Just so you all know, I came up with that smileyface. I also coined the phrase "pardon my french", alright?!

I'm a goddamn genius of originality, a trendsetter of monumental proportions! Especially so when I've had some drinks. Especially. Anyway, since so many people seem confused as to just what the :3 smiley is supposed to mean, I figured I'd blog you through the fog.

[image loading]


Now you know. I'm a spreader of wisdom. Especially in combination with drinking. Goodnight!

Now that I'm sober I can accept the fact that even though I came up with it myself, there's a good chance someone else came up with it before me.

And by someone I mean one of those pricks on 4chan. Brr, I get cold sweat whenever that festering pool of internetrape is mentioned, even though I'm the one mentioning it.
