From Nerimon, via John Green. (Look it up. It's worth it.)

1) Tell us about your first kiss
I was four. We were "playing Sleeping Beauty". Of course, when I say that, I mean we were just doing the kissing part because we were surprisingly sexualized children. I can't speak for anyone else, but I was never (as my mother euphamistically puts it) "interfered with". I was just obsessed with sex. ...unlike now... What can I say, Childhood sexuality is serious business.

Adam, Andrea and I.

I thought Andrea was the better person for the kissing. She was older (by two weeks), knew more things (I was somewhat sheltered, if somewhat means I was raised in a cave on Mars, under a rock, with my fingers in my ears) and she was shy about it so I had to. 9 years later, Adam and I were "dating" (but we didn't talk about it in public because he didn't want anyone in the class to know) (a recurring theme in my relationships) and kissing up a storm. If I had known more and had access to birth control, I would have felt ready to engage in coitus. As it was, we practically did everything but.

2) What is the most expensive casual item of clothing you've ever bought?
I don't even know. I don't know that I've spent more than $100 on an article of clothing. My wedding dress (the dress I signed papers in) cost $60. I need to spend more on clothes and have better quality.

3) What was the first job you ever wanted as a kid?
I wanted to be a doctor, I though. But not so much a doctor, as a dominatrix. My fantasies included doing things with "patients" sexually with me in a position of power. I didn't know Dommes were a thing. Good think I wasn't surrounded by people who knew what questions to ask.

I remember a lot more sex in my childhood than I think children probably need to be thinking about.

4) Tell us about your group of school friends
I had less friends and more acquaintances. I'm the same way today. I'll help you out if things are going poorly but I'm not likely to ask for help or really want to hang out, when things are going well. I'm the opposite of a fair weather friend. Call me when the shit hits the fan.

5) What would you name your kids?
I don't even know. That is a complicated question.
