ok, tentative list.
words used in im to indicate emotion/state-of-mind, outside of emoticons, which could conceivably be misinterpreted:
*shrug*
*sigh*
"hmmm"
"hahaha" [and/or "hehe"?]
"um."
[edit: "oh"?
"oops"?
"anyway"]
[edit 2: annoyance words, perhaps? "gah"
"meh"
"blah" and "bleh"--maybe all four of those count only as one--do you all think of them as really the same thing?]
[edit 3: "eep"
"meep"]
um too similar to hm? c'mon, someone. gimme some input.
maybe "to indicate emotion" isn't quite what i'm going for so much as "to replace other components of a face-to-face conversation." some of those substitute for tone of voice, some for facial expression...
