I realized you'd hate that as soon as I hit the blame button. My Southern etiquette brainwashing is my only excuse. Not that there's anything wrong with cupcakes. Heh.

Not that there’s anything wrong with cupcakes.

It's hard to gauge the rapport of a site like this right away, and there's a learning curve with any new community you join. So to have someone shoot you down and ridicule you, when you're just trying to discuss an issue and not offend people, is not a nice experience. And for you to do so is vindictive and unecessary.

Why would you judge someone like that, especially if the only evidence you have of them are comments on a website? As for being "an advanced blamer" I don't know about that. I do tend to blame far too much on the fact that we live in a patriarchal society. And I have as much right as anyone to come on this site and learn how to blame, even if I don't know how right away. I refuse to be intimidated by some xenophobic girl I don't even know, so I'm staying whether you like it or not. And stop hating British people! At least half of your country's population comes from Britain or Europe originally. And I reserve the right to be able to use emoticons with my friends, though I'll try not to use them here. So all I ask is that you reserve your rampant judgement of me until you've seen more of me on here. Otherwise it's extrememely unfair, and kind of makes you look really bad, not me.

I'm young and it's extremely hard to aviod emoticons when communicating on t'internet at my age. Also, if I don't use them with my peers I come across as superior. I'm trying to curtail my use of them here though! Jill – sorry! I’m young and it’s extremely hard to aviod emoticons when communicating on t’internet at my age.

When taken at face value, oh, a little smile. When analyzed — hints of passive aggression? Irony? Gah! Meta!" Hehe the ambiguity and nuances of emoticons amuse me as well. It's why I like using them - they aid meaning and also can be used ironically without anyone knowing! Just my bit of fun. Hedgepig - so glad you got the reference! That bit made me so happy, because for those that understand irony the layers of meaning in that senario were great. I love Victor! Kristyn - why would I frighten people? *insert unhappy, confused but jovial emoticon here* ^see how helpful?!^ “It is — it’s even a little threatening. When taken at face value, oh, a little smile.
