You see some really random things in people's away messages. Sometimes it's like an answering machine saying they are away, sometimes it's something funny, a line from a movie or a joke. Lots of girls will use song lyrics to show their current mood. Often you'll even find someone leaving the last word in an argument or a message to their loved one that everyone gets to enjoy.
I realized yesterday how many people are on my list that I just don't talk to anymore. So I went down and started reading away messages. This was my favorite. I don't know if it's a line from a movie, but I hope it's from an argument, because that would be ****in funny:
"because you're such an expert at marraige?!?! what happened to your wife michael . . . oh, that's right, she died."
Go through your AIM buddy list and pick out the funniest...but only if it's funny.
Don't share anything that the person might think is too personal or might give away their identity if they might not like that.
****in ouch. I love it.
