radiantbabyJeff Rennie is the coolest person on the planet.
Yes, he was nice enough to drop by the new place last night and sell me an old laptop for just $50.00. It's about 7 years old and no amazing piece of machinery, but for someone who is presently computer-less at home, it's a godsend.
Oh, and the Coyote Mexican Bar and Grill (or whatever its called) is soon going to know me by name. I went there last night with said Jeff, with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
davidmcd sometime last week, and then about a week ago with my mother and my best friend Chris when I was moving. Its really great food though, even if it is a bit unflattering to the waistline.
Well, anyway, soon Jeff will be giving me the guitar lessons that I’ve been so excited about. He’s been a bit busy with the birth of his son last week, but it was still really good to see him again last night nonetheless.
first real kiss: Hmm, when I was about 11 with Jeff Rennie (ironically, now my good friend and soon-to-be guitar teacher). I have no real memory of it (just all the subsequent kisses we shared), so I had to ask him the details a few years back.
first job: Winn Dixie, courtesy clerk (fancy name for grocery bagger and cart go-getter)
first screen name: technically, it was “SGVP46C” (I can’t believe I still remember that!) – I was on Prodigy back in the day and like Compuserve you were assigned a group of letters/numbers for your online identity (well, I mean this was 1987 or so). I didn’t get to choose a screenname until I got AOL around 1995 and, being a big Durannie, I thought I’d choose something relating to that. Of course all of the good ones were taken, so in a fit I typed in the random “OktoberGal” (from their song “Secret Oktober” that I quite like) and it took. What a dumb name. Very soon after I was reading the Keith Haring biography and then became “Radiantbaby” instead and have been that ever since.
first self-purchased album: self-purchased? I remember getting the 12” to Duran’s “Union of the Snake” as a kid, but as for an album, I think it was Bowie’s “Tonight” album around 1985.
first funeral: I think that I have really only been to one. It was when my friend Jeff Shepherd died of AIDS back around 1996 or so. It was truly sad.
first pets: The first I remember was Mickey, an esquisitely evil black cat. I think I was around 4 years old when we got her.
first piercing: I got my ears pierced sometime around 2nd grade. I cried my eyes out from pain and my mother kept scolding me for doing so, thinking I was being a “baby.” Turns out they gave me a really bad ear infection and I had to take them out within days. I didn’t repierce them until I was about 18.
first true love: That’s a tie between my high school obsession Tom Kelley and my high school best friend Carol.
first big trip: After moving from Pennsylvania down here when I was about 3, I went back and forth from here to there a lot to visit my relatives. I was very used to flying by myself by age 5 of so. I would think that was pretty big. I felt like such an adult.
last big car ride: Drving 14 hours to Allentown, PA for a concert about 2 years ago.
last kiss: I got a sweet little peck on the cheek Saturday night from Jeff C., but other than that I would have to say Eric Foster sometime around our one-night-stand earlier this year.
last good cry: I cry about once a day these days. I had a really intense one Saturday, I suppose.
last movie seen: I watched both “Happiness” and “High Fidelity” two days ago, I can’t remember the order.
last beverage drank: Currently sipping on some Earl Grey tea.
last food consumed: some of my co-worker’s left-over birthday cake
last phone call:xtwitch – we were setting up the gameplan for this weekend’s Soledad Brothers Mayhem. Its good to have another conspirator along for the ride with me and barmaid1. Mwahahahaha…
last TV show watched: “24” atdavidmcd’s place
last shoes worn: wearing my “kingpin” black shoes right now…my pseudo, indie-girl-trying-to-be-corporate shoes of choice.
last CD played: currently consuming Muddy Waters: Rollin Stone – The Golden Anniversary Collectoion
last item bought: Jeff R.’s laptop – woo-hoo!
last disappointment: I’d rather not say.
last soda drank: Diet Coke at dinner last night
last ice cream eaten: apart from sneaking a bit at the occasional at-work birthday parties, I have no idea. I’m allergic (and always regret it when I think I am tough enough to have a scoop).
last shirt worn: I'm wearing one of my favorite shirts from childhood right now actually. I first got it around 14 or 15 and its black with white stripes. I don’t know why I still have it, but I love it. Its been through a few incarnations, it used to have attached suspenders which I pulled off (it was the 80s, you know).
