night of the emoticons from hell

[seriously sick of serious]

So. What's the deal with all the emoticons? What is the appeal? Why would anyone actually use the things, especially over and over and over and over and over again?

Why not just use an appropriate sentence to express your thoughts? I can help:

Am mindlessly happy.

Have something in eye.

Have no teeth.

;D Have ugly teeth, need to see dentist.

Just got cut off by moron, am getting out handgun (no, wait, that's not right, am not in the States).

Same as above, lost eyebrows during fracas.

Am terminally deranged.

Am blind.

Have no brain.

Am dork.

Just threw up.

Am down to seeds and stems.

Rats. Just ran out of seeds and stems.

Am psychotic, need double-dose of Prozac.

Facial tic, can't help self.

Oh boy. They're here, they're here to take me awayyyyyyyy.

Thought this was "really bad hair implants"
And is it just me or doesnt this emotioncon look like the chick from For the Love or Money 2 (I swear thats her crooked smile)

Actually, I think this is: "Like, oh my god, my house, like, TOTALLY burned down, and, like, you know, I have NOTHING to wear, like uhhhh, I am SO unimpressed, you know?"
