why Tom can't see

Feb 04, 2002 15:02

Sometimes, while at work, I log onto AIM just hoping to see this guy; we're never logged on at the same time (well, once). It's kind of pathetic and maybe a bit spooky, stalking someone I hardly know. But whatever.

We all have our illusions.

speaking of AIM, I've noticed that you're never on. I add everyone's AIM names to my buddies list when I add them as LJ friends. I don't use 90% of them though. I just like to do that cyber stalking thing, watching them come and go. creepy, yes?

yeah it's creepy, but everyone does it. Everyone hopes someone is doing it to them as well; i'd love to have a cyber stalker.

... I plan on starting to stalk all my LJ friends. It'll give me something to do during the eight hours a day that I am trapped at work without anything to do.

I don't really hope that someone is stalking me. sure it'd be a nice ego boost if I knew about it, but I don't see how I would. so it wouldn't affect me. but it would be impossible to stalk me effectively. I'd be too interested in the person stalking me. eventually it wouldn't count as stalking anymore.

on my other website, I had a visitor start sending me Edgar Allen Poe poems. After two, I wrote them back trying to open up some sort of normal communication. They freaked out (apparently) and never visited my site again. (info via my statmeter) If I found someone watching me from the bushes I'd probably invite him in to watch tv or something.

I'm on... wanton_bliss February 4 2002, 15:59:21 UTC

... but rarely and for short periods of time (hence my inability to properly stalk my prey).

The thing I hate about being on AIM is that you end up chatting with people (who would've thought?) It's not that I hate chatting with people, it's that I possess a remarkable inability to extricate myself from conversations. This applies also to phone conversations and has thus resulted in many 4 hour phone call (despite protracted periods of silence). I don't know what it is. I just don't like to be the one to cut things off.

I give, and I give, and I give.

I'm actually on AIM for more than 8 hours a day due to work. I suppose I should just add my LJ friends to my work account's buddy list, then I'd never have to log on. I haven't done it up to now because I didn't want someone walking by my computer and starting to chat with an LJ friend.

Re: I'm on... greywanderer February 4 2002, 16:17:08 UTC

golly gee. if you have that much of a problem, then I wouldn't want to chat with you. :-) I know what you mean though. I've become very skilled in saying "okay time to go" when it's time to go. any normal person isn't going to take offense at that. so make sure you only talk to normal people. :-) I know you love these little smiley faces. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

god I'm overtired or hungry or stressed or undersexed or something.
