Memory Lane Meme. Or: Nicola has nothing else to blog about.

1. Who was your first love?
The first boy I fell in love with was Lee Everett, when I was 15. It was all very tragic, because he had no interest in me whatsoever. But I fell hard for that boy.
The first one to love me back was Chris Liddiard. We were 17 and about to spend two years fucking up eachother's lives.

2. Who was your first kiss and when?
Patrick Fleming. It was a spin-the-bottle kiss at a friend's Hallowe'en party when we were 12, but it went on for a little longer than my friends deemed necessary. They actually pulled us apart.

3. Who was your first prom date?
I've never been to a prom. Our school didn't do them. I sort of had a date to a school disco when I was 10... his name was Ben Uphill and he was my next door neighbour's cousin. I remember not fancying him at all until I saw him with his hair spiked up.

4. Who was your first roommate?
My brother? *laughs* I shared a bedroom with Jack until Samuel was old enough to sleep in a 'big bed'. I think I was about 7 when I got my own room.

5. What was your first job?
I delivered newspapers for the Reading Evening Post, in exchange for £14 a week.

6. What was your first car?
I've never driven a car.

7. When did you go to your first funeral?
One of the Young Leaders at my Girl Guide pack died of Cystic Fibrosis when I was 13. We all went to her funeral in our uniforms, and I still have the order of service in a box somewhere.

9. How old were you when you first moved away from your hometown?
I was 4 years old when my Dad moved us across the country to Bristol, because he got a job there. We moved back five years later.

10. Who was your first grade teacher?
I'm assuming by first grade you mean Year One? I had Mrs Scanlan, and I thought she was the most beautiful teacher I'd ever met.

11. Where did you go on your first ride on an airplane?
When I went to Germany on a school exchange, aged 13.

13. Where did you go for your first date and who was it with?
People don't really 'date' over here so much. The first date I remember going on that was more datelike than anything else, was with Simon Skellon when I was 19. We went to see Phantom Of The Opera in the cinema, and then for dinner at a restaurant called Chilli's.

14. When you snuck out of your house for the first time, who was it with?
I've never snuck out of my house. I never had to.

15. Who was your first best friend and are you still friends with them?
Sammi McGrath and Elli Ford were my first best friends. I looked up Sammi on Facebook recently and she's totally different (and not really that likeable) now, and I haven't heard from Elli since I moved back to Reading 12 years ago.

16. Who was the first person to send you flowers?
Chris Liddiard. I was really sick once when we were going out, and I'd previously moaned that he never did anything thoughtful like, say, buying me flowers.

17. Where did you live the first time you moved out of your parents house?
I haven't.

18. Who is the first person you call when you have a bad day?
Tom or Charlie... they're my favourites.

19. Who's wedding were you in the first time you were a bridesmaid or a groomsmen?
My parents got married when I was 11, and I wore a red dress with gold buttons down the front. I was my mother's only bridesmaid.

20. What is the first thing you do in the morning?
Check what time it is, work out if I can sleep a bit more, and wonder whether Tom'll be online if I turn my PC on...

I am sooooooooo glad I never had to share a room with my brothers. That would have driven me nutzoid!

I used to have to share with my pyscho sister that used to try and smother me with a pillow so she could be an only child.

You've never driven a car, Twisty? You have to come here. You can drive mine!

Deej, it wasn't so bad sharing with my brother. We're pretty similar and we got on really well when we were kids and hadn't noticed the difference in gender yet.

You sure that's a good idea, Slayer? I've never even had a driving lesson... :P

Twist - 8:27 AM - March 10, 2009

I would teach you how to drive. It isn't hard. You'll have road rage in no time, just like the rest of us.....
