My dear friend, lsig, put this on her LiveJournal, and I thought it was so fun that I agreed to do it here.
1. I'll respond with something random about you
2. I'll challenge you to try something
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you
4. I'll tell you something I like about you
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you
(Go ahead, make a comment. Even if you’re comment phobic. Even if I don’t know you well, or even personally, at all. Even if I know you so well that you’re scared I’ll put really honest answers. I’ve got witty rejoinders just waiting for some of you folks, please let me use them!)

Go, speed racer, go!

Man, it's like we don't even live together.
Huh? Does this count?

-ksig
So long as you don't challenge me to try belly dancing, I'm game! So how did the 2nd day of pre-school go? SRH said the first one went really well. Pretty soon Zane won't even need you guys except to drive him there. Just kidding, you guys will still have to cook!

Oh, it counts. (As a disclaimer, however, I will say that I may have been inordinately influenced by the picture in your profile. I mean, how do you solve a problem like Maria?)

2. Challenge – We need to see a guest blog from Mr. Nancy.

ksig-
I went easy on you.

2. Challenge – Discover something likeable/redeemable about AA. Share it with the rest of us, and convince us that it’s true. (not the organization or the battery size)

7. Question – Do you want me to ask them to salt them bitches up? Cause I’ll ask them.
IC Yellow-

1. Random – Removal of your gallbladder caused you to have to buy new jeans
2. Challenge – Start marketing your jewelry
3. Color – Turquoise – just because
4. Like – your independence and fearlessness

m-
Here's what you were dying to know! :) It was great to see you all today.
1. Random – you do not like mushrooms, and that seems very odd for a vegetarian
2. Challenge – update your blog
3. Color – orange, can you guess why?
4. Like – you can turn a phrase. Remember this one: Dude, you are a girl.
5. Memory – It was the first Christmas after F and E were born. We saw you at church and you had one baby on your leg and the other in your arms while R chased A around. And you were smiling – and I couldn’t believe how non-stressed you seemed by it all.
6. Animal – Snook on It’s a Big, Big World – he’s laid back and helps all the other animals
7. Question – Of the 17 children you watch, how many of them do you really like? I mean, really?
Answer to question 7:
He engaged in an unholy alliance and lost his soul. It involved origami.
lsig-
From what I her, unholy alliances often involve origami - and speciality greeting cards.
Sweet, Trusting Dustin -
1. Random – You secretly write for another blog under a different name.
2. Challenge – Find a decent job with a liberal arts degree. (I do hear it’s possible).
3. Color – Well, it must be “dusty” something, so let’s go with dusty blue.
4. Like – You could be SRH’s younger brother – curly hair, lots of wit, tons of dorkiness. It’s a fetching combination.
5. Memory – I went to your blog early after you started commenting on SRH’s blog, and your entry was about “the perfect band”. The line about Stairway to my Dad just cracked me up.
6. Animal – the ferocious panda
7. Question – Can you sing?
1. Gall Bladder – I swear it wasn’t just my eating habits that caused the size change. The doctor doesn’t believe me but I have a witness, damn it! My sister saw what I weighed when they checked me in, prior to gall bladder removal, and watched me weigh in again one week later when I couldn’t fit into my old jeans…I’m not lying…I’m NOT!
2. Jewelry – It’s really hard to market without a logo. Perhaps you could drop a word to a certain person in marketing at my office. He’s been too busy to work on non-office designs. Or maybe speaking to his bosses would be more appropriate! BUT if you’re interested, there are quite a few pieces on my website. They are still not as easy to access as I would like (you have to do a search) but this is a work in progress! Just go to www.designsinthesnow.com
5. Haircut – To be honest, rarely a day goes by that I don’t want to throw someone down the stairs. I’m betting the haircut was probably just the excuse of the day!
7. Trigger tripper – John Cusack. Yeah, baby! Cute, dorky, funny, and smart. What more can a girl ask for?

Zingerzapper -
Thanks for playing.
1. Random – You don’t like cheese, either.
2. Challenge – Go out with grace.
3. Color – silver
4. Like – You are one of the most courageous people I know. Nothing stops you. I am in awe and inspired daily.
5. Memory – You giving me crap while working the crisis lines. One second we’re making safety plans with a woman in crisis, the next you’re telling bawdy jokes.
6. Animal - piranha
7. Question – How many jobs have you had anyway?
