Subject: Defining object methods in initialize

I'd like to define methods on initialize that are specific for the created 
object. However it seems that the few lines of code below is defining them 
somewhere else since they are 'overwriting' each other:

============
class Foo
def initialize(method_name, &block)
  self.class.send(:define_method, method_name, &block)
end
end

aa = Foo.new(:whoareyou) { puts "I am aa" }
bb = Foo.new(:whoareyou) { puts "I am bb" }

aa.whoareyou          
# returns: "I am bb"  - But I expect: "I am aa"
bb.whoareyou	        
# returns: "I am bb"

Foo.whoareyou
# undefined method ===> Good
============


Thanks!
