We've all been there. You want to convey a feeling but you don't know exactly how and typing it all out will take 2-3 hours, or reply to someone in a simple yet amusing style.

So how do you do it in one simple .gif? Well the truth is you need a resource of varied gifs on tap. I have 200+ stored in an Imgur account for easy access and then I can use reddit for topping up when the moment is right. Sometimes one gif isn't enough. 3-4 gifs can convey a story very quickly and enhance an emotion without 100 additional unnecessary words potentially detracting from the emotion and adding vagueness into the mix. However, it is best to stick with one that you feel gets your message across best.

So lets use an example. Say for example a girl you liked posted on facebook about how she met with another guy or 2 over the weekend. You're upset. Heartbroken. Angry. That's a lot of emotion to convey. How do we do this?

Well first, let's list the emotions we'd like to convey:

• Sadness
• Heartbroken
• Anger

Now let's order them in importance:

1. Heartbroken
2. Anger
3. Sadness

So what gifs do we use?

Well we can go with the popular and well known options:

Lisa breaking Ralphs heart:


Nick Offerman throwing out his computer:


David Tennant in the rain:


And famous as of late, the frowning baby:


Now all these are perfectly acceptable for the job, heartbroken, anger, and sadness. However, the last two convey the same message, so we can leave out one of these. I would keep the David Tennant option as it conveys being alone, outside of her love triangle, and not at the heart of the action, whereas the frowning baby would be more suitable if the girl directly rejected you.

There are more obsure gifs out there that can also do the job aswell. Sometimes better, sometimes the same or worse but it is a welcome change compared to constantly seeing the 4 above used all the time.

Here are some examples:










Which one would I pick? This one:



Why?

It shows the sadness extremely well. The man is curled up in the foetal position crying out. The fact he's in a corner portrays the loneliness he feels right now. Yes anger is left out, but it conveys the overall situation and emotions that were necessary for a reader to comprehend the situation.

So there is a little tutorial on how to best use gifs when the situation arises.

And this totally isn't in reply to a certain post in yaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh:mad:

My iTunes works fine. Then I plug my iPod in and it freezes up. My iPod memory is full so I was trying to take off some bands and put on other ones and it just gets insanely slow and makes it impossible. It's also saying that it's 20 gigs over capacity which just makes no sense.

Anyone experience this before? I wonder would formatting my iPod make a difference? Although I really don't want to have to do that.

Use something like PodTrans to take music off it.

Delete the facebook app and reinstall it. Mine was using something like 4gb of cache.

How do you guys get over something really stupid and embarrassing you did drunk 4 months ago, said incident has had no real negative effect on anyone but possibly made things awkward. Also, who the fuck waits 4 months to tell you this, why bring it up at all? :mad:

Don't worry about it, my friend found out after 6 months that we were at a work party, she broke the toilet seat off with her big fat arse and walked around with it over her head.

How were there no pictures to document this? There's something about work parties that bring out the drunkenness in people, our Christmas party last year stems to mind, me being the winner...

This happened the end of September.We then went to an Irish pub belong to the girl who's house it was and her Auntie was like 'So which one of you Irish girls was the one that broke the toilet??' and was laughing and my friend had NO IDEA it was her!

HILARIOUS

Physiology repeat exam tomorrow at 9.30am. As if that wasn't bad enough, there's heavy rain forecast for tomorrow coinciding with the Irish Rail strike, so the traffic will be chaotic and buses jam-packed, so I have to get up ridiculously early. GAAAHHH

Do you have to repeat the full semester or can you just repeat those modules you failed?

I disagree with that statement. The consquences of them turning from straight to gay is more pressure than you think!

It's because girls expect guys to pick up on subtle little signals all the time, and then get mad when they don't.

"Ugh, he's so stupid, I mean, I blinked at him four times in a row, how wasn't it clear that I desperately love him and want to spend the rest of my life with him? I mean, I don't know what else I can do!"
"Have you tried... talking to him?"
"What are you f*cking insane?"

My body,personality is available Monday to Saturday.seriously what are you looking for that your not spelling in black and white. Some guys aren't stupid just picky. But when your playing those cards I'm not understanding why lads won't jump at the idea of getting into bed

alaskayoung

I have such an intense fear of rejection. Just moved to a new school to repeat my leaving cert, don't know anyone, really desperate to make friends but whenever an opportunity rises I just literally run away. I'm so terrified that they will wonder why I'm trying to hang out with them or not want to talk to me. So frustrated with myself. I'm even scared of posting here in case you guys don't want me :P Ugh.

So my Desktop has got a virus that tries to install but cant and avast keeps informing to boot time scan thing six times is enough. and my phone is telling me theres no space left yet theres 27.29gb available. wtf is going on

Go to Avast! and do a full scan, not just the quick scan. Do the boot time scan again. Install MalwareBytes and scan using that.

With the phone, is it your SD card or the internal phone memory that's the problem? If it's the SD card, it could be corrupted and might need to be formatted. Wouldn't really be 100% on this though.

Jhcx

done both with avast. but still comes up c/user/tempapp/installxxxxx file line corrupt and so on. i'll solve it. i'll probably just rewind the clocks back to a previous install and the problem will be solved. So guys with that i will warn you all to stay away from WPS Office 2014 Beta 3. thats where my viruses came in. from the trusted site and all.

as for the phone. i cant make head nor tale the sd is empty the phone memory is supposed to be empty yet tells me there is no room. strange.

People are too judgemental and will never understand who i am for what i am.
