NOTES ON NOTES
[BACKGROUND] i don't know why i did it, but evidently, this was written in notepad on march 12, 2006 at 6:25:26 PM. i found it recently, and i still feel similarly to what i wrote, so here goes. from my heart (hah) to notepad to grabaduck.
[PURPOSE] i think i wanted to shoot somebody in the foot on that fine march day, but channeled my anger into words instead. hurray, for the sake of someone's feet.
PS: i wrote "OK" when i was writing this. i never write "OK." obviously, this is solid proof that something went terribly wrong that day.
"AOL: THE PROFILES"
listen.
i'm different.
i'm supposed to be doing english homework that was assigned last monday, and now it's sunday, and it's incomplete.
kind of like the backstreet boys' song.
i own a u2 ipod. if i had a nickel for every "huh? u what?" reaction, i'd have a lot of nickels. you're all kind of stupid, i'm not going to lie, but don't worry; everyone's all a little kinda stupid. don't be ashamed.
when i'm online, i'm usually not on AIM, but when i am on AIM, i will be there. eh, most likely. not. yeah, i lied. while everyone puts on their fancy away messages, i don't, but i'm usually not there anyway. don't homigosh freak out. actually, if anything, i'm more alarmed when people are on AIM. my life is spent away, but i don't need a message to tell the world. why is it i'm the pariah for harboring such a belief? welcome to the millennium, connie. this is our future.
i mostly don't use them because i'm too lazy. people seem to use away messages as a means of communication now; song lyrics, suicide notes, declarations of love. grocery lists.
besides, you all seem frightened by away messages. the only thing to fear is fear itself, and in this case, you're a loser for being afraid to IM me because there's a 1x1 pixel of this yellow scribble next to my name on your buddy list.
my profile hasn't been changed in ages. i really don't do any of that. it's nice of AIM to have said features, but i really don't look at anyone's profiles. try not to ask me, "did you see my profile??" no. chances are i know who you are; i don't need to see a shitty profile with rainbow colored words and dingbats to tell me who you are.
i'm on invisibility more than you think, and yes, that usually means i don't want to talk to you.
you can tell people my screen name, but i'm a strong believer of asking the person yourself; if you don't have someone's screen name and he didn't give it to you willingly, then chances are, he doesn't want to talk to you either. it's like giving someone's phone number. at any rate, i am on privacy - only users on my buddy list can contact me. because once upon a time, i had five new IMs every day. while AIM is a perfectly OK place to meet people (and begin stalking days), i stick to face-to-face confrontation, so if you want to talk to me. stalk me.
i'm usually not this condescending, or at least i don't sound that way.
stalker(s)
