Because I Am a Total Font of Useless Information
Tonight's themed round at trivia was Disney Princesses. As in there are ten pictures of Disney "princess" characters and you must write in their exact names (not the movie titles, although some do coincide).
We have a "movie person" and after writing in a few he just handed the paper and pen to me, so I filled in the rest. . . using "I have a niece" as my explanation.
Yeah, right. She loves Cars and Toy Story. (Not that I've seen all the movies, mind you. I just recognize the characters.)
Obviously it was a pretty high scoring round for most teams, and we were tied with another team for a perfect score for that round. Because we guessed closer to the number between one and ten that the host was thinking, we got the little prize (a t-shirt). Maybe it was bold of me, but I claimed it. I hadn't dared before, because I'm still new to the team and other than the music round (and the Pulitzer round last week) I haven't done a ton of heavy (mental) lifting.
But I really feel that round was mine. Nobody else knew who Esmeralda (not exactly a princess) and Tiana (among others) were.
So glad I don't have classes regularly scheduled for Wednesdays. I'm still a little too wound up to go to sleep.
Victory feels awesome.

P.S.-That t-shirt was totally deserved!
Congrats!
CCR--I will admit that I have not seen the movies feat. Esmeralda, Pocahontas, Tiana, and Mulan. I'm just, well aware. . .
. . . and I have SARA to thank for a lot of that! You sly minx, I thought for sure you'd lurk for longer and I'd be making comments about Peanut the horse first. :)
(In case other readers can't tell, Sara & I go back a ways.)
Yeah, I thought a couple of these were reaching as "princesses," but you know, in the interest of fairness to as many ethnic groups as possible. . . gypsy girls need inspiration, too.
Congrats on winning!
