Changing buddy icons

not avatars, icons

Published on June 9, 2005 By Danny Bassette In Personal Relationships

I use instant messaging software, which some of you already know. I use trillian, because it lets me be on aim, yahoo, msn, and irc with just one client (not icq because I got way too much spam there). And I have a list of people on my messenger, imagine that. Now most of these people I talk to, a few of them I don't. Many of these people have icons attached to their names, and from time to time I'll go through the list and look at all the pictures. I guess I'm just odd that way

Which brings us to SWIWNN. Yes, she's on the list, and I don't talk to her. It's often comforting to see her online, which implies that wherever she is, whatever she's doing, she's alive and relativly well. I like to know that, it makes me feel good.
How's this relate to icons? Well for the past while (3 years or so) she's used a picture of herself (her face technically) for her icon. Was a nice picture, I liked it (but I'm biased that way). Well last time I went through and looked at everyones icons I noticed hers had changed. It's now another picture of her face, and she looks even more beautiful then I remember. I'm glad she's still alive and well.

Danny, I say this with much care and concern...

So long as you have her on there, you're not going to be able to heal and let go. As much as it may hurt you to do it, you should take her off your list.

Awww Danny...

You know in your heart that Brandie's right on this one... Unless you dont want to let go just yet? 3 years is way too long, regret is a waste of some precious time. C'mon Danny, get out there and look around. Eye candy is sweet, and you'll probably find someone new!

I have taken her off, and then a while later I put her back on. And then I stopped carrying that I should take her off if I wanted to move on with my life, so she's still there. 3 years might be too long, but it will be 5 in about a month (assuming I can count of course).
