Seems to ME, no matter how much I love ya, that you can NOT post without the big-giant smiley. Am I wrong? Have I seen to many MPSIMS posts? Does anybody in the whole freaking world care?
NO!
For my sake, PLEASE utilize another smiley!!!
I’m gonna go … well … I was gonna say nutso, but that’s been proved to already have happened.
I’m gonna go … worse!
And we all know that we don’t want that to happen.
I’ll tell y’all what…is this better?
Why the fuck do you have to use that big ass smiley all the damn time? Can you not fathom how to construct a different one? For ghod sake woman! You don’t smile that damn big in person! Not even when you’re drunk to the point of not being capable of talking coherentl or even walking from point A to point B! What the Fuck!!!
Better?
I would have said that in the first place, BUT the fact is, Persephone IS one of my best friends.
I hate everything about that smilie. It embodies, in one fell stroke, a poster who thinks he’s (I’m using “he” because there’s one poster I have in mind) just said something funny that isn’t funny at all.
I can’t vouch for Persephone’s use of it, I can’t say I’ve ever noticed it from her. God knows I love her. But then, unjustified smilie-hating is simply an opinion.
Goodness gracious! My very own Pit thread, and I’m four days late! Sorry about that, Xploder.ultress did tell me about it, but I got busy doing something else and forgot all about it.
You forgot to mention the time I was puking out the back seat of your car. Not a cause for smiling, I know, but you guys were laughing at me. I know it.
True. IRL, Xploder is one of the all-time best friends I’ve ever had. He’s a prince. Really!
So I feel perfectly comfortable in saying bite me, wanker! And then tell Mrs. X I said hi, and we’ll have to get together and do ome Christmas shopping. Without you. Loser.
