I sign-in offline. Most of the time I stay offline and only message those who I want to talk to. Eventually I might change my status to online, away or busy depending if I want to be bothered or not or that whoever I talking to wants to send something to me so I need to change my status. If I am going to get the mail or doing something in the kitchen or just away from my computer for five minutes or so, I will not change my status. Very rarely, while I am online, I will end up falling asleep. How that happens is I am set to online but I lay in bed to read and fall asleep in bed. :/

Annoying are those who expect me to reply ASAP. -__-;

Most of the time when I am online people do not message me anyways so I just lurk offline since it is less of a hassle.
