Behind the Shadow of a Smiley

"Aftermath and Reconciliation"
Yahoo Messenger. Who doesn't know or hasn't used it before? It has become so commonplace, the primary mode of communication for people who are not sitting and talking in front of each other.

It's easy to hide behind a smiley. No one can see you anyway. Whatever you type will embody your emotion, or your intentions. Just a simple ":))" and whoever you're talking to will think that you are happy. A simple ":(", and you're sad. This mask is inherent for any mode of communication that does not involve the parties seeing each other, face to face. Most have abused this feature of IM clients, me included.

It's not my nature to be emo. In fact, I despise the idea. What good would sulking around, NOT talking to anyone, and self-injury do? Besides the fact that it hurts physically and emotionally, you become an object of attention, and not in a good way.

However, it's part of me to be mischievous. That, and my curiosity kills me. Now it so happens that I did something bad to someone. After confessing to the crime, something in me just told me to fake it. It was fairly easy. I knew how to fake my identity, and I almost always never fail in that matter. Succeeding in doing so, however, was not what I wanted. Maybe it was. I'm not sure. However, I can't just leave the matter unattended, because that person is my friend. I was able to "atone" for my wrongdoings (person, if you're reading, you know what happened). Everything went fine after that.

Oh well~
