A to Z the first things in my life

Apartment - Well, when I went away for college I lived in a condo at first with a woman who was 24. I was 18 and at the time, I thought 24 was sooooooo old. I'm 27 now.

Best Friend - Andrea. We met when we were 4 years old. Since then, I've developed additional "best friends" that include Shelby and Stacie and of course, my fiance Brent.

Car - The first one that was mine? It would be the Datsun my parents bought from their friend for $1. He wanted to give it to my parents, but my parents insisted on paying something for it. Strange, I know.

Date - I saw Disney's movie, "Beauty and the Beast" with a guy named Jeff. He was 19, I was 14. He had to hang out with my parents more than me for a few months before they let him take me out on a date. And then we had to double with his younger brother. We went to an Italian restaurant where my date had accidentally dressed identical to the waiters. We kept teasing him to "get back to work" and for a minute there the staff thought he might have been one of theirs. There wasn't a second date. We just hung out as friends after that.

Enemy - There was a really mean girl in elementary school named Janey. She was so mean that people pretended to be her friend so she wouldn't be mean to them. I hated her and had visions of kicking the crap out of her, but never did it because I was a very good girl.

Funeral - The father of one of my parent's friends. I think I was 12.

Gamble - Putting myself through college.

Heartbreak - Probably my high school sweetheart, Ryan. We dated for 3 1/2 years and broke up when I went to college.

Intoxication - My senior year in high school while visiting Ryan at college. (He was a year older).
Job - Not including baby-sitting, I'd have to say the awesome shaved ice stand that Shelby and I worked at when we were sophomores in high school. It was the best job ever! We were outside, flirted with cute bag boys from the nearby supermarket, slipped free shaved ice to the homeless (ok - Shelby did that) and watched a track coach chase down a guy who had tried to steal steaks from the supermarket.

Kiss - I was 14. He was 15. His name was Joe. We were in my parent's pool. I was wearing a Batman t-shirt over my swimsuit.

Love - Ryan, from high school

Movie - For some reason, I want to say the Care Bear Movie.

Nickname - Nanny. Since then, other nicknames have included Nanners P (that's my rap name), Nettie, Nantucket, Banananette, Nan, Nanet-tay, among others.

Overnight - At Andrea's. I remember her threatening to kick me out if I didn't play dolls or something like that. Andrea, you were kind of mean, now that I think about it! Punk! (You know I kid. Sorta.)

Pet - We had a German shepard when I was little but I don't remember him. For a while we had lots of cocker spaniels, then we got into basset hounds. Bassets are sooooooo freakin' cute!

Queer Experience - I got nothing.

Road Trip - My family drove to Colorado to visit friends when I was in the 4th grade.

Speeding Ticket - Yikes. I've only had two in my life, but I got them within a month and a half from each other, right before and after my 18th birthday. My parents were livid and to this day, it's the only "bad" thing I ever did as a teenager, according to my mother.

Time - I'm a lady. I will not divulge those details. :-)

Unchaperoned Concert - My parents never took me to concerts because there weren't any nearby. My first concert (without my parents) was Harry Connick Jr. in San Francisco, 1995. My friend, Mark, took me.

Visit to Another Country - Next month! London, Paris and Amsterdam with Shelby!

Westward Migration - Well, I've always lived on the West Coast. Technically my move from Visalia to San Luis Obispo may count.

X-Ray - Aside from the dental ones, I had a sprained knee once that they x-rayed.

Yoni Tree - No freakin' clue what that is.

Zombie Movie - The original Dawn of the Dead! It was the only scary movie that ever gave me nightmares. The recent 28 Days Later was also freakin' scary.
