Ahhh yes. I remember it well. It was a little box dug underground as the sort of main room, but I put all my time and effort instead into making a giant dirt tower thing as high as I could go. I can't remember what it was for, but I could say I had a giant dirt tower thing. Then I built cobblestone walls around the tower and the underground room, added battlements, felt accomplished. Then I turned the difficulty to normal, and the first that happened was a skeleton killing me by standing on a hill overlooking the wall.
I had a little cobblestone shack by a hole or something. Yeah, I had help with all of the crafting and stuff, so I had cobblestone by nightfall.
I set up on a beautiful beach that had a wonderful seaside view and surrounded myself with those little tiki-torches. I felt safe and sound even at night, until a swimming creeper made me homeless 
I wanted to be a bit different, so I built a pyramid of dirt, then dug under and hollowed it out fromt he inside. then I made it so it had a door.
Heh, I got it completely wrong and got stuck at the top of a mountain at night - instead of tunnelling, I carefully fortified the mountain top... well, ok, I ran around in circles spamming torches and punching creepers in the face screaming 'why?!', but by sunrise that mountain-top was encircled by a 2 block high wall of dirt and covered in feathers and bones from the dead. That was a good first nightoplinger said:
These days I've been getting a decent mining bunker, complete with front door, set up in the first day - aiming to get glazing around the door sharpish for security. It takes a surprisingly small amount of time to get the first steps done - especially if there's an exposed coal seam nearby!
started off as a dug out in the side of a small island. I later flattened the whole island down and turned it into a castle with a lighthouse and on-roof farm.
Later added a dock for my boat, and expanded the island so i could walk to the mainland etc.

A mud cube precariously constructed on the top of a huge cliff face. When I knocked the front out to check if it was morning I caught the attention of three creepers who then proceeded to blow said mud cube and part of the cliff into the sea. I died.
i built a hole in the ground on the beach because i saw creepers and sealed with wood. from a tree.
my first real home was a few feet from that on a hill i built it above ground with wooden blocks first a built a sky platform then expanded one i figured out how to make pick axe and turn wooden blocks into wood. What got me though was when i built it above the ground with no connection to the ground and went to bed, skeletons spawned in my sleep in my bed. That is just stupid

I spotted a mountain with a large cavity dug through the center, so I made the trek there and started building within and around that mountain. There are three rooms: the main shelter, the bedroom and the throne room, in ascending order. The majority of the house hangs out in the air around the mountain. I didn't want to ruin it.
I also ran a pretty expansive mine through the bottom on the mountain.

I built a modestly sized castle, only about 30x30 blocks or so. I took a while to figure out two way switches for doors, but I got there in the end.
2 floors at 3 rooms per floor, an obsidian bedroom, a basement, a roof, a glass wing, and am currently digging out one side into a mob proof cliff, by making the the ground a dozen blocks below the floor of my base.
Also, a pain in the arse, the underwater base- took me a couple hours to drain one small room of water.

I had heard a little bit of how to start your game from a friend of mine.
I cut down a few trees, ran to the nearest 'mountain' and found a little cave in the side of it. I walked in, and luckily found A LOT of coal, boarded up the open areas with stone and dirt, and lit a few torches.
Then the zombies, creepers, and skeletons came and I cried a little.

My first house was about a 3x3x3 room surrounded by stone. Just enough space for a crafting table, stove, and chest. I eventually built a tower above it with spiraling stairs, but it didn't amount to much.
Great question, though. Funny thinking back on the days when I didn't understand that you have to dig DOWN to find materials...
Edit: and by down I of course don't mean straight down. That would be suicide.
