Away Messages

What are some of your favorite AWAY messages for IM?

I'm lost. I've gone to look for myself, so if I get back before I return, please ask me to wait.

A friend will bail you out of jail, but a best friend will sit beside you in jail and say, "Damn, that was fun!"

I'm not here right now, so cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it.

Hello! This is Goldilocks. I'm busy right now eating porridge with the three bears, be back as soon as we settle which bowl of porridge is juuussst right!

My two favorites:

"My away message can beat up your away message."

"Ripping off mattress tags. BRB."

I love away messages...they can tell you what I'm doing, or how I'm feeling. Here are a few of the best:

**Greek influenced away message (I stole it from a Phi Delt I know at UOP):
Hey, how ya doin'? Listen, it sucks to have to be the one to tell you this, but you didn't get a bid to talk to me on IM. But you were really really close, I mean that. A lot of people came out this year, and you missed it by just a few votes. It was mainly the seniors who didn't want you. Dude it was a really tough bid meeting, and a lot of guys just didn't know you. So be sure to come out next year and rush my screen name again. Everybody wants you to. I mean, we all really like you, you just didn't get in this year. Oh, and definitly still come out and party with us. Allright? Later man.

**Sleeping away messages:
very tired...must sleep...can't type anymore...leave messageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sleep is good...so is beer...mmmmm, beer...

**Crashing classes away message:
Out trying to figure out who I have to bribe, blackmail, or sleep with to get into the classes I want! ERRRRR!
Disclaimer: This is just a joke. I'm not actually going to bribe, blackmail, or sleep with anyone.

**Fun away messages:
Runnin' from the cops!

Out of order!

Tag, you're it!

**These away messages were from my last night in the dorms...I had a lot of fun and for some reason changed my message way too many times, and saved them:
ok, so i haven't really started to pack yet...and i there is a keg tonight...and i leave early tomorrow...what to do???

ok, so i drank tonight....and i still need to finish packing....i will miss sd....i don't wanna go home....why??? for the love of god WHY????

yes, i'm drinking right now...yes, i have a beer in my hand...yes, i'm breaking quite hours...no, i'm not done packing yet...

ok, so we drunk, i try to pack, we all jump in pool....fun, fun, fun!!!

leaving the dorms for good at 10 am...and its 4 am...we just got our first noise/alcohol

I saw this one someone's away message once......Don't remember who it was though....I thought it was cute

One of my favorites doesn't apply anymore but it was when I was doing pre-student teaching hours at a suburban school where the kids tried to act ghetto...

* Doing my pre-student teaching hours at a school Gina likes to call "Dangerous Minds"...pray for me!

I also like...

* I'm trying to procrastinate...and you're distracting me!
* Places to see, people to do...ooops, I mean places to go, people to see. Be back later!

and I have one that is like AOX81's "lost."

One I used a lot at work was "I am the Mack Daddy of Interns"

Here's a couple more:

404 - Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message "404-URL Not Found," meaning that the requested web page could not be located. Used as in: "Don't bother asking him... he's 404, man."

"A is for Academics, B is for Beer. One of those reasons is why I'm not here... O:-) Leave a message!"

"I would never do crack... I would never do a drug named after a part of my own ass, okay?" Denis Leary

Working on Operation Ko-Samuai ;-)

Ohno-Second - That miniscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake.

Places to see, people to do...O:-)

Today is Salmon Day...The experience of spending an entire day swimming up stream only to get screwed and die in the end.

Umfriend - A sexual relation of dubious standing or a concealed intimate relationship, as in "This is %n, my ... um...friend."

xok85xo · #10 08-21-2002, 07:05 PM

i usually quote movies, tv or music in my away messages..some of my favorites are:

"i didn't think it was possible, but this both sucks and blows"

"i once got busy in a burger king bathroom"

"i guess i lied to you when i told you i liked baseball, its not so much the game i like its the hats"

i have some really good ones..but i can't think of them right now..but in reference to the one hootie mentioned before -

haircut & highlights - $150
really cute sweater - $30
dinner at hooters - $12

looking fabulous when you run into your ex - priceless

I honestly found some of my more humorous ones this past week

This one came after a fight with an ex:

"Glad I had a pointless conversation with Mike this morning, now I'm doing my hair...something WAY more important!"

This one is from a class last semester that I absolutly hated:

"ABM class, what do I really need this one for? Obviously I'm not an expert on the mango and banana markets in Africa, yet "Spoon" is... Have I mentioned that I hate this fucking class?"

One time my mouse on my latop died, so I had to wait and get it fixed...this was the result:

"Have you ever tried to double click your own mouse?

Well I can !"

Hope you liked my random and twisted humor LOL

Hello from the Community of the Insane Asylum! We are sorry to announce that the occupant of this screen name is not here right now. They are currently rocking to-and-fro in a straight jacket, in a padded room. Please leave a message and they will get back to you as soon as they have regained sanity. Which may take quite a while, but we hope that you care enough about them to wait.

How to make Holy Water:
1) Get a pot.
2) Fill it with water.
3) Put it on the stove.
4) Boil the hell out of it.

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch some Marijuana. Jack got high and dropped his fly and said do you wanna? Jill said yes and dropped her dress and then they had some fun. Silly Jill forgot her pill and then they had a son.

for a nap : "To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep"

when you're out getting food : "Food is an important part of a balanced diet"

class time: "A friend once told me I'd actually learn more if I went to class, so I'm testing that theory..."

shower: "Hey there.. it's getting all *hot* and *steamy* in here... once I get out of the shower I will get back to ya
