I think this blog seems to be written in a bit of a serious fashion, which is exactly what I was NOT going for! I mean I'm all for good grammer but I don't really think it's showing me as I really am. Or should that shit stay on Twitter?? :D See, I use smileys!
The smiley. A treacherous invention designed to portray:
a) A funloving character
b) A childish exaggeration of something meant to be happy/sad/tongue-in-cheek/cheeky that should otherwise be possible to portray in language
c) The need for speedy assessment of one's mood
Now, as a smiley can demonstrate all of these things at one time, who knows when it is appropriate to use them!? Sometimes when writing to university friends, I feel a fool if I use one. It's like they are looked down on by academics. I know you can't write to a future employer with a witty little joke and then stick a :P after it because it insults their intelligence but equally, what if they don't get your joke? Ah crap, did I just insult their intelligence?
