Don't be shy girl go Bananza, Shake ya body like a belly dancer

So I went to the mall today to look for a birthday gift for my baby brother who's 20 today. I got him a BBQ cookbook, some spices, and a 6 pack of Budweiser Select bottles. (yes I realize that not all those things were actually from the mall!) I got a new pair of blue jeans. I finally broke down and paid like the $30 for the American Eagle ones. I decided it would be worth it to just buy them there since they're the ones I love and wear all the time. That puts my blue jean count up to 3. I don't even know what to do with myself! Now I'll take 6 minutes instead of 5 to get ready cause I'll have to decide what jeans to wear!
There was a place called "Adopt and Shop" that the Humane Society owns. I went in to look for a little bit and had to leave after like 3 minutes. All these dogs were just laying in their cages. I was almost in tears cause they looked so sad. I'm going to cry now just thinking about it. Well anyways the moral of the story is I wanted to take them all home with me and just love them. Those puppy eyes really got to me.
I've come to the realization that I kinda like teenagers. I've always been one who's loved little kids (2-10ish maybe). But I've decided that teenagers can be pretty cool. I'm not a fan of the "I'm the center of the universe and the world should revolve around me" attitude. But they just take everything so seriously and everything revolves around drama. They are in love with every single person of the opposite sex and gossip about them at all times. They blare the radio and sing as loud as they can. They think that everything about life isn't fair. They push every boundary and limit that they can just to see how far you'll go or let them go. I thought this stuff would drive me crazy but usually it's pretty cute and they're a lot of fun. Things are never dull. There's always something.
Ok well I think I'm gonna go hang with my dad and have dinner. Then either straight to bed or maybe a dance party to clean my room (and you can't say anything cause you know that you all do it too.)
