old.

In addition to turning 23 earlier this week, there's another reason I'm feeling un poco old. Yesterday, I informed my English class that it was Justin Timberlake's birthday. Rather than receiving lots of "oohs" and "ahhs" like I had expected to, I instead received a bunch of blank stares. One of the girls then proceeded to ask, "You mean Justin Bieber?" My spanish may not be perfect, but I certainly know my Justins. haha.

I tried explaining who he was through N'SYNC, his movie appearances, and even by singing a song or two. It wasn't until I showed an online picture of him that they finally recognized him and stated, "Oh.. that ugly guy." Ouch. I guess it's time the frosty-haired JT says "bye, bye, bye" to teeny boppin' girls.
