"The Friday Five (Part I in a series)"

02/08/2002

Realizing that I could quite possibly shock, disappoint or alienate some of you, I decided to go ahead and throw up my answers to these five questions (stealthily stolen from here). If this gets a good response, I might make it a weekly thing here at the old castle.

1. What's the most romantic thing you've ever done for someone else? This is hard because I'm a huge romantic. I've done things from sending flowers and chocolate to anonymous love letters to random rose hits with poetry to long distance treasure hunts.

I think it all started when I was in 5th grade and madly, madly I say, in love with Holly LaValle. *swoon* I used to write her love letters with a purple ink pen, sign them as the "Purple Phantom" (Even then I was stealthy!) and slip them into her milkbox mailbox. (This was back in the old days when milk came in carboard half gallon boxes, like the quart size ones you see today.) This went on for probably about a month or two and I enjoyed watching her reactions. She would blush, giggle with her girlfriends and sweep her eyes across the male half of grade 5 wondering who it was. Knowing that I was responsible for generating such excitement and joy in an older woman (she was 11 afterall) was quite the heady feeling to a young 10 year old lad. That is until I fessed up. Needless to say nothing ever came of it. While not the first female I had a crush on, she was the first one I tried to seduce.

2. What are your erogenous zones? Well, besides the obvious one that every male claims, I would have to say that my neck and back are pretty sensitive. That kinda explains why I'm such a backscratch slut, doesn't it? *g*

3. How old were you the first time you had sex? 18
(Care to expound?) Not for lack of trying but I didn't actually have sex until my first year of college. I had dated a couple girls before in high school and gone to second or third base. It wasn't until a snowy night in January that Stephanie brought me into manhood. We dated for two and a half years after that. (Hmmm... she was a year older than I too. I'm sensing a trend.)

4. What's the most unusual place you've ever had sex? Wow, this is a hard one. I'd have to say the most unusual place was under a waterfall in the Shenandoah mountains when I was in my early twenties. Hopefully by next year I'll have a more interesting locale to report. *whistling innocently* By the way, this happened with a younger woman.

5. Do you have plans for Valentine's Day or is it just another Thursday? Technically it'll just be another Thursday since the Wench (Um, I mean my sweet Celly, of course.) will be in another state. However, we will be celebrating that weekend. And it's a three day weekend too. Hehehehehe.

Now what are your answers? Oh come on... nobody's looking. All the cool kids are doing it! Honest.

1. What's the most romantic thing you've ever done for someone else? I fixed him his favorite dinner -- lasagne, his mother's recipe -- and had it waiting on the table for him with the nice china and lit candles when he came home from work. I know, not horribly creative, but he loved it! 2. What are your erogenous zones? Neck, collarbone, the insides of my elbows, the backs of my knees! YOWZA! *shiver* 3. How old were you the first time you had sex? I was 19. He was a very, very sweet guy. A college student, like me. 4. What's the most unusual place you've ever had sex? In the upper "story" of a booth (which was actually a tent) at a medieval festival. This was during the day, and the booth was selling merchandise, so there were people walking directly underneath us and all around. It was pretty thrilling, in that having-naughty-sex-in-a-public-place kind of way! 5. Do you have plans for Valentine's Day or is it just another Thursday? No plans. I don't seem to do Valentine's Day very well (see answer #1?). Someday when I'm utterly mad for someone I'll probably use V-Day as an excuse to spoil him rotten. ~ Too shy to say! @ 11:52 p.m. EST on 02/08/2002
