Tunes in my head: Crazy by R.E.M.
Atmosphere: Thoughtful
"...discuss: 1st time"
Someone sent me this message on MSN about twenty minutes ago. It got me thinking, and we discussed how the first time of an experience is always the most potent. Sex, drugs, love, bungee jumping, anything.
And why is that? Do we lose a part of ourselves the first time we try something? Maybe.
Anything we try more than once is merely an attempt to recreate that first experience.
Discuss.

My first time in love ended badly.
My first time having sex ended badly.
The first time I got drunk I ran into a tree...That was pretty funny.
The first time you do something you don't know what to expect because it's the first time, or you have certain expectations of what it will be like. Either way, you end up getting an adrenaline rush with the thought of finally doing something.
The second, third etc. times round, it isn't the same because you know what to expect but it's never the same as the first time. It can be better or worse. If it's worse, you still have the first memory. If it's better, you have two memories to enjoy now. =]
The first time of anything just has that....intensity. Magic, if you will. You have absolutely no experience of it, and it all just hits you out of nowhere. Beforehands, you're suddenly anxious, wondering what will happen, fearing the worst, but anticipating the best.
I think any other time is just to recreate that sense of raw emotion. Trying to bring back the magix.
