Status Messages

Do you YM? (Do you use yahoo messenger?) What's your status? Available? Yeah, me too! (No, not that...)

Status Messages feature is one of the best part in using a YM. Being infinitely online (as my room mate is scarcely present - supposedly we share the same line), my status messages tells all the people who have me in their list about what I'm currently doing, or feeling.

For the past weeks, I had been busy; thus, my status always say that I'm studying this and that... but actually not! When I meet classmates before an exam, they seem to expect from me that I had studied. It is because they saw my status with the name of our subject with "studying" attached to it. Behind the "serious" status message, I just really waste time reading manga, surfing the net or maybe sleeping! The status message I usually post is an act of a reminder that I should be doing it. To no avail, it fails.

Sometimes, status messages is a way into bragging something you have or actually doing. In the meantime, reading other people's status messages are also usually entertaining and interesting. Some may go mushy, some may sound busy, while some have no sense at all. It is also one way of looking into their personality.

So, what does your status tell? (It's too complicated - hahaha taken from friendster. What kind of status is that anyway?)
