Jesus Tapdancing Christ! Where the hell have I been? Rhetorical question. I actually plead the fifth regarding my existence for the past however many hours I've been ~~locked in a laboratory~~ ~~with my head up my ass~~ ~~piss drunk~~ gone.

Since everyone is thrilled to see and hear from me once more, I have decided to host a classy get-together for all of my dear friends here. Where and when can be decided at a later date, but for now we can just pick a theme.

Options:

- Recapturing Lost Innocence. Remember those days of your dewy and glowing virginity? ...no? Neither do I. For this party, you'd arrive with someone who wasn't your current partner. If you don't have a partner then just grab someone off the street, it's fine.

- ABC Party. Stands for Anything But Clothes. I'm not talking nakedness because getting arrested is not on the agenda and, well, some of you really need to keep your clothes on for the sake of my retinas. But obviously creativity comes into play here.

- Rave Party. Blacklights, florescent colors, glowsticks. What's to hate about this?

- Wine and Cheese from Around the World. ~~Nerds only.~~

That's just something to ponder. For those who don't know who I am, I'm Samuel but no one calls me that anymore so Sam is fine. It's shorter and rolls off the tongue easier. I don't do anything like tarot cards or palm readings or seances; I'm actually a scientist of sorts so I can appreciate mental disturbances. It will help me fit in really well around here. You may have also seen me around at various benefits and other charity events - I believe in giving back to the community, and I have a few causes I am strongly devoted to but I don't like to make a big deal out of it. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be seeing you all around at some point. Try not to burn the building down - those stairs can be tricky to navigate when your pants are on fire.

~~You don't want to know.~~ Promoter sequences, of course, in the human genome.

They aren't difficult as much as they are frustrating. If you don't time your collection times perfectly, they mate without your knowledge and contaminate your results. ~~Much like human beings.~~

If you ever manage to find yours, I would like to read them. It's always important to review what your peers publish - I've found myself learning tremendously this way.

	Mating without knowledge does tend to put a damper on things, eh? Hmm, tell you what, Dr. J. We could meet somewhere and I could possibly have found a copy of my articles and you can talk more about your research? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~I do not like nicknames.~~ That sounds very pleasant. Though I have been here for a short while, I am not very aware of places to meet nearby. Would you have a preference? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tiger_says_rawr 2010-06-12 05:26 pm UTC (link)
	No preferences, really. Someplace where we won't have to yell to be heard. There has to be some sort of overpriced coffee place around here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There must be. ~~That serves water.~~ We could meet in the lobby and then leave together to find someplace suitable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Oh man. Thank GodAllahBuddha for caffeine.~~ Sounds great! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When would you like to meet? I dictate my own schedule, so I can accommodate yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tiger_says_rawr 2010-06-12 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Are you busy tomorrow? We can just do lunch, maybe? Sometimes I have coffee for lunch though, so I wouldn't judge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~As a scientist you should know that we're always busy.~~ Alright. There are many days that I don't eat, so you won't have to worry about my opinions concerning your eating habits. Lunch traditionally begins at 12 o'clock. Would you like to meet in the lobby then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tiger_says_rawr 2010-06-12 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	Oh really? But the body needs fuel to function properly, J-per, my good man. Lunch it is, just so you don't pass out on me. 12:00 in the lobby works fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sneakingaround 2010-06-12 05:51 pm UTC (link)
	~~J-per?~~ ~~You and Isobel will get along splendidly. You both obsess about food and give people nicknames against their will.~~ I promise that I won't pass out. I will see you then, Samuel. (Reply to this) (Parent)
