pointlessness!

Firsts:

First car: a navy blue jeep cherokee that was 12 years old when my grandma and grandpa drove it from wyoming to give it to me for my 16th birthday. it went to car heaven last year. it had a push-button radio, vinyl navy blue seats and no air conditioning. i kind of loved it.

First date: with derek leroux, who was three years older than me when i met him at my first real job (see below). he had a ponytail, drove an old corvette and was seriously into van halen. i was about to be a sophomore in high school, wore purple jelly shoes, and had yet to kiss a boy. i think the reason our summer fling ended was because he eventually realized i would never have sex with him.

First real job: i was a "court manager" at cardinal hill swim and tennis club, every summer from eighth grade until my senior year of high school. this meant i swept up the tennis courts, replaced the water coolers twice a day, and sold the occasional can of tennis balls. all when i wasn't leading the cardinal hill tennis team to regional victories. or avoiding hands-on serving advice from the tennis pro. ew.

First screen name: pablohoney. first, and last. i got it when i was 15 and my uncle had just set my family up with internet. i had recently become obsessed with radiohead, and it was between pablohoney or nicedream or the13ends. i'm glad i went with this one. but i can't tell you how many times i've gotten IMs from people asking me how i got the screen name or if i'm thom yorke.

First self purchased album: i had all the classics: nkotb, tiffany, debbie gibson. but the first time i used my own money and went out to buy my own album was when i bought the bends.

First piercing/tattoo: boring. ears, 5th grade. now i have seven holes in my ears. and no plans for any more. no tats. big surprise.

First enemy: probably my brother. we used to have epic, epic fights. he once chased me throughout the entire neighborhood with a tennis racket. and once with a hockey stick. he used to call me buttface, and i called him rabbit teeth, and we hated each other with a fiery passion. of course, now i adore him. same goes for my little sister.

First play/musical/performance: starring role as chicken little in nursery school. i'm not destined to be in theather, though. in high school, i once tried out for "the sound of music" just because i love it so much, and i sang "doe a deer" and forgot the words. scarring. needless to say, i didn't even make the chorus.

Lasts

Last big car ride: gosh, i don't know. i don't do road trips anymore, really, which is sad. i'd like to get back into the road trip thing. road trip, anyone?

Last kiss: this a.m., with 'halitosis' tommy. just kidding. (not.)

Last library book checked out: waiting for the barbarians and turgenev's fathers and sons (because ever since i read william trevor's two lives [two books split into my house in umbria and reading turgenev] i've wanted to, well, read turgenev).

Last movie seen: spellbound, the other night. loved it. i fell in love with all the girls because they were so smart and mature and articulate and reasonable. they will all grow up to be huge famous geniuses.

Last beverage drank: acqua. bottled, non-lead coated.

Last food consumed: veggie thin-crust pizza from alberto's on p street.

Last TV show watched: the sopranos. tommy got it from the internet and jon and charles and we watched it last night. it was a pretty good first episode. i think james gandolfini scares the shit out of me.

Last time showered: try as i might, i can't make an interesting answer out of this. this morning.

Last cd played: on my dear ipod, the meadowlands - the wrens. on my stereo, brighten the corners.

Last soda drank: diet coke.

Last ice cream eaten: half a pint of something from ben&jerry's. hey, i've got a 10k sunday morning. i've got to keep my fat content up.

the rest of the questions are, if possible, even more pointless, so i shall stop the drivel. excuse me.
