During the first 2 months of 2008 I was smoking a lot of meth; and despite frequently staying awake for 5 consecutive days, I was always amazed at how little I usually accomplished.
This night was different. I can't remember which emoticon was the first to occur to me (library scanner trouble prevented me from uploading some others), but I was actively trying to think of some others. Since I didn't have a computer or a cell phone, I rummaged around a pile of old newspapers (it's a good thing I just left them laying around) and found a Best Buy ad with a photo of a Blackberry.
And that's how I came up with the vast majority of the emoticons-laying in bed, tweaking, turning the Best Buy ad this way and that. I probably spent 3 hours doing it-time well spent, wouldn't you agree?
