Writing is fun. I like to spread my humor and make people laugh. Until I started writing, I didn't know what LOL meant. I thought it meant Little Old Lady. I said to myself, "That's strange, I don't look like a little old lady." Wait a minute. I'm a 100% middle aged, if not somewhat overweight,distinguished, although somewhat bald, man. I am not an LOL. I got really upset. I was going to write back to the person reading my article that I did not appreciate being called an LOL. At least you could call me an LOM.
Anyway, I eventually understood what LOL meant and now I'm a much happier individual.

I love happy-funny people. It is sad that i am not a funny person. I myself wanted to be one but i guess im not born for it.
To make other people happy, i show some thoughtfulness.
One thing also, that really works is flashing a smile. Surely, even though you don't know that person, he'll surely smile back at you.

yes, it really is a good feeling to know that you have made other people happy by what you wrote, said, or do.
i like talking to people that always makes me laugh too. if there is something i dont understand with what they said, i ask them right away, that way there will be no misunderstanding. and i learn of other things too. just like what you said here. i dont understand some of the internet language before, and i thought it the wrong way too. so i asked them what it meant, and like you im more comfortable now happier when talking online and using the same abbreviated words.
