1. When was your first kiss?

Kindergarten, I kissed a Girl and we argued with the teacher.

2. When did you first start buying holiday or birthday gifts for other people and stop thinking about what people would buy for you?

Never happened.

3. When was the first time you thought of yourself not as a kid/teen, but as an adult?

As soon as I had to pay to fix the car for the first time.

4. What do you remember about the first time you drove a car?

Well I was in Maine and the first car I ever drove in my life was a Dodge Van. Fullsize and all on a small dirt road in Maine…Did I hit a tree? Almost.

5. Tell me about your first pet.

Was a little goldfish named Spot, because of its one white spot in its scales.

6. What was your first job?

Retail, dont wanna talk about it.

I would have to say my Highschool English teacher, who taught way more then just how to write an essay.

Whoa. That was what I remember.

Oh, what fun! My first kiss was on my Gotcha Day. My Mommie picked me up from the breeder and held me close. She said, “we will have so much fun together!” and she kissed me right between the ears. I usually get kisses every day now.

[...] or… uh, well, I won’t go there. Anyway, she’s got this great post titled, There’s Always a First Time. It’s a simple post. She lists 10 questions about “firsts” and then asks her blog [...]

Blair — Getting into bed should not require climbing. Also, I’d probably injure myself. I stood on a chair yesterday and felt like I was a hundred feet up. I could see myself breaking something climbing two rungs of a ladder.

Ah yes, my next place was bigger. But I was living with three filthy boys in a pig pen. It was still a considerably better living situation. I really hated having to climb a ladder to get into my bed that other year.

Blair — Hey, at least you made it a year without killing each other. Living in tiny crawl spaces sure makes you appreciate the next place you live (presumably bigger!), doesn’t it?

8. Just the one question. My first apartment was with a roommate I had met in my college dorms and we had to scramble at the last minute to find a place over a couple of days. After spending time looking at a few really horrible 1 bedroom apartments, we ended up renting a *room* in someone else’s apartment. The apartment was really nice, remodeled, and had a washer and dryer inside the unit. But the bedroom we had to share was tiny! We could barely fit two lofted beds in it with all of our worldly possessions (desk, dresser, etc) stashed underneath the beds. Our roommate also turned out to be a bit nutty. I was so happy to move out of there after a year.

Julie at Cool Mom Guide — Man, that was some kiss! See, I tried that “we won’t buy for each other” thing before, but it makes people mad. I’ve also tried suggesting we give monetary gifts to charity instead of giving Christmas gifts. That didn’t fly either. I gave up. LOL at your first driving experience. You have to look good if you’re going to have an accident! My first apt. wasn’t in a great section of town either. But it makes me appreciate what I have now more, no doubt. Best drunk pickup response ever.

aniroy1986 — I thought at first you wrote “it isn’t really necessary to grow up,” and thought “Yeah!” Oops. Oh, no. Did you have a bad pet experience once?

Frances — A cemetery??! Maybe that had something to do with it? I think I said no more sad pet stories. Now you’ve gone and made me cry. That’s terrible! Oooo! Magazine editor! I’d love that job. I adore that you signaled your future husband by flicking lights on and off. Seems you did well with your husband, despite your unusual first, ahem, experience. Thanks for visiting! Y’all come back now, ya hear!

Oh, and yes, I don't drink alcohol. That's why the first time I got drunk was also the last time it happened! Can't say I regret it, though! Frances's last blog post..I'm famous!

I found your blog through Entrecard and I love it!!! Lemme answer your questions.
1. My first kiss was a mistake. I was 15, he was the same. We were at a cemetery and then suddenly he grabbed my face and kissed me. I was so shocked and disgusted! We broke up two weeks later.
2. When I was 10, my aunt told me that holidays were for others so I always bought gifts for others. Then about a few years ago, I realized I gave more than I received and for the first time, really resented it =(
3. I knew I was an adult when I paid my first bill in my own rented apartment.
4. First time to drive? Sheer terror, thrill, exhilaration!
5. My first pet was a puppy that my older brother killed. Yes, he seriously needs help.
6. My first job was a church receptionist! I answered the phones.
7. I don’t remember her name but that teacher was a Reading and Language teacher and she said I write really well. I’m a magazine editor now.
8. The first apartment I lived in as an adult was a one-bedroom affair with a huge bathroom and tons of tiny roaches. It had two small windows that looked out to another building a few kilometers away. My future husband lived there and we would signal each other “good night” by flipping our light switches on-and-off.
9. The first time I got drunk was also the first time my future husband and I had sex! He was horrified the next day when he found out and swore he never took advantage of me. Haha!
10. Did I marry my first love? No. Thank God!

1. When was your first kiss? First real kiss at camp, 1000 islands with Mike in the pouring rain. I was so dizzy after that I crashed my bike into a bartles and james sign. I have a pic of that sign on my myspace and am still friends with my first kiss on there, too.

2. When did you first start buying holiday or birthday gifts for other people and stop thinking about what people would buy for you? I only buy for my sister, she’s just so much fun. I have a standing agreement with the world to not buy me stuff if I don’t buy them stuff.

3. When was the first time you thought of yourself not as a kid/teen, but as an adult? Pretty sure I still have those kid/teen days. I’m a Hills addict

4. What do you remember about the first time you drove a car? My sister taught me how to put makeup on and drive with my knees

5. Tell me about your first pet. I grew up on a farm. My first official pet on my own was my kitty Poopers who died on 9/11

6. What was your first job? the cookie girl at the orig cookie co

7. Who was the first teacher to make a positive impact on your life? Mr. David McPeak

8. If you’ve lived in more than one house or apartment as an adult, tell me about your first one. Super ghetto terrible part of town. I was 18 and thought I could support myself with a pet store job.

9. What was it like the first time you got drunk (assuming you remember). Southern Comfort snuck by my sisters friends and they didn’t know everyone was also sneaking. I ended up throwing up everywhere and STILL got hit on. He said I have “natural beauty” I told him he must be talking about the vomit in my hair.

10. Did you marry your first love?
I did. Then I divorced him 6 years later.

Robin — Our first wet, sloppy kiss! I think at 40, we start the aging process in reverse. You know, drooling and wearing diapers by 80. I “borrowed” the car lots of times myself. Got caught once and never did it again. Funny about the cemetery! I’m sure you’re glad no one actually did come alive. Creepy! Yikes, so did you stay in jail overnight? That sounds like great blog material. Glad you’re still friends with your ex. That’s quite an achievement.

Donna — I felt the same way about gifts. When you spend your own precious pennies for the first time, the gifts mean more. I’m fortunate to still have both my parents. I can only imagine what it would be like not to have them around at an early age. I love when a teacher tells you you can handle an advanced class. Sometimes just telling you that makes you believe it. It sounds like you made out OK with your first love. Good for all of you!

Marlene — Gotcha. That hadn’t occurred to me, but it should have.

Therapy New York — I went from teen to adult overnight when I got my first apartment. First night sleeping away from home was very odd. So have you gotten the driving thing down yet?

Anjea Ray — I’m jealous that you got to study abroad in college. What an experience to have at such a young age! What a funny name. I love that you had so many reincarnations of Shovey. Way to keep at it! Oh, that’s so great about your art teacher. I’m sure she remembers it well. I do believe a Texas summer without A/C would kill me dead. Putting one foot on the floor stops a room from spinning. Says so in the Drunk Manual.

1. When was your first kiss?

Summer after 8th grade.

2. When did you first start buying holiday or birthday gifts for other people and stop thinking about what people would buy for you?

Oh geez…college?

3. When was the first time you thought of yourself not as a kid/teen, but as an adult?

When I studied abroad my junior year of college.

4. What do you remember about the first time you drove a car?

Oh God don’t let me hit something!

5. Tell me about your first pet.
I had a goldfish name Shovey. I wasn’t particularly good at taking care of fish, so Shovey died. Then there was Shovey II, Shovey III, Shovey IV…and after Shovey VII my mom said no more. And I have no idea where I got the name Shovey from, but it was the name I picked.

6. What was your first job?
Babysitter.

7. Who was the first teacher to make a positive impact on your life?
Mrs. Baldor – she was our art teacher in grade school. I actually got to sort of return the favor, as I was asked to write up a bit about her and why she was so great for an award she received. They wanted a “student voice” presented at the award ceremony.

8. If you’ve lived in more than one house or apartment as an adult, tell me about your first one.

(Cinder blocks + unadjustable thermostat + Texas summer) – working AC = ? You do the math.

9. What was it like the first time you got drunk (assuming you remember).
“Why does the room take so much longer to catch up when I turn around fast like that?”

10. Did you marry your first love?
No
