"we can hang out".

7. If you are male and see a female in the "Real"
world that you wish to meet, your first thought is to
IM her.
8. If you are female and you see a male in the "Real"
world that you wish to meet, your first thought is that
you wish he'd IM you.

call Pizza Hut.

always "yelling" at you.

people won't know you're on-line again.

on-line & when they complain that your phone was busy
you claim it was off the hook.
