how do you talk to someone online if they're always set to 'Away'?

i mean, without being rude

i don't want to seem desperate or pushy... but seriously

and what is with this new LJ thing? the cropping of pics to fit your 100x100 pixel pic?
i might have to try that out later

but for now
i gottsta study

just say something and see if they're there. i leave my away message up all the time because if not i get people iming me that i dont want to talk to.

I say it's alright to leave a message with someone, and if you don't hear back in a day or two, it's okay to leave a second message. . .but more than that, and I'd say you'd run the risk of seeming too anxious or needy (just being honest).

I normally leave my away message up even when I'm in front of the computer, but that's because 99% of the time, I'm doing work on my laptop. If someone IMs me, I may not even notice until hours later or the next day (I keep all my windows minimized). So, even if that person doesn't go idle and you hear no response, don't take it personally. :-)

Good luck!

P.S., you ARE popular. Duh, Cait!
