Again, on IM, when people are always always online, but marked as away, and actually not close to their computer at all, and will not be anytime in the near future,
People say cool and lol when they don't know what to say to a comment, instead of always saying OK or k, it's like... (I don't care) which = cool or lol
and
as for the away thing, it's a lot better having them on away and not being there for a long time, so you can leave them messages, instead of offline. it bugs me when people don't put an AWAY on, and it says they're on ONLINE status for hours or days.

I agree with people who don't put the away on, but if you want to leave someone a message, that's what e-mail is for. On MSN it tells you how many e-mails you have when you sign in. So there's really no point in just being "away" all day.
And in a lot of cases that is true for cool and lol, but I still find it really annoying, when a conversation goes something like this ""sup?" "nothing at all, in fact I'm really bored." "Cool!"

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever
