first and last
Charlotte tagged me . . . so here it is:---------
First memory... i might have been living in tennessee when i remember this (so i was younger than 3). we were driving in a car and it was raining really hard outside and i remember turning a corner or something and water started to come into the car! i freaked out because i thought we were gonna drown or something, but we must have just drove through a nasty mud puddle. it really rains in tennessee.
if that isn't my first memory, then it is the one when i was in a dark(ish) room taking a nap on a really big bed and my big sister comes in bringing me a new doll. i think she and i had been given matching dolls and we were so excited.
First kiss... ok . . . here goes. honestly? this guy. i don't know if he knows he was my first. but i was like 16 i think. and i think we were on my front porch and he was about to go home and he leaned down and kissed me real quick like and left. thanks friend for being my first kiss!
First concert attended...this is embarrassing, but i think my mom's friend took me to see twila paris at the state fair one time . . . the first concert i chose to go to on my own (my mom did not approve) was the oc supertones, audio adrenaline and jennifer knapp. since then, my music tastes have changed dramatically. but the thing about that concert was that i was there with a current boyfriend and little did i know but my next two boyfriends were also at this show and i hadn't even met them yet. one of them is now my husband!
First love... his name was chris. he was and is still amazing. i saw him this weekend at a wedding. i seriously almost threw up the entire drive to the wedding because i knew i would have to see him. i was so nervous. he's getting along nicely, thank you.
First thing you think in the morning... "already?!"
First book you remember loving... uuuhhhh . . . maybe "zeek the caterpillar" or the "narnia" or "little house on the prarie" books that my mom read to us at night.
First pet... her name is Shanie. she is a big black lab. she is very old. 14 years i think. in people years. she'll probably die soon and i will be sad . . .
First question you'll ask in Heaven (If that's allowed)... which way to the room where you get to reconnect with all your friends and loved ones that died before you did?
First place you think of when you hear the word vacation... ASHLAND oregon! i wanna go there soooo bad! hooray for the shakespeare festival!
First best friend... her name was sara and she had these really loooong braids that hung down her back that i loved to play with.
Last time you dressed up... saturday for the wedding. i had to look hot if i was going to run into chris huh? and boy did i look hot!
Last thing you ate... tapioca pudding and a piece of dove chocolate. i don't care much for tapioca i think. what are those little bead thingies anyway?
Last CD bought... umm . . . i can't remember really. maybe it was howie day or the new ben folds or something. it has been awhile since my latest cd purchase.
Last time you cried...saturday. i was exhausted from the wedding and i had been driving around the airport trying to find a place to pick up my husband (who was flying back in from alaska) and he called me saying he was stuck in seattle and wouldn't be in for 2 more hours and i just lost it for a little bit. end of the rope you see.
Last time you told someone you loved them...today on the phone when my husband called me at work to ask me a question.
Last really fun thing you did...i went to edgefield mcmenamin's with my husband for our one year anniversary. we got massages and ate way too much food and went to the japanese gardens and sat and journaled. we ate at portland city grill (30 floors up! great view of pdx!) and i had sushi--yum! that was really fun . . . i'm glad we went.
Last thing you watched on T.V...do movies count? i saw "adaptation" on friday night. i didn't really like it much. it started out well, philosophical comedy, and ended strangely, tragic, horrific, dramatic, i'm gonna kill you, kind of stuff. odd.
Last Halloween costume...i wore this "renaissance" dress (think drew barrymore in "ever after") at work when all the kids came trick or treating through the offices. then i took it off. i made it myself though. kudos to me.
Last Concert attended...the decemberists and the violent femmes on the 12th of august. it was great fun and would have been better if i had actually gotten to see the entire femmes show. next concert: james taylor on friday!
Last time you had a really moving spiritual experience... lord, who knows. i haven't had one that moved me in a long time. i have had some great conversations on various blogs nd with my husband lately. and i just finished reading "blue like jazz" that really gave me hope for the future of christian spirituality . . . they aren't all fundamentalists out there!
