*smiles* I used to play a variation of this game with my sister when we were supposed to be going to sleep... We'd take turns saying a name and then we'd describe what we thought of when we heard it, what that person would look like or what their personality would be like. I remember lying in bed in our house on Hopewell Rd. doing this. Don't think it was ever a game that we got caught doing and split up to fall asleep with, though.
