back to the Down to Earth

Unless the Admin tells us not to, I will not stop adding a bit of happiness to the world. Kimmie and I like smileys.  Some poeple like UPPERCASING words (you).  Others like using ellipses...  (Some people like parentheses.)  We each have our own style!  Give us a break! :P (GASP! A SMILEY!!!  OH NO!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D)

WHAT? Smileys are fun -:):):):)- and creative - @) - and I like them. Please! I, for instance, can be annoyed by people using all caps, but I don't bother them about it if that's their thing.

Chatterbox would be so sad if there weren't smileys and things!! Plus, it gives everything its own personality!! :):D ;)

Using smileys adds happiness to the world! And on the computer, when you can't actually show facial expression to Chatterbox users, you can use smileys to show whether you're joking, serious, sad, sorry, dissapointed, etc. What's wrong with them? You don't have to use smileys, but I think other people should have a right to. Plus not "EVERYBODY" uses them. Just the people who like them - cough, cough, Paige and Kimberly :).
