1. D Bench! D Hug! D Klein! 2. School Ties, because we watched it after the SN spring formal senior year with you sitting with me on the bed instead of with your date, because your date had forgotten your name. Oh yeah, and because you talked about how much it reminded you of Allentown at the beginning, with the shots of factories in Scranton. 3. This is just a bad, bad idea. I'll say the cheapest flavor, because I'd want a whole lot of jello, so that you don't get hurt. 4. See, this is tough because most, if not all, things that would only make sense to you and me have become fairly well known among our circle of friends. I'll go for this: [bursting out laughing while standing in the Sigma Nu parking lot after seeing The Matrix Revolutions 5. You interviewing me for the D at the Election Night party in Rocky freshman year. 6. Do I really have to choose? 7. When was the first time you heard the name Sebastian, and how instant was your adoration of it?
7 -- You know, I really don't remember. You've never been to my house in Allentown, but when I was small, my mom found this giraffe statue at a Puerto Rican store in the Exported Bronx. She loved and brought it home. It sits in our front hall, and it wears bows at Christmas. She named it Sebastian. I have always been equally fond of it. My father doesn't understand the wonderfulness of the giraffe at all.
1. Knitting. Lots of knitting. 2. Forget Paris 3. Orange 4. "I'm ready to go Office Space on this thing!" 5. Cracking jokes during my mighty struggle with the copier at Triumph. 6. Owl (duh). 7. You really walked out into the street to test me?
1. You're a lot more excitable in writing than in person, at least, from what I've seen. 2. Rocky, because my idea to go ice skating when we went on a date was directly inspired by Rocky and Adrian going ice skating in the movie. 3. Orange. No particular reason, just because. 4. Sorry about that whole Nerf Herder incident. 5. The aforementioned date last December ('04). 6. Ferret is the obvious answer, and since nothing else is coming to me... 7. How many people make Princess Bride references when they hear you fence, and does it bug you?
1. Best Directorate Essay EVER. 2. Gladiator 3. To borrow your own answer, green Dartmouth "power jello." Or did we wind up calling it "war jello?" 4. Slowly, in the dark. (Figured I may as well finish what you started) 5. I know that I met you in band before we went to see Gladiator, but I don't have any specific memories

6. Oh man, I've met super-friendly cats (like a cat that would go and rub itself up against a large dog that it hadn't met before), as well as cats that don't even like their owners, and dogs that are kind of shy... but anyway, I get your analogy :)
7. Well, I never really care which seat I'm in, how good anyone thinks I am, or how good even I think I am, as long as I'm making music and having fun. I really wasn't insulted at all. For the most part, it was just really really awkward that you were so upset about something that I didn't give a shit about, didn't initiate, and had no power to change. It was also kind of difficult being your friend and wanting to help you but being kind of shut out. You have no idea how happy I am that you were able to get through this though. I know from experience that it can be very difficult to change one's personality, even with counseling and that sort of thing.
I also remember being really surprised at the promotion, because I went through all of freshman winter feeling like I wasn't good enough to be in the group.

6-- No, you don't.

Also, Brideshead Revisited was key.
