i wish there was a punctuation mark that fell somewhere in-between the exclamation point and the period. you know, one that conveyed the 'eyebrows up' expression of surprise or amusement. the exclamation point is too "oh my god!" or "yippee!" (and the multiple !!! is unforgiveable, though i too fall victim to the usage)…and the period is too well, unexpressive. hmmm..i have nothing better to think about at the moment.
