when i really want to let people know how i'm doing I do it with a song quote. of course, this is just letting them know what mood i'm in. i'll go and talk to my friends if there's really something on my mind.

this technique can be subtle, but it really depends on the quote or whatever you're using. this semester I've been in a totally different time zone from most people I talk to, so I have really fallen out of the AIM Away Message drama crap. I had to put up all new aways, and i've done a better job of not seeming so emo-angsty about it. I'll admit, for awhile I was among those ranks...

my rant:
you send out a text message to a group of friends to meet up. none of them respond, so you don't go to the meeting spot. then you get an angry phone call/message being like 'Where are you? We're all waiting!'
that's what the fucking reply option is all about you dumb bitches!

@ero-fan. Love the new quote in your sig! Murphy all the way baby!
