WTF is up with the status messages these days...

Why do people take status message verbiage so seriously?

And yes, I've had one too many tonight..................... FACT!

I thought the status message is supposed to be used to alert those on our contact list whether we are online or not, busy or free to chat, and whether one could be bothered or not.

Some use this feature to let everyone on their list know of their personal business... like Mandi, who always types up a paragraph about her ups and downs, and more downs. WTF is up with this? You're making yourself out to be a bigger loser than you were before putting up your status message.

I love the status messages that are up and say "Busy". If you're fucking busy, log off... WTF?

I'm looking at a status message right now that reads "my hand hurts"... Who really gives a shit? Nicole Marie, if your hand hurts... tend to it, go see a doctor, put down the 4 drumsticks and eat one at a time. Do you think anyone from your list cares that your hand hurts?

This is what one chatter told me yesterday about being online 24/7 ... "My computer is on all the time because I have a broadband connection and I hate shutting down my computer and having it start up. And no matter how fast one's computer can be, especially for me, it's a lot easier to leave it on." Then why all the status messages, I asked? Is it really necessary? Finally, I was told... "I am bored, and needed someone to talk to."

Finally someone who was honest with me. It is merely an attention getter. FACT!

Messages like "just got out of the shower" by Lindsay... LOL!!! is only asking for what? Maybe she's hoping Oz sees it and PM's her for some cam action?

A lot of people write where they are and what they are doing, which is somewhat valid, if the message is believable. Messages like "heading to Ron's house for a night of sex" just won't cut it Catherine. If you leave a message like, "eating a gallon of chocolate ice cream with whipped cream because Ron told me he couldn't take me out tonight"... I can handle that. Sad, but the truth.

Some chatters leave status messages up on how they're feeling. "woke up feeling terrible, called in sick to work, leave a message"... Okay blueeyed97fan (Bree) if you're too sick to work, why aren't you too sick to chat? Lay off the fried chicken as midnight snacks, and I bet you'll feel better in the morning. You only work 3 days a week anyway, I don't understand.

Who's attention were you trying to get outovcontroll joe with your "ambiens is the Shit!!!!!!?"
Can't be Linda's as she swore she's not talking to you anymore =)) or maybe it is Chris' attention now that him and Lindsay have broken up and he's all yours again.

Try these out if you want some attention you chat addicts!

-just because I've been online for a whole day doesn't mean I'm ADDICTED... my chair is just COMFY

-the fact that I have been sitting on my butt in front of the computer for about 19 hours does not mean I am addicted... it just means I have no life

-my two biggest problems are addiction to the internet and procrastination... i'm away from the internet now... i'll work on procrastination later

-i'm not addicted to chat im just trying to be the person online the longest

-i am not addicted to the internet, it's addicted to me

-there's this lost cause I believe in... called myself... and remember, rehab is for quitters

-rough day at school... math and alcohol don't mix... don't drink and derive

-when a man talks dirty to a woman it's sexual harassment... when a woman talks dirty to a man, it's 3.95 per minute

-think of it this way... if I were really addicted, would I have this away message up?


Someone stop the room from spinning.................................

THE END!
