Instructions: "On May 14, post your first loves – first movie, first song/band, first book, and first person. Four loves, one blogfest!"
Sounds simple enough! Here we go...
First movie I loved: C'mon you guys know this one...
Short Circuit! Followed by Ghostbusters, Karate Kid II, *Batteries Not Included, etc. ;)

First song/band I loved:
That’s easy. “Color Blind” from
Michael W. Smith’s Change Your World
album. I wore out two cassette tapes, listening to that song. Aside
from a great message, it had this contagious energy to it. After school,
I’d come home and pop in my sister’s VHS tape of the tour. I can’t tell you how many
hours of my life were spent dancing around my living room, pretending I was on
that stage. :)
(Song starts at 1:34)
First book I loved: Puppy
Peek-a-boo by Lisa McCue. It was one of those hard books with little lift flaps and cut-outs. Hours of fun, I tell you. Hours!
First person people I loved:
Why my family, of course. ♥
Sorry, all of
my boyfriends have been complete and utter a-hats. ;)
Your turn! Tell us about your first loves. :)
(And if you have time, please check out the other posts in the 'fest!)
Thanks for the fun, Ninja Captain!

Great choices - especially Short Circuit! :D
I have Short Circuit on DVD and I still watch it. They just don't make movies like they used to, do they?!
Puppy Peek a Boo, looks cute! Yes I remember Short Circuit, good choice!
I don't think I ever saw Short Circuit, but Ghostbusters and Karate Kid were some of my favorites.
Short Circuit! Yes!
Cassette tapes! Oh, the days...
Your family - that is sweet!
Thanks for participating in my blogfest.
Honestly, I don't remember Short Circuit ...
Karate Kid was awesome and the new version with Jackie Chan is pretty good too.
Good one on the "people" you first loved lol
Given the fine print, I think you need an A-hat detector to weed them out before you get involved!
Nice post, thanks for sharing!
Great stuff! I just realized that my kids haven't seen Short Circuit yet. I need to fix that.
Looking back, I like to pay tribute to the song "Dancing Queen" by ABBA. And hopefully, Carrie, you still take breaks from writing and dance in your living room. Do you put songs in your novel? Like the MC listens to this song on the radio. My novels are full with songs.
What, you didn't love that D-Bag that took you to so many dances? ;)
Wow, I remember Puppy Peek-a-boo! *queue music* "Memories..." I've still never seen Short Circuit. What am I missing, Carrie?
Number 5... is alive!
We all love something...right!

OMGosh! Short circuit is a great choice! My hubby loves that film. We rewatched it recently, and I was reminded of how awesome it is.
That has to be the only thing I know about that movie. -_-
I loooove short circuit, didn't you think Wall-E stole a lot from that movie? Of course ghostbusters is still awesome, they will probably do a remake of that. And Karate Kid they already had.. pretty good movie but I still like the originals :) Thanks for sharing!

Short Circuit was AWESOME! My first love movie was Charlotte's Web even though the ending traumatized me for life (hmm . . . maybe that's why I write dark stuff). First song? I don't know but my first band love was Fleetwood Mac. First book was The Monster at the End of This Book hands down and first love? My dads. Gotta go with the dads.
I must ahve lived a deprived life because I've seen at least five moies on this first loves that I missed out on in my childhood. Short Circuit makes number six.
Johnnie Five. My kids and I enjoyed many showing of Short Circut.
Thanks, Kyra! I consider it a classic. :D
Haha! Short Circuit :D I should have gotten that from your previous post with your clip. I can't watch that movie. The stupid robot makes me cry every time. I know I'm pathetic, lol
Me too! :) Oh, I know. It's such a shame. (Though, I wonder if I would enjoy similarly made films without the nostalgia factor...)
I love Short Circuit.
Thanks, C.M.! :)
Aww, you should watch it sometime! It's funny in that cheesy '80s kind of way. :)
Absolutely! :D
Days filled with rewinding. ;) Thanks for stopping by, D.G.!
Thanks, Alex! No problem. It was fun. :D
Thanks, Juliana! I haven't seen the new Karate Kid yet. I'll have to check it out. :)
I agree! Maybe I should start running prospects by the writing community first. *Grins*
Thank you!
Oo, yes. Pass it on to the next generation! ;)
Hah! Yeah. Weird, right? *Grins*
Good song! Yes, I still dance around from time to time. :)
I have a few subtle references in mine. Nothing too specific. :)
Yes! You're the first person to recognize Puppy Peek-a-boo. :D
Oh, Nancy. You're missing a lot of cheesy '80s goodness. Better get on that! ;)
@HWR - Heck yes! :D Thanks for stopping by!
@Aldrea - Sounds like a good excuse to watch it. ;)
You guys sound like my kind of people! If I could, I'd crash your next movie night. :D
I think I'm the only person alive who hasn't seen Wall-E. I'll have to remedy that and compare! :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Heck yeah! I knew there was a reason we get along so well. *Grins*
If that's the case, I should appreciate Charlotte's Web more. I love your dark writing. :D
The Monster at the End of This Book is a classic! I still have it on my bookshelf. ;) Great answer for the last one, too!
That sounds like a great excuse for a movie night, Melanie. ;) Thanks for stopping by!
Excellent! :D
Yeah! C'mon, Victoria... *Grins*
Oh, I'm like that with some movies. (*Cough* The Land Before Time. *Cough*) Perfectly understandable. :)
You have great taste! :D
I totally forgot about Color Blind. LOVE MWS's funky steampunkerish glasses.
Now that song is stuck in my head. *hums the ABCs*
He was trendy ahead of his time! *Grins*
Great choices, some very new to me! Wonderful post!
Sharing the Love!
