:) :D ;D :))))))

For some reason, Mexicans are obsessed with smiley faces. It doesn't matter what type of message they are sending... it will have a smiley face, guaranteed. I don't think I've recieved a text message from a Mexican friend sans smiley yet. Don't get me wrong, I'm pro smiley when it is deemed appropriate~ super excited about something legitimately exciting, lessening the blow in a rejection text, etc.~ but the smiley face should be reserved for those special occasions. Now it is just as common to me as a period. Beware, American friends, of future Marg messages that may look like this... "Hola! How are you?? :) I'm wearing a pink shirt ;) and flip flops ;D Do you wanna go to the movies later :)))) We could eat popcorn ;D!" ha. pobrecito smiley face...
