I know I owe you answers to the rest of the FAQ questions -- and they're coming, I promise. But I am FINISHING ROO3! Right now! Like, I might get to the end TODAY!
So, now I need your help with something else.
If you are UNDER THE AGE OF 18, it would help me greatly in making sure Roo's footnotes are interesting and funny and not annoying/boring if you can copy the questions below into the comments (here on the blog, not on LJ, please!) and then answer them – quickly or at length as you see fit!
Do NOT use the internet or any other reference material. What I need to know is whether my teenage audience (you guys) will get these references or not – and whether Roo should include footnotes about them. So I want to know what you know/recognize without any research. Correct answers are not the goal. Showing me what references are on your radar already is the goal.
THANK YOU!!!!

1. Erm...I have no idea...
2. A hair band. Hmm. Well, I think the term "long-hair" means kind of an artist, kind of out there. So maybe a hair band is some kind of hippie-ish, random, indie band?
3. What's a whaa--? An emu?
4. Nah, but my friends have. I've heard the Christina Aguilera/Pink/Mya/Li'l Mama music video...Does that count?
5. DUDE! ONLY THE BEST BAND EVER!! I think "Bohemian Rhapsody" is one of my favorite songs EVER. And where would the world be without the catchy "We Will Rock You" beat? Nowhere, I tell you! Nowhere!
6. Ugly but comfortable shoes. I think they're German.
7. Actually, I took the SAT in 7th grade. But mostly seniors take them nowadays. Some really advanced juniors do too, though.
8. A totally sleek, amazing, get-dehydrated-from-drooling-over-it moped kind of motorbike. Lime green = luff!!
9. Anime is Japanese art where all the girls are emaciated and blond with huge eyes that normal girls would kill to have. And all the guys are kind of girly-looking but drop-dead gorgeous. And they have awesome hair. But sometimes the book goes backwards. Which is HIGHLY confusing.
10. Um...that sounds like the kind of thing where an ulcer implodes or something. Wow. Painful much?
11. Nah. I'm no movie buff. It's Disney all the way, man! ^^
12. Hmm. He wasn't one of the Beatles, was he? No, that was that other John guy...
13. Edith? Wharton? What an unfortunate name. Which means "no". =)
14. Yup! Never seen it, but the theme song is really really addictive.
--Wow...I am soooooo uninformed...^^
