Time machine set to 80's

[impy]

So the world has like nine billion sites on Harry Potter, but a girl can't find a decent non-review/blog for the good old BSC? How fair is that? Anyway, I thought I would wave around proof that either Scholastic is full of crap/, or it's the end of the world as we know it. While bored out of my skull, I took their little quiz, yes? Yes. And of allllllllllllll the options [all four], I ended up with Kristy. If you don't remember your BSC-lore, lemme just say that Kristy is the complete opposite of me for the last, I dunno, twenty-some odd years. I would've required massive amounts of anti-anxiety pills to have been around her, let alone be her. Even with my lowered tolerance for stupid people, I could never be a Kristy. Not even whiny movie Kristy. Ever. Sports, outgoing personality, and anchovies? Not me.

And for those who must, absolutely must know, I was Mary Anne until she got that nasty haircut that they NEVER let her outgrow despite it always looking like crap on the covers. Alllllllllllwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyysssss. But I had a thing for the blondes of the club and annoyed my cousins one summer debating the merits of Stacey versus Dawn.

Kristy. When hell freezes.

Gross, I got Kristy, too. Even changing some of my answers I still ended up with her!

Stacey was always my favorite. Now that damn song from the TV show is in my head. "Babysitter's club! Cause you know that your friends are always there!" I wonder if I still have the dolls? I hope I didn't lose them.
Ha ha! I remember Mary Anne's dyke cut! I never cared for her much though. Or Dawn. I guess Claudia was cool, though. I liked the giant "adventure" tomes where they went to camp or got stuck on that island or something. It's where I learned heat escapes from your head. But I don't know if that's even true. Good times, good times.

OMG, did you vote in the poll?? I totally want them to talk about zits! Yes! And haven't they talked about all of that stuff at least thirty times by now?

I think it's rigged, you've got to be Kristy, or the quiz will explode! *giggles* I have bits of the theme in my head, but not stuck there. Yet. I still have my bigger dolls somewhere under the eaves in my room. I'm sure the smaller ones are around, too, but I think I moved them to the other side, and they weren't as loved as the big ones, cuz I found 'em ugly. The bigger ones caused me to go out on Dec. 26th to get either Stacey or Dawn, whichever one I didn't get for Christmas. It was the only time my father caved to my "but I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it" whinge about a gift. :P Aw, no love for MA or Dawn? I could relate to MA being painfully shy [til the haircut instilled false confidence!] and quiet, as that was more me than I should probably ever admit. Claud was fun, too.

The Super Specials were fun, and I was a big fan of the mysteries until they pretty much all became lame. And they'd have the Super-Mysteries and I couldn't resist. :D I remember being scared by one of the ghost stories in one of the wintery supers, cuz I was lame like that.

Zits shall never touch the face of Stacey or Claud. I think numerous books tell us that about Claud and her junk food habit. Good, good times.

They're all Kristy! I went through and just picked answers that I knew would be anyone but Kristy several times and still got her! Way to go, Scholastic. At least that means we're not all Kristies though!

I think I liked Dawn. I've always gotten annoyed with supershy girls in books, even though sometimes I am. They just always come off as whiney to me, I guess.

And is it sad that sometimes I can't remember which parts of me going to camp actually happened and which parts came from BSC books?

I remember I had one or two of the old VHS of Baby Sitters Club, and I think Claudia (she was the Asian one, right?) was my favorite simply because, in retrospect, as a woman who likes women, I often lust after exotic brunettes. Plus she was artsy and creative. Heh.

Aside from her and the really annoying bossy one, I don't really remember much about their attributes. Of course it has been about 15 years since I read the books.

And on the quiz, I got...WTF? Kristy. I don't think there's any other answer. I think they screwed up the quiz.

Claud love! I loved Claud, hated reading anything she wrote in the books, as the misspellings were so painful. All hail the exotic brunette!

I remember way too much about the BSC. I suspect my brain chucked American history and any sort of math beyond basic algebra and latched onto the BSC-like stuff as if it could possibly hold the secret for world peace somewhere within.

Either that, or the world is filled to the brim with Kristys.

*runs screaming from the thought*
