I figured, “why not?”… so, here I am jumping on the bandwagon, trying to be like the cool kids 😉
1. What was your first job? In junior high I worked at a grocery store as a “porter”. That’s a nice way of saying I got to clean up the store. Sweep the floors (and grocery stores have a lot of floor), empty the trash cans, clean the bathrooms, wipe display cases… Plus, any time they called “wet cleanup in aisle 9” over the PA, I was the one heading to aisle 9 with a mop and bucket. And it was almost always aisle 9 — that’s where the little jars of baby food were. Nice mushy combination of glass and baby food. Still think of that as the worst job I ever had.. ‘spose it could’ve been worse though.
2. How old were you when you had your first kiss? … uh, no comment .. heh
it’s a secret, not telling 🙂
3. What was your first car? What happened to it? The first car I drove was a 1985 Oldsmobile Delta Royale (or Delta 88 or something). It was a great gray whale of a car: 8 cylinders, 4 doors, giant bench seats, crappy crackly radio/cassette deck, and a ceiling with loose fabric cause someone put their hands all over it .. hehe. But it was a great car .. which is to say it was a useable means of transportation. It was also a conversation piece. (“Dang, you’re car is huge!” “So … does the rudder ever go out on this thing?”)
It died of extreme old age (about 14). Specifically, the austomatic transmission was slipping and generally not doing its job (i.e., allowing to car to accelerate to a decent speed). Of course, I found this out driving home from College Station to Dallas one weekend. It never left Dallas after that.
4. What was your first concert? Live. 1994 or 5 or something .. I probably still have the ticket stub somewhere. I went because I all my friends were going and it was summertime and I was bored .. I didn’t particulary like Live (didn’t hate either though). Opening acts were PJ Harvey and Veruca Salt and I think I enjoyed those a bit more .. the whole thing was fun though.
5. How do you plan to spend your weekend? hmmm … go to a concert (heh, what a coincidence) to hear my brother sing … see a movie (The Royal Tenenbaums looks good, or A Beautiful Mind, or The Majestic)
