Today I came up with the brilliant idea of Googling myself with the idea that once I typed in my name and clicked a button all of these weird and delightful webpages about me I never knew about would come up. I was very humbled to discover that, well, nothing came up, not even this amazing document you are now reading. Wow, that one just hits you in the gut, doesn’t it?
I think I’m about done with Instant Messenger. I never use the thing anymore. And tell me if any of you have had similar occurrences going on: Whenever I see a friend online that I haven’t talked to in a while I IM them thinking they will be just thrilled to catch up. Unfortunately the reaction you usually get is one of reluctant obligation. You get the feeling that the person you are talking to is just fitting you in as they google their own name. Then of course you get caught up in some webpage and you aren’t being very talkative, which I think only annoys the bothered person you are talking to even more. It’s usually more pain than it is worth, as much as I love hearing from these people.
Of course I think Instant Messenger is just about dead with my age group anyway. Everyone is really busy now. I know I am. When you only have a little time off, chatting online for hours isn’t exactly a lot of fun. This is probably why no one ever IMs me first anymore. (I refuse to believe it is because I am an insufferable bore.) Why bother? I rather go out and hang with actually physical people. Oi. I feel like some people are slipping away though. I should probably invest in a cell phone. I really don’t want a cell phone though. I hate people with cell phones. Kill me now.
I actually should get out and hang out with some people again. Stupid snow. My big weekend going to see my friend Josh was ruined because of the freakin’ blizzard. Since then I haven’t shown any desire to get together with anyone. My own damn fault. Sue me if I don’t like driving this time a year though. It sucks.
On the plus side I am making a dent in my DVD collection. I’ve been doing some epic movie watching. Of course that doesn’t ever really help things. They multiply exponentially. It’s sick. Something should be done. I do love it though. One thing I still haven’t lost interest in is movies. I love them. Can’t live without them. You ever want to talk movies, you know who to talk to.
