Holy cow!!!

Guess who just called me?

Jeopardy!!

The audition was so long ago (almost a year!) that I'd pretty much figured that was it for this season and I'd just have to audition again later. But they want me out to tape in less than a month!!

*brain explodes*

Ohmigosh!! How am I ever going to manage all this?! How much is a plane ticket going to be?! What should I be doing to practice? I haven't even been taping the show!! Has anyone got any advice? My lord, I don't want to humiliate myself on national television... Will I freeze? How much weight can I possibly lose in a month?

*remnants of brain explode*

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Wow, that's awesome!

Also,
My advice.. think up something not cheesy to talk to Alex about.

I second that. (Although it would be oh-so-hardcore-cool if you were all, "I have an online journal! Hellooooo, my LiveJournal fan base!")

Hurray! You are such a smartie-o!

[soulfire.livejournal.com]

That is so wicked awesome! Good luck, I'm sure you will kick much ass. Say something cute, yet snarky to Alex ;)

[pxlboy.livejournal.com]

hell fucking yeah! you need to tell us when so we can all tune in and cheer you on!

[weaktwos.livejournal.com]

Wooo! I'll take Calm Composure for $1000, Alex!

I have no advise to give; I haven't watched Jeopardy in months. All I can remember is the scene with Rosie Perez in "White Men Can't Jump". And the category was "foods that start with Q".

[mojomuze.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo!

I hope they have the "Penis Mightier" category....or maybe "Potent Potables!"

But yeah, that's kickass! Good luck!

cool!
a woman in the policial science dept at emory was on jeopardy. The taping was a while ago and it just aired 2 weeks ago and we had a viewing party.

yay for jeopardy!

Get the kind of ballpoint pen that has a click top. Start practicing NOW, every night, to keep clicking that thing maniacally while listening to the questions. Oh, and listen to the show -- don't watch. You are not going to be able to read the questions.

Trust me on this. It's been 11 years, and I'm still a bit embarrassed about it.

Re:

[tall-man.livejournal.com]

Yeah, IIRC, don't the clickers add a 1/10 second delay if you signal while Alex is reading the question?

If they do, get very good at waiting until the question is read. This ain't College Bowl, where it's first in, first to win.

Congrats lady! One of the regulars at the trivia show that I worked at Park Bench was on a few years ago and was the champion for three shows...he said it was a lot of fun...

I can offer her some delta miles... she can fly our on my rewards.

Also, I have a cousin who lives in Northridge who she could probably stay with. Less of a bill also!

I'll send you some money for plane ticket if you will mention my name on television... *grin*

[tyrantmouth.livejournal.com]

Wooooooo! Congratulations! That rocks so hard. :)

[christine9600.livejournal.com]

You're gonna be on Jeopardy??? That is the coolest freaking thing EVER!!! I love Jeopardy. Wow. I think I may be almost as excited for you as you are for yourself!

[supposed.livejournal.com]

Yay!

I would totally agree with the people who say to practice with the buzzers and the timing. That's probably what separates the people who do really well from those who don't.

[ariedana.livejournal.com]

OMG, I'm so proud of you!!!!!!

metaphorge and I had a friend who was on Jeopardy once. I haven't talked to him in many moons, but maybe we can track him down for you.

Yet another reason you rock!

[fairylogic.livejournal.com]

Congrats! That is so exciting!

You should go on there with the absolutely purpliest hair Alex Trebek has ever seen.

[musicwolf.livejournal.com]

Very cool! Can't wait to see it on air!

[alphafem.livejournal.com]

That is SO great... *envy envy envy*
You'll have to let us all know when you make your huge television debut!!!

[dwivian]

You'd better start bulking up that spinning arm!

......what?

(oh, and nice job there, putting so much of that paragraph in the form of a question....)

[lindsaygail.livejournal.com]

Congrats! That is too cool! And when you win I can brag to everyone about it, "yeah, I know her!"

Good luck! Maybe you should start phrasing everything in the form of a question to get into the habbit.
