Complex emotions often require the creative mixing of emoticons, and a loose interpretation of the individual meanings of each emoticon.

For instance, "screaming and shooting" could be " ". One might criticize the screaming emoticon as a bit unclear -- is it a happy "woohoo" or a more of a visceral cry made in the throes of terror? Let us not forget that Edvard Munch's The Scream has the same so-called flaw, but that hasn't stopped it from becoming a classic work of art.

A slightly more valid criticism of " " is that it fails to adequately convey the act of running, since the smiley is just moving back and forth without going anywhere. An obvious solution is to preface " " with " ", but that hardly conveys the urgency of the situation. At times, finding the answers we seek requires consulting a power bigger than ourselves; Google is a valuable tool in finding just the right graphic to represent your emotional state:



It cannot be known exactly how the public will interpret artistic work, but one thing can be certain: I've got too much time on my hands...


Back to work...
