You MUST (motherfucker).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, I posted my name, and this is what she wrote (my comments are in italics):<\/p>\n<p>1. Do you still have a scruffy beard? I liked it. <i>Sure do.  I trim it back on the weekends, so it&#8217;s fairly neat on Monday, but definitely scruffy by Friday.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>2. An indie film, but I&#8217;m not sure which because you have an air of educated to you. Something interesting if you can grasp it.  <i>eXistenZ, maybe?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>3. Lemon (it doesn&#8217;t get nearly as many props as it should. I like lemon.)<br \/>\n<i>I&#8217;d be a little nervous to wrestle you, and besides, I&#8217;m supposed to stay away from fruit and desserts on my diet.  \ud83d\ude42  <\/i><\/p>\n<p>4. Mix-tapes &#038; Kittyhawk CD (which I still have and still listen to.)  <i>They&#8217;d be glad to hear that, but the last time I emailed them they never wrote back.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>5. Your introduction post on RDT.  <i>Which I don&#8217;t remember at all.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>6. Dr. Harmon. He isn&#8217;t an animal, well he is a person so he is, but he reminds me of you in some ways.<\/p>\n<p>7. If you could do anything you wanted to do without any consequences at all, what would it be?  <i>Quit my frickin&#8217; job, which has been driving me crazy these last three weeks.  I got a promotion and raise over the summer, which is nice (makes up for the salary cut the year before), but the work has been rough recently.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>And here are my answers about Elisha:<\/p>\n<p>1. The night we exchanged over 100 emails (when I used to work the graveyard shift).<\/p>\n<p>2. Fight Club, of course.<\/p>\n<p>3. It would have to be sugarless jello.  Lemon would be fine.<\/p>\n<p>4. I had to vacuum after I opened the first letter you ever sent me.<\/p>\n<p>5. My first memory is the story of the guy in the parking lot, of course.  My clearest memory was the day I suddenly realized that I knew something about you that you had never told anybody in the world (including me).<\/p>\n<p>6. Well, you didn&#8217;t choose an animal, so I won&#8217;t either.  You have always reminded me of my father.<\/p>\n<p>7.  I&#8217;ll ask the same question.
