Some of my firsts...

So Jen told me to do this when I mentioned what my first CD was. So here are some of my firsts... at the least the ones I can remember.


First LP

Def Leppard - Hysteria



This LP was purchased last October while I was in Scotland. While browsing through a Used and New music store in Edinburgh on the Royal Mile I came across this rare and awesome find. I immediately thought... the owner of the company I work for would love this. No, not just love but LOOOOVE this. He loves the Def Leppard.




First Cassette

Aerosmith - Livin' on the Edge (Single)




This was the first cassette I can think of that I actually purchased with my own money. I do have others that are more embarassing like Paula Abdul, Vanilla Ice (yep, the full length cassette with this 'original' song "Ice, Ice Baby"), and of course the full discography (or cassette-ography) of Joey, Jon, Jordan, Danny and Donnie. Oh ya, the New Kids on the Block (or if you're a true fan, NKOTB) were constantly found blastin' from my ghetto blaster.



First CD



The Bodyguard Soundtrack

And IIIIIIIIII-eeeeeee-IIIIIIIII willll allllllllllways love Yooooooooou-oooo ooo!!!

What can I say? I didn't get actually musical taste until junior high. But if you time traveled back to 1992, you would be able to catch me belting out my horrifyingly deaf-toned voice as Whitney sang Dolly Parton's sappy love's-found-and-then-lost song.



First iTunes Purchase

David Bowie (feat. NIN) - I'm Afraid of Amercians




I love this song and it's a great example of how amazing Trent Reznor is in the production role. The fact that I can get this song without purchasing an entire CD with Bowie songs I don't want... priceless. I love iTunes.





First VHS


The Princess Bride




With brillant lines like...
"Mawwiage, Mawiage is what bwings us togever today"
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die"
"Is this a kissing book?"
"Stop that I mean it! Anybody want a peanut?"

...how could I not get this on VHS. Plus, Cary Elwes is so cute.




First DVD

Dune


Okay I'm a big SciFi geek and this proves it. But I must say that this is NOT the Stanley Kubrick version. This is the SciFi Channel mini-series and I purchased it before I even owed a DVD player. In fact, I first watched this on my parents computer because that was the only DVD player I had access to.

Now you're either quoting Princess Bride or singing Whitney Houston... (Ha, Ha!) my evil plan has succeeded.
