My Musings
Email me if you wish. Monday, December 02, 2002SmileysAndy, I put this blog here for you so that you don’t get jealous of the fact that Mandy and I talk online all the time. This is what we invariably end up talking about: Chessmen15: mind if I tell Steven? :-D Buffy4386: WHY are you using that face? Chessmen15: because I'm kidding Chessmen15: though! Chessmen15: it does leave you with the opportunity to say yes Buffy4386: You do no it shows up as :-D, right? Chessmen15: yes... Chessmen15: what did you think I meant? Buffy4386: And not an actualy face.... Chessmen15: oh no Chessmen15: ohhh no Chessmen15: you don't see the faces anymore! Buffy4386: Do a smiley Chessmen15: :-) Chessmen15: :-P Chessmen15: :-D Buffy4386: You're doing the command wrong!! Buffy4386: : - P Chessmen15: Mandy...they are on my screen... Buffy4386: Not : - d Chessmen15: as smileys... Chessmen15: wait Chessmen15: so when I type :-D do you see a smiley or just a compressed version of : - d Buffy4386: Does that show up? B/c that's : - P Chessmen15: yes, it shows up Buffy4386: A compressed version. Chessmen15: oh dear Chessmen15: Mandy! Chessmen15: now look what you've done! Buffy4386: Type in :- P Chessmen15: :-P Chessmen15: it's a smiley over here Buffy4386: There! Chessmen15: what?! Buffy4386: I'm SO rigjt Buffy4386: right Chessmen15: whoa, whoa, whoa Chessmen15: I've been typing them in the same way all along Chessmen15: :-P :-P :-P :-P Buffy4386: There, those are ALL correct. Chessmen15: wha...? Chessmen15: okay, how about: Chessmen15: :-D Buffy4386: No Chessmen15: well then! Okay, I realize that this is longer than a page already, but just barely, and it’s pretty fast reading anyway. And the conversation kept going. For another three pages. I thought about posting it all here, but it’s hard to follow and, frankly, not very funny. At all. Or even remotely interesting. So I just cut it there to give you all a sense of the sort of deep and meaningful exchanges Mandy and I share online. Because online smileys are extremely important things, and if we don’t argue and whine about them to no effect, nobody will. And Mandy, for the love of god, those blue fish are awful. Could you just delete AOL and start using AIM and the regular yellow smiley faces like normal people? Please? I’d like to argue more about various smiley issues, but I have a nagging feeling that I will get to talk about them again with Mandy soon and I don’t want to use up all my fuel here. Coming up next: Mandy and I Make Fun Of Each Other’s Typos. Actually while I was typing this, it happened again: Buffy4386: And Kenny had a microphone in his thing, so he was talking to me. Buffy4386: It was SOOO cool. Chessmen15: cool! Chessmen15: neeeeat Buffy4386: I was jumping around with enjoymen. Chessmen15: hehe Buffy4386: t Chessmen15: yeah Buffy4386: [psycho grinning blue fish] Chessmen15: enjoymen is just a...funny word Buffy4386: [the psycho blue fish has now stopped grinning and is instead sticking out his/her/its tongue in an attempt to appear kidding and playful, but that only makes it look as though a large quantity of crack was recently forced up its nasal tract] Chessmen15: if you delete the intervening words, you get... Chessmen15: I...enjoymen Buffy4386: That's funn.y Now you're being like Steven thiough. I..kill... Chessmen15: what?! Chessmen15: ohhh Buffy4386: Remeber.... Buffy4386: ? Buffy4386: +m Chessmen15: gotcha gotcha Chessmen15: kkkikill Buffy4386: Yeah! Buffy4386: That! Chessmen15: yep Buffy4386: Yes indeedy. Whoo, here I am at three pages. But just for the record, this entry so far only has…599 words. The previous one, however, which was only a page long, had…680. I figure I’m in the clear. And with these parting words, I part you. .: posted by Boris 10:07 PM
