There's Just Something Bout...N Sync

Well, this is Jen. I have been doing a LOT of thinking lately. It all started when I was sitting at work, doing nothing as usual. Then, when I got home, I was browsing thru this site when I came across an encounters page. This girl had a bad experience with Justin. She bought him a really expensive ring, gave it to him....and he accepted it without even a thank you or a smile. I mentioned that little story to my friend Kat, and she said something that really made me stop and think. She said, "What kind of an idiot would spend all that money on someone who doesn't give a rat's ass bout her?"

I didn't even hesitate before saying, "Well what kind of idiots are we then? We spend hundreds of dollars on pictures, cds, videos, and concert tickets on people who don't give a rat's ass about us." Now I know that buying expensive gifts for the boys, such as rings...aren't really the same as buying cds and tickets to see them live. Well then imagine this. Instead of buying this stuff that is affiliated with N Sync for yourself, imagine that you spent all the money that you would use for that on a gift for your favorite N Syncer. Now many of you say that you would draw the line at buying gifts, BUT...you help to pay for the expensive pawn shop-esque necklaces that Joey and Justin wear, etc. So in essence, you ARE giving them gifts. So yeah, back to my point (and yes I do have one).

Well, what I am TRYING to get at is this: What makes us (me in particular) so in awe of these boys? Now, I am not an obsessed scary teenybopper, but I waste my fair share of money on them. I don't know if it's because when NKOTB was around, my parents wouldn't let me spend money on concert tickets and stuff or what. I really am kinda just rambling here, and I apologize if this is uncoherant babble. I don't even know what I am trying to say really. It's just the fact that I have tried to rid myself of my N Sync infatuation, and I can't. I have TRIED watching the original Disney concert, I have attempted even watching "before they were N Sync" performances that I have acquired on tape. I laugh, they help for awhile, but then I slip back into this..."ok, I am freaking myself out because I can't recall what I did all damn day before I liked N Sync..or even knew who they were."

Basically I am just starting to worry about myself in particular. I mean, seriously...I am like 19 years old, and I am practically obsessed (in a good way) with a teenybopper boyband. I am infatuated with them purely based on the fact that one of them is very good looking, and the other one can sing. (The other three I just like making fun of). I am just starting to think that living and breathing N Sync is unhealthy. Although I have non N Sync loving friends, and I have a job and all...it's like..I don't know. Freaky or something. So yeah, maybe I am the only one who is thinking this, but who knows. I guess I will stop rambling now..since this doesn't make sense anyhow. Later ya'll.

Thrust It Outta Here.
