'I've seen lonely times when I could not Phone a Friend'
My cell phone rang. I looked down at the display, assuming that it was someone who knew I'd been in class and had waited until five minutes after the end to call me. Instead I saw that it was my long-lost college roommate, Roommate. It seemed strange that she would call at 10:05 pm on a Monday, since we haven't seen each other in months and all of our recent correspondence has been in the form of LiveJournal comments. I answered the phone.
"Hi srah. Listen, in the movie Amish Face--"
"WHAT?"
"In the movie Office Space--"
"Oh, that's better - I thought you said--"
"In the movie Office Space, where does the guy take the Jennifer Aniston character to lunch?"
"Um..."
I suddenly remembered Roommate posting something about a quiz night at Conor O'Neill's and realized that I was a supremely vital Phone-a-Friend who could provide extremely vital trivia-type information! I'm actually pretty excited that she called me for something like this because I always felt like I had to have a *good reason* to call her and this gives me an excuse to call her out of the blue for something completely random. I thought for a moment and tried to remember the film.
"I think it's ********."
We wrapped up the call and she said she'd call me back in ten minutes to let me know how it went. She did and I was right. I am a trivia goddess. I came through. I am a cham-peen. I am pretty full of myself for knowing something as useless as that.
Do you know?

My mom does this regularly. She calls me and asks things like 'I'm and so-and-so's and we were just talking about this-and-that. Do you know who sang the song that starts with whatever-line?'
I usually know.
I also know a lot of movie trivia, mostly who was in what movie with whom, although I have never seen the movie.
