Yes, I still exist. Just filling out school district applications for next year (32 districts, average 10 handwritten pages per district), so haven't felt like writing much. Thanks, Lisse, for the idea.

Firsts:

First best friend: Ali. She lived across the street from me when I was about three.

First car: I count my first car as a 1987 Nissan Pathfinder. That was the first one I had for more than a day, at any rate.

First date: I'll call him Ben. We went to see Police Academy 4. Sheesh I'm old.

First real job: Cleaning paintbrushes at one of those paint-it-yourself ceramics shops, about ten years before they became the phenomenon they are today.

First screen name: my first name and last initial.

First self purchased album: Michael Jackson's Thriller. I had a crush on him. Never knew that I stood a chance.

First piercing/tattoo: I pierced my ears when I was nine. They got infected and I let them close. I re-pierced for my 11th birthday. First tattoo was 10 years ago (I repeat, damn I'm old!), a rose on my right ankle.

First enemy: Probably my obnoxious next door neighbor. We had these four kids next door whose parents basically let them run wild. They only had one boy, who was sort of the neighborhood bully. Unitl my brother hit him over the head with a baseball bat.

First big trip: I was told that I went to London and Paris at age 10 months. My dad once said I was spoiled when I said I didn't remember. My early childhood vacation memories all revolve around being stuck behind a draw bridge while driving to Pittsburgh.

First play/musical/performance: I was The Lady from Philadelphia in an elementary school presentation of The Petersen Papers

First band you remember hearing in your house: The Beatles. All the time.
