I know! I know!! I used it in my drama monologue about neat words!! :)I don't know if the smileys are appropriate but can you think of a better way of representing it?
It's a complex state, one that is not easily shown with a simple smiley. Perhaps a look of a stiff upper lip or something along those lines. Fighting the windmills...
Maybe you should design your own set of smileys and submit them to Live Journal. :)
