about 18..My cousin took me  to  see NKOTB  (does that count?)
Nope!  Doesn't count! (but I will let you pass as you are up *very* early doing these games today!)  On second thought, I guess it counts if you and your cousin were about the same age....
I was 14 for my first concert--my much older cousin (more like and aunt) took me to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, but 19 when I first went to a concert with no adult anywhere to be seen--The Clash.

how old were you when  you  went to the movies without your parents  picking you up  or dropping you  off etc?
Hmmm, I will guess about 14--the movie theatre was in walking distance so easy to get to.

How old were you when you first lied to your parents about something you felt was "pretty big"--big enough to feel guilty about?

11.  School didn't have a cafeteria just had tables and a few coke machines in a warehouse that was in use and they stopped work for the school lunches :o  (this was a DoD school of 2000 grades 7-12)

How old were you when you got your social securty card (and do you still have the original one)?
Still tired of coteries and bans. But hanging about anyway.

I'm pretty sure I was 2 years old when I got it and my mom handed it to me at 14 when I started working and I've never given it back. I still have the original one.

How old were you when you tried sushi for the first time?

Probably not until my 30's? I really can't recall the first time other than it was in adulthood.

Do you eat haggis more than once a year?

I've only had haggis once, when I was 32, last year in Edinburgh. But I would eat it again if I ever had the opportunity. I cook at home mostly, so I haven't tried cooking it at home yet.

When did you first have surgery of any kind?

I was 5. I fell off my bike and had to get 65 stitches put into my bottom lip. It happened to be my lucky day in that there was a plastic surgeon at the hospital that day, so you wouldn't even notice unless I pointed it out!

How old were you when you went to your first formal event?

15, a month before my 16th b-day to the prom with my high school sweetheart.

How old were you when you first called a member of the opposite sex that you wanted to go out with?  I'm showing my age here...Did your mom let you call or accept calls from them?

I think I was 12. I was allowed to call, I had my own phone line!  :) Smart parents.

How old were you when you first went roller skating? (or roller blading, if you are younger than me!)

Started doing it properly at the rinks when I was 7. At least 3-4 times a week. Then even more when mom started working there.
Roller blading? What's that?

How old were you when you first went off the high dive? dove (dived) or jumped

Don't remember exactly, but I know I was less than 10 because we moved away from that pool right before I turned 10. I remember it hurt. A lot.

How old were you when you had your first 'best friend'?

I was 5. I bashed him over the head with my lunch box for sitting next to some other kid on the bus!  ;D Apparently I wanted him all to myself!

HOWYW you first realized you weren't a kid anymore?
