Yesterday Vox’s questions of the day was about your first kiss and I liked this question so while it was yesterday I’m going to write it today. I didn’t have time yesterday to write a post as I had an exam that I was cramming for most of the day and I have another one that I need to cram for but I just wanted to write this up real quick.

So let me begin…

First I have to tell the back story, I had recently met this boy named Shawn at one of my best friends, Heather’s, house. It was on Easter weekend which meant I was on Spring Break, we always had Thursday, Friday and Monday off. I don’t know if they did it differently because we were given Rodeo* off here or if it’s like this every where else. My friend Whitney and I had just gone to the movies, 10 Things I Hate About You to be exact, which is one of my favorite movies. As we often did we stopped at Heather’s house unannounced because she was usually home since she couldn’t drive yet and was younger then us. Shawn and his friend Randy just happened to be there that night as well. I went to high school with both of them and they were also in my graduating class.

I was sitting in the dining area of Heather’s house where the kitchen was when Shawn walked in and the very first thing he did was sit on me. You know that fake thing where you sit down on someone and you’re like oh my mistake? Yeah he did this to me and then just continued to sit there while I was some what surprised and confused. Although it was a pleasant surprise and pleasant confusion because I had that excited, “oh my goodness a boy is giving me attention”, feeling.

Needless to say a lot of flirting happened after that between us and at school when we saw each other we did a lot more of it. I started hanging out with him regularly as I started hanging out with Heather more. The funny thing is that Shawn was Summer’s ex-boyfriend in which it only lasted about a week back in her freshman year. He also happened to be her first kiss as well only it was one of those quick peck like kisses. After much debate over this matter I decided that I liked Shawn and I told Summer and she said since she dated him like a week she barely even counted him as an ex-boyfriend and she had broken up with him, BUT then she told me I could do better. (longest sentence ever)

He had started coming over at night after work and I remember distinctly that I was sitting in the dark on my bed listening to my discman**. I don’t remember what CD I was listening to but I do know that I did this a lot back in high school. I would sit in the dark on my bed listening to music or reading books by flash light.  If I were to guess the CD it would probably have been a.) Britney Spears …baby one more time, a Backstreet Boys CD OR (wait for it) Korn***. I also know that I had my hair in braided pig tails and I was wearing my favorite blue zip up hoodie. Ok now that I’m done going on a tangent I’ll return to my regularly scheduled blogging. Shawn ended up coming over and I turned the light on and we told each other that night that we liked each other and then talked for awhile. I remember he took me in his arms and kissed me good bye. I was really nervous about the whole thing because I had never kissed anyone before but I have to say it was a pretty pleasant experience. It was just very sweet and some what innocent which really describes my whole relationship with him.

He became my first boyfriend but it didn’t last very long and I realized much later on down the road there were better kissers out there. 

*Two days in February when the rodeo comes to town.

**Ahh the times before the ipod

*** My music taste makes no sense but I really loved Freak on A Leash by Korn. To this day I still think it had one of the best music videos.

What gifts, big or small, are you hoping to find under your tree this year?

The only thing I know of that I asked for that I am for sure getting is a digital camera which I'm very excited about. The one that I have right now is really old and it doesn't do anything to fancy but you know take pictures. Other then that I hope to get some TV on DVD and surprises...I love surprises and not knowing what I'm getting. Just like I like to keep it secret on what I'm getting for my friends.

I think I just love Christmas and the holidays mostly because I get to see all my family. One of my Aunts is coming to visit this year for Christmas so I'm really excited about that!. We always go on what we call an annual pilgrimage, which is going up to Ventana Canyon Resort and getting drinks by the bar area. Also we have Movie Sundays and generally a good time.

BUT I think it would be pretty awesome if someone got me a blueray DVD player but I don't expect it....I'm just throwing it out there into the universe. 

Here's one for the ladies:  What's in your handbag right now? 
Submitted by Kadeeae.

My wallet, ipod, lotion, cell phone, two sets of keys, sun glasses, chapstick, asprin, hair ties and clips, a flier for something, visine, check book, brush and my deck to my car so that i may play music.

What are you saving up for? 
Submitted by Star. 

If I had a job then there is a lot that I would be saving up for but for now I am just wishing. So here is a list of things that I wish I could save up for:

The X-Files - The Ultimate Collection (this has all ten seasons including the movie
A new ipod (I have a 4GB mini so I would like a newer one and one that holds more music)
A Tivo or DVR of some kind
A new car (I drive a '98 neon which I actually like but it is getting kind of old so it would be nice to have a new car...like a jetta)
My own place to live (it would just be nice to have my own place to decorate but that will have to wait for now)
Summer Clothes (I just love clothes and Summer comes early here!)

What's the best book you read this year?

First I'd say

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)

J. K. Rowling

I read it in two days and loved every minute of it. I think it ended the series well and I was not disappointed.

Then I'd say

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Harper Fiction)

Gregory Maguire

Submitted by healthypanda. 

Friends - The Complete Series Collection

What movie did you expect would be terrible, but was actually really good?

I'd have to say Transformers! I loved that movie which is pretty obvious since I have now watched it 6 billion times.
