Punctuated

I haven't used a smiley/emoticon since July or August of last year. To me, it seemed a farcical thing, suggesting a (usually happy) facial expression to someone else over a largely-text based medium. Even more so when a genuine smile was so hard to come by.

Yeah, people who have paid attention might have picked up on the vibe that this writer was less than satisfied with his lot, during the latter part of 2010, but you know what?
