die, justin timberlake, die.

Why am I so tired?  It's only 8:30 in the evening, and I'm ready for bed.  And the sad thing is that even if I went to bed this early, I know I could easily sleep through the night and well into the next morning with no problem whatsoever.  Maybe I have mono again.

I've had a bit of a cold these past few days, so I've been feeling kind of run-down and lethargic.  Luckily, Joe was all energy about going to the gym this afternoon, so I kind of dragged my sorry ass along with him and ended up getting a fairly decent workout despite the fact that all I wanted to do when I got home from work was crawl into bed and watch "Access Hollywood."  I did some time on the treadmill, albeit at a slightly lower speed than usual, but I managed to keep it up for 35 minutes. I probably could have kept on going too, all thanks to the powers of mindless televised distraction.  Thank you, VH1, for showing that documentary--nay,
rockumentary
--about the life and times of Britney Spears this afternoon.  You kept me running.

I've tried to deny it, because it's pretty embarrassing, and, you know, I'm 23 years old, but I think I should just embrace my demons and tell the world that I love Britney Spears.  Not enough to buy her CDs and not enough to go see her vanity-project of a movie, but I'm telling you, if I'm anywhere and an image of her pops up, I will stop whatever I am doing and watch.  I've been analyzing for some time now why I love Britney Spears, and here is what I've come up with:

1.) She's hot.  Yeah, she dresses badly, her hairstylist is often misguided, and her tan has to be fake--but she's little and cute and she has those Chiclet-white teeth and those big perky fake boobs.  People may say what they like about Britney Spears, but everyone acknowledges that she is, at least in that base, Americana way, hot.

2.) She's kind of a whore.  Yeah, she's no Christina Aguilera, but come on.  Lady's a slut!  Did you see her in that "I'm a Slave 4 U" video?  Total whore.  Bring it on!

3.) She's a good dancer.  My favorite dancing, I think, was in the "Crazy" video, with all those little club kids gyrating in back of her while she wore that little midriff-baring green tank top.  Plus, her songs are empty and poppy, making them utterly danceable.  What female reading this can honestly say that they've never danced in front of a mirror while a Britney Spears song was playing on the radio?  Be honest.

4.) Her music is fun.  It's fun, OK?  I didn't say it was great.  I didn't say it was art.  I just like singing along to them and get all excited when the come on the radio.  Britney Spears isn't even just plain bubble gum to me anymore.  She's like, gum with flavor crystals and a gooey core that changes rainbow colors when you chew it and can allow you to blow 75% larger bubbles.

I heart you, Britney Spears!
