A Seasonal Walk Down Memory Lane

Listen.  It's certainly been a long time since I was 14 years old.  Longer than I like to think about.  I have changed in a lot of ways, but every now and then, I am reminded that in some ways, I am very much the same.

For example, I think as long as I live, there will never be a time when JC Chasez does not make my heart explode a little bit.

[Ed. Note: At this point, if you do not know who JC Chasez is, I am certainly not going to explain it to you.]

I came across a video of him performing at the Trevor Project Live this weekend:



I mean, honestly?  True Colors?  One of my favorite songs, ever.  Cyndi Lauper is my girl.  And I don't care how old I am, or how old he is, he still makes my knees a little wibble-wobbly.

And then I came across this seasonally-appropriate little gem:



Heart.  Melting.  Their voices are like a sweater to my heart.  And you can quote me on that.  And Justin's sweater is like a sweater to....well...it's really fucking soft.  What's funny, is that at some point, I have watched this performance enough times that I can close my eyes, listen to this song, and mimic JC's hand gestures perfectly.  It's a sickness. 

And to think my NSYNC obsession came before the days of YouTube is just outrageous.  All of the EFFORT I put in to programming our 1983 VCR to record their every appearance, only to be outraged when the VCR refused to work during a very important TRL interview, or awards show performance.  All those VHS tapes that I still....have....in my closet. 

Anyway, back to the video....can I just say I miss THIS Justin Timberlake?  Where did THIS Justin go?  I mean, look at that adorable little angel face?  Those caterpillar eyebrows that never quite completed their crawl across his forehead.  I miss that Justin.  New Justin is kind of douche-y. 

Sigh.

File this under: sometimes I feel like I'm only blogging for Leah.
