firsts and lasts survey

First kiss:
Fourth grade, with my "boyfriend" Brian, my brother's friend who lived near the paddock where we kept our horses. It was a little peck, very quick, very embarrassing.

First real kiss:
Ninth grade, with my first serious boyfriend, Randy.

First job:
I just did a long post about this sort of thing; first job was working in the church nursery as a preteen.

First screen name:
rachelellen (good old WBS chat!)

First self purchased album:
Def Leppard, "Hysteria"

First funeral:
My grandfather's, when I was in sixth grade

First pets:
A little black dog named Tipper and a slightly larger, shaggy black dog named Belle

First piercing:
Ears, age 6

First true love:
Probably Randy, ninth grade. Although that's stretching "true love" quite a bit -- but we were very emotional about each other and stayed boyfriend and girlfriend for a year and a half. What we had pales in comparison to real adult love, and we were way too immature for a relationship really.

First big trip:
Nine states in two weeks, summer before ninth grade.

First musician you remember hearing in your house:
I was going to say Roger Whittaker but I think I have memories of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, etc., from before that.

Last big car ride:
How big is "big"? It's about four or five hours to Morro Bay, and we did that last summer. Five hours to LA, did that three and a half years ago. Twelve hours to Washington, did that four and a half years ago.

Last kiss:
This morning as T was leaving for work.

Last good cry:
about a week and a half ago.

Last movie seen:
"The Princess Bride", a few evenings ago

Last beverage drunk:
milk on my cereal (about to remedy that one also, with a yummy Diet COke)

Last food consumed:
Crispix (it's crispy times two!)

Last phone call:
T just called me right before I started typing this.

Last TV show watched:
Don't watch TV. Probably the last one we watched was the Super Bowl. Oh, wait, we plugged in the antenna for war coverage too, so Evening News with Dan Rather, last March.

Last shoes worn:
black canvas shoes, $4 at Wal-Mart

Last CD played:
Evanescence, "Fallen"

Last item bought:
holy cow, we just did a ton of Christmas shopping. I don't remember what the last thing was. Oh, wait! I went grocery shopping yesterday, and the last thing I put in the cart was a 12-pack of diet Coke.

Last disappointment:
I'm trying to help a friend of mine figure out how to do a Make A Wish trip for her son and we found out that part of it probably isn't going to be able to happen.

Last soda drunk:
Diet Coke, Diet Coke, Diet Coke (sung to the tune of "Let it Snow")

Last ice cream eaten:
Generic peanut-butter cup, about two weeks ago

Last shirt worn:
I have one on right now, my uber-comfortable baseball-jersey-style sweatshirt, heather-navy with navy sleeves, about three sizes too big for me, so so cozy.
