Smiley Faces and the LOL .........
After reading pangs blog regarding critiques of his work..AND how he was given negative feedback followed by the courteous smiley face - it got me thinking about all the little things we do in here. For example - I seem to have created a trademark typing character with my dots........ Its simply my way of pausing as I speak. I realise though it annoys the absolute fuck out of some people. I used to have a question mark fetish ..????? It seems I have replaced it with the dots.
Someone recently said to me, you just send me a smiley face when ur busy and u dont have time to talk. THIS IS NOT TRUE ! However I am sure some people do practice this 'fake smile' - I most certainly do not. I need it to be known, that when I offer you a :) it is because I am genuinly smiling. I agree with Pang when he gets pissed off at someone who is actually putting shit on you ....ending the smart arse remark with a smile. Its condascending. Almost like ending an abusive remark with the word sweetie ? ( eg. Those boots look absolutely dreadful with that outfit sweetie:) Well maybe not quite like that - but u know what I mean.
As for the LOL.....dot dot dot.....I LOVE laughing. I usually use the abbreviation HAHAHA when Im really laughing a lot...and of course the length varies depending on how funny it is ! I do agree with pang that we use LOL way too much. I would like to see us being somewhat more inventive with our laughter. Perhaps we could vary the types of laughter. I often snort when I laugh ..so sometimes I actually type the word SNORTING. I would like to encourage others to do the same. Quilla laughs like Mutley ! You know off Wacky Races the cartoon...when she really gets going - she does what I call a 'Mutley'. This means shes really having a hard time catching her breath. Then there is the 'rofl'. I tend to roll on the floor so I do use that one a lot. Another one I like to use....is 'clapping hands' for when Im extremely impressed with something funny - it indeed makes me want to clap my hands.
I also have a "Mt. Vesuvius " which is clearly when u hold your breath trying NOT to laugh , because your on voice late at night or whatever...and holding the laugh in only makes you laugh more....so eventually it explodes out your mouth ..like...Mt. Vesuvius.
Really - we could go on and on. I look forward to a whole new set of LAUGHING abbreviations that you should leave on here in our comments section and of course we shall archive them in the DICKtionary!!
