Firsts, Lasts and stuff

A bunch of firsts:

First Best Friend: Julianna in Kindergarden. We were going to go to NYC and be ballerinas. Our favorite color: Pink, of course!
First Kiss: In a dark auditorium my senior year of high school. Started a doomed quasi-relationship with a guy who was “dating” 5 other girls.
First Screen Name: The city where I lived, my gender, and my age at the time. First Pet: Two goldfish, Guitar and Vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaner ate all the food so Guitar died first. They lasted less than six mos., I’m thinking.
First Piercing: Ears at 13 at a booth at Tysons’s Corner Mall. First Crush: Troy Zepeda. I was in 3rd grade, he was in 6th? I almost disowned my best friend when she ratted me out—I found out the day before she moved to China. I watched a black and white movie on TV and heard John Lennon’s Imagine that day. I have since always hated that song.
First CD: The Chieftains Bells of Dublin. Purchased for me by a friend who thought I owned a CD player.
First Car: Maroon Lancer. I totaled it within a month, right after discovering I’d have to replace the radiator.

7 Lasts.

Last Alcoholic Beverage: cherry soda and rum.
Last Car Ride: today, to work, weaving in and out of traffic to make it to work by one pm.
Last Kiss: Do I have to answer that?
Last Movie Seen: Narnia: the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe: ADORED IT!!!
Last Phone Call: From another library, wondering if we had a particular book. No, it hasn’t been out since last summer, so we think it’s missing.
Last CD Played: Dive 3, a CD of worship music by the chapel at Hope College, where my brother graduated from last year.
