Emoticons! :D

Have you ever noticed how emoticons can change the meaning of a sentence. For example:

Saying: You're a jerk. This makes it sound like that person is a jerk.

Saying: You're a jerk :D. This make it sound your just joking, or it's some super secret code name. Here's another, possibly greater example.

Saying: Shut up! This makes it sound like you want the person to shut up now or else.

Saying: Shut up :). This makes it sound like the person said something mean to you (jokingly) and you were both laughing.

Do you see what I'm saying?

Life is So Repetitive (At least for me)

Have you ever noticed how repetitive life is? You wake up and go to work or school (or wherever you go every day) you go home, then watch some TV, and finally fall asleep. And then you repeat the cycle .  Does that sound repetitive? I think so.
