1. Who was your first prom date?
Kimberly Gillette, the only girl I dated in high school, from the middle of my junior year to just after graduation.
2. Who was your first roommate?
Don't remember his name, 6' 4"+ ten gallon hat, blond haired, Texan, offensive line football player that did not appreciate my geekness. We only roomed together first semester and then I moved in with a stalker (didn't know that at the time).
3. What alcoholic beverage did you first drink?
Guinness, at my bachelor party.
4. What was your first job?
Paper route (only job I got fired from), self employed lawn mower (several neighbors and a small apartment complex). My first real job was a carpenter's assistant for a local contractor, worked for them for 4 summer and one semester I took off from college. Went from being a gopher the first summer to the last summer I worked from them doing every thing on a house (my 7th grade science teachers house at the other end of the block I presently live on) construction from pouring gravel around the footer to trimming closet doors.
5. What was your first car?
A 1985 metallic flake forest green AMC Jeep CJ-7, straight-six, 5 speed, 2W, 4W and 4W-low. Damn I did some stupid things (ie had alot of fun) in that jeep. I had it on two wheels more times and more combinations than I care to remember. I bent a rim so bad that when I got new tires it took a pound of lead on the inside rim to sort of balance that rim, it went on the spare rack. One day after school I manage to get 13 people, a tenor and baritone sax. Question 7 happen there. I kept a tow strap, chain, and tools in it all the time to rescue a lady motorist. I even manage to pull on lady out of ditch one winter with it didn't get her number. I chased a gold jeep and a red jeep around town two different summers working for the carpenters and never did get the phone number of them either. Finally had to get rid of it when the body was so rusted out you couldn't put anything on the floor or it would end up on the road.
6. When did you go to your first funeral?
I'm sure I was to one earlier in life but the first one I really remember was my Grandmother (father side) my junior year in high school
7. First Kiss?
See question 1.
8. Who was your first grade teacher?

9. Where did you go on your first ride on an airplane?
To about 3500ft and then I jump out of it!
10. When you snuck out of your house for the first time, who was it with?
Never really had to. I never had a curfew and pretty much came and went as I wanted. I did have to sneak in a few times but that was because I forgot my key and I had a trick for climbing up the back porch and onto the flat roof and then in the door off that roof. I had "fix" that door to let me in without a key.
11. Who was your first best friend and are you still friends with them?
It was junior high, don't remember his name so obviously we lost contact.
12. Where was your first sleepover?
I was a Boy Scout from age 11 on and I camped at least one weekend every month for years. Lots of sleep overs out in the woods.
13. Who is the first person you call when you have a bad day?
I wait until gfwtr comes home. I hate talking on the phone when I can avoid it and especially when emotions are involved.
14. Whose wedding were you in the first time?
The only wedding I have been in was best man in my little brother's wedding about two years before my own wedding that he was best man in.
15. What is the first thing you do in the morning?
Take synthroid, damn self-destructing thyroid.
16. What was the first concert you ever went to?
Genesis, we can't dance tour, at the old municipal stadium downtown Cleveland. I took the girl from question 1. a year after we had broke up, the friend that was suppose to go had to back out.
17. First tattoo or piercing?
No desire for piercing, and can't think of anything I want permanently written on my skin. I do wish I could sometime have a tattoo of a hand across my face. Pinkie across the upper lip, thumb just under right ear, the remaining three finger bracketing and across the right eye. I don't know why just thought it would look cool sometimes.
18. First celebrity crush?
Leah Brahms played by Susan Gibney, not really a celebrity crush but a character crush. Geordi was always my favorite TNG character and I could very much seem myself in his shoes in the episode where he falls for the hologram representation of Leah. I was also equal crushed when in a later episode he meet Leah for real and learned she was already married.
19. First crush?
Erin, I don't remember her last name. I never got a date with her in high school but managed to get a date with her after transferring from Arkansas to CWRU. I ran into her Christmas shopping and got her number, the date sort of sucked.
20. First case of chicken pox?
First or Second grade don't remember much about it.
21. First time you smoked a cig?
First cigarette was one year ~15 years old at boy scout summer camp. I didn't really get into smoking until college when I got into cigar and pipe smoking. Still don't smoke very often but every once in awhile I like to sit out on the front porch and smoke a good cigar or my pipe and read a good book.
