First thing that you did (If you stayed up what you did at midnight or if you didn't what you did when you woke up): got up and had breakfast?? also I woke up in the middle of the night, and at that point I just lay in bed and thought. I also said "rabbit rabbit" because it was the first of January :)

First meal: Toast, scrambled eggs with special sauce, and a tangerine - and a glass of milk.

First thing read: hmmm.... probably The Summer Switch by Mary Rodgers, which is very funny, or else my textbook which I was trying to catch up on, or else some stuff I'd written?? I also took a look at some books from the library, but I didn't really read them, just looked at the pictures and so on.

First words after happy new year, if you can remember: Possibly "Yay!"?

First time going outside, and why: I went outside in the backyard - for exercise.

First music listened too: "Volvamonos a Enamorar" by Fonseca - after that I did "2005", "Arroyito," and "Hace Tiempo," also by Fonseca.

First thing you wrote: probably a CB post, or else re-typing some old writing.

First fresh outift of the year: Yesterday I just wore a deep purple mock turtleneck and some olive corduroys; today, aforementioned corduroys and a white turtleneck (it's cold around here...) But I'd like to wear my blue swirly-patterned top and my light blue jeans.

First thing posted on the CB: Probably my post on Agent 59's ski lodge.

First thing drawn, or even just doodles: Nothing yet haha... Or no wait, that's not true. I made a birthday card for my friend. It has three candles, a colorful watercolor background, and crayon letters spelling out "happy birthday" :)

Other: this is really fun! thanks for doing it, @WildWolf :)
