lol. rofl. lmao.

It's really hard to express yourself over the internet.

On one hand, you don't want to come across as bitchy to someone you don't know, but on the other, you don't want to seem like a mouse.

This really bothers me.
I'm the kind of person who needs the inflection of her voice to be heard.
Especially because I'm so sarcastic.

What's even worse is when you're trying to show that you're currently laughing.

First, there's the LOL.
I'll admit, I do "laugh out loud" from time to time, but this one is just so overused that I feel like a total n00b when I type it.

Second, ROFL.
This happens to be my personal favorite, not really sure why. I mean, I don't actually fall out of my chair and "roll on the floor laughing", but I use this one the most.

Third, LMAO (or LMFAO, depending on the degree of laughter, I suppose.)
I don't really use this one at all. I think it's because I just don't like the mental image that goes along with it.

Anyway, I just felt like saying this, even though it was pretty pointless.
