Social Chatting - January 2015!

Ah, okay. So there have to be spaces on each side… Weird… So that probably means I can do > _ > and > _ < as well, then…

Edit: Nope, I guess not… Weird.

I should go to bed now...

What you should do does not have to determine what you will do. *nods*

True, and I could tell you that I just signed away the next 2-3 years of my life, starting in February, to delay you.

LIH!

EDIT: ^^That was lame. Sorry. :P Just had to fix it before Bethany said anything.

Okay, sorry. It's just that I recently went over it in my grammar book, and realized that there was more to it than I realized.

Dude! You're apologizing! Hmm...like...?

Oh… sorry.

Um, much of it I actually forget. hangs head I really need to study it more…

I don't use x) much because I don't know what it is to piture. And that is definitelyyyyy my favorite as well. I try not to use it too much so that it doesn't lose its….somethingness…whatever you wish to call it. :)

NICOLAS!!!

It's fine! I shall just look it up sometime and study it!

Yeah, those never work.

Forgive me; I despise it when this happens. I feel as though what you are saying is a reference to a conversation we have had before; but I cannot determine your meaning. Would you please pardon my forgetfulness, and explain to my poor brain precisely what you meant by that?

when is your scriptorium?

What? :P

And then you can explain it to me. :P

Lol. x) is actually a bit of a "flirty" emoticon, if you want to put it that way. I like to liken it to the phrase "tickled pink," if you know what that means. I would typically use it if someone said something that was sweet or kind or something and I was trying to respond to it without it being too awkward… and yet by the use of the emoticon acknowledging that it was at least somewhat awkward. Does that make sense?

Yes, I totally agree with you there!

when is your scriptorium?

June 26-27, if I remember correctly.

What? :P

I didn't laugh out loud…I laughed in my head. I had to change it from LOL cause Bethany would say "Carissa didn't lol" and "She didn't know what to say."

My next fav. is definitely =] for some reason. In my mind it is a really happy smilie. ;)

I thought that it might keep her from going to bed to know that I will be not frequenting the forums often, starting in February.

Nope. You're going to go back over it and learn it again! :P

Understood. I am sorry for not understanding.

okay! marking it down! we might be able! hopefuls!

Not when I'm the one who introduced them. You have to admit that I was the first one to use that one here, and I used it according to the universal way I had seen it used elsewhere. So my interpretation is naturally authoritative. Any other usage is a perversion of its original use and intent.

June 26-27, if I remember correctly.

And 25 I thought…

Do y'all know when you'll be in KC in July yet?

And then you can explain it to me. :P

Nope. You're going to go back over it and learn it again! :P

Oh, very well. :P

Yup, that makes sense.

Yes, which is why I only use it certain times!

Yes. I actually only use =] in conversations with certain people. People I'm close friends with. Others only get =) or even :) sometimes, if it's someone I'm either not close with at all or someone that annoys me at times.

So beware if I give you a :)! XD

(I know I'm going to regret admitting this, because someone's going to come along and say, "Hey! You used :) with me one time! Does that mean I annoy you???")

Oh yes, that's correct.

Well, I don't know myself. That doesn't mean that everybody else in my family probably knows by now, though… xP (I'm often the last one to find out about things. :P)

Has to admit the same thing

But, because in his mind, it appears to have a strong picture of something/certain emotion or whatever not often used, it could be hard to see everyone using it for lots of random stuff.

You're not making any sense…. I didn't say they're hard-and-fast. But I did introduce it, and, as I stated, I had observed universal uniformity in usage. Therefore, I used the emoticon accordingly. Then I left the forums for a time, and when I came back, I saw that the emoticon had largely departed from its original "correct" usage – meaning the usage that was basically universal outside the MV forums.

I would like to call to your recollection that the original use of the "x", and the ")", was not, in fact, to be a bit of a "flirty" emoticon.

Those who originally created those symbols did not live in an age of computers, where emotions needed to be quickly transmitted in a succinct form. A wide range of emotions can be conveyed through words, but it often takes too much time to do this properly and without confusion.

Can you point me to some evidence to back up that statement, please? Because I am fairly certain that I am the one who introduced the emoticon, and while I may not have used it in a "flirty" way (perhaps that was a bad description), I am nearly 100% certain I would have used it according to the standards that I detailed later on in the paragraph.

Haha…makes sense. I really should cut back on it because I can use it way too often.

Lol!

You obviously are not understanding her. She is referring to the original original intent of those symbols.
