I just thought about it cuz my friend who's non-asian just asked me "what does ^^; mean?" it was kinda hard for me to explain cuz he didn't watch anime and i didn't just wanna say it's a set of eyes with sweatdrops on the side.. he wouldn't really grasp the idea there.. most of my asian friends understand those smileys, i.e. >.< , ^_^ , ^_- , ^^; , -_- , etc... , and the emotion accompanied with each of those.
Do any of you guys use it? Or is it just something that anime fanatics use? |

white, watch a little anime, and use em all the time.
i just prefer ^_^ over tilting my head for a :) the ^_^ seems to express more happiness too though. i use =/, =D, =P, :/, :D, :P, XD, >:O too. 2 or 3 years ago i watched dbz and dragonball, those kind of animes (i was in 4th/5th grade) now i watch inu-yasha and some others on toonami, i read ranma and bone |
