My plans to start writing this article and to
do all of
my homework were all made null and void by one conversation. We all
turn to IM
to procrastinate once in a while, but sometimes it can turn on you.
Tonight,
for the first time, I spread a very silly chain message. The whole
night was
wasted by my little sister sending me this:
"something good will happen to u 2nite at 9:22 PM. This is not a joke.
some1
will either call u or will talk to u online and say that they love u.
do not
break this chain. Send this to 13 people in the next 15 minutes good
luck with
ur crush"
At first, I was insulted that the snot-nosed little 13 year old that
penned
the message thought I would be dumb enough to pass it on. But then...
I did; I
passed it on, and it started a series of events that wasted away my
whole
night. I sent the message to what its pre-pubescent author would
describe as
my "crush." This conversation started off boringly enough, but perhaps
spurred on by the intention of the chain message, ended up being some
of the
best IM flirting I've ever been apart of.
And so the dumbest chain message I've ever received wasted away a
whole night.
But, the message also got as close as it could to fulfilling its own
silly
promise. As I now wonder how this happened, I've realized what was so
different. The conversation worked on a totally different level, even
if it
was a playful flirtatious one. But that was enough to hold my interest
with an
iron grip. As the deadlines and expectations that usually govern
my "productive" time slipped away, I was able to enjoy the simple silly
pleasures of flirting.
