Word of the Day: Trivial

I've often wondered why I can't seem to remember trivial information. Seriously. None.
Friend: "Remember that scene in the movie XYZ where the ___ ruins the ___?"
Me: "Wait, what movie?"

I know I watched it. In fact, I may have watched it last week. But that doesn't mean I'll remember a single thing about it. Do I have a degenerative brain defect? I swear I got good grades in school. No really, I was third in my high school class. I graduated college in three years. Is it possible that there is a limited supply of trivial knowledge cells and once they're used up you're relegated to an eternity riddled with lost trivial pursuit games?

triv·i·al ( P ) Pronunciation Key (trv-l)adj.
Of little significance or value.
Ordinary; commonplace.
Concerned with or involving trivia.
Biology. Relating to or designating a species; specific.
Mathematics.

OH NOW I GET IT. I'm really more of a reading and writing kinda girl. Perhaps that is why I cannot remember trivial things, since they are synonymous with Biology and Math.

Tonight I am attending a Trivial Pursuit party, hosted by my good friend and close neighbor (we spend 9 hours a day, sometimes more, two feet away from each other).

Here's me, pre-party: "I LUV Trivial Pursuit!"

Here's me, post-party: "I hate you for inviting me to that stupid party!" (said from outside the building, below the window to Timoni's apartment, after my team has kicked me out for losing them points).
