Acquaintances ask why I'm not on MSN anymore despite being 'connected' to the Internet pretty much 24/7. Truth is I'm sick of being messaged by everyone only when I can do something for them or they need a favour or some khwaar to check their damn results the next time I'm at the university. Apparently the concept of self help has not yet reached our shores. Here's a bit of unsolicited advice, but then I don't really solicit pleas for help either so I'm entitled to send some free advice out there: next time you all feel the urge to message me to ask me to do something, don't. None of you want to know what's up with me, really, and it's worse when you're ignored for ages and only summoned for small talk leading up to a favour request anyway. I do know that a good bunch of the people this is aimed at don't read my blog so that I may freely bitch about them, so here's a compromise: I'll come online sporadically and you will not message when I am online unless you have some genuine need for conversation with me. I know I may not be the most entertaining or even the most interesting, but I can try. I think I at least reserve the right to ask for the same courtesy aimed back at me.

Today, I hate technology. Except the 'pod. Don't mess with the 'pod.
