1 First time you cooked for someone else?
I honestly cannot remember (cooking never interested me enough to think about it) but I can guarantee that f it was more complicated than baked beans on toast (does bakes beans on toast count?) it didn't go well...

2. First time you threw up in someone else's toilet?
To be honest I don't think I ever have.

3. First time you did anything illegal?
I am boringly law-abiding (I sometimes suspect that it is mostly because I know that if I tried anything criminal I I couldn't keep my story straight and would be caught in five minutes flat, master criminal I am not) and it was probably speeding. I have had a few tickets for that over the years...

4. First time you saw snow/the ocean (whichever is more exotic)?
Snow was when we went to Europe for the first big trip with me as Sis, and it was snowing lightly in York and heavily in Zurich. I cannot say I am in favour, it's pretty but it's cold. I vaguely remember flying over the ocean as a child and peeking out from the plane, but given how young I was I tend to suspect the memory may not be real (the drawback of knowing you're imaginative is sometimes the mental pictures are questionable.)

5. First thought when I say "crumple-horned snorcack"?
It's no sillier than some of the real animal names I have seen, is it real or alien/fantasy?? (looks up... oh yeah, I've not read all the series)
