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.  I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
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 might post this on your journal. If you've the time to do it justice, that is.

1. Three syllables, stress on the middle one.
2. The movie (Cronenberg version) that is the story of every serious romantic relationship I've ever had!
3. The only way jello could be made worse...(I've an intense aversion to raspberries. Other berries are fine, but raspberries? Ick!)
4. Likewise.
5. That is indeed so. I think mrshamill's soiree is the only time we've met in person.
6. huh.
7. Initially? I was interested in retroviruses as transposable genetic elements, but the grad program I ended up with had no retrovirologists. It did, however, have some fly people, and flies have transposible genetic elements, so, same topic, different system. Later, I found that I really liked flies (elegant powerful genetics, cheap and easy to work with, can be used to address the same molecular questions as higher organisms, and no one throws blood at you or pickets your house when you work with flies) and I really liked the fly community (what a bunch of wacky weirdos. And the gene names ARE hilarious; we give our genes names like "shaven baby" and "i'm not dead yet" and "mothers against decapentaplegic" and "daughterless" [where the C. elegans people give their genes names like "unc-27" and the mammal people give names like "PSD95"]).
