First Loves Blogfest

I'm happy to join Alex Cavanaugh's Four First Loves Blogfest today. We'll be talking about our first love in movie, song/band, book and person. It sounded easy when I registered with this challenge but coming to write about it, I find that my memory is failing me. But after a bit of digging around in my memory bank, I've selected the following to share with you.

Song: Interlude (Time is like a dream)


I don't think I've seen this movie but the romantic voice of the singer and the simplicity of the lyrics have made a lasting impression in my mind. "What seems like an interlude now could be the beginning of love..." Life is short and we should treasure every moment together with our loved ones.

Movie: Somewhere In Time



This movie explains why I love time travel stories so much. There are so many possibilities if time travel is feasible in life. This is a very romantic movie and both Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour were wonderful in it.

Book: Pride and Prejudice

I think you won't be surprised that Pride and Prejudice was my first love. This is the first book I bought using money I earned from my first summer job. I heard a radio drama of it when I was younger but it ended in the middle of the story, with Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet tore apart with the news of elopement of Elizabeth's sister. I often wondered why the story felt unfinished and I was happy to find the book in a library, giving a very happy and satisfying ending. I loved it so much that when I earned some money from my first summer job, I bought my first copy of it. Since then, I've bought several different editions and it remains my favourite book. Why? The constancy of love is most appealing to me. 

Person
Who is my first love? Mother? Father? Siblings? Boyfriends? Hmm, difficult to choose. But one of the best memories I had was playing on my father's lap. I pretended to be a shop keeper and tried to sell food to myself. It sounded silly now but I think I had heaps of fun then. No wonder I love food so much...

What are your first loves?
