Milestones
July 6th, 2006 by JJ
Sarah asked me a bunch of questions and she wants to have them answered immediately (get it?):
How old were you when…
You had your first kiss?
14. At the time, I thought I was really old to have never kissed a girl. In retrospect, it doesn’t seem so bad. But I was such a self-conscious pussy back then. I hung out with a lot of girls that year, but was too much of a wuss to make a move until I was nearly 15. I probably should have kissed other prior “girlfriends.”
You lost your virginity?
I don’t know if I should be answering that question. My family reads this thing. I was too young. I thought I was mature even though I knew I wasn’t “in love,” but I was really just a kid.
You graduated high school?
18. I think this is pretty standard.
You graduated college?
21. It was a month before my 22nd birthday. I took a lot of summer classes and tested out of a couple of pre-reqs, so I was able to graduate in 3 years.
You got your first job?
13-ish. I was a computer tutor for little kids. My mom helped me design a lesson plan to teach kids the basics (how to use a mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc.). The job was just a few weeks over the summer.
You got your first real job?
16. My dad’s company hired me to pressure wash heavy equipment. I had to put on a full-body rubber apron and goggles, then hose off bulldozers and whatnot. The dirt and oil would splash back on my face and arms under the high water pressure. I walked off the job after a couple of weeks.
You lived on your own (college dorms don’t count)?
18. I never lived in the dorms. After high-school, I moved in with my buddy Joe. There are so many stories I could tell you. Maybe later when I have more time.
You met the person you married/are engaged to?
15. Yep. Momo and I have been together since high school. We broke up a couple of times during high school/college, but never for long. 15 years later we’re still very much in love.
Got married?
24. That was 6 years ago. We got married in Florida (where we lived at the time), and we spent our honeymoon touring Japan and the Philippines.
Had a baby?
Not yet.
Colored your hair?
14-ish. I colored my hair constantly back then. Orange, yellow, bright red, green, blue. Dreadlocks, surfer hair, shaved bald - I even had an early Misfits Glenn Danzig devil-lock thing for a while.
Got a tattoo/piercing?
21. I’ve never gotten anything pierced. But I got this tattoo while on vacation in New York.
Started reading?
Shit, I don’t know. Normal age I guess.
Bought your first car?
I’m not sure if this counts. My mom and dad bought me a 1981 Chevy S-10 pickup when I was 18. That’s what I drove during most of my time in college. The first car I bought on my own? I was probably 21 or 22. I bought a piece of shit Dodge Neon.
Okay - that’s enough of that. I’m not tagging anyone else - but feel free to share in the comments section. Or just post the answers on your site and give me the link.

Oh - and take a look at Mojotek’s responses too.

please tell me you have pics of you with the danzig hair. PLEASE.
also, and i meant to say this earlier, when i met you, but even though you come off as an almost complete doof on here, you’re totally not. not at all.
I was 15 before I got my first kiss. Talk about old. yuck.
First thought: Wow, you really married your high school sweet heart? Holy cow…
Second thought: You actually bought a piece of shit Dodge Neon for your second car TOO?!?! Man, I feel ya… I’m never Ever EVER going to even consider buying a chrysler/dodge/plymouth vehicle again simply because of my experience with that peiece of junk.
And I’ve been a little short on the post fodder this week… I’m totally ripping this one off.
HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I drive daily a PLYMOUTH. LOL It’s 39 years old and still going strong. Of course it was made when they still made cars right- matter of fact- I think I may have lost my virginity in the back of a Dodge- HA HA.
hey guys wassup!!!!!
i got my first kiss when i was about , one minute old , from my mum.
i was still wet , covered still in pussy juice , it was a nice kiss.
anyone can beat that?
I, too, plan to marry my high school sweetheart…..as soon as she’s out of high school…….
you and momo are high school sweethearts? you guys are so cute, hallmark should have to pay you royalties.
Sarah:
I’ve been meaning to post pics of my crazy hair… as soon as I get access to a scanner.
Randi:
I was nearly 15..
Mojotek:
Yeah, that Neon sucked. It was a baaaad choice. Glad I’m not the only one.
Diane:
Your car is badass. I once test drove a 1971 Gran Torino - the one with the 351 Cleveland. I was still in college and the guy onle wanted a few hundred dollars for it. But I just couldn’t bear to buy it, because it was pretty rusted out.
Big Al:
You are one of a kind, sir. And that’s why we love you.
Joethe:
Good one! Reminds me of that quote from Dazed and Confused: “That’s what I love about high school girls: I get older, they stay the same age.”
Jessica:
They do. It was nice at first, but now I’m locked into this shitty contract and I have to write five new cards every year.
JJ your family reads this so you can’t talk about sex, but drugs and poo are cool? I’d like to come to one of your family Christmases.
btw, I did this little questionaire thing.
Cinders:
Yeah.. It’s just different. Because I’m sure I lied about it at the time. I didn’t want my parents to know when and where I was getting it on. But drugs and poo and whatnot? I talked about those things all the time.
