i hate using brb in away messages. it sounds so cliche to me. i hardly ever put away messages up. i use LOL when i really mean it and lol when the convo is boring or the joke isn't as funny, or just when i have nothing else left to say. i use lmao and LOL interchangeably. that`s about it.

If I want to imply that something isn't really funny, I go "lol".
If something is funny enough to make me smile in my head, I go "haha" or "lmao". If something is funny enough to make me smile, I go "LOL" or "HAHA". But the other person usually knows when I'm really laughing my ass off. I either go "LMFAO!!!!!!" or "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" (x3). |

Thats basically what i do, too. although "lol" is just used randomly when i have nothing else to say. |

"Lol" is what you say when you don't know what else to say.
Person 1: "omg my mom just died and my girlfriend's pregnant" Person 2: "lol" |

Having a bot allows me to step outside for 5 minutes a day and do an entire pushup without taking a break. That being said, I just got back inside after jumping on our trampoline for quite some time.

"lol" is to the internet as "um" is to talking. It has no more substance for me anymore...if someone tells me a joke and I respond with "lol", it's likely that I thought it sucked but don't want to say anything bad. If it's actually funny, I'll say something like LOOOOOOOL or HAHAHAHAHHAHA or ROFLROFL. But that's rare, and annoying.
If I want someone to leave me alone, usually I just ignore them and remove all signs of me being online. Like, turning off the music function on MSN, making sure your status isn't shown on Facebook, etc. Then you can just pretend you went AWOL. |

I've had mine hidden for the past few months because I don't like feeling pressured to return someone's Wall post if they know I'm online. Also, I just like feeling like a shinobi. |

when I use brb, I'm actually away. If I don't want to talk to you, I just won't respond.

I used to hate people who used lol and didn't mean it, but lately I've been lazy and I've started using it as a filler.
