My Digital Resolutions For 2013 (Not Numbered)
Filed under our day and age, short

are kirby emoticons acceptable? i don’t know how else to display my constant emotional state (>’o')>. also, i’m guilty of 1 2 4 5 8 10 and 12. someone should make online etiquette bingo so we can officially compete to see who’s the worst citizen of the internet
I respect a Kirby emoticon but won’t employ it. I’m also guilty of many of these, thus their status as resolutions. But a “worst citizen of the Internet bingo” game sounds like a lot of fun.
