Mine is this --->

It fits most occasions, is understated and unobtrusive.
It's almost perfect as far as emoticons go. Its symmetry is charming. If it had a nationality it would be Swedish.

Whats yours? and why?

it's funny

Is that your favourite X?

Why is it my favorite... I don't know, but considering I overuse it so much, it makes sense.

And a close second is for the same reason.

Yes, but I find that one unrealistic.

<---this one is slightly demonic if you look at it with your eyes shut.

i also like this one

LleeLlee said:

Yeah my favorite habit is highlighting emoticons and seeing how their features change. becomes slightly euphoric looking...and becomes even more mad looking if you highlight it.

<---fake hair

Protege said:

egad you're right

Protege said:

When you highlight this one it looks like its got teeth.

LleeLlee said:

Yeah it does << when u highlight that one it looks like it's opening and closing its mouth << and that one's pupils disappear.

Protege said:

So do you highlight them often then?

i wonder if the shadow emoticons have a subliminal influence on us

LleeLlee said:

Nope I just did those ones now I had only highlighted:
and prior to about five minutes ago. But I did it by accident the first time when copying a funny thread to a document so I could never lose it.

LleeLlee said:

[Edited 11/10/06 17:26pm]

I like this one and this one. Best.

wendyrachel said:

sloppy as in you know, lazy etc. e.g, the work was done very sloppily, i.e rough shod, no attention to detail etc?

I agree about the emoticon. It can be a genuine smile or slightly facetious. Same with

I probably use most though, in both ways.

For example, "so glad to hear you're well"

and "I'm not sure I could possibly conceive of a worse thread than this, but at least unlike an orgnote I don't feel so obligated to reply. I only do so because you're nice to me"

no - as in how i have dealt with the unfortunate week i have had - its been awful - sloppy is the only way to deal with it - or go completely insane!!!
