Friday Top Five Firsts

Friday Top Five Firsts


Here is the first installment of what I hope will become a regular feature.. and maybe a linky in the future!!

I love lists. 

I will be sharing, and asking you to share your Top Five Lists in different cataegories. On Friday. So its called Tessiegirls Friday Top 5!!

Am I over explaining this? Sure!

Ok, because this is the first edition, todays list is:

FIRSTS

1) FIRST CONCERT: I like to tell people it was Morrissey in 1991, but it was actually the Hoodoo Gurus in about 1989. I went with 2 girls who I have no memory of, other than one of them shaved her arms. In Grade Ten. I thought that was weird.

2) ALBUM: Mum and Dad had such an awesome album collection, I was spoilt for good music. The Beatles, The Yardbirds, The Animals... All the Thes from the sixties. When I finally bought music with my own money, it was We Built this City on 45. Not cool. And the first full length album? Billy Joel. The Bridge. Also not super cool. 
I wanna change my answer. First single on 45.... Love Will Tear Us Apart: Joy Division. First Album: The Queen is Dead- The Smiths.

You dont know! You werent there!

3) FIRST LOVE: Grade One. His name was Nico Papagianis. He looked like a little greek Ray Martin impersonator. He didnt know I was alive.

4) FIRST CIGARETTE: Dec 1991. Moreton Island. Worst Schoolies Week EVER. 
LAST CIGARETTE: Dec 2007 when Gavin and Max and I moved into this house together. I am so glad my Lovely Husband encouraged me to kick it. Sometimes I have dreams where I forget that I dont smoke.. and I smoke. And I wake up thinking, "Oh No! I am a smoker again! What the hell?!"

5) FIRST CAR: I came late to the whole driving thing. I was 32 when I got my license. I bought my first car in Aug 2006. It was a Mazda something and I loved it because I  bought it with my own money that I earned and saved up. So there.

What are your Top Five Firsts? What was your first album? Why didnt Nico Papaginis love me?
