had made some other friends in Jr. High and couldn't care less about those idiots from Elementary School. So back to that science class. She started in on me, making fun of my clothes. I looked at her and told her "Just shut up!" which for me was like saying "Fuck off you skanky ho bitch". She just looked shocked like I had actually said "Fuck off you skanky ho bitch". She told her best friend about it. Her best friend was in my English class, she sat right behind me. During class that day she said to me "Suzy told me that you told her to shut up" I said "Yep". The girl just smiled and said "Good for you" Hmmmm apparantly Suzy's best friend even knew that Suzy was a skanky ho bitch.
12- First Ambition- When I was a little girl I wanted to be Indiana Jones. I thought he had the coolest job. Archealogy still holds an appeal to me but nowadays the only thing I dig is snot out of my babies' noses.
13- First Realization of Mortality- Right before my 8th grade year I was looking at the local paper, reading the obituaries and I saw one for this boy that I had gone to school with since Kindergarten. He had been run over by a tractor. I was in shock for a few days. It was so surreal. Up til then the only people I thought died were old people. To see that someone so young(13) was dead shook me pretty bad. It still makes me a little teary.
14- First Online Experience- I was pretty late getting online. The first time was in late 1998. I had been married for like 2 months and had moved to where my hubby was going to Grad school. In order for us to actually see each other sometimes I went to his lab with him. While he worked I played online. I was so inexperienced that I accidentally went to several porn sites. The next thing I know my hubby is telling me that the school is cracking down on porn-looking on school computers. I thought it was my fault. Dh wisely said to me "You think you are the only one who ever went to a porn site on a school computer?" DUH!!!! I was kind of naive.
I guess that'll do it.
1-First Day of School- I have seen pictures of this day but I can't really remember it. I mostly remember eating graham crackers and milk and learning the Pledge of Allegiance. Oh I also remember being really drawn to the book cases.
2-First Kiss- I was a senior in high school, I guess that makes me a late bloomer. I initiated the kiss. He looked a little surprised but at least he didn't gag or anything. After that he got back together with his old girlfriend. So it must have been a bad kiss. Ouch!

I am so glad they valued my happiness over their ideas of me marrying an RM.
10- First Drink- I was 19. Boy a lot happened that year. Anyway it wasn't anything big, just a Pina Colada Bartles and James wine cooler. I thought it tasted good but I didn't drink again for about 4 years and then it was another wine cooler.
11- First Sign of a Backbone - I was in the 7th grade. I was in a science class with a girl that had been giving me a hard time since the year before. She was always really rude, snotty and just plain bitchy to me. I always took it because I wanted to be in her circle of friends so badly. Well that was in 6th grade. 7th grade was a whole new year. I had made some other friends in Jr. High and couldn't care less about those idiots from Elementary School. So back to that science class. She started in on me, making fun of my clothes. I looked at her and told her "Just shut up!" which for me was like saying "Fuck off you skanky ho bitch". She just looked shocked like I had actually said "Fuck off you skanky ho bitch". She told her best friend about it. Her best friend was in my English class, she sat right behind me. During class that day she said to me "Suzy told me that you told her to shut up" I said "Yep". The girl just smiled and said "Good for you" Hmmmm apparantly Suzy's best friend even knew that Suzy was a skanky ho bitch.
12- First Ambition- When I was a little girl I wanted to be Indiana Jones. I thought he had the coolest job. Archealogy still holds an appeal to me but nowadays the only thing I dig is snot out of my babies' noses.
13- First Realization of Mortality- Right before my 8th grade year I was looking at the local paper, reading the obituaries and I saw one for this boy that I had gone to school with since Kindergarten. He had been run over by a tractor. I was in shock for a few days. It was so surreal. Up til then the only people I thought died were old people. To see that someone so young(13) was dead shook me pretty bad. It still makes me a little teary.
14- First Online Experience- I was pretty late getting online. The first time was in late 1998. I had been married for like 2 months and had moved to where my hubby was going to Grad school. In order for us to actually see each other sometimes I went to his lab with him. While he worked I played online. I was so inexperienced that I accidentally went to several porn sites. The next thing I know my hubby is telling me that the school is cracking down on porn-looking on school computers. I thought it was my fault. Dh wisely said to me "You think you are the only one who ever went to a porn site on a school computer?" DUH!!!! I was kind of naive.
I guess that'll do it.
