madly busy on a webproject, big changes in store for a surreally blogger who shall remain nameless. holding myslef back by my own hair to keep myself out of the IM, which if i get sucked into that particular vortex, all will be lost, project-wise.
i used to while away hundreds of dozens of hours a week in the IM, then i more or less went cold turkey. and i changed my screen name and started fresh. and now, the ole buddy list is more interesting than it’s ever been. such potential for delightful chat. just a click away.
oh maybe if i just log in for a little bit. how can that hurt?
NO, kd! Don’t do it! Remember your comment about chats–”it’s such a time sink.” Be strong!
(snort)
Oh, but it’s such a pleasurable addiction.
Grins…rainbow, you didn’t really think she’d listen to me, didya?
i haven’t gone. i have been working on the project off and on but the stress (and subsequent beer consumption) of the weekend has left me quite fuzzy-headed, so i won’t be finishing tonight.
if i go now i’ll stay up too late again.
i wanna stay up too late. no i don’t. yes i do.
All this restraining yourself but when I’m on there (as always, 24/7) I never see you. Maybe it’s as usual, you go on sometime after midnight my time, which may explain it
Honestly, I don’t know how you can do it. I had to take my handle off my site because everyone and their mother would IM me. Ten windows at once? I should win a medal for speedtyping.
Instant messaging made itself quite a useful tool for talking for hours about absolutely nothing, in my case. I had to give it up completely.
i think it adds to the sense of community, and the group chats are great venues for planning world domination and things of that nature.
I’ve never really understood the attraction of IM. Then again, I thought bloggers were idiots, until I started a photo webpage that mutated into THE BLOG THAT ATE MY LIFE!!!
FOUR DAYS ‘TIL BLOGCON!!!!!
yes, but i so miss the surreally chats…
ok, that was ok. couple hours in and out of the IM, about 80 minutes of the free nationwide sprint time. not bad.
i still am not done with project, or even well-enough started with it, but i have a couple days. and i can do it.
bad thing is i’ve barely been able to read blogs. if only i could eliminate sleep from my life, i’d almost have time to do all the things i want to do.
