take it.
Last time someone criticised your work Happens on a regular basis. First person you’d thank in an award acceptance speech Obama.
First movie you ever went on a date to No idea. Cinema is a terrible place to date. No talking. Last time you cried My dad’s funeral.

First crush Liza, a girl in my primary school. Ended up giving her a black eye. She pitched, I was batting. Ball straight in the eye. Surprisingly, I never got with her. Last book you read Am reading Keith Richards autobiography, Life. Might as well know a little about what I’m getting myself into.
First great piece of advice you were given Real friends will never be a hindrance to you.
