Sweet Valley Series

[Deleted]

Spoonerisms?

Remember when Jessica blacklisted Annie Whitman from the squad, because she was the town bicycle (although considering JESSICA's love life...), and she tried to commit suicide, so Jessica let her in after all? (It wasn't a pity thing-she really was the best one at try-outs, but Jessica bullied everyone else into letting someone else in).

And who the fuck has sororities and fraternities in fucking HIGH SCHOOL? The only ones I can think of would be National Honor Society fraternities.

Robin Wilson also goes all anti-social batshit when she doesn't get into Pi Beta Alpha. Between her and Annie Whitman, the lesson I learned was that being weak and a victim will get you positive attention. Luckily, I got over that. I also got over reeeeeally wanting a shimmery peach-colored jumpsuit.

Is there anyplace other than, like, flight academy, where people wear more jumpsuits than Sweet Valley?!

All that and I can't remember my fucking cell phone number.

No kidding. I struggle with remembering elements of Lacanian theory for class, but can reel off the name of a dozen Sweet Valley teachers like *that*. Sad. So sad.

Speaking of which... Sweet Valley Trivia! The person who answers first gets to ask the next SVTrivia question!

What (for the first dozen books, anyway) was Elizabeth's favorite drink? (Hint: it's not milk, "the good girl's drink.")

[Deleted]

Was it a chocolate milkshake from that straight-outta-the-'50s diner they always hung out at after school?

Ok, I actually have no clue.

[Peggy Lane]

Actually, we had them down here until about the 1980s. It literally took a multi-county/city taskforce and about thirty years for Metro Atlanta to break the Greek system in the high schools. My mother can tell horrific stories about the goings on in them, and believe me, they are crazy enough to be SVH stories. I'm assuming Francine Pascal is probably about my mom's age and was just working off of dated knowledge.

Damn you, Dwan! I think I know it, and I'm going to end up digging around for my books if someone doesn't answer soon.

ETA- I was thinking it was some kind of malt from that 50s diner place.

[Jibby]

Wasn't it root beer, or a root beer float? Or maybe I just made that up.

[dwanollah]

Indeed, it was root beer! Your turn, Jibby! *cranks up my Linda Ronstadt album and picks out a cute sweater dress to wear to that party at Lila's tonight*

[Jibby]

Oh boy, I suck at thinking up trivia questions. So this will probably be lame.

Okay....what was the name of the Wakefield dog?

(I told you I suck at question asking!)

[marywebgirl]

Prince Albert?

[Jibby]

Yep, it was Prince Albert. Sadly, I remember the whole storyline about how they got Prince Albert, Jessica got him and hid him from her parents because they hadn't said she could get a dog. Then he ran away, but all was okay because Mr. Wakefield came home with a brand new puppy he decided to pick up from the shelter, and lo and behold, it was Prince Albert.

Whee! I got it right! OK, my turn:

What was the name of the song The Droids wrote and performed for the big dance in Winter Carnival?
