Whyy?

Ahh, the inaugral post of yet another person who thinks too much. But for a reason unknown to me, I felt the need to create yet another LiveJournal. Why? Because I know how annoying it is to click onto a Livejournal looking for some mindless babble and all you get is the Wall Street Journal in the teenage vernacular. So, this way YOU CHOSE to click on this. YOU CHOSE to submit youself. YOU KNEW the parameters when you clicked onto it. And if this wasn't what you expected, well, I apologize. There is a Back button for that very reason. I hold no umbrage. After all, mistakes happen - thats why erasers were invented. Go! Be mindless! Read a little slower for me! I could sure as hell use it! After all, I'm doing this because I have completely given up on being a college student for the next few minutes. Our lives can all be defined by this next quote and if you don't believe that it applies to you - use the Back button and go away.

Calvin: Wow, It really snowed last night! Isn't it wonderful?
Hobbes: Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!
Calvin: A new year ... a fresh, clean start!
Hobbes: It's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on.
Calvin: A day full of possibilities. It's a magical world Hobbes, ol' buddy. ... Let's go exploring.

TOPIC O' TODAY: Away Message Affection

    Alright, admit it. We've all seen it. Those sappy love soaked messages proclaiming love for some seemingly anonymous person at the end of someone's away messages. Messages such as: Gone to class
                             I hope I don't fall asleep again! ;-)~

                            *Love you with every fiber of my being!*

Now, maybe I am just bitter because I don't have a seemingly anonymous person to write those sappy, love soaked messages to. But still - basically those messages are a virtual PDA and they drive me nuts. Why the hell do you need them? First of all - WHAT GUARANTEES THAT THE PERSON YOU WRITE IT TO WILL SEE IT? Not to mention that if last weekend you got a little intoxicated and gave your screen name to a person who you were hopelessly leading on and they see it - that could spell humiliation for you (should you ever meet them again, that is.) But moving away from that. Its so dumb! IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP SO HOPELESSLY DAMAGED THAT YOU NEED TO RESORT TO WRITING PROCLAIMATIONS OF LOVE IN A MESSAGE TELLING SOMEONE THAT YOU'RE AT CLASS, SLEEPING OR WHATEVER?!

Follow my logic here. Why is it so necessary that you tell someone you "love" them through the means of an away message? Can't you call them? Are they so blantantly indisposed that you can't spend five minutes on the phone telling them "Hey, just wanted to call because I was thinking about you and to tell you I love you" or leaving them a voice mail message? Call me crazy or heidously traditional but doesn't it seem more sincere to call and tell them than to write it? I mean, I could write that "I am so happy I have you" and have it not mean anything to anyone at all.

Maybe its the idea that you can proclaim your undying love to the masses. WRONG AGAIN! Only those who have your screen name can see it and anyone on your buddy list is someone who you obviously know - so most of them would already know that you're in a relationship. Not to mention that if it was someone who you didn't like very much (Don't lie - we all have them. I have 8) you wouldn't really want them to know. So that whole idea is just plain unfounded.

And so the jist - STOP WRITING SAPPY, SLIGHTLY DISGUSTING LOVE PROCLAIMATIONS IN YOUR AWAY MESSAGES! SERIOUSLY, PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL. THERE IS NOTHING TO BE GAINED FROM THIS BUT ULTIMATE DISASTER AND THE REALIZATION THAT THE WHEN THE MATURE TRAIN TOOK OFF - YOU MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE BATHROOM.

*~*~*~*~ In Summation*~*~*~*~

So, there is my bitch about that. Now, I realize its disjointed and not really all that cohesive. I'm tired and I have a Psych test tomorrow. My notes don't match up with my book and vice versa. Its making me homicidal and the gnawing fear of failure is slowly and painfully taking over. Not to mention that my head is splitting open from no sleep. So I shall leave you now.

Until Later!
