I'll lose on Jeopardy, baby....

Hee! Just got an e-mail that says I can come to our local Jeopardy! tryouts on June 15th. I've been wanting to do this for years.

Not that I actually want to be on the show. Nuh-uh. I would be that pitiable person who freezes in the first two minutes and ends up with $100 in Final Jeopardy and a lifetime of humiliation in my trivia geek social circle. I know this, because I was terrible in College Bowl whenever answering a question involved actual, you know, buzzing in. This is the reason I'm talking about it all here, because talking about something like this is the surest way to jinx yourself.

Nonetheless, I want to take the test and just see how I do. One of my high school classmates won the College Tournament a few years ago, and one of my college friends passed all the tryout stages once, even though they never called her. It should be fun.
