isn't an elipses really just three periods that got together and tried to form a club? well it isn't fooling me. they can call themselves whatever they want, but they're just a few dots hanging out... evenly spaced. (<- that period is so jealous)

Shouldn't it be "If you were a punctuation mark..."

I put a question mark... cause i dunno.

#4.1 perrinOG 2004

Yeah I picked the question mark but I know why I did, because of my indecisive nature.

really? i picked exclamation because i say what i mean! heehee

#4.1.1.1 perrinOG 2004

Yeah I have a very hard time making decisions, I think it's because I tend to overanalyze and over think things.
Yes I think an exclamation point suits you very well.

lets see. of those choices, i pick the apostrophe when in use to create a contraction.

however, on my own, i would select the ampersand bc i like to be united even though it is not really a puntuation mark, but rather a typographical symbol. or perhaps i would select the interrobang bc it combines my trademark qualities of curiosity and enthusiasm.

here are a couple of cute pages to ponder:
