it was commented in an earlier entry that my smiley was backwards. i would wish to explain this. if anyone has AIM, they are well aquanted with the imodicon smilies. they are, in some cases.. like the plain smiley, very annoying. so, when sending plain smiley or frown faces (which are also obnoxious) on any server, i used the nonconformist me smiley that is backwards. everything else i make normal ^.^
