I am appearing offline 70% of the time because when I go on msn I usually have a specific person (or persons) to contact :\
Other than that, I don't really use the status options.

I am appearing offline 70% of the time because when I go on msn I usually have a specific person (or persons) to contact :\
Other than that, I don't really use the status options.
Unless I'm avoiding someone, I'm usually online with the available message of "Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea." though if I'm upset it will be "Life! Don't talk to me about life!" if I'm confused or of some strange, mixed emotion, it will be "The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate." If I'm on between 3AM and 4AM it might read "Nocturnal and vaguely humanoid".
I have away messages for homework, busy, and actually away, though I rarely use the last; if I'm away, my computer is sleeping.
I talk to everyone who talks to me.
I always put myself available but no one ever wants to talk, lulz.
I am always online waiting for people to talk to me. Please add me! :(

I don't know how any of you can use MSN Messenger. It's horrible and never works.
Horrible? Yes. Never works? lol @ your computer.Quote:

Yeah, I guess people figure if you sign on no matter what, you're there to talk. That's why I just go appear offline when I don't want to talk, because it seems that no one accepts that a person on busy may be busy, or a person away may be away.
What's even better though, is that when my husband would be on Away, he'd have a message next to his name like "Sleeping" and then turn off the sound and the monitor and then when we wake up, he turns it on and has like 6 million messages. Do they not think he's sleeping?
That's one reason I like AIM, because it will tell how long someone's been idle. With MSN they could go "Well I didn't know when you went to sleep" but on AIM you could just go "Dude, it says "I'm sleeping" not only that but I've been idle for 8 hours, that means I haven't touched this computer for 8 hours, seriously do you think I was going to respond."
With MSN, there is no idle time, so people just naturally assume your on, even if you say you're not near the computer or anything. I think all messengers should incorporate the idle timer because it makes things less of a hassel.
What's the point of even being signed in when you're not there?
Commenting yourself on your level of elitism is a very manly thing to do on the internet.Quote:
