Ok, so a while ago I did this, and just got to filling out my end of it all. But, I liked it so much that I thought I'd bump it up here -- and if you'd like to put your name on the list, you can just comment here and I will:

1. Respond with something random about you.
2. Tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. Pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in. I reserve the right to name a champion.
4. Say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. Tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. Tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. 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.

1. Respond with something random about you.
The path which led me to meeting you was a very winding one indeed. In a somewhat simplified form, you are my older sister's best friend's childhood friend's college room-mate's ex-significant other, and were I to know the origin of that 'significant other' bit, I'm sure it could be expanded further.

2. Tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
'Swell' and 'Hush' by Angie Aparo.

3. Pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in. I reserve the right to name a champion.
You get Grape jello, and I'd wrestle you myself; odds are we'd both disolve into giggles.

4. Say something that only makes sense to you and me.
Uhm, well... the only thing I can think of is that, in my Anthologies, the Snippet about the guy and the girl and the tennis ball is, I think, the only one who's date does not line up with the rest of it all. There's really only two people who can understand the reason why.

5. Tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
-laughs- Uhm, well, wow, I can't say I really know. I associate you with my journal, simply, because it seems you've always been here, in one form or another, silently or otherwise.

6. Tell you what animal you remind me of.
Oh, come on. Bumble bee. How could I not?

7. Ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
It's mostly a hypothetical question, but not really, I guess... Why are you so quiet and guarded? You're one of those friends which I have whom I always want to get to know better, but who is always so... quiet. I've known you for years now, and in ways I feel we hardly know each other. So, why?

OK, yeah, that may be the hardest question I've asked anyone. The rules don't compel you to answer me, though.

8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written.
The rules do compel this, though, dear. Can't get you out of that one. You knew the risks when you took the job.

1. Respond with something random about you.
You are deceptively intelligent, and probably one of the smartest people I know.

2. Tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
Ha ha, "Cocoa Jumbo" and "Tubthumping." Car rides to Cross Country were always an adventure!

3. Pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in. I reserve the right to name a champion.
Coconut jello. 'Cause it's clear. And I'd wrestle you myself.

4. Say something that only makes sense to you and me.
Erm, with Leslie and Jenny both around here, I may be hard pressed to think of something that only makes sense to you and I... Yeah, I'm drawing a blank. You have any ideas?

5. Tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
The furthest back I can remember you was either (a) at my birthday party where an idiot friend of mine tried getting you to play 'Spin the Bottle,' or at Jenny's birthday party where Little Timmy was goosing all the girls...

6. Tell you what animal you remind me of.
Mmmmm. This is kind of a tough one. My first impulse was 'raven,' with it's symbolism of knowledge and such, but then I also thought 'lioness,' because, well, what's she got that you don't? And I like cats.

7. Ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
Wow, something I've always wondered about Beth...? Well, this isn't really an 'always,' but... You're a nice girl, smart, pretty, funny (at times :p), and you've had quite an interesting succession of relationships. So, I guess my question is just: what is it you're looking for?

8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written.

Yes, I finally got around to reading your live journal. This post looked quite intriguing, so I had to comment on it, adding my name to the list. ;-) ~Meghan

Well, you cheated, not having a Journal and all, but...

1. Respond with something random about you.
You are, quite possibly, on the opposite end of the spectrum from everyone else here on my journal, save a few (like Eileen).

2. Tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
Erm, I don't know that I've known you long enough to really associate anything with you... Though some bits of 'Sinking' by the Cruxshadows are applicable. But only some. Maybe I'll find something better sometime.

3. Pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in. I reserve the right to name a champion.
-laughs- You wresting in jello. Ha! Uhm, well, we'll pick lime, 'cause why not, and I'll name your little sister as my champion, 'cause that'd just be funny to watch.

4. Say something that only makes sense to you and me.
The Trenchmore is a really fun dance, but I think it's grandeur is diminished by fighter-plane noises...

5. Tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
Mmmm, I think it would be walking into Contra sometime, what, last year? You were there, being blonde and quiet. I introduced myself, as I felt comfortable there, and dancing ensued. I think you were wearing yellow, but I may be wrong.

6. Tell you what animal you remind me of.
Erm... again with the associations. But my first thought was 'pigeon.' I have no idea why, but I'm sure Freud and Jung could have a field day with it.

7. Ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
OK, so, we once had a discussion, in rather broken form, about Dating/Courtship vs. Friendship. It's a point of contemplation for me, and while I think you agreed with me than an ideal Relationship grows from and extends on a good friendship, you held that it's not a blurred point. So, while I may be stretching the "always wondered" bit, I'm curious how it is that you think Courtship and Friendship are specifically differentiated. Show all your work, circle your answer, and points are taken off for spelling.

8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written.
An implicit clause in this last point is that you must make a Journal in which to post it. I highly recommend LiveJournal, as it's a lot easier for me to keep track of than Xanga or Blogspot. And you can meet all my other friends, like Anastasiya, and Leslie, and such.
