apollaBecause I have nothing to do as such before going to see BOB DYLAN...
While watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom from my shiny new box set from my ever-bountiful dad, I shall bestow upon you this:
Baby Stuff
First word: No idea. Possibly 'Beatles'.
First memory: There are a few snatches of memory, but the most infamous is the me pouring TCP on a bee after stepping on said bee. Long story.
First steps: Not sure.
First solid food: No idea.
First book parents read to you: The thing I find strange is that some people might actually know the answers to some of these.
First book read: No idea.
Travel & Residence
First house: I know this one! 36 Gunton Road, London E5. Victorian house with many sets of stairs here and there. Moved when I was three to sunny, leafy Hertfordshire.
First overnight stay away from parents: Well, the first time was going to stay with my gran in Greenwich (S. London) a little while before going on my very first Brownie Pack Holiday. Was fun. She made me pickle sandwiches and we went tosee the Cutty Sark.
First time living away from parents: University, 2000-present. Is odd really that I see the pros and cons of both sides. I do like the being able to just do whatever the fuck I like whenever I like of being on my own. At home I get laundry and washing up done for me though. :D
First apartment or house after parents: I've been very lucky in that I've been able to get university residences each year. I'd be no good with bills and stuff.
First visit to another country: Oh, must've been the first day trips to France we went on when I was six or seven, maybe younger. Dover-Bolougne (sp?) for a day a couple of times. Also Mallorca when I was about the same age for holidays.
First visit to another time zone: France is different to us by one hour you know.
First time crossing an ocean: Well, I don't know that the Mallorca bit counts, although I think it does. If not, going to NYC March 2000.
First time crossing the equator: Hasn't happened yet.
Romance
First crush: Jason Donovan, the Aussie pop star, when I was seven years old. Enough time has now elapsed for me to look back with fond amusement and remembrance rather than sickening disgust with myself. A fucking pop star!
First REAL crush: Same as above, really. Felt real enough at the time.
First time asking someone out: I wouldn't demean myself! *laughs*
First date: Snerk.
First steady boy/girlfriend: Uber-snerk
First kiss: Snerky-snerk snerk.
First blow job (giving or receiving): Hahahahaha.
First time having sex: Hahahahahaha.
as you may be able to tell, I decided a long time ago that I much preferred being on my own to anything else. That still holds.
Technology
First computer: Ha! We had an Amstrad when I was a kid, with a cassette drive that took 45mins or so to load the Postman Pat and Thomas the Tank Engine games. I did learn to type on it though.
First computer game played: Whatever shit came with the Amstrad before getting PP and Thomas.
First programming language learned:None my dears. HTML far too complicated for me!
First time on Internet: Must've been around 1999 when we got it at home, or perhaps briefly before that at school- but British schools have been notoriously slow when embracing technology.
First screen name: Apollonia.
First netfriend: There was an Italian girl who was on the NME chatroom but it only lasted about two days! Then there were some people on the Buffy list I was on, but no real good friends until the last year or so. *hearts all*
Naughtiness
First taste of alcohol: When I was very litte *laughs* I think my granddad may have laced my milk to get me to sleep at one point (or it may have been my brother). But my mum & dad let us drink a smidge of wine since I was about five or six or so. My dad also used to make me martini and lemonade (with barely enough martini for flavour, don't worry). See, because it was never an issue, I never had to go out when I was 14 and get pissed on Special Brew.
First full alcoholic drink: See above.
First time drunk: I don't drink much, but I am Irish and it takes more than a glass of Guinness to get me pissed.
First night you don't remember (due to drunkenness): Haven't got to that point.
First drunken hook-up: *echoes Zorb* Once more, with feeling.
First illegal drug tried: None, my darlings. Pure as the driven snow. IM me for the Full Clare Drug Lecture, examples including but not limited to Jim Morrison's death, John Lennon's infertility, Jimmy Page's strutting around as a Stormtrooper.
First time gambling: Dunno.
Creativity
First story written: There have been many. The first real story I remember writing but not for school was the story of Dannii or something like that on the bloody Amstrad.
First novel-length story: See above. Was her secret diary in the end and stuff.
First play acted in: Stuff at school..
First musical instrument learned: My dad tried to teach me the spoons. Started learning the violin at school when I was seven.
First song/instrumental written: No idea. There have been a few. Me and Rich used to have a thing of making up new words to existing songs, usually in a parodic fashion.
First poem written: Im' sure it was some old bollocks for school to do with seasons.
First piece of artwork: Some crap, surely done with the aid of non-toxic paint, potato shapes and sugar paper, etc etc
