1. Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. A drink I'd drink with you.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written.

answers from the delightful miss b (or should that be e? or l?):
1. You talk with determination, and that's kool.
2. 'Somebody Told Me' by The Killers. I really have no idea how I associated that with you.
3. Maybe...jelly vodka shots. Blue ones. Best of both the worlds of jelly and alcohol.
4. Sorry about the frequent linguistic serenading that you have to endure from us language nerds that hang out in your corridor.
5. Fire twirling. Very kool.
6. A tropical fish, swimming around with bright colours and bright eyes.
7. I had been wondering where your office was, but I've since figured that one out. Back up pondering: if nothing was an obstacle, what do you want to be when you grow up?

i think it is acceptable to read byron while drinking absinthe. maybe one would also wear a fez?

I would get a fez and wear a fez if I were drinking absinthe with you reading poetry to me.

I was at the Re Store this afternoon, peering into mezcal bottles at the pickled worms and scorpions. I've always wanted to try mezcal, but now I think it'd take more than poetry and a fez to get me to drink scorpion juice. :/

oh! i would love to play poetry and fezes (?) and absinthe.

but...what if it didn't live up to my dream? i would cry.

scorpions, huh? i'm almost tempted...

Scorpions in bottles remind me of museums, not hardened drinking. I think you would have to wear a fez to drink mezcal with a scorpion. Or have a moustache and wear a sombrero.

If you didn't live up to expectations and cried, you'd be able to write a fantastic poem all about it. And I'm sure you'd look rather fetching if you were crying and writing angry poetry. You can't lose. ;)

Wow. Mezcal and absinthe, both in a fez. I'll get double-bonus drinking points. (and, probably, a hangover.)
