no smiles?

One of those things that's very important to me is the ability to smile. Not only in real life, mind you, but in my blog! And it doesn't look like Blogger does that.

Now, I'm just geeky enough to know a quick and easy way to force smilies into any post but it's tedious; at least, much more so than pulling down a menu and clicking on a face.

I haven't needed to blog at all for several days... it's weird. Of course, I haven't had time to, either, so I guess it's a good thing. I do know that I'm not where I was on July 19th... not less at peace, I think, but the edges of that pure, senseless joy have hardened and I want to heat it up again.

But when? *pulls out dayplanner and forlornly peruses the pages*
