jeapordy!!!

so i'm finally reading my very first douglas coupland book, "microserfs." i had started it earlier in 2007, but laid it aside and then lost it. gabe's a big fan and has all coupland's books, and i needed something light and knowingly enjoyable to get over my bookshy. so i've started again.

there's a handful of characters that are introduced early in the book, and since they're all nerds working for microsoft and living in the same house, it could get really confusing pretty fast...or he could waste a lot of time describing the characters, which would seem pretty formulaic. instead, he gets around this task by sporadic lists. every once in a while, he says, "if this character had a dream jeapordy round, these would be the categories." and, magically, you have a good idea of what that character is all about.

so, for your entertainment, i tag all readers to list their dream jeapordy round. seven categories, things you know all about or would just like answering questions on, but--in coupland's grand scheme--could tell people about you without any other reference.

amber's dream jeapordy categories:
*harry potter
*the works of jane austen
*pies
*hypochondira
*chinchilla sounds and habits
*dying on stage
*working in law without knowing anything about it

go.
