If your name is Justin, chances are you'll win me over.

I really, REALLY hate to admit this but...I've caught a Bieber cold.

I've truly disliked this kid with all my being and I thought that dislike was one constant in my life that I could rely on. I've even had many a heated argument with little kids about how the Biebs is lame, has shifty eyes, and is not to be trusted. However, on my drive home from work a few months ago, that damn Girlfriend song came on the radio. I turned it up and jammed along only to have the DJ crush me with his announcement that it was the new Justin Bieber song. I literally shook my fist in the air and exclaimed,

"NOOO! Damn you Justin Bieber!"

I apologize for using the word 'damn' twice already but I'm seriously irritated that this is going down in my life. And, it gets worse. 

Two weeks ago my best friend and her husband were staying with us and we decided to watch something on Netflix  We were perusing the on-demand options only to stumble upon "Never Say Never". I kind of scoffed but I totally lingered. My friend excitedly said, "Let's watch that!" and I relaxed and said, "Thank God! I really want to watch it." And...I really enjoyed it. Ugh.

I WILL SAY THIS! I still can't look at him straight in the eye. If he looks at the camera, I have to look away and if I want to torture myself I just google-image his name.

Try it. Look into his eyes. You can't do it, can you?

You may have won this one Justin, but I'm still not quite ready to change my dislikes over there on the right so...don't get too cocky mister.
