Subject: Today has been so strange
Well I talked to some chick on the phone today. Her name was Amanda. It was really weird because she was telemarketer. And she asked for me by name. Not by my usual given name that most telemarketers ask for me by, but by Charlie. So it was kind of weird. She sounded nice so I decided to placate her for awhile. She was very obviously reading from a script and was kind of rushing through it. So I let her give her speil, then I just told her the truth. "You must be misinformed, I don't have a mortgage," I said.
"I think you just invented a new way of saying your not interested," she responded. "You know, alot of people just say that to get rid of us."
"I'm telling you the truth. I'm 20 years old and I still live with my parents," I explained.
"So it's your parents I should be talking to," she said, obviously puzzled by having the wrong information.
"No, they have their mortgage paid off."
"So do you want a mortgage so you can get out of there?"
"No, no thank you."

I just wanted to ask you why you called me a poser.
You don't even know me at all. And just because my name is IndependentTruckerGrl..it doesn't mean I'm a trucker. It's a brand of clothing I think is cool.
And so before you go calling me a "poser" or whatever, you should probably get to know the person.

Just to preface this. I find your responses to be very amusing. My, how defensive people get about things.

First, let me respond to your first allegation. I did not call you a poser. I implied that you may be if you were not truly a trucker. You see this stems from a deep hearted feeling that I have about the names of clothes and what their actual use is. You see, it seems to me that "trucker" clothing has very little to do with trucking at all. Instead it is just a gimmick to make overpriced clothes to sell to unsuspecting pubescents because they seem to think what the wear has some standing on where they stand socially.

I understand your anger, really I do. And of course you may think me an incredibly rude person (or some other colorful adjective). But this is ammusing to me. If you would take the time to get to know ME you would know that I despise fakeness. I despise false outward appearance. There is always something more behind the facade of a person, not matter what they dress it up with. So I just wanted you to know to be yourself, not someone else.

Or I'm not. I'm making my journal public. There was nothing important in Friend Only anyways.
