Dick Mac (alive!)

The First Time:


I provide this list of my firsts after reading jendi's list of firsts.


My Firsts

My First Day of School (First Grade): (circa) September 8, 1963. A couple months later, the nuns were crying and sent us home because President Kennedy was assassinated (my first assassination). When I got home, my mother was crying. I guess it was a really sad day (was it my first really sad day?).

My First Tooth Fairy Visit: Unknown. We were poor. Bad dental hygiene wasn't rewarded until my mom got her third job. By that time, I didn't believe in that kind of fairy.

My First Detention: 1969. My first year in a new neighborhhod, at a new parochial school, with a new set of nuns from a different order of school teachers. I made new friends by acting out in class. It worked.

My First French Kiss: 1966. I was eight, she was 7, we were listening to *I Will Follow Him*.

My First Bra: 1975. Since I'm a guy, it took me longer than for many other people.

My First Cigarette: 1965. My father made me and my brother smoke one with him. He was drunk (my father).

My First Tampon: 1971. I learned that when I was out of rolling papers, tampon wrappers made great joints.

My First Drink: 1970. Catholic Memorial high school basketball game. Who remembers the opponent?

My First Drunk: See above! Puked on myself for the first time. Lost my first friend due to booze. Lied to my family about booze for the first time.

My First Marijuana High: 1971. It did nothing for me in 1970, but kicked my ass this time!

My First Trip: I assume jendi is asking for the first acid (LSD) trip. That would be 1972. I laughed til my face hurt, for the first time in my life.

My First Sex: Voluntary?

My First Grey Hair: 1975. I was seventeen. This was my first conscious encounter with vanity, also.

My First Shave: 1973. I didn't really need it, either. This may have been my first masculinity crisis, as well.

My First Dye Job: 1975. My hair was long, and looked better not dyed!

My First Traffic Accident: 1973. I was drunk, but my mother's co-worker was much drunker than me, and he decided to *teach me how to drive,* making this also my first driving lesson. I wrapped the car around a light pole.

My First Speeding Ticket: None yet! WAIT! STOP THE PRESSES! I got my first speeding ticket in December, 1997. But, never again!

My First Quitting Smoking: 1980. Then 1984. Then 1987. Then 1993.
