Okay, so, many years ago I was using MSN Messenger and Yahoo! IM and I didn't like the stupid emoticon graphics that replaced the ASCII emoticons (though now that I think about it, I think DC uses the Y!IM graphics) so I changed my default smiley emoticon around:
(c:Someone noticed that it looks kind of like
Ziggyw, though not so much when I've made it bold and increased the font size.
For a while I stopped using IM and now I only use Google Talk so I've grown out of the habit of using the Ziggymoticon.
