Okay, let's say that one day, you happen to be really, really happy for once, and decide to talk to some people on ICQ that you don't usually speak to.
You talk to a few ppls and move onto one person that just went into Online Mode. You think "Hmm...I know I shouldn't, but what the Hell..." and you message him with a simple message meant to start a semi-conversation.
And, to your great surprise (*sarcasm*), the person claims to be too busy to talk to you.
Normally, this wouldn't have bugged you, because this person always does this. But today, for some reason, it really makes you angry/upset. You might say, "Oh, COME ON! Are you so unstable that one person pushing you out of the way so they can work makes you upset?!"
My response would be "Of course."
After you get the person's message, you send a reply along the lines of "Sorry....*leaves you alone*" and return to your usual ICQ conversations to talk about this and try to regain a bit of that natural high you had before.
Okay, so after all this, you feel better (thanks to your great friends ) and get up the courage to actually stand up to the person(s) that are always pushing you out of the way.
You send a somewhat antagonistic message to the person(s) and get back a response claiming that they were too busy, and were messaging with 10 other people at the time.
Hmm...lemme think...is it believable that every time you try to talk to this person that they claim to be busy? I think not.
So, so sum it up, I'm pissed and somewhat hurt that my friendly attempts to get this person/these people to talk to me and possibly see me as a friend were constantly ignored.
Go ahead. Make your excuses and apologies. I'm too damn tired of it at the moment to really care.

I am 100% sure that every single person who ICQs me on a regular basis will vouch for the fact that I am busy as hell 99.9% of the time, programming, talking, or maybe even doing homework.
I haven't really kicked back and RELAXED in about 6 months.
Perhaps you should live my life before making rash assumptions about me.

Secondly *to Charles*:
TAKE.
A.
VACATION.
Perhaps if you were not constantly SO busy, you wouldn't snap at people who try to message you just because they're your friends. Not saying that you meant to, and trying very hard not to criticize .... but when was the last time you had an in-depth conversation with any of your OL friends? ... We're here, and we miss you. (Well, most of us do, anyway *GRIN*)

For instance, I'm going to take this time to whine about how hard it is to play the guitar. Take THAT Radiohead. I'd tune it, only my piano is probably a full half octive flat. Besides, does little good to tune it when I can't even strum a good C chord. Practice, practice, blah blah blah. But the thing just doesn't sound right. Yes, yes, it's probably my fault. Of course, it's hard to be a rock star when you're only capable of atonal wailing.
There, see how easy that was? Sure, that was an outpouring of raging self-hatred, but you can improvise.

Come on CC, you can afford to take a weekend of SOMEWHERE. Go out. Talk to people. Have fun. Complain that there aren't any good places to go near where you live. But lots of illegal but fun mind-altering drugs. Stand in the middle of town shouting that Robin Williams isn't funny.
Chill.

Charles sorta had me look at forums before they were posted to the point where I just had to come and see what the uproar is about ..... and I've found that it is good. (obviously, i've probably posted over 20 times already).
Charles: You CAN afford to take a vacation, you just choose not to. And I offically say that the day you do, we're declaring it some sort of unofficial holiday .... like um .... the celibration of belly button lint day or something.... Is it possible? .. Is there life outside your house?
