First Loves Blogfest!!!

Today is the First Loves Blogfest - Hosted by the awesome Alex J Cavanaugh.

On May 14, post your first loves – first movie, first song/band, first book, and first person. Four loves, one blogfest! 
 
I thought this was going to be easy, but then I stopped to think and really had to go way back.

The first movie I ever fell in love with was probably...Hmm...I can't remember.  Seriously I can't. When I was younger I watched whatever my brother watched because I wanted to be cool like him. So that consisted of Ghostbusters, Terminator 2 and Indiana Jones. So not my type of movies. The first movies I remember falling in love with and watching over and over again were Home Alone, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and Dazed and Confused.

My first love when it comes to bands/songs are a weird variety to say the least.
Green Day, Ace of Base, Billy Joel and Boys to Men.

Green Day's Dookie was the first cassette tape I ever bought. Do you guys remember those? I played it in my red Walkman, yes a Walkman they came before Discmans, over and over and over again. Best album ever. My favorite songs were Basket Case and When I Come Around.

Boys to Men was the first CD I ever bought. I remember buying it at the WIZ, remember those, and accidentally grabbing the Spanish version and having to go back and return it. End of the Road and I'll Make Love to you by far my favorite songs.

I was obsessed with Billy Joel's River of Dreams and Ace of Base's, All That She Wants, Don't Turn Around and The Sign. My mom won the Ace of Base CD on the radio and I stole it from her and practiced my baton routines with it. lol.

First book. Hmm. This is hard because growing up I was never a reader. Shocker, right? But if I went way back, I'm talking kindergarten when I would take the maximum ten books at a time out of the library then that's easy. The Stupids, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Madeline, The Berenstain Bears, Amelia Bedelia and then when I moved on from those it was definitely R.L. Stine's Goosebumps and Fear Street books.

Now the first person I loved. Does that mean like my real first love or an actor who I thought I would randomly meet one day and he'd fall madly in love with me? Because hello I was so irresistible! If that's the case the first actor I ever loved was definitely Jonathon Taylor Thomas. To say I was obsessed would be putting it mildly.

 If it was my first real love that's no secret to those that know me. It was my first real boyfriend and my best friend's brother. I was fourteen he was fifteen and we dated for a year a month and a day. Something I'll never forget. My world came tumbling down around me when we broke up. Now I can't imagine having ever dated him. He's like a brother and that's eww weird! I went to his wedding two years ago. His wife is awesome!

And because I know you guys love pictures. Below is a pic from that wedding with "the gang".  It's one of my favorite pictures because it was the first time we were all in the same place together since we left high school. A few people are missing but it was as close as being back in school as we could get. I'm the one with the long, messy, dancing hair. And right next to me, my BFF who married her high school sweetheart who was a part of our group and is standing right behind her. They were also a first for me. They were the first group of friends that I ever had that made me realize friends are as close to family as you can get without the whole sharing a bloodline thing.


So there you go all of my first loves. What about you? What were your first loves?
