So. I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but I did that online tryout thing for Jeopardy, and I got invited to an in-person audition. And because it's cool just to say that you got invited and went to said audition (and because my parents are making me), I'm going. Sunday. Up to Chicago. Basically, I pass this and I get stuck into a pool of some 200 people who get drawn from (I want to say 15 or so) for the tournament. I'm pretty sure I don't want to actually go on Jeopardy, because then I'll obsess over every question I didn't know for the rest of my life (plus, you can't do other game shows for a certain amount of time after that, and Jeopardy isn't one of the ones where you can actually win a whole lot--I'm holding out for Millionaire or Deal or No Deal or sommat that actually gives you some cashy money).

But because why not.

I need you people to give me trivia-ish things (and the answers or links to where I can learn them): geography ( <- !! I know nothing of this and it's always a category in some form or another, often rivers), literature, world leaders, pop stars (I know nothing about what's "hot" in music now because I so rarely listen to the radio, so everybody who's popular with the teen/college set now), and idk what else. Anything you can think of that I need to cram in.

We'll call it a meme for tagging purposes. YOU'VE BEEN MEMED.
