Over instant messenger with a friend "Alice". She just ended things with a guy who was not treating her very well.
Alice: I'm mostly good, but there's five minutes each day when I wish he would call.
Me: At least it's only five minutes. Take heroin to distract yourself during those five minutes if you have to.
Alice: Ha ha.
[silence, while we each multitask]
Alice: It's happening right now.
Me: DON'T CALL HIM.
Alice: I know.
Me: dontcallhimgirl.com
Alice: It would be funny if there really were a web site like that.
Me: Yeah.
Alice: With distractions and reasons not to call him.
Me: [checking on GoDaddy] The domain isn't taken yet.
...
And thus a web site was born, a collaborative effort. A web site that served its purpose of distracting Alice for five minutes...
http://dontcallhimgirl.com
UPDATE: dontcallhimgirl.com was a smashing success. However, I now realize there was a flaw in the plan.
We also should have registered DontAnswerWhenHeCalls.com.
Hey Niniane, that's *awesome*...can't believe no-one had thought of it yet...I guess it also works for the IM-ing urges?

Heay Niniane,
ReplyDeleteSry to mention here again, but i dunno why is it really difficult to contact (reach) you or even get a reply from you. I mailed u several times, but is that they are been intentionally ignored. This is regarding some interesting work and new ideas which i wanted to convey, not any frills. Can I really reach you out?
Thanx again.
