PSA

This emoticon right over here ... :-*
Which sometimes appears as ... :*

That is a kiss. Apparently there are people who hadn't realized, lo these many months, that they were being kissed.

Don't let this happen to you! Know your emoticons!

Text-only autism!

I hold that it's a rather sorry kiss if the recipient doesn't even notice!

Not as bad as falling asleep during chat-sex. (Which I haven't done.) Or RL-sex. (Which, um, I have. Extenuating circumstances!)

I really must know.

Great, now I can be clueless in several media.

3am. The sixth fuck of the day. (Easy when you're 17.) We were fairly lackadaisical. Lots of pauses, lots of talking.

One pause didn't involve much talking. Next I knew, they're shaking me. "Did you just fall asleep?!?!?!?!" "Um, no? Maybe? I was just resting for a moment!"

What? That's not a sock to the mouth and a fat lip?

Goes off to rethink lots of posts from you.

:D

Baah at silly people who don't IM enough to know their emoticons.
Not that I've seen YOU on IM in a long while, or something. :-P
andreas_schaefer: (Muhaha)

even I knew that

though I do have my problems with emoticons- in my IM client they are automatically transformed into small icons - or in the case of LOL ( all caps!) into a short laughter so sometimes I don't know what the all chars incarnation of an emoticon looks like.

"You must remember this, a ;-* is just a ;-* "

Come to think of it, the shorthand for kiss being an asterisk is possibly older than IM and tha intarweb and all that I was signing notes to my girlfriend 30 years ago with stars.

Okay wait, "they" as gender-neutral singular, or "they" as plural?

[identity profile] australian-joe.livejournal.com 2006-05-13 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Gender-neutral.

I don't think I could fall asleep with more than one person there. 8-)

I thought that face was for when you eat something really sour and your mouth puckers.

:V:-( <--- Now I am sad because I have an alligator on top of my head.
