What was your very first job? 
Submitted by Laurel.

Haha, this is a good one.  I was a "student technician" in high school.  Which meant I worked for the school district doing basic upkeep of all the computers in all of the classrooms at the local elementary schools.  It was a pretty cool job b/c my bosses were really chill and didn't really supervise me that closely (they thought I was responsible; haha!), so basically all I did was upload some software, and sit back and let the computers do their thing (oh, and I got my college application essay done too)!

How did you meet your best friend(s)?

Well, like I said in the qot'd from a while back (the one about people you havent kept in touch with)... I have a new best friend every time I start a new phase of my life.. new school, new residence,....  So I guess it'd be fair to say I met most of my best friends from the past at school or through my sorority.

I met my boyfriend (he counts as a friend right?) at school.  We were in the same first-year section, which meant we had pretty much every single class together.  Apparently he had been stalking me since school started.  Honestly, I didn't even know he existed; I just randomly butted into a conversation w/ a group of people; I knew one of them and they were gossiping about professors, so obviously I wanted in.  Then I started noticing that these guys kept saying hi to me.  I just thought I was hot stuff, and kinda started wondering what rumors were going around about me.... law school is a lot like high school.  Eventually, I figured out the guys saying hi to me was really just one guy.  I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't all that popular after all, but then I figured out this guy was the class clown who always had some smart-ass comment to make in Contracts.  We eventually started chatting before and after class, and I started sending him psychic messages during classes, convincing him to ask me out.  Apparently my psychic abilities worked, and he eventually asked me out... via a resume and cover letter detailing his qualifications for a position as my date for dinner.  Which came just as I was starting to freak out about not having a summer job (which he knew all about from his stalking).

The friends I've managed to keep (i.e., the friends that can't get rid of me!) are mostly family!  I met my one loyal reader when I was something like two days old... and she tried to bite off my arm!  (I have proof, issim, dont even try to deny it.)  But she was just three months old so I guess I can't really blame her too much.
