People we see online on gtalk at 5 am..

I must confess here that my night life is pretty much non-existent. I shall give no reasons to "Defend" myself for I prefer it the way it is.. I am not a night-owl, I am a dawn-hawk :)

Anyway I see various categories of people who are seen online on gtalk at 5 am. This is a brief mention of those rare (Thankfully!) categories:-

The " I am asleep, I just like to keep my pc on" type
This is the single most populous category in this post. Right now, its 6 30 am on a lovely saturday morning (Lovely 'cause its a holiday for NITKians) and with late friday night crrescendo activities one doesnt expect anyone to be online except for category 3 which we shall see soon. But I have no less than 8 members of this category online right now in my friends list, which is not a long one to begin with.

These people dont care less what the cost of being online is as long as they dont miss a chat message from the e-tooth fairy! Utterly jobless that they are, google deserves a praise for the "idle" status..

The "I am all night-er " type
The category with the least number of people and there is a reason for that.. Check out the past few members of this category : The Joker, Osama bin Laden, George W Bush, Suhas R Rao (Brrrr).. I can go on and on- Members have their life span counted in weeks rather than years. Yet they never learn! Maybe its all the "ecstacy" in their life which keeps them awake AND active.. God help their souls.. 2 of them online presently in my friend's list!

The "I just woke up" type
Now then I myself am a member of this category but doesnt mean I am averse to spamming myself: What's wrong with you???? Amnesia? Love? Hatred? Sorrow? Or free net till 8 am?

I excuse those who fall into the last reason for waking up at 5 am and coming online (Of course I do, I am one of them!) but whichever way you look at it, this is the sanest group of the lot.. As a great poet once said " The early bird may or may not get the fattest worm but the man who wakes up earliest gets the shit throne to himself!"

Period.
