The smiley. Ok, so apparently I do the smiley more than any one person should. The question was recently posed to me...why. Well here is why just in case my smileys have been getting on your nerves.
In any form of communication where the "listening" party can't actually hear you or see your face i.e. texting, emailing, facebooking, blogging, or any other communication technology affords us today you don't necessarily know the emotion behind what people are expressing. I use the smiley to communicate emotion. You may notice that occasionally my comments will have a face that looks like this 8-/. I use this to communicate confusion, frazzledness(not a word I am aware), or frustration. 8-( That would be my sad face, obviously. 8-0 This is my shocked face. 8-) 8-P This is me sticking my tongue out at you. If I am sticking my tongue out at you in silliness then that face would usually be followed by a regular smiley. 8-) Just so you know I am kidding.
So there, the many typed faces of Whitney. Just in case you wanted to know. 8-)
In other news, I don't blog enough and neither do you. I have checked all the blogs and it seems as though we are all to busy to update. Which is fine for me, but you people are my entertainment so you are going to have to pick it up. Stop taking care of your children and doing your jobs. Get on the computer and tell me all about the fascinating things going on in your brains, K. I love you all! 8-)
