Ok more than 6.  But aih what’s the use when Great Expectations, David Copperfield and The Tale of Two Cities were all abridged versions WTF.

And most of the other books (except for maybe Kite Runner and Time Traveler’s Wife) were all read growing up!  Means I’m really dumbing down now fts.

I will read all the books in the list before I’m 30.  Which will mean by then I will be cultured and possess the right to look down on anyone WTF.  Or at least attempt to read so I know why I refuse to finish them.

(thank you god for not putting Twilight on this list)

Ok since this reminded me of a meme (or is it?) Imma do another one now!

My first boyfriend.  But we broke up a week before prom or something but still had to go together cos we already bought the tickets FML.

2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love?
Yes.

3. What was your FIRST job?
Working in the Luxury Reservations department or something at Amex as a temp.  I had to swipe in every morning, key in a code to unlock my phone and relock it at lunch, swipe out at lunch and after work.  If more than 1 minute late, FYL your pay gets chopped.  Made me never ever wanna work at a bank or finance company.

4. What was your FIRST car?

9. Who was your FIRST kiss?
First boyfriend.  Totally cheated out of it.

10. Where was your FIRST sleepover?
At Hsin’s!  We were so excited we came over with all our nail polish and Smash Hits and all our homemade video tapes of Backstreet Boys and 911.  And then we fell asleep with my leg over Hsin’s neck HAHAHAHAH.

Sat up in bed then fell backwards on to the bed and back to sleep again.

14. What was the FIRST concert you ever went to?
911!  My hero ok.  Hsin and I managed to convince her mom to take us to the concert but then there was a stampede and her mother lost her shoe so we skulked outside the hall and sulked hahahahaa haih.  But I think we managed to get through in the end to watch it though!

15. FIRST tattoo?
None.

16. First piercing?
My ears.  I was 16 because Fat Her wouldn’t let me pierce my ears before even though I cried and begged him.  But then I finally got to pierce because my brother pierced his WTF THE INJUSTICE.

21. Who was your FIRST roommate?
Beth Hankes!  She liked being cold so she’d sit by the open window in winter while thankfully my desk was next to the heater wtf.  We both procrastinated our homework 7 hours a day so we were a terrible influence on each other.

22. If you had one wish, what would it be?
To fly!  (not in a plane)  To have a chair that will fly me anywhere I want to go.  (like the Enid Blyton one!)

23. What is something you would learn if you had the chance?
I would learn how to ballroom dance.  Properly!  I never paid much attention in ballroom dance classes cos you can pass just by attending :(  Only remember the waltz, tango and chacha and I suck at all of them anyway.

Done!
