first make sure you are using the new homepage, and not the classic homepage, then just click the update link in the mood and status section, and then click on the mood box and start typing what you want it to sayHow can i change my mood and status on myspace?
I went there to see and YES you can write a line or two but the smiley face is below your hand written comment. In the drop-down button for ';friends'; you will see in the list ';Status %26amp; Mood'; click on that and on the new page on the top right side of the page is were you can write you comment for your Mood. enjoy
