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:



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!
