*Posers*

::you are listening to "i need love" because this guy obviously needs it::

This is the page that will harbor the conversations I've had on-line with "'N Sync" posers. I'll give some tips so nobody will be suckered into believing these people and getting your hopes up and keeping you from getting hurt.

(NOTE: this is my "I-have-no-idea-who-you-are" approach...haha)

Hey!!
How's it going? Well, a girl I know wanted me to check out this address for her because she wasn't sure who it was and her mom is really leary about her talking to strangers online. Her friend gave her this address and just said to write to it so she asked me to check it out but I think I already said that...lol!! I think her friend said your name was Justin? Is that right? I am totally confused here (as I'm sure you can tell) but I am just trying to help out this little girl so PLEASE bare with me here:oP!! I'm sure I must sound like an ass (if you are considerablly young...don't read that;op) so if ya could, just e-mail me back when ya can:o) Thanks and take care!!
Sincerely, Carrie

8.29.99..."Justin":
Carrie,
LoL....you really have no idea what you are talking about...LoL...it's ok tho, I understand. Anyways, my name is Justin Timberlake *Oh yeah, I bet someone of famous-nature would just flat-out SAY who they are. They'd either know that people rarely believe them or just like them for "who" they are* and I'm 18.(not considerably young..lol) Anyways, don't worry, I'm not a loony, or a crazy psycho or anything like that so it's safe for your friend to talk to me...LoL. ok? Alrighty I gotta go. c-ya.
Justin Timberlake

8.30.99...Me:
Justin,
What's up? LOL, hey, I know what I'm talking about...most of the time:o) You're 18, huh? Me too. Small world...lol. I think that'll be more agreeable to the girl's mommy:o) She's just thinking that everyone online is a 48 year-old pervert. What 48 year old male ISN'T a perv though? LOL!! No, no that was wrong. My dad is about that age and he isn't a perv. Hold it, he watches wrestling...omigosh!! My daddy IS a perv!! LOL!! Kidding!!! Sorry, this is what I do when I "meet" new people...I try to break the ice and its not working too well. Ah, ya gotta cut me a break though...its 12:30 at night and I am just beat down like a crack hoe who owes her pimp money. Being so, I'd better get going. Well, I'll talk to ya later!! Have a good night!!
~Carrie~
P.S. Timberlake? Is that one of those New England names? Let me guess, your mommy's a lawyer and your daddy's a congress man:o) No, don't get me wrong, your last name is a LOT better than mine:o)

9.2.99..."Justin":
Carrie,
LoL...you are crazy...Crazier than my best friend Chris*Ok, this is where he's telling me what he thinks I want to hear.*. LoL, and he's crazy. Anyways, you do make me laugh.*Ew, ok, sounds like a come-on...pervs do this kind of stuff. Be VERY cautious!!* Timberlake is my real last name, not some made up whatever kind of name you said. MY real name is Justin Timberlake.*Ok, say it again please. People "pose" for the attention and this person is clearly trying to get my attention* I still can't believe you don't know who I am*Believe it.*, but that's ok...I understand. Anyways, I doubt your dad is a perv just cuz he watched wrestling, I know girls that watch wrestling...and I know guys that watch wrestling and they think the girls on there are ugly...so....Anyways, I gotta be going, I'll talk to you later.
Justin Timberlake*Who signs a letter with their full name? Not me. Then again, I don't type my "name" over and OVER agin in the same e-mail*

9.3.99...Me:
Hey Justin!!,
LOL...yeah, my daddy likes his wrestling:o) He says its just like "Dawson's Creek" only with more testosterone...then explain to me why NONE of the wrestlers have pit or chest hair (except for the women). Oh and I LOVE how they all let their hair get down to their butt...now THAT is manly!! Hahaha!!
You have a crazy friend named Chris?*Chris? Chris who? Haha!!* Ok, have you ever noticed how people with the same names can be so similar? I mean, almost ALL the guys named "Eric" I've known are dooby-rollin', @$$ faces. Then, all the guys named "Chris" are the ones who are so hilariously crazy. The conspiracy continues:o)
Should I know who you are? Well, I mean, I know you now but should I have known you before that? Is it like a scenerio of "I went to school with you" or is it more like "I was on TV" type of thing? Come on, you gotta give me some kind of hint as to where I would know ya from:o)
Well, I've got to get going. Talk to ya later!!
~Carrie~

9.4.99..."Justin":
Carrie,
actually it's a "did you see me on MTV" kinda thing. LoL...there's your hint. oh, the wrestler thing is easy. They don't have body hair cuz they either shave it or get it waxed. that way they can put vaseline on themselves to look shiny and sweaty and that way when they are wrestling their hair can't get pulled on and ripped out. you know what I mean. That would hurt too much.....I won't even elaborate with that one. Anyways,I gotta go cuz I'm really busy...but I'll talk to you later, c-ya!
Justin Timberlake

9.5.99...Me:
Hey Justin,
Hmmm, a "did you see me on MTV" thing, huh? Ok, lets see here...Justin on MTV...OH OH OH!! Are you that Justin guy from 98 degrees? Naw, come on, what would be the odds I'd talk to someone famous like that online:o) Oh wait...I think I know now. My sister loves this one group with a guy named Justin in it. Hold on, I'm gonna go look at her walls*I didn't really go and look...hehe!! I'm so bad;oP*...I'm sure she's got a poster up there of the guy somewhere ....Ok, it said Justin Timberlake. Hmmm, what are the odds?*Pretty slim* Oh come on, you cannot be "the" Justin Timberlake...what would be the odds of that? Haha!! You're like a cousin who just happens to have the same name, right? Haha!! Who's that 'JC' guy though? I know a guy who looks JUST like that:o)*There I go with the "I-don't-know-you" angle again...lol*
Yeah, I can see as where the wrestlers would go hairless...haha!! The less hair the better I guess. Hold up, they have long hair though...what, they just decide to put all their hair in one place? I just don't get it but, hey, whatever floats their boat:o) Personally, I think all their body hair falls out because of the steriods...Hahaha!!
Well, I'd better let ya go:o) Talk to ya later though!! Take care!!
~Carrie~

9.15.99..."Justin":
Carrie,
I can't believe that you don't believe me.*Dang skippy!!* Yes, I am the "real" Justin Timberlake.*Come on now, say it one more time!! Maybe you'll start believing it!!* I didn't know there was more than one of me. But, I guess it really doesn't matter. But, anyway, that's why I can't write back as much as I like to. I only write back when I get time to get on the net. Alrighty, I kinda gotta jet. sorry this is so short but I got so much stuff to do it's not even funny, ok, I'll talk to you later.
Justin Timberlake

9.16.99...Me:
Hey Justin,
What's up?! I totally understand about the busy schedule deal. I may not be a pop star but I'm pretty darn close...lol!! I work at a video store part time....hahaha!! Yeah buddy!! Its one of those jobs that is its own reward. When you see the faces of the people when the movie they want to rent is 'in'...oh man. That'll bring a tear to your eye:o) Actually, my job is one big suckfest...but its all about the Benjamins baby...actually, its all about the Hamiltons (I don't get paid that much:oP). It just a way to get money together for college (I'm taking the year off) and law school.
Oh, and its not that I don't "believe" you...its just that celebrities are no big deal to me (no offense!!!). I just like to meet people and if a person happens to be a celeb...goody for them. People I know are friends with a lot of big "names" so I know a lot of stuff about a lot of "celebrities" and, really, they are just people to me. No different than some guy or girl that comes into where I work. All except Ricky Martin and MAYBE Matt Damon...lol!! Well, I'll shut up now so you can keep up with your busy schedule:o) Talk to ya later!!
~Carrie~

9.24.99..."Justin":
Carrie,
oh, I totally understand about the non-star struck thing. I don't get all happy around celebs anymore...it's just like another person, but that's exactly how I would like to be treated, as any other person, but I guess it's too late for that now...LoL...A video store job sounds cool. Hey, do you get to reserve some of the new releases for yourself? That would be really cool. Anyways, enough of that, I gotta go, I feel like I don't write enough but I can't think of anything to write without sounding dumb*Or perhaps its because you can't think of anything else you think Justin might say...lol. Just to confuse me...haha!!*...ok, well, I'll just stop talking then, ok c-ya!
Justin Timberlake

9.25.99...Me:
Hey Justin, What's up?! Oh yeah, "stars" are no big deal after awhile. I used to think it was SO cool to have friends who had such well-known friends. The thing is, nobody believes you anyway (lol).
My job...fun?! Hahaha!! Do I reserve movies for myself? I assure you, I use my powers strictly for good...never evil. Haha!! I am so kidding!! I always reserve stuff for myself and all that:o)
What are ya talkin' about...you write enough:oP I just write WAY too much*Tis true* so that's probably it:o) I'm quite the talker:o) Oh and you don't sound stupid!! If anyone sounds stupid its me but you just can't really care and then you'll be good to go:o)
*This is where I make general chit-chat*Hey, have you ever seen the show "Who's Line Is It Anyway?"? I'm watching that right now (I tape it every week;oP). That show is SO freakin' funny!! Hahaha!! Why are Canadians always funnier than Americans? What's up with that? Haha!! Well, after much rambling, I'll let ya go:oP I'll talk to ya later!! Take care!!
~Carrie~

9.29.99..."Justin":
Carrie, hey girl. um, I think I've seen that show once or twice. When does it come on? Maybe I'll see if I can catch an episode. some things just aren't meant to be I guess. But, anyways, I gotta be going. sorry this is so short but I got so much stuff to do tonight. ok, c-ya. ps. what does your e-mail addy stand for?

9.30.99...Me:
Hey Justin!!,
How's it goin' bud?! "Who's Line..." is on ABC every Thursday night at 8/7 central:o) Its on tonight and I am just buzzin' because there is nothing else in this world that can make me laugh like that show can...hahaha!!
Oh and my e-mail addres is just something I could think of:o) I always try to be up-to-date so I always have my nose in the latest news about everything...politics, music, world events...blah blah. The '99 is for my year of graduation so that's how I got "nnews99"..."in-news '99":o)*I'm such a liar!! Its partially true so its not like a full-fledged lie:oP* Not terribly fascinating but what can I do? Haha!!
So how's life been treatin' ya? Mine is alright. I had to work yesterday and this one guy who asked me out (and was turned down) came in and he gave me the DIRTIEST look!! I'm sorry to be boring you with all of this!! Like I said, I'm a talker:o) I'm just hoping somebody will tell me why I only get the losers? Haha!! Well, take care and behave yourself!! Don't be another 18 year old guy statistic!!:o) Later!!
~Carrie~

10.08.99..."Justin":
Carrie,
hey, sup? How is everything? Everything is good here. At least, as good as it gets. Anyways, I'll see what I can do about catching that show. I'm usually not home around that time but I'll try. oh, your screen name makes sence, I was just wondering. Mine is kinda to the point and not creative at all....but I don't feel like changing it. I'm also a news buff. I always hafta know what's going on at the moment. THat sucks about the guy who likes you. But, maybe he's just obsessed...LoL j/k. Alrighty, well I gotta go, I'll talk to you later, I got alot of stuff to do.c-ya!
Justin Timberlake *Hmm, he/she seems to be falling out of the whole "poser" thing because I'm not having the reaction he/she wants me to have.

10.09.99...Me:
Hey Justin!!,
What's up kid?! Good to hear everything is goin' good with you!! Everything is fine with me other than everything, but still...lol!! Oh and don't worry about seeing "Who's Line.." I was just asking if you had ever seen it because I think I was watching that show one day when I was writing you.
That's ok about your screen name being to-the-point:oP I had one like that...at least it was easy for all my friends to remember:o) Yeah, it was pretty obvious, but then again...I didn't care. Haha!! You must get a lot of fan e-mail though. I bet that's cool:o)
OH, I talked to one of my friends who moved to O-Town and she said that you NSYNC guys are working on a few new things? I listen to your music and its really good!! Love it:o) Anyways, she said something about some new songs and some tv movie things. You'll have to tell me about that so I can catch it:o)*And the exposing begins...haha!!* Well, I've gotta get going. Talk to ya later!!
~Carrie~

10.18.99..."Justin:"
Carrie,
hey girl, sup? Nothing much here. Actually, I'm kinda busy I just like to down play it. Anyways, you ask if I get alot of fan e-mail? TONS! I don't even know where half of them get my addy. But I write to them all....most of them are teenyboppers but I enjoy talking to them. Its just that sometimes they kinda get on my nerves cuz all they talk about is how much they love me*nice story*.....ok, new projects? Well, I did a cameo for a movie called Jack of All Trades*Umm, isn't the movie a product of Trans Con...I do believe it is!! Wow, that makes sense that Justin would still be in a movie that hasn't been made yet under management he dislikes? Hmmm, that's a mystery*....so look for it k?*yeah, sure* UM, what else...let's see.. You always seem to write more in your letter than I do, and I feel bad.*Well, trying to expose someone takes time* I feel like a slacker so this one will be long. I even included a stationary to make it pretty....LoL I'm such a wuss....LoL Anyways, I really don't have that much to say that's why my letters are shorter....um, let's see, oh I have a question, you wrote me in the first place for a friend, did see ever get up the guts to write me yet? If so let me know. Ok, well this is the end of my long letter cuz my fingers just cramped...No, I'm just kidding, I gotta go, c-ya!
Justin

10.20.99...Me:
Hey Justin,
What's up?! That must be nice hearing from all your fans:o) Having all those nice things to say about you...ok, I'm jealous;oP I don't understand how any girl could get so obsessed with someone they don't even officially know...ya know what I mean?
Jack of all Trades? What's it about? Is that a theater release?*Hahahaha* I'm sure it'll be great though and I'll make sure to catch it.
Oh and don't feel bad about not writing as much as I do...I'm a talker. I can talk to anyone about (pretty much) anything. So I just say a whole bunch of crap....lol!! Thanks for the stationary though:o) Hehe!! Made me feel all special:o)
Did the friend I have write you? Gee, I have no clue.*Shhh, but it was all a put-on* I know she really wanted to but her mom thinks the internet is evil. Haha!! So if the girl I babysit for hasn't written, that's why.
So, what else is new? Not much here. I ran into a sale and got some new shirts and a new pair of jeans...lol!!*Hahaha, even I run out of stuff to say...lol* Just in case you care...hahaha!! Well, I'd better let ya go. Later!! Take care!!
~Carrie~

11.03.99..."Justin":
Carrie,
hey girl, sorry it's been a while since I wrote back.*That's alright, the life of a poser is a busy one* I've been busy and I felt really bad so now I'm writing everyone back....it's taking me a while but I'm doing it. I need to do stuff like that or I can't sleep.
Um.....teenyboppers.....well, yes they are scary. I mean, they "love" me but they don't even know me. They basically throw themselves at us....I'm just glad that I'm the kinda person who won't take advantage of that...but I do know some people who do, and that's just sad.*At least he's portraying Justin as a nice guy, which is a lot more than most posers do*
I can't tell you too much about my new movie except*Why not? Haha* I have a very small part(just an appearance) and it's produced by Transcon Records *AHA!! Yeah, I bet that would fly* and my mom even makes an appearance. IT's cool. It's supposed to be in the theatures....but I'm not sure. All I know is it's not coming out til Summer 2000, so you have a long wait.
You went shopping huh....thanks for sharing.*Not a problem:oP* LoL. I'm just kidding, I'm glad you aren't dirty or anything and you have clothes to wear.*Uh, thanks. Oh and its nice to know you're very honest..."Justin"* lol. Ok, well I gotta go, I'll talk to you later. c-ya!
Justin

11.05.99...Me:
Hey Justin,
That's alright, I know you're a busy man. Hehe!! I hope you're feeling better though!!! That's really admirable that you are the kind of person who won't take advantage of having fans. I know of some people who take advantage of it too and it just sickens me. I mean, a good portion of them, if they weren't famous...no girls would come near them (*cough*Backstreet Boys).*I know its harsh, but come on!!*
Oh man!! Why the heck is it so hard to get autographs?! I'm trying to get some autographs for my family for Christmas and its so freaking hard!! Man!! I even tried to get my sister some autographs of your group and the best I got was a xerox and I have "connections" in that department!! (by the way "Kris" says "hi"). *And we're zeroing in*
You're still in that movie? I had heard something from my friends about Trans Con having a movie but I didn't think it had been filmed and since the whole lawsuit b.s. I figured it had been called off.*And we zero-in again*
LMAO!! Yeah, I'm glad I have clothes to wear too...haha!! Well, I'd better go. Talk to ya later, punk!!;oP*Yeah, I'll be lucky to get a response to this one...lol!! I hope I do though because I'd like to see how he/she squirms out of it*
~Carrie~

11.19.99..."Justin":
Carrie,
hey, once again I must appologuise *lucky for you, spelling doesn't count...haha*for not writing...I've been going non stop with no sleep....I'm sur I have bags under my eyes droopping off my face. Girl you be dissing BSB...that's not nice..LoL. I would never do that cuz their my hometown boys but I do admit that I feel the same way that you do about the teenybopper issue.
Who are you trying to get autographs from? It's usually not that hard....
Yeah, I'm still in the movie, it was filmed over the summer...so I guess I'm still in it. All the nagotiations and stuff wil be done later. Did you hear about the rallies? Peeps are having rallies in LA, NYC, and Orlando against Lou. Bev(CHris's mom) has basically organized the whole thing....I never thought our fans would really stand behind us like that...it just kinda makes you so thankful you have poeeps that luv ya.
Wow, I'm getting all mushy on ya, sorry bout dat. ok, well I gotta go, I'll talk to you later. c-ya! (I'm not a punk,you....you....you...meany.)*hehe*
Justin

11.20.99...Me:
Hey Just,*So informal. Ohmigosh you guys!! I'm informal with Justin Timberlake. HAHAHA!!*
Alright, that "meany" comment hurt. Why don't you ever know when to stop? I mean, I'm probably gonna be in therapy now...I'll bill ya. :o) Haha!! Just kiddin'...I'm not scarred;oP
Don't worry about not writin'. I have had a really hectic work week so I've barely had time to check my mail anyway. Good Lord, I'm watching MTV and all of a sudden I hear..."You're all I ever wanted, You're all I ever needed." I don't know who the heck sings that crap but PLEASE!! Hahaha!!
I'm trying to get autographs of my brother's favorite band for him and I'm trying to get a few autographs from a couple comedians and maybe a few people from a movie my family likes. Well, I'm going off the whole "give as you would like to receive" theory for Christmas gifts this year.
Oh yeah, I heard about the rallies. I've been getting TONS of e-mail from my friends all about it. My friend is helping out. I think she was going to call the mom in charge to see what needed to be done. That girl's really into support and behind-the-scenes work. I think you know her, but I'd have to ask her to make sure.*I KNOW she knows him, I'm just setting my prey up for the kill...haha*
Well, I'd better let ya go so ya don't get a complex about me writing too much or anything...lol!! Kidding!! I'm kidding...just joshin ya:o) Talk to ya later!! Keep the BSB pride alive in 99...ROTFLOL!! Hopefully they'll start showering next year.*NO offense to BSB fans, I'm just not big into boybands other than for their tunes*
~Carrie~

12.02.99..."Justin":
Carrie,
I'm sorry about the meany thing....I'll try to refrain from calling you such harsh names. I really haev to learn to control my incredibly hostile actions and control my temper. LoL!*You'd better you butt monkey*
hey girl, don't be dissing our song...hey! That's the part I sing....girl, you be hitting me where it hurts.
did ya get your autographs yet? Good luck in getting 'em. I wish I could help but I can't...sorry.
Man, you be dissing BSB bad....I can tell you love them so much, your just their biggest fan. THey don't stink by the way...just AJ....LoL I'm just kidding. ok, well I gotta go before I open my mouth and insert my foot. c-ya!
Justin

12.03.99....Me:
Hey Justin,
You're such a dooby-rollin' crack sniffer!! *My personal phrase...ohmigosh you guys, I'm using my PERSONAL phrase on Justin Timberlake...LOL!!!* Hahaha!! I LOVE the Backstreet Boys!! How can you say I don't? They kick butt!! Well, maybe just a little, girlie butt. Actually, they look like butt-kickees instead of butt-kickERS, but still!! Haha!! Naw, actually I think they are pretty much the nastiest things to crawl onto a stage *Well, just 2 of the 3 to be honest...haha!! AGAIN, no offense!! I don't really mean it. I'm a josher*since those 3 really nasty NKOTB members. But dang it, they sure can sing a song to tap your foot to. You're just jealous...haha!!
OH, was that crappy song I was talking about was YOURS? Well, then I guess it wasn't so bad....considering. Hahaha!!
To answer your question, no I didn't get the autographs yet. What do you mean YOU can't help me? HELLO, aren't you around these "celebrity" people 24/7? Don't tell me you can't grab a permanent marker, walk up to them and say "Ricky, can you sign this for me? Make it out: Shaking my Bon Bon while Livin' la Vida Loca...Love always Ricky Martin". COME ON!! How hard is that? That's alright, if you're too intimidated, I understand. I mean, if you want to be a little girl about it...its perfectly understandable. :oP Hehehe!!
Well, I'll let ya go. Only so much verbal abuse can be given out daily and I still have to talk to my co-workers so...take care:o)
~Carrie~

...more to come...
