If I knew how to use the smilies on this website more easily, I wouldn't seem so contrary. On another forum I play around on, if you want to show someone hysterically laughing, you just type ":hyst:". If you want to show someone embarrassed you type ":o" , etc. Here, I have to go to the smiley list and hunt. Not sure why they have such a complicated coding system.
So I'm limited to
,
, and my own hugging system. I was trying to be cute but my wry sense of humor mixed with my underlying jaded nature sometimes comes off a bit rough. (Had one more smilie but we're limited to 5 per post! Didn't know that.)
The right smilie makes everything hunky dory.
