YAY, HUNGER GAMES IS OUT IN ABOUT SIX HOURS! I am trying to see what show I can get to tomorrow afternoon, since I might go with a friend. Still wish I could go to the midnight show, but alas, I have French at 11 and the movie won't be over 'til 3 AM at the latest. I've been shirking my sleeping responsibilities for the night, so I should be good and actually sleep.
In honor of the movie, ( I made this. )
On a completely different note: I've been getting followed by a lot of boy band fans on Tumblr. This is not a problem. I mean, if you know me and have seen my Tumblr/Twitter feed, you know that I have no problem with boy bands. What is astounding to me is the age of said fans. They're in their mid teens and like The Wanted and One Direction (and can I just take a moment to say dude, we're getting new boy bands!, and I really want The Wanted to do a show 'round these parts soon), but at the same time, they are also into the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, and are all, "I've loved them my whole life!"
That right there is the part I'm not used to. Because those groups were my teen years. And I'll read these girls Tumblrs and think, Oh my God, you were in preschool when they were popular! It's enough to make me wonder if they're so hardcore that they have the DVDs and have watched all the videos and like, wonder what it would've been like to see them in 1999 or whatever. Kind of like how I wonder the same thing when I think about Duran Duran. I don't know, man. It's giving me one of those ZOMG HOW AM I SUDDENLY GETTING OLDER moments. I am going to be like all the people who were in their twenties when I first got into fandom if I get into 1D and The Wanted. I am going to be the one corrupting sheltered fourteen year olds. What is this strange new world?
