I used to use 'lol', now if I ever use it, I just sound stupid and noobish. :< If something is silly, I use 'XD'. If something is actually funny, I use "XDD". And if I'm laughing really hard about something, I don't use either, I just tell the person in the conversation that it was really funny. XD I occasionally may slip out a 'lawlipop'. But that's only when I'm in a rare mood. I never use lol, and the times when I did use 'lol', no, I wasn't actually laughing out loud.
