Messenger Junkie
Thank God for Messenger! I have the most bizarre conversations though also very educational ones at 4 am, with some of the strangest characters on the planet.
My contact list is full, I removed some people I used to chat with often, but have not maintained the communication, I didn't block them so they can still message me. This allows me room to add more contacts and have even more interesting conversations.
I think it's an excellent way to keep in touch, and for me being such a moron it's a great way to loosen up and express my real thought's (LOL being the quiet and timid creature I am).
Though the major downside is, I am also very sarcastic, and tone cannot be conveyed, which can lead to hurt feelings or angry friends/co-workers. I am also nervous of how honest some people really are online. The other strange thing being how perverse some people will be, even if you know them once they are hidden behind their computer screens. I have had loads of midnight offers, of a much more detailed variety, that can be rather intimidating sometimes, and awkward thereafter.
Messenger has given me a superior way of communicating with many of my family and friends who are scattered around the country. I can talk to as many people as I wish at the same time, or throw them all together to chat, it's phenomenal.
Did I mention I am an addict, blogs and messenger... Addicted.
