I never thought, as a child, that I wouldn't grow up, get married and have babies who would grow up, get married and have babies. I was also going to be a ballerina, firefighter, police officer, doctor and president - yes, all at the same time - but I never doubted my future would involve a husband and babies. TBH, I was a little vague about the husband part except in as much as I needed one to have babies.

How old where you when you when you built your last snowman?

I think I was 27 or 28.  I definitely built one while Aja and I were living on Pine Ridge Rd in Cornelius, NC.

How old were you when you first went back to a town where you used to live?

I was 15, and it was at my sister's new year's party.  I had drunk essentially no alcohol before this point.

I started on Guinness, not exactly a great place to start, but I actually quite liked it, despite the horribly dark taste.  My sweet tooth meant I preferred cider in those days.

First grade- So 6 or 7. We made it in school- it was so much fun!!!  We loved kneading it. And it tasted great!

Music class in Grade 10 - so, uh, 14 - 15.

Gutted as I love music but cannot read it or play any instruments - and I was in the 'basic' class.   [smiley=blush.gif]

First time you made a piece of clothing?

You don't need to know how to read music to learn to play it!

I made clothes for my Barbies and my stuffed cat (yes, I was a strange one) at a very young age--somewhere between 8 and 9, I think.  I also made myself an *awesome* gypsy skirt and wore it for Halloween at least a couple years in a row!

Try taking a B complex vitamin and drinking gatorade before bed. It's a magical combination.

Not sure, probably pretty young, I was independent.  I'd say at 6 or 7.  For awhile there in late elementary school, I decided I wanted to pack my own lunch every day, as a way of being grown up but by high school, I decided that having my mom do it every day and sneak surprises in there was nicer. :)

if platforms count, then I was 21, and dressed like one of Abba (benny, I think) for a friend's birthday party.

how old were you when you first made friends with someone over the Internet?
