Monday Morning
November 26th, 2007I love the times of day when you just need to talk to someone, but no one’s around. Your Gmail chat box is a solid mass of grayed-out names, chronicling all the people who aren’t around to comfort you. The one person online is sleeping - as they groggily inform you after your first message. They sign off before you get a chance to respond.
You switch to AIM - a few people still dwindle in your buddy list. You message one friend. No response. You message a second. Same. After a few minutes of waiting, the first signs off. So does the second. And you’re left with an empty list of names - all ready to talk; none ready to listen.
Monday morning. 1:06 AM. No one around; no one awake… Left all alone in a dark room, staring at an LCD screen that brings only false promises and delayed rejections - waiting for the week to begin.
