getting serious about having fun

[saffronhare]

Gleefully stolen from fionnabhar


Firsts:
[First job]: babysitting

[First payroll job]: clerking at the NATO motor pool

[First screen name]: Saffron Hare

[First funeral]: My maternal grandfather, when I was about 2 years old. They had him laid out on the dining room table, about 6 feet from the buffet, for his wake. We Irish take these things pretty seriously.

[First pet]: The first one I remember was a cocker spaniel named Dora. She was a "one person dog," and none of us were that person.

[First piercing]: Ears, age 7 (against parental wishes, on my birthday, with paternal grandmother). I now realize she indulged me because she wanted to undermine my mother's authority.

[First tattoo]: don't have one.

[First credit card]: JC Penney, in college (paid off and closed perhaps ten years ago now)

[First kiss]: Wesley (Wes) Fleming, winter of 5th grade. The only real successful relatioship I've really ever had with a blonde.

[First enemy]: Leslie Schaeffer. Can't even remember why, other than that we just instantly disliked each other.

[First favorite musician]: Shaun Cassidy. I got to go to a concert of his for my 10th birthday (that was a big year, between Shaun and kissing Wesley and getting my period). It was one of the handful of concerts I've ever been to.

Lasts:

[Last car ride]: To work this morning, when hubby drove me.

[Last kiss]: This morning, from the Coatl.

[Last movie watched]: Christ, I can't remember. That's so pathetic.

[Last beverage drank]: Water

[Last phone call]: From my boss, informing me that my department gets to move to our new offices (same building, different spots) on Friday.

[Last time showered]: this morning

[Lesson learned]: blood is powerful stuff

[Single or Taken]: taken

[Birthday]: June 26, 1969

[Sign]: Cancer
[Siblings]: 1 brother (4 years younger)

[Eye color]: greenish grey
[Shoe size]: 7 1/2, generally
