  • Firsts

    I refuse to tag people - but left the instructions if you want to follow-on... 

    Once you have been tagged, you are supposed to delete the other person’s Firsts and add your own.. At the end, chose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If you were tagged, it’s because I want to know more about you.

    1. Who was your FIRST prom date? I chose not to go to prom, but the my date would have been my brother's friend from college - Sorry, Patty!

    2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love? Hmm, I don't even know how to define my first love, let alone whether I talk to her.  I'll just safely assume no.

    3. What was your FIRST job?  According my taxes, it's when I joined the Army.  Under the table, I worked as a janitor for a church and tutored kids.

    4. What was your FIRST car?  1999 Hyundai Sonata

    5. Who was the FIRST person to text you today?  A friend from school.

    6. Who is the FIRST person you thought of this morning? Jesus.  Really.  Ok, fine.  Not really.  It wasn't Jesus.

    7. Who was your FIRST grade teacher? I can't remember.  I just remember that she was one of the two Korean teachers at Hibbard Elementary, and she was the one who wasn't doing the ESL class.  Sad that I forget.

    8. Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane? It was when I moved from Korea to the states, so my first ride would have been to Chicago.

    9. Who was your FIRST kiss? I was four, and disturbingly good at convincing the girls my age to do what I wanted them to do.  Dang, I was a pretty shady kid.

    10. Where was your FIRST sleepover?  My guess is Richie's or Danny's.

    11. Who was the FIRST person you talked to today? My mother.

    12. Whose wedding were you in the FIRST time?  Liz and Jack's

    13. What was the FIRST thing you did this morning? Look at myself in the bathroom mirror and decide that I needed some more sleep.

    14. What was the FIRST concert you ever went to?  Dang - probably some Korean cultural thing held at church.  All I remember is that it was some woman's choir from Korea and they were dressed in hanbok's.

    15. FIRST tattoo? Don't have one, but if I did it would either have been a cross on my left shoulder or Philippians 1:21 written across my back in Greek.  Or a small American flag.

    16. First piercing? None.  Unless you count that one time in junior high when I got somehow jabbed a piece of pencil lead through the skin next to my fingernal.

    17. First foreign country you’ve been to? Was born in Korea, so the US?  But that shouldn't count, so Canada?  Eh?

    18. FIRST movie you remember seeing in the theater? Dang, I don't remember which film it was but I know it was when I was in Chicago and that it definitely wasn't "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" because they were showing that movie in the next screen over, and I remember being severely disappointed that we weren't going to watch that.

    19. When was your FIRST detention? Fourth grade?  Maybe fifth or sixth?  All I remember is that I was at Covina Elementary and it was the first time I'd ever been treated as one of the "bad" kids.

    20. What was the first state you lived in? Illinois.  And I still remember how to spell it.

    21. Who was your FIRST roommate? Other than my brother, Sam...  Eugene was my first roommate in college.  Unless you count the fifty other roommates I had when I was in Basic Training.

    22. If you had one wish, what would it be?  I'm keeping that off the internet.

    23. What is something you would learn if you had the chance? I always wanted to learn American sign language.

    Random Tags.  If  you got tagged, tag me back when/if you do this.

    Hey, that's pretty cool. Learned a lot about you.
    "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was definitely not my first movie theater experience. **sigh** Ya make me feel old, Shawn!!

    @licoreen - What's sad is that I'm sure there are some people who're going to read this and have NO idea what "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was about.  And in my defense, and to make you feel less old, my family was never really a movie-theater kind of family.  My folks always preferred renting video tapes and even that trip to the movies was special because it was on one of those sleepovers (with Richie's family) that we even got to go to the theater.

    Mrs. Chung probably was your teacher, or perhaps Mrs. Keller.


    Odd that I don't remember that movie either. Maybe Short Circuit 2?
  • w84meplease

    @heebeegeebees - No...  Mrs. Chung switched classes with Mrs. Keller!  Mrs. Chung went from teaching first grade to the ESL class.  So you and I had the same teachers, but they taught the opposite classes.  My first grade teacher was Mrs. Keller!  Such a non-Korean name, but yeah.


    And I think Short Circuit 2 was on video at their house.  We may have seen it in the theaters, but I'm fairly certain they had it on video cause I remember watching it more than once.
