usually, i only IM ppl first if im really close to them, and those ppl are the few ppl that i talk to regularly on AIM. sometimes tho, i talk 2 ppl, depending on their situation, ie if a friend is going thru drama, then i talk to them and try and help. or, sometimes i just feel like saying hi or good nite to every1, so i do that. takes me about 45 mins to IM every1, hehe :rolleyes2
