I'm sorry if that's taken as a provocation but I try to use them to express my actual emotions unless being clearly sarcastic. Obi, nowadays, :) is seen a lot more as a provocation than a genuine feeling on the Internet. Which is kinda sad IMO. :P I agree... Considering some users want me demoted for using them. Even though I use them in completely innocent ways, like you, describing how I am feeling. It's really just the emote that's seen as such, not ":)" itself.
