IM brilliance

during a random IM conversation this morning, derek and i determined that the world needed a few more key symbols to convey those expressions/subtleties that seem to fail us when communicating through IM. i mean, who hasn't rolled their eyes staring at some stupid statement made during a gchat or meebo conversation? i mean, SERIOUSLY.

so here's what we've come up with for now:

IIPE = irony

(for the straight lines, hold down SHIFT and \ simultaneously)

=S = sarcasm

(simple, but effective)

(QQ) = whatever

(see the eyes?!)

I like the sarcasm one. Not sure what the first one means.
