I forgot to call Monday night, so Tuesday night was my first shot. I got to Q4, but it was putting recent novels in order of publication. Of course, it had to be literature, my weakest suit. Gotta try again.

Almost qualified last night, but got tripped up on the final question...had to put 4 artists in order by DOB, starting w/earliest, and having only heard of one in the batch, I attempted to make an educated guess, but it was no go.

I just tried. I screwed up the order of Levi's and London Fog on question 3 (Levi Strauss is older, I flipped the order because I didn't know how old London Fog was).

Yes, I thought the questions were read faster than ever.

...and yes, the phone system brought back memories since it was the exact same recordings for most all of the prompts, reminding me of doing this years ago.

I tried again, and actually made it to question five, and messed up there. Despite my ineligibility, I actually felt myself getting amped before wondering just what the hell I would do if I were actually selected. :-P

Question five: Put these four musical artists in order of birth, starting with the earliest... 1. Brandy 2. Prince 3. Seal 4. Eminem...I thought I did 2-3-4-1, which should be the right answer...(1979-1958-1963-1972). Of course, with everything going so fast, I obviously did something wrong.

/Or maybe it was starting with the most recent. :-P

I made it to question #4. I had absolutely no idea and was running out of time, so I put 4-3-2-1 and hoped for the best, but after realizing #1 should have went first as I was punching the numbers in, I realized I was screwed. If I'd have remembered that in time, I would have been right as the order was 1-4-3-2.

Well, I do have an excuse. I was adding audio capabilities to the blog that my friends and I put together, so I was making sure that everything was recording properly. By the time that happened, I wasn't properly paying attention to the answers.

But the recording worked perfectly!

Woohoo! I got past the five questions tonight! I lucked out with the subject matter this time. I chose 7/29 as my tape date, and it's all up to the luck of the draw now. Wish me luck next week!

Well, I "made it" to question five tonight, but got tripped up on Girl Scout rankings.

It's Tagalongs, Do-Si-Dos, Thin Mints and THEN Samoas.

Put these Girl Scouts levels in order, starting with the lowest.
1) Senior
2) Junior
3) Cadette
4) Brownie

Answers:

4) Brownie
2) Junior
3) Cadette
1) Senior

(I said 4-3-2-1)
