Is there a laxative for the constipation that results when a writer is unable to put the thoughts in her head onto paper? If so, I really could use it right now in a particular instance.
In other news, my online friend, Aaron, is irritating me lately. "Hey," he says via IM by way of greeting, which is how he has begun almost every conversation he has ever had with me. Usually, I respond in kind within a few seconds, and we have a very pleasant palaver, but this has changed in recent days.
Of late, I've only been in the mood to talk with people if I am the one to initiate the conversation. Otherwise, I just ignore everyone, or extricate myself from the discussion at hand as quickly as possible. It is my right to do so; I am by no means required to speak.
I'm finding that patience is not a virtue of Aaron's. A mere minute after he IMs me he sends IMs such as "??" and "Where are you?" It's annoying, and I wish he wouldn't be so damn clingy. The whole thing freaks me out a bit, too. Why is he so damn desperate to talk with me? When people don't respond to my IMs, I don't keep IMing them incessantly. I leave them alone. I wish he'd leave me alone.
People can be so strange.
