Okay I have a bit of thing for game shows. I always have loved them and probably always will. The thing is, watching them and playing along is only so much fun when you're alone.
What does it mean to be single? It means getting super difficult Final Jeopardy questions right and only having yourself to congratulate, well, yourself.
Case in point: "2 of the 3 countries that are completely encircled by one other country."
Me, alone, to myself: "Oh, well Vatican City, obvs, and then that one in South Africa, uhhh Lesotho?"
Alex Trebek: "...Vatican City, San Marino, Lesotho."
Me, alone, to myself: "OMG did anyone just see that? I got that. I GOT THAT. What a spectacular display of useless knowledge! Someone had to have witnessed this! I impressed someone, right??"
**crickets**
Hmph.
Sure, every now and then I watch Jeopardy with someone else. Of course I don't perform nearly as well, but whatevs. I'm totally content impressing myself, congratulating myself, amazing myself.
And someday, someone will witness first-hand my arsenal of useless knowledge on the reg. I'm sure of it.
xoxo
