Messenger Contact Garbage

Ahhh the Messengers...as if 1 isn't enuff...there's many of them...ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, AOL...I guess those are the big 4...there's probably more but just trying to keep up with those is plenty for me. I was never a big advocate of AOL and therefore tried never ever to install any AOL garbage on my computer...here i am 15 odd years after having bought my 1st computer (but not my only) and I'm still keeping true to my word...NO AOL!!

I use to use ICQ but too many instability issues not to mention hacking problemos causing me to abandon that service...which left MSN and Yahoo...i hardly ever use Yahoo anymore...more of a backup in case u meet new people and they usually have Msn or Yahoo and soo...yahoo hangs around for me even though i never go to it. So that leaves MSN Messenger as my regular service...I love MSN...u can't have offline messenging (which is not always a bad thing) but love everything else about it.

The problem is my contact list...YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! It's HUGE!!! Why do I do this? I just have a really hard time deleting people despite the fact that I NEVER EVER talk to them anymore...so why do they continue to take up space on my list?! Why?! Is it because i just can't let go? Is it because I feel Bad? Is it because i'm an idiot? Am I OCD? WHY DO I DO THIS?!!! Some of these people do log in but despite that I STILL NEVER EVER speak to them! I have people on my list that I don't even like!! How messed up is that? (rhetorical question)...So why is this list of what's now 46 names just SOOO BIG?! I can't really pin point the exact reason...maybe a combination of the above reasons...maybe some other unknown reason as well...who knows...all i know is it's time I clean house. If people don't communicate they should be eliminated...it's really that simple...So on January 1st 2006 it's time I start.

My friend said that she was organizing her Msn address list...OMG...let's not even go there. I have email addresses on MSN and Yahoo that I don't even know who on earth these people are anymore! Although in my defense...i hardly ever use yahoo email...just for junkmail...and msn i never even use the address book...names get added automatically...i have got to fix that in the options menu...i just don't bother deleting names in the address book cause it's not in my face so to speak...not like the MSN Messenger contact list...where i see it everytime i connect.

So that's it...this is my New Year's Resolution...Beginning January 1st 2006 (or as soon as i log in in the new year)...I'm going to delete all Eroneous MSN Messenger contacts that I Never Ever speak to anymore...because although I did clean up my messenger list about a month ago...i still have contacts i never see anymore...this list should go from 46 to less than 25...of which about 15 are actual friends...i figure i delete phone numbers out of my cell phone regularily so why should this be any differant...well it shouldn't. It's time to clean it all up...and I suggest that any1 that has the same problem to do the same...let's bring in the New Year FRESH!

Happy New Year Every1...Don't Drink And Drive :)
