Hi everybody, I was thinking about how hard it is to communicate in the written form only and how much I appreciate the emoticons to lighten a post or to show jesting... And then I wrote "la la la la la" which for me is "I've got a secreat and I'm not gonna tell" or "I did something silly and I'm proud of myself" and holly (of the 30,000 posts) put up an emoticon with "la la la la la" which shows "I'M NOT LISTENING!" Well fiddlefuck! They're like hieroglyphics. How are we gonna ever get clear if even the emoticons don't do it? So what do these emoticons mean to you? I'll start (feel free to quote, erase my words, and then put yours in or whatever) Ohhh that's a happy thought. That may just be a lil bit naughty, but do we really mind? (I don't have a clue what this one means) I'm kidding / I'm flirting. Ohhh dear, perish the thought! / Maybe I'm in trouble. eep! That makes me sooooooo mad! (is this the only self explanatory one?) I'm crying / vewwy sad. (but usually in a playful way) ick (not a clue what this means) Ohhh NO! It can't be true! / I'm really really scared (also playful) (what the heck is this thing? I have no clue what this means) (I don't know about this one eihter, but it looks like Burt from Burt and Ernie to me) I just said something that I think is really really obvious. (often added with *ahem*) (I don't know what this thing is) So what do the hieroglyphics mean to you?
