No emoticons, failing fast

[afuna]

It looks like the best I can do is to avoid emoticons in public channels. In PM conversations with friends, where I'm too relaxed to stop and analyze what I'm saying, emoticons just come too naturally.

I suppose this means the experiment is a failure.

(Also, my exclamation points have been breeding like bunnies throughout all this. Hah)

They were trying to make chocolate cookies but had run out of chocolate powder. The maker decided that they would just use chunks of chocolate, making them quite small, assuming that it would melt into the batter to become chocolate cookies! Yeah assumptions!!

(I'd probably have to experiment with actually using emoticons to see what it would do to my communications.)

Man, I wish I could make more failures like those. I would be happy to fail if it meant I got to have/invent chocolate chip cookies!

(It was interesting, actually! But so much more freeing to be able to use emoticotns)
