MSN and it's daily struggles of old.

Everyone has that one friend or family member or takeaway place that as soon as they are online you're there, like a moth to flame. Remember MSN? When you saw...
πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹CHRISISONFIREπŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ has come online.
You were instantly there with a "Hey" quickly followed by a "wubu2?" You see them typing, it's been 10 minutes of the typing and you're sitting there sweating with excitement that today is the day that there may actually be something to discuss! 5 more minutes, it's getting too much to bare! You think about writing something incredibly witty like "Jesus Christ are you writing an essay or something?...LOL" (of course you have to add 'LOL' at the end of every sentence so they know you're joking and you don't sound like some evil little bitch) 5 more minutes pass and you're scrolling through the graphically and incredibly time consuming war zone that is Miniclip.com when suddenly the MSN alert sound goes off. That πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹CHRISISONFIREπŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ is even more fiery as it's now flashing orange! Moment of truth, you open up that chat to reveal... "Not much, you?" Dreams are shattered, but you can't let them know that so you take the dignified, reserved route... "Nothing mate, so bored...LOL" when what you really want to say is "WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO? Well I've sat here at my computer desk for over an hour waiting for you to come online so we can have a chat like we do in school (see the contrast from my last blog when all talking is done via txt and other messaging but back then it's the complete opposite) then you finally come on, I ask about your day and then you make me wait 20 fucking minutes for a three word reply!? If you were not my sole source of entertainment I would block you for this shit!"
End of conversation. Every time. You keep opening the chat trying to think of something to say but you got nothing. Then it happens. The name change to inspirational song lyrics to show everyone exactly how you feel. Forgetting you put that as your name and send a message to a girl or one of your mates saying... 'I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time. I'm here without you baby but you're still with me in my dreams and tonight girl, it's only you and me. Says - Hi'
Just the immediate want to have the world swallow you. Hoping no one puts two and two together and realises your subtle message is not as subtle as you first thought! Then the person that you set the name for messages you "aww those lyrics are so cute, who are they about?" Knowing damn fucking well that they are for them they just want you to say it but you're just not man enough! So you panic and ignore it, then, it happens... *knock* *knock* *knock* that obnoxious blue fist knocking on your screen like some hyped up smurf on steroids ushering you to make an answer... "no one...LOL... they are just lyrics from my favourite song at the moment...LOL" (is it just me or do you HATE it when people put 'LOL' more than once in the same message? I mean your not even laughing, you may be smiling but that isn't laughing out loud that's SAWNA, Smiling Awkwardly With No one Around, nothing needs two LOLs, just no.) you lying little shit.
Oh almost forgot, the absolute shameful admittance to someone you like, painstaking hours of chats and awkward meetings and laughs have led to you plucking up the courage to tell them "I really like you, do you want to go out with me?"... The horror of not getting an instant reply, and then... they're offline.... your life is literally over. When I see people left at the alter I think of this moment and feel their pain. Then, hope, they're online...offline...online...offline...online... enough is enough you start to get ready to write a long arse message about talking about this like adults but instead this comes out "I was only joking LOL I just wanted to see your reaction LOL" coward. "Oh that's too bad, thanks a lot!".... offline! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!
Remember when you would be listening to your favourite music like, Eminem, Three doors down, Eamon, the ketchup song.... but back then when you listened to music it showed under your MSN name for EVERYONE to see. So when you're 10 seconds into screaming out a classic Spice Girls jam you get about 15 messages from people "why are you listening to that?"  Colour drains from your face as you realise what they are talking about. You then fake flu symptoms and take the next 2 weeks off school with zero access to MSN, thinking of your mistake over and over again, think of every possible defence strategy you can say to get yourself out of this hell when you have to go back to school. You walk through the school gates and there's a group of your MSN friends that saw your secret shame standing there. You fear the worst but of course, they don't even remember it and your self importance just cost you 2 weeks of your life. Dickhead.

Anyway πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹CHRISISONFIREπŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ just came online G2G.
