A list of "firsts". I hope to keep adding to it.

• First word: "No!"
• First pet: A golden named Red.
• First car: '79 Chrysler Newport
• First job: helping Josh on his family's chicken farm. I was 7 and only helped because I had a mad crush on him.
• First piercing: Ears, when I was 10. I'd begged and begged to get it done.
• First foreign country visited: Australia
• First time in the prinicipal's office: I don't think I ever went, except possibly to talk to him about it when my little sister had gotten into trouble.
• First real concert: Def Leppard & Ugly Kid Joe. Heh.
• First celeb crush: Jeff from Today's Special, when I was four or five.
• First "real" kiss: age 12, and I punched him afterwards. The only time I've punched anyone. Maybe I was a little harsh with him.
• First best friend: Robin. She was a fiesty little redhead, and the most fun! She moved away in the 4th grade and we wrote each other into our very late teens. I only saw her once in all those years, and it was hilarious - we were the same height, same build, same hairstyle. We lost touch about twelve years ago.
• First cd bought: August & Everything After
• First doll: perm Barbie
• First sport played: Basketball, when in elementary school
• First halloween costume: A gypsy, I was wearing armsful of bracelets and I loved the sound of them clinking together.
• First magazine subscribed to: Jack & Jill?
• First horror movie seen: Nightmare on Elm Street during the first boy/girl party at Evelyn's house (before that, they'd been at Ginger's). I think I was around eleven.
• First cell phone: I don't even remember!
• First collection: stickers
• First instrument played: clarinet
• First career aspiration: Psychiatrist (I used to announce this to everyone, and I think that started when I was six. No, I'd never been to one, but I read a lot)
• First nickname: Freckle Faced Strawberry
• First foreign country visited : not counting Canada - Australia
