[Richard_D_Ramirez]

First film seen at a drive-in: Star Wars. I was scared of this film prior to watching it, because I thought Chewie was the Wolfman! My parents had to "re-assure" me, "Star Wars is just like Star Trek on TV!".
First film seen in a theater: Alien. Two hours of sheer horror. I spent half the film cuddled into a ball in my chair, closing my eyes and plugging my ears.
First movie rental: Atlantic City, for my dad's brand spankin' new Betamax. Remeber the days of $100 deposits in order to open an account?
First movie re-rental: Highlander. My sister and I had a hoot, and couldn't get enough of the Kurgan spewing, "Rrrrramirezzzzzz...."
Forst movie owned: Excalibur.
First DVD owned: Contact. One of the few films available during DVD's intial release. Oh, the joys of special features back then!
First "boobies" seen in a movie: Angie's body double from Dressed to Kill. That was a sure eye-opener for a lad of 11!
First job: Taking customer order requests at Surburban Car Wash. After a "disagreement" with the supervisor on an extremely busy day, I turned my back on the guy and walked off, leaving him with a stream of cars waiting for their orders!
First vechicle driven: My father's 1983 Dodge Ram 50, which I now own (and unfortunately drive).

First pet: Inky, the terrier poodle with an attitude. Miss ya, guy.
First girlfriend: Grace, 8th grade. Now I think back upon it, what the hell was I doing? Why did I not even see her during the entire summer? No wonder she dumped me when the fall classes started...
First true love: My beautiful wife, 'Fer (Jennifer). You are the light of my life.
First (and only so far) child: My swee' pea, Annie! You are the warmth of my life.
8^B
