I’m a pharmacy tech in a major metro hospital. On the mundane side of the job I put aspirin into med drawers, on the life-saving side I prep STAT amiodarone IVs for people in the ER going into cardiac arrest. At any given point in a global disaster (most likely an earthquake as we’re on the SA fault) I would be called in to triage people and act accordingly.
Am I qualified to like boy bands?
Bullshit. You do not know anyone in your age group who engages in this behavior. And you know it.
Thank you.
There is “Tiger Beat” One Direction and “Internet” One Direction and LOL.
Oh I didn’t say that. I’m saying they don’t care so why do you?
voguevixen is never going to fuck you, Prince Charming. You’re too old.
You mean they don’t say anything. That doesn’t mean they don’t care.
No, I do not age discriminate. See how that works? I’m into George Clooney and my favorite, unattainibly gay Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys (57 I think?) Throw in David Letterman and I don’t know what all.
No, we joke around about it, because it’s funny. It’s not a big deal like you’re making it out to be. Some of my coworkers SALUTED me for living my dream. They get roped into my enthusiasm. I can’t explain it but we enjoy it.
Well, I like you, voguevixen. Just don’t do something dumb like go into a hotel room with these boys. And as long as you can pay the bills, blow your money any way you want.
Um, I could use some, BTW. I swear, I’m the NEXT GREATEST THING EVER, next week!
SQEEE!!!
(Don’t list on StubHub)
Katniss is a GIRL, DUH.
Yea, I have no interest in boy bands, but I kind of like having Vogue around. Partially because I go to Cafe Society so I can get caught up on pop-culture without having to actually experience it. Then at least I know vaguely what the late night comics and my college students are talking about. And we already have like 30 people that drag Firefly into every single Cafe Society thread whether its relevant or not. Having one person that does the same for Justin Bieber at least adds some variety.
I used know a girl whose dad was really into collecting Star Wars crap. He had a whole room of his house devoted to it, and people used to make fun of him behind his back for being “childish”. But he seemed like a good dad, had a fairly high level job so its not like he was burning his kids college funds to pay for lightsabers, and the stuff seemed to make him happy. And he was blissfully unconcerned that he was viewed as “unadult” by some of his peers.
So if your happy with your hobbies and your not hurting anyone, I hardly think you should let the DianaG’s of the world shame you out of them. Let your freak flag fly.
Considering I was one of the few who actually responded to the OP and follow up comment and was ignored, I agree with you.
Perfectly.
In a larger context I suppose the arched eyebrow you’re getting is not so much the"liking", but the $ 1000 for a single ticket liking. It’s just a bit odd for a mature woman to be that emotionally invested in a boy band, whose primary appeal is not so much high musical standards or artistic interpretation as being fresh and sexy for adolescent girls. If a grown heterosexual man confessed to being a Hanna Montana superfan the rolleyes you’re getting for your musical choices would be a kiss compared to the beat down he would get.
Having said that if you’ve got the cash, do what you want!
What about bronies? Surely they have a place in this scale of supposed adults with a much larger than normally appropriate interest in something more aimed at children or other types of nonadults?
Sorry I was away for a sec because I was tweeting Scooter but I am full on for bronies despite knowing nothing about that.
I mean we’re just bitching about Smurfs and Dungeons and Dragons at this point, right? (And auxiliary Duran Duran.)
The major difference there is, again, the difference between “liking something technically age-inappropriate” and “apparent fetishizing an actual person who is actually age-inappropriate.”
Not to mention the whole “different species” thing. Which, if the bronies were advocating the sexual desirability of ponies, would still be fucking creepy, but on a different level.
You know, I once considered creating a line of clothing and accessories for penises based on My Little Pony. I was gonna call it My Little Pants Pony.
They are “Of Age.” Who decides if that is appropriate? Especially if as I say one of them fetishizes OLDER women?
