First car: 83 Chevy Citation

First date: Don't really remember

First real job: McDonalds

First screen name: Don't remember

First self purchased album: I think it was some compilation of music called "Power" something. It was on 8-track. I remember it contained the tracks "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" by The Police, "Rapture" by Blondie, "Super Freak" by Rick James, and "I Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon. It didn't contain anything by Sister Sledge.

First funeral: Hmm. Grammy, my great grandmother, I think. I remember I was too young to go to Nanny's (my maternal grandmother).

First pets: Spike was my first cat, and Nosey was my first (and only) dog. I can't recall if hermit crabs preceded them or not.

First piercing/tattoo: None

First credit card: JC Penney. I used it to buy Susan's engagement ring.

(There's a bunch in the Get More Here section.)
