Turns out, it is a pretty entertaining show, but Im still glad I waited.

I say that as someone who played a teenager until I was thirty.

I wear big-ass headphones over my ears for a reason!

Theres no nice way to say this!)

Gabby SidiBae(@GabbySidibe):Look.

I dont care for dinosaurs.

If I cant ride one, what do I care what lived billions of years ago?

You didnt even know it had feathers until like three years ago!

Mind ya business, stupid!

(Look, I know Im in the minority here, but I really hate dinosaurs.

Maybe hating them is how I process my fear that one day theyll come back somehow.

I couldnt sit through Jurassic Park.

Im so grateful that we dont have to live beside those giant monsters.

What will we do then, society?!)
