when_people_have_nothing_to_say
Jenna I hate it when people who know you distantly (like my sister's friends) have you on thier AIM lists and just because you are the only one online they *have* to IM you, because they have to talk to *somebody*, and then they expect you to hold up the entire conversation by yourself.

I don't mind unexpected IMs. If you are not close to somebody though, you need to come up with something to say if you initiated it, I think.

Don't let this stop you from IMing me my pretties. This does not apply to blatherskites. You all have interesting things to talk about.

silentbob i know what you guys mean. i loathe those kinds of conversations. if you really have nothing better to say other than hi, then say hi, and dont expect anything else. Let conversations die. its ok. if you have nothing to say DONT SAY ANYTHING. Dont just carry on a conversation with "Yep."
thats usually what i say and then i consider the conversation done.
