why am I interesting?

Oct 05, 2005 19:13

so, I'm auditioning for Jeopardy on Saturday, and I have to include in my little application-thingy a list of 5 interesting things about myself that Alex Trebek could talk to me about. (My cousin had to do the same thing when she tried out for Who Wants to be a Millionaire ( Read more... )

Is owning five bazillion pairs of underwear too "interesting"? ;)
Weren't you state champ in the geography bee?

Oooh, the circus just pulled in!

not champ, I just went to the state competition twice. not quite as exciting.

Ah, for some reason I thought you'd gone to DC.

You didn't learn to drive until you were __ years old.

You have a cat that likes to hump stuffed hippos?

can i say "hump" on national television?

the driving thing might work. that, or, i've only driven twice in my entire life since getting my license, for a total of about 30 minutes.

Be careful with that. One of my friends got through all the audition madness and was rejected on the basis that she had more personality than Alex Trebek.

Sadly, I don't think "I once got trapped underneath my own bed" is what they're looking for.

emblebug October 6 2005, 11:19:08 UTC

who DOESN'T have more personality than alex trebek? (well, ken jennings was quite the bore)

trapped under the bed might work, actually. especially when i say that my friends TOOK PICTURES before rescuing me!

...but DID they?

mryn October 6 2005, 12:38:13 UTC

I'm offended you'd even question that.

You're not going to tell them you auditioned to be Miss Shafer with "I Touch Myself"? WHAT?!

emblebug October 6 2005, 11:19:43 UTC

you know, I had completely forgotten about that! that was good times. (although, I maintain that I was WAY better than marisa)

i don't suppose the story about your scar would be appropriate.

emblebug October 10 2005, 19:55:58 UTC

sadly, probably not. partially because my mother doesn't know the truth and I wouldn't want her to find it out that way.

but, it's all a moot point anyway, since i didn't pass the test. oh well, maybe i'll try again next year....
