random teenagerness...

i think i was born to be a teenager... except for when i actually was a teenager... that was awkward... when i actually was a teenager... but now?  i make an awesome teenager... just ask my kids... not that teenagers should have kids... but go ahead... ask them... they'll tell you... and so will their friends... yeah, i'm that mom.

i have a million examples, but i'll narrow it down to 16...  or 6... i can be lazy... like a teenager...

on our way to the concert!

1.  me and my daughter at a big time rush concert.   i was jumping around, screaming, and singing along like every other teenage girl in the place... also i knew all the words to the all the songs... and i was wearing the t-shirt... when we meet them in september, we will be sporting carlos helmets... if none of this makes sense to you, it's because you are not a teenage girl... which i clearly am... team carlos.

2.  i'm taking my daughter and her friend to the justin bieber concert in october... and i think i might just be more excited about it than the both of them put together... we will be making t-shirts, sporting fondue forks, and stalking the tacoma dome area that day in the hopes of running into scooter braun and scoring some front row tickets... if you don't know who scooter braun is, then you're not a teenage girl... which i clearly am... beliebers!  (go ahead and judge, i know you want to, i'm probably judging your choice of footwear anyhow...)

at the hpdh2 midnight premiere...

3.  midnight movie premiers... i've been to several... they are 95% occupied by teenagers... and nobody in any of them would've thought me any different... prime example... the final harry potter movie... i was in row with 27 teenagers... that's right... me... and 27 teenagers... and i was taking pictures of people's blow-up broomsticks and posting them on facebook... they looked like giant blow-up wieners and i thought it was funny... i'm totally a teenager.  and there was also the matter of the stealth acquisition of the special harry potter 3D glasses... but we weren't seeing the 3D version... i'm so not a great role model... :D

4.  i have pretty much every social network covered... facebook, twitter, tumblr, instagram, viddy... blah blah blah... and my kids... and many of their friends... are my friends on these social networks... but not cuz i need to check up on them... cuz thankfully, i have incredibly smart and awesome kids (if i do say so myself)  and their friends are pretty awesome kids too... except for that one kid... there's always that one kid...

5.  reality shows... i watch them... especially the ones targeted at teenagers... like jersey shore... i'm not ashamed to admit it... pauly d is hot... cabsrhere!

6.  the gutter... that's pretty much where i take every. single. conversation.  not everyone finds this entertaining, but thankfully my kids, my friends, and my kids' friends are right there with me... i can be extremely inappropriate at times... giggle fits have ensued...

7.  psshh.  i'm done... i wanna ignore my homework and take a nap... but first, food.

note:  for those of you that care... i am also a responsible adult when i need to be, it's just not as fun as being a teenager :)
