items taking up valuable space in my brain that could be used for other things. like say, writing my thesis.

-The theme songs to the following shows: Sister, Sister ("Sister, sister! Never knew how much I missed her!"), The Nanny (which incidentally, I totally watched the reunion of on Lifetime tonight. You just lost all respect for me, huh?), Full House (like you don't) and Boy Meets World.

-An inordinate amount of Saved By the Bell trivia.

-The plot of pretty much every book I read between the ages of six and twelve. This includes such useless titles as Nothing's Fair in Fourth Grade, You Have to Draw the Line Somewhere and Lisa and Lottie, which was some crazy German version of The Parent Trap. Also, pretty much every Babysitter's Club and Sweet Valley Twins book ever written.

-Pretty much all of my lines from every play I've been in (up to and including The Sound of Music when I was twelve and played Brigitta).

-In a related vein, all the songs with accompanying choreography from truly terrible plays I was in during elementary school and camp. Titles of said plays include The Fabulous Fable Factory, Sami's Magical Circus and Hoodwinked!. If you get me real real drunk, I can bust out a rendition of "Turn That Frown Upside Down" from Sami's Magical Circus. I only wish I was joking.

-A rap my first grade class performed at the Black History Month assembly. "Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff! Wasn't scared of nothing neither!"

-The location of every season of The Real World.

-Most of the dialogue of the following movies: Clueless, The Breakfast Club, Heathers, Dirty Dancing.

-The rhyming text of a preview for Empire Records that aired before Clueless ("Cory and Rex! First time at sex! AJ loves Cory! Whole nother story!"). Does anyone else remember this? Besides Rose?

-The phone numbers of people I haven't called in over ten years.
