Since I was told yesterday in IRC that no one knows who the hell I am, I guess I need to start posting in these big forums that people actually read
Anyway, I won't say any of my stories are interesting; but I can at least try to make them long winded.
The first time I was in a car accident my mom was driving, and I was looking downward because I was counting change for a soda at Home Depot. I don't know why she made me come, and I really did rebel against going; but anyway a NINETY YEAR OLD MAN turns in front of us to enter a parking lot. For a few seconds that I barely remember I sat with my eyes shut wondering if I was still alive or not, then my mom's rapid cussing at this old man who just looked confused woke me back into reality. My downward facing position caused a really bad bloody nose *edit: from the airbag, and I was wearing a white tshirt - so I honestly looked a lot worse than I actually would just from the shocking sight of all that blood. People crowded around me, my mom is still yelling at this old man - my arm is searing all the way up and down because apparently I got burned. This was also the first time I was ever in an ambulance, but I didn't get to go to the hospital; I just cleaned myself up.
All in all, we got a nice car, and I got to ride home in a tow truck. And I never had to go to home depot.

The first time I ever spoke to a large group of people was at my 6th grade graduation. All in all, I knew what I was going to say - and did a good job. However, for whatever reason, my low-budget school didn't have the microphone I *know* they had somewhere; so I had to do some massive projection without screaming. It was really poorly organized, looking back - but at the time I felt like a star just for not messing up.
I got to be alumni at my brothers 6th grade graduation too. Called people up to get their stupid little certificate thing that means nothing because it's SIXTH GRADE - and a girl who I had known semi-well, Holly Brown, had her own moment of fame when I misread her card and said Halle Berry.
All in all sixth grade sucks.
Sorry I'm lame and don't have other good first's to talk about. But now you know me
