Semicolon

I was thinking about the semicolon the other day.

Yeah, I know. You wish you could lead as exciting of a life like mine.

But seriously, I don't believe I have used the semicolon in writing since my High School days.  It's just something that I never use.  I know HOW to use the semicolon.  But it just doesn't come up all that often, if ever.

In fact, the only time I ever use it now is when I make a winky emoticon to highlight the sarcasm of a given comment.

; )

Thank God(dess) for the winky emoticon.  Without it, the semicolon would be dead to me.

Now I just have to figure out what I am supposed to use ~ for.
