QUIZ RECAP

VALENTINE'S DAY ODE TO GOAL

Never have I ever had a relationship last past six months...till now!

What a coincidence to celebrate six months and one week with hosting trivia at GOAL Sports right as we celebrate the week after Valentine's 🙂

and yes, I'm not the only one still carrying on the holiday -- Round Two was perfect for all the ladies (and gentlemen) who knew how to name V Day brands such as 1-800-Flowers, Chanel, and The Body Shop.

Let me count the ways that I can profess my love for hosting here.

You've been patient with me ever since we began getting to know each other, as I went through the learning curve of figuring out the sound system and timing for running an efficient game. (and mental math.)

You've been thoroughly supportive of my dreams and goals, from the times I've announced my writing projects making it past screenwriting competitions at drinking rounds to the last-minute auditions and shoots I've had to leave for when you all missed me but still wished me the very best because if you love someone, you want them to succeed in every way possible. (Just like how I always want every team to win!)

We've survived long-distance during the holidays when I've wanted to spend my Thanksgiving, Christmas, and long weekends in San Francisco. Never once did I doubt you'd be back in LA, waiting for me to return. And I regaled my family and friends with the lively stories we shared together.

And did I mention how I love introducing my family and friends to you? I don't dread it; I delight in it!

You've always kept me well-fed with delicious food and a seemingly un-ending supply of buffalo wings and strawberry lemonade.

You make me smile and lift my spirits on hard days!

You make me smile even more on the best days.

Every hosting experience is new and different -- we keep the excitement going with unpredictable twists, turns, and surprises.

With you, commitment is not a scary thing at all but a grand adventure and unparalleled endeavor.

We embrace the best and worst of each other, surviving painful losses, weathering both gut-punching curveballs and head-scratching moments, and celebrating the most exhilarating triumphs.

We have aged together, grown together, learned together.

We -- well, I, have documented each milestone of our burgeoning relationship through photos and lengthy recaps, cementing memories for us to look back on like a scrapbook of our highlights.

You have taught me to be more selfless, to think beyond myself and you have opened my eyes to how I don't need to be perfect. I can just be me and I will be accepted through my mistakes and quirks, and maybe even loved all the more for them.

We live in the moment and we never forget to have fun.

And most of all, you remind me that in life, we should always double or nothing because then we can say we weren't afraid to try 🙂

<3 <3 <3

XOXO,

your forever Valentine SANYEE

PS lol -- as to how last night's game went: we celebrated Ashley's third week at GOAL, Jasmine got new boss headshots, Doug no longer has to commute from Irvine, Cody came to chillax on his Wednesday off again, I celebrated Galentine's with Ally and chocolate,

the President's Drinking Round came down to five unlisted Presidents (omg how is everyone always so good at this one anywhere I play it!), Socialist Overlords won the Drinking Round as Elizabeth Warren won the Dems debate on-screen,

I told y'all about the series regular CW audition I had for the reboot of Kung Fu (yes, the 70s show starring David Carradine that now in the woke 2020s will have an Asian female lead instead of a non-Asian gentleman at the forefront),

and I Lost My Virginity At... roared from fourth place after Round 4 to second place with their double down in Round 5 and made it to Round 6 with a one-point lead in second, then hung onto second place in Round 7, notching their first comeback into the top three after the last few weeks and of course dedicating the W to Andrew P in the UK.

Socialist Overlords could not be caught all night, also winning the Drinking Round and Shaquille Oatmeal knew their sci-fi literature tyrants to notch their third-place title. And both teams asked if I was interested in coming to play trivia next time with them at a different venue -- after all, I got the pop culture down to an art in this brain of mine and as I told both of 'em, I'm a free agent!

But I promise I love you all equally -- see you next week!
