Continuing my occaisional attack on teenyboppers…

::: annoying thing #1 :::

Why do you always type in bright colors when you send me an Instant Message? I mean, it’s REALLY hard to read pink writing on a lime green background, yellow writing on a light blue background, lime green writing on a pink background, or any other variations.

Way to avoid this Teenybopper Act:

Try typing with a non-neon color on a white background. It will only help the person you are talking to, and it’s not as annoying when the background doesn’t keep changing in the IM box.

::: annoying thing #2 :::

Must you really use 20 question marks when asking a question? I assure you that one question mark will suffice (be just fine – big word, I know). It’s quite annoying to get an IM like this (and I am quoting directly from an IM that I have received in real life): “aberz—–: whats ur web site again??????????????????” Another annoying variation of this problem is this:

‘?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?’ Last time I checked, there was no rule written that said you have to put this after every sentence.

Way to avoid this Teenybopper Act:

“Hi, what’s the addy to your website again?” It gets the point across just the same and there’s an added bonus! You sound intelligent! Imagine that. As far as the ‘?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!,’ PLEASE PLEASE (I can’t stress this enough) only use it for things that really DO excite you to the point of a damn orgasm.

::: Annoying thing #3 :::

“OMG, JUSTIN IS SO FINE!!!!!!!!!!! How can you think that he’s NOT?!?!?!?”

Way to avoid this Teenybopper Act –

Not everyone is going to think that Justin Randall Timberriver (pardon me… TimberLAKE) is the finest guy on the face of this earth. Just don’t try to convince everyone that he is. ESPECIALLY BSB fans. It just won’t work and you will end up looking like a dumb@ss. Everyone has their own ideas of physical beauty and Justin won’t fit into everyone’s definition. Just let it go.

::: annoying thing #4 :::

‘I am going to marry JUSTIN!!!!!’ Yeah… right… you and 2 million other prepubescent girls. Get over it. You are not going to marry Justin — ESPECIALLY if you are under the age of 18. Ever heard of statutory rape? Look it up sometime. This doesn’t mean that Justin can’t be your favorite. Just get over the fact that you think Justin is going to seek you out, sweep you off your feet, and marry you in Las Vegas. It will not happen.

Way to avoid this Teenybopper Act :

‘Justin is my favorite member of *NSYNC.’ Although, I will still throw you in the teenybopper category if you tell me this… until you prove me otherwise. Which a few people have (Shout out to Jen, Dorothy, and Ashlee! lol). I really do have a section on my buddy list called ‘Teenyboppers’ just in case you thought the ‘throw them in the teenybopper category’ was figurative.

::: annoying thing #5 :::

How you only like *NSYNC because Justin is in it. I GUARANTEE that as soon as someone cuter than Justin comes along (yes it IS possible…) that all you boppers won’t even like *NSYNC anymore. You change your minds too damn quick. You need to think about the real reasons you like *NSYNC. If ANY of them consist of ‘Because Justin is hot’ then please spare us and just stop being a fan today. Sorry to sound so harsh but COME ON! It’s all about the music and how their personalities work together in a group.

How to avoid this Teenybopper Act :

Decide your reasons for liking *NSYNC. If you have to write them down on a piece of paper, it’s okay. Just figure out why you REALLY like *NSYNC. Acceptable reasons: their personalities, their wonderful voices, their dancing, their live concerts…. And notice that all of those reasons started with ‘THEIR.’ Of course most people have their favorites in *NSYNC but you need to realize that *NSYNC wouldn’t be who they are today if ONE of the members was missing. Like JC says: ‘It’s like your hand… you know… that’s it.’ Like *NSYNC the group for their music and personalities, not because Justin is one hot babe. If you don’t agree with this theory, then you seriously need to grow up and/or find something else to drool over.
