First time I get home at 5:30 am.

First time I head for the mountains late in the afternoon.

First time I clip both cats' nails and give both cats and the dog flea goo BEFORE 9 AM (and still get to work reasonably on time).

(I think I have to work harder at having unique experiences everyday....)

Rustell, I too have attempted to move an innappropriately parked car manually, with no success. I think that only works if a child or loved one is trapped under it.

Today . . .

-- first time I added coolant to my car (guess the place I get oil changes now doesn't top off the liquids).

--first time I found unclaimed money (in my father's name) on the internet.

First time I ate...whatever kind of squash that was. My son started the seeds in school last spring, and labelled it "pumpkin." It wasn't.

First time I was mistaken over the phone for a sales associate's son. She was expecting him to call...I called instead and she called me honey.

This season is the first time I've ever grown birdhouse gourds. They are awesome, prolific, lovely, and I'll have them growing every year from now on.

First time I recall finding a painting - oil on canvas - being thrown away.

Not a good painting, but I think it'll be interesting as small pieces, say ATC size, when the ratio of brushstroke size to canvas size will let it acheive a sort of abstract quality. It seems to have been hanging in someone's kitchen, and smells a bit of asafoetida, so I'm going to wash it first.

I have to say that I love this thread. “Firsts” are things I keep track of a lot. That’s what every “adventure” becomes, big or small.

Some firsts aren’t so hot… yesterday, was the first day I got to work and realized that one of the cats had peed in my underwear drawer. An experience I hope to never repeat.

First time I decided to make an inventory of my arts/crafts supplies. And a good thing I did, too because I found stuff I didn't even know I had. For six months I've been thinking I need a new black ink pad because my old one dried up. Turns out that not only did the old one still have plenty of ink, but I had an another cat's eye black pigment ink pad I haven't ever opened! Where did that come from?

Today was the first time my favorite work pal annoyed me enough to make me want to sock him in the eye and I actually bit his head off. :( Maybe I was just snarky today. I bought him a card to make up for it. I don't care who started it. :(

Oh Melissa! How sad! Today was the first day my cat children, Gracie & Guinness, were shaved on their bellies -- their tangles were too tough for the salon lady to comb out. That's because they have been going outdoors with me on their new harness and leash!

Saturday was the first time I saw a hooker on Woodward Ave.
Sunday was the first time I sat w/ my bf and watched squirrels rain beechnuts onto the ground.

This morning, around 5, I woke up and had BF spooned at my back and was somehow holding the "hand" of Orange, the cat that likes to sleep on my head. It was SO sweet.

Today should have been the first time I drove alone here in France, for work, no less, but I was told this morning that it was cancelled. :( I'd been anxious but excited about it...

Here's a first - First time I wear my heels since I took that fall in the Metro.
Last night was the first time I ever put together a mix CD. Had to figure out how to use the software, and it took me two hours to get the tracklist just right...
Tonight will be the first time I burn a music CD. :D

I'm French Canadian, actually, but I've been living in France for nearly 4 years.
So in my case, it would be "Je me souviens. Cocorico!!!" *g*

First time I actually CAUGHT my dog in the act of eating all the cat kibble and was able to give him a scolding and lecture.

first time making tandoori chicken for my hubby... he loved it, of course... i have him hooked on pretty well anything curry or east indian style... when we met, he told me he HATES curry... i cooked him my louisiana chicken that night, which he loved, and informed him that it had to be something else in the curried hotpot that he didn't like because my louisiana chicken is FULL of the stuff!!!

Hammerquill, which movie? Mabrouk!

Shukran!

We were told "A John Travolta movie". I looked it up on imdb and found there's one currently being filmed in Tampa, Florida, where the gallery that arranged this, and which has the wallpiece, is located. It's apparently a nasty, extra-violent superhero flic (as if we didn't have enough of that attitude in real life) called The Punisher. Well, who knows? They might turn genre on its head and make something positive out of it, but I'm not placing any bets. I'll go to the comics store and look up the original first - gotta get more ATC binder pages anyway. The movie's due out next year sometime. Well, presumably summer, given its genre.

Tea and butter?? Hee!

First time that silly morning dove listens to me when I tell her "The door is over there", instead of thrashing around... (Our dining room/living room wall is just glass giving out onto the balcony. In summer we leave the sliding doors open all the time and the doves saunter in from the balcony. Then if someone steps into the room they panic and try to get out, but they can't find the opening because everything's transparent).

First time I visited the Indian Jewelry show at the Haskell Native American Indian college (beautiful silver jewelry -- made me wish I had lots of money I didn't know what to do with!).

First time I've bathed my 2 yr old niece.

First time I've heard her say "Wrap me up in the Burrito Rag!" (the terrycloth bath towel that she gets bundled up in post-bath. They then call her "Burrito Baby.")

PostScript -- I love that kid. Nothing helps heal heartbreak like spending the afternoon with an adorable, hilarious 2 yr old. *Thank you baby Ruby! Aunt KayKay loves you!*

This weekend will be the first time I go visit my former in-laws (technically still my in-laws) in over three months. Their sense of family and friendship is very strong, and I have been told repeatedly that I am still welcome anytime. But this weekend the whole family is gathered to celebrate the 90th birthday of my ex's grandmother, so my ex will be there, though thankfully without his new gf. This will be the first time we don't share a bed at his parent's house. I'm anxious. :unsure:

Just produced the first of a new series of inexpensive wall hangings, simple and cheap, not one-of-a-kind, except in their color detail. I was the one who thought of doing them and got the ball rolling, so it's the first design of mine for the studio, though the design is so simple it hardly deserves the term. (I've done my own designs for my own production before, and even been successful with them.)

Two days ago (keep forgetting to post), first inspiration for a new large-scale design of my own to come directly from ATCs I've done for Nness. Haven't got to the point of starting work on it yet.

First Time I posted a forward to Nervousness...but I really liked it and now when I refer to us as Mouse potato idea hamsters you'll say, "Yep, she's right."

BLAMESTORMING - Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline
was
missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.

SEAGULL MANAGER - A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps
on
everything, and then leaves.

CUBE FARM - An office filled with cubicles.

IDEA HAMSTERS - People who always seem to have their idea generators
running.

MOUSE POTATO - The on-line, wired generation's answer to the couch
potato.

PRAIRIE DOGGING - When someone yells or drops something loudly in a
cube
farm, and people's heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on.

SITCOMs - (Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage) What
Yuppies turn into when they have children and one of them stops working
to stay home with the kids.

STARTER MARRIAGE - A short-lived first marriage that ends in divorce
with no kids, no property, and no regrets.

SWIPED OUT - An ATM or credit card that has been rendered useless
because the magnetic strip is worn away from extensive use.

ALPHA GEEK - The most knowledgeable, technically proficient person in
an
office or work group.

ASSMOSIS - The process by which some people seem to absorb success and
advancement by kissing up to the boss rather than working hard.

FLIGHT RISK - Used to describe employees who are suspected of planning
to leave a company or department soon.

IRRITAINMENT - Entertainment and media spectacles that are annoying but
you find yourself unable to stop watching them. The O.J. trials were a
prime example. Bill Clinton's shameful video Grand Jury testimony is
another.

PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE - The fine art of whacking the heck out of an
electronic device to get it to work again.

VULCAN NERVE PINCH - The taxing hand position required to reach all the
appropriate keys for certain commands. For instance, the arm re-boot
for
a Mac II computer involves simultaneously pressing the Control key, the
Command Key, the Return Key, and the Power On key.

YUPPIE FOOD STAMPS - The ubiquitous $20 bills spewed out of ATMs
everywhere. Often used when trying to split the bill after a meal, "We
each owe $8, but all anybody's got are yuppie food stamps."

ADMINISPHERE - The rarefied organizational layers beginning just above
the rank and file. Decisions that fall from the adminisphere are often
profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were
designed to solve.

404 - Someone who's clueless. >From the World Wide Web error message
"404 Not Found," meaning that the requested document could not be
located. "Don't bother asking him . . . he's 404, man."

GENERICA - Features of the American landscape that are exactly the same
no matter where one is, such as fast food joints, strip malls,
subdivisions. Used as in "We were so lost in generica that I forgot
what
city we were in."

OHNOSECOND - That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that
you've just made a BIG mistake.

UMFRIEND - A sexual relation of dubious standing or a concealed
intimate
relationship, as in "This is Jane, my ... um ... friend."

First time Jamie laughed AT me instead of WITH me at work. She was putting some stuff in binders and told me we are all out of black, what if I do two whites and the gray, and my response was - "Yea, okay, but make sure you do white-gray-white so it is symetrical." She claims that this is the most obessive compulsive thing she has ever heard and found if hilarious. I pointed out that she was probably only so hysterical because SHE thought the same thing. Her calling me OCD is definately the pot calling the kettle black.

The first time I came home from work and went directly to put on my pajamas, a sure sign I didn't want to leave the house. Completely unrelated to my other first.

The first time Brian threatened to secretly join nervousness so he could see what I type about all the time. I will now by suspcious of all newbies. I didn't mention he could sign on as a guest. Actually, he could just click on the site from my cpu and be me....you would notice, right?

First time my brain was eaten by Kellimonster.

First time I ever wondered if my husband gets online as me after I go to bed so he can see what I'm up to.

First time I ever stopped and wondered if I should be worried about anything I typed anywhere.

First time I wondered if I would go to sleep and dream about zombies eating my brain. I'm very suggestible that way.

Wow, even across international waters, Nervousness women menstruate together. So, um, in keeping with the thread: First time I have used this health food store unbleached tampons!

(Deep apologies to all of you who really wish I wouldn't have shared, but you know, sisterhood and all.)

(ps cuilanie- i hope you appt went well the other day too... and i am glad you got your period... being late is the most stressful thing i can think of for a woman- well, unless she's trying to get pg then it's usually a good thing i guess... usually....)

Is fusha a place or are you referring to the color fuchsia? If so, WHY OH WHY do you even own fuchsia colored clothing. (Yes, I know always picture you as a kick-ass Lara Croft so the fuschia isn't working).

First time I've gotten ahead of where I'm supposed to be on NaNoWriMo before the last day! Yay!

Rustell - Fusha is a language: it's formal or classical Arabic, the lingua franca (to chose a correct but inappropriate term) of the Arabic-speaking world. The language of Arabia as it existed at the time of the Qur'an. Lebanese is either a dialect of Arabic a long way from Fusha or has become its own language - there are usually two opinions on questions like that - with a great admixture of older regional languages and (I think) more recent imports...

Alpaca
11-02-2003, 09:38 PM
LOLOL Rustell you're too cute! Fusha is literary Arabic, and it was like going to a conference only to hear the lecturer start speaking like Shakespeare. It shouldn't be spoken, only written. I haven't dealt with Arabic (only Lebanese) since high school and I had no idea what the man was saying.

Sirius
11-02-2003, 10:06 PM
:huh: I even tried the handy dictionary before my Fuschia post -- but Fusha wasn't in it. I guess it hasn't yet recognized the language. <_<

Well, just think you may not understand the langauge but others do not even know of it. :D (The "Did you mean fish?" is quite funny....)

Example: dictionary.com

No entry found for fusha.

Rustell -- I replied to you but my post got lost in cyberspace, so I'm glad Reed replied to you as well. The fish thing is cute LOL I like fish better than fusha ;)

Reed -- it's a language of its own that is Aramaic-based with much Arabic influence but very different phonetics and often different grammar, not to mention lexicon. You have to learn both separately. Knowledge of one by no means implies you can understand or speak the other.
