a friend recently asked how come he doesnt see me online on YM anymore. well, i just dont...feel like going online anymore. its not the first time this happened. back in college, i was "active" on YM. after i graduated i was still kind of active. it wasnt until the latter half of 2004 that i lost interest in it. i became active again in 2006. maybe after a year or two, i hibernated again. then active again by the end of 2008 or early 2009. by mid-2009, i lost interest again. so its seasonal in a way, with external factors affecting my online behavior. i guess.
