1. As one of my oldest friends, this point hardly seems to matter properly. Though it is comforting to know that even if I hear from you rarely, posting something on LJ will catch your eye fairly quickly :)
2. I've already picked a song for you, I'm not sure whether you'd warrant a piece of Escher or erzebet . . . so let's go with fruit. I associate you with an artichoke. That you were the first person ever to convince me to eat some may or may not have anything to do with it.
3. I like your complexity, your eloquence, and your ability to spin a tale. I could go on, but that's already three :)
4. I remember sitting in the hold of a ship* at a wooden table** ignoring the blaring music from above and being introduced to a girl who is still to this day the only person who has managed to do the Sign Seeker's Chant with me in unison.
Other memories, in shorter form: Most College Day Ever! You dressed as a nun, singing like an angel. And many a chanukkah at your house.
5. It is not perfect, but I lack a better idea at the moment. I reserve the right to amend it later, but for the moment: Starling Birdsong.
6. I'm feeling quirky. How much would you give up in order to be in perfect health (pain-free, able to easily fall asleep for a whole night, and anything else I'm missing)?
7. I can't decide between the Wimseys. I like the quote, but I like the other picture better . . .
*A living ship? No, unfortunately not. **A hard wood, it was clearly worn and had been refinished several times. It was cracked, and had splintered more than once. The benches weren't all that comfortable either.

What, do I have to work up to them?

Strictly speaking, I think the artichoke is a vegetable: but I'll take it.

Damn it, that was going to be my memory for you. : )

What would I have to give up? Is the price where I live, or what I can do, or more folkloric things, like memories or the ability to love?
What, do I have to work up to them? No, I more meant I couldn't pick between the two . . . clearly my phrasing could've used work
Damn it, that was going to be my memory for you. : ) First mover's advantage? Yay going first :)
I meant what would you be willing to give up. Assume there was a Djinn with powers as vast as necessary, but you can only make one offer. If he decides you aren't giving up enough, he vanishes and you get nothing . . .

I would give up my current career in grad school if my health would recover on the grounds that, once healthy, I should be able to restart elsewhere. If that didn't do it, however, I would be screwed . . .
