Here are the responses for the quizzy whatever thing that's going around like a virus that I've gotten from my friends. The questions were:
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.

1. You entered the Rat's Ass, had a drink, and lived to tell the tail...
2. Bowling for Soup, because you are always playing them
3. Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster or however that genius named it, jello
4. botany with Prof Case *shudders* but the cartoons *gleeful grin*
5. Reading Tolkien in a circle outside on a beautiful friday afternoon, sections from the Silmarilion.
6. a falcon, i don't know why.
7. why the Silmarilion over LotR?
Answer: I'll be brief here; there are quite a few reasons, but some of the ones I can think of right now are 1) Tolkien balances the telling of a world history and the telling of individual stories masterfully, and does so on a greater scale than he does in LotR (which is just one story, though it covers multiple characters), 2) I became so familiar with LotR that, as I imagine they might have for some of the LotR characters, the stories of the Silmarillion became my epics, my romantic and idyllic fantasies of far-off days and people in a land infused with much more magic and wonder than my own. The attraction that draws most fantasy-fiction fans to a book for me transcended LotR and was engulfed in the Silmarillion.

1. You weigh less than I do, but can still throw me over your shoulder.
2. I dunno, anything by Ben Folds.
3. Blood!
4. So! You don't like our ass wine, do you?
5. The guy in the front row reading the Silmarillion in CS 243. (Augh that was a horrible class, I don't blame you one bit.)
6. A velociraptor!
7. Do you think you would ever break from the Church entirely?
Answer: There's a possibility of that I think, yes. It's been my experience that religious organization can cause people to assume they don't have to think for themselves, which I don't like. However, the most likely reason for me to disassociate myself from the Church would be the continued preaching of idiotic intolerance.

1. You so diiiiiiiirty.
2. Buckaroo Banzai
3. Passion Fruit :)
4. Did we *ever* have any real work in Programming Languages?
5. Sitting in 141, talking about something Geeq-ish in one of those first meetings we had.
6. Racoon? It's the first animal to come to mind, so that doesn't count...
Maybe a hawk. Yeah.
7. Do you have any big regrets in your life? Best I can come up with- we've talked about a lot of other things I've wondered.
Answer: Too many to list here; ask me sometime in person and we can talk about it if you like.

1. You reserve the right to be miserable without meddlesome people trying to cheer you up all the time (bastards)
2. Cowboy Bebop, of course. Inextricably tied to you in my mind.
3. David Bowie flavored jello. Because that's so not gay.
4. "I love hangin' with you, man."
5. The guy in the green hat at the GeeQ meetings who I always confused with the other Jasomething guy.
6. A giant cock, of course.
7. Why is nobody having sex with James right now? I'd expect there to be a line outside his door...
Answer: Uh...I can't really answer this; it'd take someone of the female persuasion to do that.
