Life may be beautiful...

...but people are weird.

Harsh? Not really. I am absolutely justified in this statement. Why, do you ask?

I have turned into a telemarketer. Of sorts.

Ironic, considering how bad I was at selling Girl Scout cookies.

My average conversation goes something like this:
Random person: Hello?
Me: Hi, is this so-and-so?
Random person: WHO IS THIS?!?

...I would be afraid to be friends with someone who always answered the phone in such a way. They must be very suspicious people.

The other day I called an older lady, told her who I was, and she responded, "NO WAY! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO CALL ME FOR YEARS!!!" ...and then hung up.

Then there's that awkward moment when the person you are trying to call happens to be dead. Which actually happens quite often.

And there's people who have their phone under their son's name, even though he hasn't lived there for 20 years.

I frequently have elderly people tell me that they aren't going to live long enough to make switching insurance worth it.



...I don't understand.

Two Thousand Eleven? Twenty Eleven?

Who decides these things? I don't even know...

2010 was over all a rather nice year. Oh wait, there were those three weeks when I had a second job...I almost forgot about that...not a good experience, for sure.

Aaanyway, I don't even remember most of last year...I got to watch most of my childhood friends graduate from highschool, had my first boyfriend, started college, and drove through KC by myself. Good times. I met a lot of amazing people, and a few not so...

My new year's resolution is: Facebook all the time. Stay up way too late. Get yelled at for breaking quiet hours. Have random adventures.

Just keepin' it real.
