Okay so post your first loves – first movie, first song/band, first book, and first person. Four loves, one blogfest!
First Film: Remember I was a teenager in the 1970's and I feel head over heels for Superman. (Then I did again when the Dean Cain Terri Hatcher series came out decades later). I even swooned over the post in my bedroom every night.
First Book: No surprises here as I have already blogged about this one. I read it at the age of 17 yrs and it was the first and only novel I read in 4 hours from cover to cover.
First Song: I enjoy songs with lyrics I can join in with.
My first fav pop group/ album was definitely ABBA. However, like so many girls of my age, I also loved the Osmonds and one of my favourites was sung by the lovely Merril.

Love me for a Reason
First Love: I was 5 yrs old and was being bullied in the playground by a group of girls and a little boy with red hair called Mark came to my aid and allowed me to join his friends at playtime. He was my hero and I will always love him for showing me such kindness. He gave me my first Valentine and made me feel special.
What were your first loves?

That note from Mark is waaaay too adorable! Love it :) Thanks for sharing your first loves! I signed up at the last minute, and will post my contribution a little later on when I'm at home.
ReplyDeleteHee hee, I was SO in love with Dean Cain when he was Superman!
ReplyDeleteaw, I love the story of your first love. That's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Madeleine, for a lovely post and much reminiscing. I was madly in love with Merrill Osmond and have so enjoyed watching them perform Love Me For A Reason for the first time in years. x
ReplyDeleteAhhh what a lovely story about Mark. I also like songs that I can sing along to.
ReplyDeleteSuperman is a great choice. Just saw that the other day. Great movie.
ReplyDeleteGreat movie! One of my favorites of all time
ReplyDeleteMy sister had the biggest crush on Donny Osmond when we were kids. We even had to paint the bedroom we shared purple, because she said it was his favorite color.
ReplyDeleteSuperman and Abba in the same post? Love you taste!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hero! - You first love should be given an award!
It's amazing to be able to recall such events. Am not being that sentimental to keep track myself. Great write-up, Madeleine!

Visiting from the First Loves Blogfest. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Abba. My parents had one of their albums and my sister and I would play it over and over and dance and sing in the living room. Have you seen Priscilla, Queen of the Desert? Oh, and Superman- loved that movie as well as the Lois and Clark show. What ever happened to that show? Great first love story- how sweet.

ABBA is great. I love how their music has never really gone away.
ReplyDeleteMark sounded like such a sweetheart. Standing up for you at that age, what a nice little boy.
Loved all your 'firsts' - from superhero to playground hero :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great rest of the day!
Loved all your firsts, especially the letter from, Mark.
ReplyDelete"Superman"! I loved that one too!

I had a crush on superman too. And ABBA. Great list.
ReplyDeleteI loved the story of your 5 yr old crush. Its so cute. Thanks for sharing your first loves!
ReplyDeleteAndrea
Aw, you still have that note?? So cute!
ReplyDeleteSuperman was a fun movie. Bet it looks dated now, so I'll just keep my memories intact.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in my blogfest!
My mom used to call in and request Abba's Super Trooper for me because apparently, it was my toddler favorite song. I don't remember that at all, but have discovered I like it now.
ReplyDeleteSuperman is a great film. I went through an ABBA phase in 1992-ish when yet another greatest hits album was released - the perfect way to dance away exam stress!
ReplyDeleteSUPERMAN! Nice choice. And I haven't read The Millstone (hides face in shame).
ReplyDeleteSuperman is always a good pick.
ReplyDeleteAs is ABBA. ^_^
Superman also makes me swoon.
ReplyDeleteI need to look into The Millstone. I've never heard of it.
The story about your first love (person) is so sweet. Great post :)
ReplyDeleteNow I want to read The Millstone-added to my TBR!
ReplyDeleteSweet; you're playing to my old heart :)
ReplyDelete.......dhole
Those Superman movies are so fun! As is ABBA. :) Great choices!
ReplyDeleteHey Maddy that note is priceless. Love Abba. Love watching the Mumma MIA movie. Superman was great too. Must read that book.
ReplyDeleteDenise
Superman was mine, too! I was in third grade, and every once in a while, my teacher let us read the magazines in her classroom. I'd always choose the one with the full page Superman picture and swoon. (But only when I was sure no one was looking. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd that love letter is adorable!!
I love ABBA! And aw, the story of your 5-year-old rescue by red-headed Mark. Sweet! Thanks for a fun post!
ReplyDeleteOh bless you all for stopping by. Yes Mark was a real sweetie and I often wonder where he is now and what sort of life he's had.
ReplyDeleteAaaw, how sweet was Mark?
ReplyDeleteAwww. Superman was rocking!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet story, Madeleine - and you still have the note!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet, I loved your first love story, and admire such a young boy being so kind! I hope he grew up to be a wonderful man!

Superman was on my list, as well. They don't make a lot of movies, these days, that can capture the imagination like this one did. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteAh, I love your first person love! Everyone needs a hero. How sweet.
