it's 3 am...do you know what your Alycia is doing?
hi kids...
well, it's 3 am, but i can't sleep b/c i have a cold and i can't breathe out of my nose, so my throat hurts, so i can't sleep, etc... so instead i'm sitting here in bed thinking of what interesting things i can say to you (2?3?) readers out there...
well, the holidays are over, and i for one am tired. i think this is one of the first times when i have understood what people mean when they say that the holiday season is exhausting. i must be getting old. damn.
um...what else...okay, well, here's a mini-rant. Topic: AIM away messages:
so, here's something i've been thinking about that i bet some of you have thought about too. AIM away messages. i really think that they are a very complicated form of communication. at least, they can be, and they definitely are when i use them :o). Here's why: in your away message, you can say many things-stupid things, cute things, normal things like what you're doing at the moment, or you can quote songs or your friends or whatever. but the thing is, when you stick that away message up, don't you usually have someone, or a few someones, who that message is really for? i mean, sure, we all have tons of people on our AIM lists who we either don't remember who they are anymore, or we do remember but are really fine with never actually communicating with them, but then there are those meaningful 'buddies', the ones who you really want to read your away message, you know what i'm saying? ;) like, you quote a song, usually some love song or something, and you can always say 'oh, you know, it's nice, i just like it and wanted to share it', but do you really mean that? i mean, really?? isn't it in there b/c it means something to you? it says something that you want to say but you can't really say it so you say it a wonderfully passive-aggressive way? yes? or, am i the only one who uses away messages as an innuendo and subtext laden form of communication? oh, come on, you know you do it too :o)
