memes for boredom pt II

again, stolen from [livejournal.com profile] yerpretty


Firsts:
First best friend: My ex-friend Betsy, by default from age 3 to age 18. Haven't heard from her since her

wedding three years ago, not even a thank you note for the gift. Grrrr....
First car: First driven, a silver 1976 Cadillac. First just mine, the car from hell. A Ford Escort hatch back

that was a former driver's ed car.
First real kiss: Jamie Ashmore in 8th grade. I still swoon over him. He's *handsome*.
First break-up: I guess the first one that counts was the guy I dated senior year of high school who I broke

up with right before prom. He semi-stalked me for a while after that.
First screen name: freakgirl
First funeral: I think my stepgrandmother when I was in sixth grade of so.
First pets: I had a cat named Fluffy when I was very little.
First piercing: Earlobes at 10, but there were issues, so again at 12. First non-ear was my navel when I was

18.
First credit card: The evil Citibank.
First true love: I don't know what my definition of true love is really.
First musicians you remember hearing in your house: Linda Ronstadt and Willie Nelson. My parents had an odd

record collection.

Lasts:
Last cigarette: I took one drag off one two weeks ago. Before that, it was a clove cigarette when I was a

flapper two years ago for Halloween and I was sooooo ill the next day.
Last car ride: On the way to work this morning.
Last kiss: Ummmmm....probably a little peck from Sambot on Sunday?
Last good cry: I don't even remember, but it was likely migraine related.
Last library book checked out: iPod, the Missing manual
Last movie seen: American Splendor
Last phone call: [livejournal.com profile] automat76 last night so we could discuss "the Lion S" (see prior entry)
Last time showered: yesterday morning
Last cd played: Rufus Wainwright's first album
Last item bought: Two pairs of beautiful shoes and a handbag last night.
Last annoyance: One pair of the beautiful shoes breaking this morning.
Last disappointment: My sister not calling me back before I was in Cleveland for Rasputina!
Last time wanting to die: I don't know, but again, probably migraine related.
Last shirt worn: I have on my puffed sleeve orange sweater right now.
Last website visited: www.fitday.com
Last word you said: "Hey there." (I probably need to get a better greeting for people in the hallway at

work.")
Last song you sang: "Deep Red Bells" by Neko Case
What is in your cd player? I haven't used it much since I got the iPod. Probably some Tori Amos though.
What color socks are you wearing?: Nude knee-highs, which I despise, but which are a necessary evil for work.
What Color underwear are you wearing?: Boring old white.
What's under your bed?: Wrapping paper and ribbons
What time did you wake up today?: Way too late: 8:20!

Currents:
Current mood: Unfocused.
Current music: Black Jack Davey -- The White Stripes
Current taste: I just ate Strawberry/Banana yogurt
Current hair: Long, kind of layered and in need of a serious color touch up because my red has faded.
Current clothes: Work stuff: Orange sweater, taupe pants, and black mary jane flats
Current annoyance(s): Loud people near me.
Current desktop picture: A panoramic of downtown Seattle, the view out of my window at Kripalu on vacation last year.
Current book(s): Two right now: Willa Cather's The Song of the Lark and Under the Banner of

Heaven
by Jon Krakauer, which is about Mormonism and is fascinating. Oh, and Writing Algorithms in C++

Pseudocode
for class. Next is The DaVinci Code for book club, which I'm not looking forward to.

Somewhere in there I need to fit in Catch 22 for [livejournal.com profile] a_book_a_month also.
Current color of toenails: Plain, but I plan to paint them bright freakin' pink soon for sandal season.
Current time-wasting wish: Time off!
Current hate: Boredom.
