Before you ask, no, I did not watch the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, and before some of you start off with, “Well, that’s kind of your *job*, Sarah, to subject yourselves to these (sometimes- but always-in-the-case-of-Kids’-Choice-or-Teen-Choice-Awards horrendous shows),” but let me correct you—no, it’s not. There is not a person in this world paid enough to sit through three-plus hours of Justin Bieber, unless, of course, you’re Justin Bieber. OK? What did I do, then, last night? Well I barbecued. I had fish and corn and sausage and I fell asleep by 8 PM. That’s what “heat” and “age” and “overeating” do to a person, you know?
