I guess it's just what interests you. I can tell you the author and plot of almost any story I've read. Ever. I can explain how Feanor and Galadriel are related - I can even draw charts. I just don't really know the difference between - I don't even know any names to say, I don't know, about!

I don't feel like I missed anything but I don't think the other sort of knowledge is inferior, exactly. I just don't care who wrote the latest pop hit.

You're doin' just fine Jen.

Just don't feel hurt when none of us wants you on our Trivial Pursuit team (unless it's the LOTR version!)

"I just don't really know the difference between - I don't even know any names to say, I don't know, about!"

That reminds me of the famous Hemingway quote:

"A man,'Harry Morgan said, looking at them both. 'One man alone ain't got. No man alone now." He stopped. "No matter how a man alone ain't got no bloody f......g chance."
