...so i can't effing fall asleep! Here's a survey:
1. Who was your first prom date?
First, last, and only: Becky Carlson, who i found on MySpace a few weeks ago, and i've been meaning to send an e-mail to... but i'm always putting it off. She's married now!
2. Who was your first roommate?
His name was Alex, and i feel bad that i can't remember his last name.
3. What alcoholic beverage did you drink when you got drunk the first time?
Red wine.
4. What was your first job?
I worked as an assistant summer janitor at Maybrook Elementary School. The job was great- half the time, me and the other kid I worked with were given some token task to complete in a day, when in fact said task could be done in around an hour and a half. We'd take our sweet time with it, slack off... it was wonderful.
5. What was your first car?
I've yet to have a car.
6. When did you go to your first funeral?
The first funeral i remember was for my grandfather. My grandparents lived in the Bronx, but Grandpa was buried somewhere that was like 2 hours away. We ended up driving to the burial plot with one of my grandmother's friends, and she was wearing really bad perfume. I ended up throwing up all the Hershey Kisses she had given me. I also had a Cabbage Patch Kids coloring book.
7. How old were you when you first moved away from your hometown?
We moved upstate when i was either 4 or 5.
8. Who was your first grade teacher?
Mrs. Bauer. She later moved from 1st grade to 5th grade, and Melissa is/was her favorite student ever.
9. Where did you go on your first airplane ride?
Las Vegas, Nevada. I was like 11 years old, and i went out BY MYSELF to visit my friend Justin Gasperini. The movie on the flight totally totally sucked (it featured Gene Hackman as a lawyer who was battling... HIS OWN DAUGHTER, who was also a lawyer).
10. When you snuck out of your house for the first time, who was it with & to where?
It was probably sometime in middle school, to hang out with the degenerates who lived up in the development.

The answer's the same even if we are or are not counting college: Fredonia, New York.

Melissa. She's the only person i call anymore.

15. What is the first thing you do in the morning?
Honestly? Pick my nose.
16. What was the first concert you attended?
Lee Greenwood, the singer/songwriter who brought you the patriotic "Proud to be an American." He played the Dutchess County Fair while we were there. It was during the Gulf War and i bet you that Lee was pulling in more cash at that point then he ever had or ever would in his life.
17. First tattoo or piercing?
Pass.
18. First celebrity crush?
I had a weird weird WEIRD thing for Rainbow Brite when i was like 5... but not Rainbow Brite the cartoon, Rainbow Brite the gigantic-headed creepy costume from
Rainbow Brite's San Diego Zoo Adventure. This probably explains every problem I've ever had in my entire life.
19. First crush?
I had it bad for Shannon Quist when i was in elementary school. We were the two smartest kids in my grade at Maybrook.
20. First broken bone?
I don't think i've ever had a broken bone, but i had a fractured nose in 7th grade. Jonathan Salgato threw me up against the gym wall and i landed face first.
