>New Year! >New You!! >New Emoticons!!!

My dear friend EVENY YE from Guangzhou, China uses some pretty weird emoticons in her e-mails to me. At first I thought it was just her (she is a creative type, afterall). But when I questioned her on them, she replied:

"u like the funny little faces? really? we love to use them, to share our feeling, our mood!"

She shared some of her favorites, as you'll see below. I've kept her descriptions, unedited!

She also offered up this website, which has many more: http://baike.baidu.com/view/84429.htm
Yes, the site is in Chinese, but if you scroll down, you'll see some pretty crazy ones, including the one that I used as this blog's entry image.
