My Afternoon With a Real, Live Teenybopper
Yeah Boys, I'm as shocked as you are..
Today I got to go first hand into a teenyboppers mind. It was
frightening, but I feel it is nescessary to tell the story. You all know
that I try to stay away from Teenyboppers as much as I can, but
this was almost unavoidable. The teenybopper in question was my boyfriend's
sister, who is 14 years old and a Backstreet Boys fan. She is, By the way,
SURE that AJ is the man for her, that he is NO WAY involved with
Amanda Latona, and that if ONLY she got skimmpy clothes, got a tatoo (?)
,lost a few pounds, and wore lots of makeup, he would fall in love with her.
So how did I get involved with this lil girl when I try to avoid people
more than four years younger than me at all costs? Well she was having a little
dance at school..the school "formal". She wanted to have her hair fixed, so
being the nice girl I am, I told her I would do her hair and makeup. So that is
how I got to spend four hours with her. During this time, I got to learn
many things that go on in a teenyboppers mind, which I will now share with you.
We went to her room, and she immediately put in her *NSYNC and BSB CD's..I requested
that we listen to *NSYNC first...She knows I don't care much for the Backstreet Boys,
and I guess that was pretty considerate of her..So anyway, I had brought her
three AJ pictures from our Bops, because we had no need for them. She loved them.
She screamed and stared at them for a few minutes, then set them on her bed. While
I put her hair in rollers, I learned that:
~*~ She has a crush on a boy at school. They are "just friends" right now, because
her friends asked them if he would go out with her, but he said their "friendship meant
too much" and he just wanted to be friends. (Too bad that means "I would never
have you" in boy language). She was just sure that she would see him at the dance, and
he would ask her to dance. Just SURE of it.
~*~ I learned what EXACTLY AJ says on the first song on the BSB cd. Even though
we had to listen to that God awful song about 5 times. She isn't a good singer, by the way.
~*~ Evidently, "Slut" is a bad word, becuase she didn't say it..she just said "S"
~*~ Those fans in the BSB video? They are REAL FANS. They aren't
just actresses. And the BSB has their own plane. That's what they said on the video.
Justin: Which one of you girls is goin to da prom?
Me: It's her Justin.
Justin: Yo..coulda fooled me.
So then her mother comes up to watch me work my magic. Momma started to sit down on the bed,
and Teeny screams..Guess why? Because Momma almost sat on her AJ pictures. By this time, I had the
rollers out and was putting it up with pins. She talked the ENTIRE TIME..
now we got to talk about AJ. She was talking about how her "friend" that
she has a crush on hated BSB, and ripped up her pictures of AJ when she took them to school.
She yelled at him (flirt, yell, flirt..same thing in her mind) and told him
that she liked him and he better lay off. Way to woo him with your charm, hon.
Then she said how when it comes to her man, she gets violent. Like, for instance,
when a girl said AJ looked like Jafar from "Aladdin"..she told her she looked like a
gorilla. SHE DID! (Imagine me, your friendly webmaster, nodding and smiling at this point).
Back to *NSYNC, a topic that Interests me. We talked about who was our
favorites (we share the same favorite..Lance..I'm a Lance fan again). Then
she said she didn't like Chris..I said why not, Chris is cute..She had no reason,
just cause she didn't. But he has a pretty voice she says. Then she says
"AJ has a great voice huh?" I said, well...I've heard better..Doesn't faze her
a bit. We go on to talk about his eyes. And his hair. And his..etc.etc.
Too much AJ for me.
So finally I was done. Her hair looked really cute, and her makeup looked cute too.
She didn't look like herself. Then she put on her dress. It was her
dress from her brother's wedding last year, (in which we were both bridesmaids)
..and I'll Just describe it: Purpleish-Pink, Long, VERY plain, NOT PRETTY.
She didn't wear any jewelry or anything..just the dress and these VERY UGLY shoes.
She called her friend to tell her they were coming, but had to
pick up a disposable camera "Just in case her 'friend' was there..so they
could get a picture together. He is willing and everything..he just wants to be
friends"..So that is my evening with a real, live teenybopper.
Lance: Wow, Manders..You're a miracle worker. YOU..are Awesome.
Me: *SIGH* Don't I know it. ;-)
Go Back!
