The Friday Five on a Sunday

1. First time you cooked for someone else?

I don't remember. I would have been an adult. My family didn't teach me to cook. I could bake a cake or cookies by the time I left home, but I couldn't make a meal. It was likely to have been something very simple, like pasta with sauce, or a grilled cheese sandwich.

2. First time you threw up in someone else's toilet?

I haven't thrown up very many times in my life, and have mostly done so at home, once or twice outside. I really hate vomiting.

3. First time you did anything illegal?

This will be something very boring, like breaking the speed limit.

4. First time you saw snow/the ocean (whichever is more exotic)?

Lol, I grew up next to the ocean. I was eight when I first saw snow, at my maternal grandparents’ house. It was magical. The flakes were huge and diverse, and I can remember marvelling at the silence as they fell.

5. First thought when I say "crumple-horned snorcack"?

My brain conjures something that looks a bit like Allie Brosh's Alot.

I was the opposite on the snow/ocean exotic - I grew up with a lot of snow but I didn't see the ocean until I was 12 and moved to New York. It was amazing. I never been in salt water before, so that part was very weird when it got to be summer.

Honestly even simple meals that someone cooks for someone else can be so nice.

I’m glad vomiting isn’t something you do frequently. I agree that it’s really unpleasant!

My grandmother retired to the seaside when I was an infant, and snow basically happened every winter at some point here, so neither are "exotic" to me. (These days snow feels rarer than when I was a child, but also mostly annoying/inconvenient/dangerous than exciting.)
