double-chinned man with a cheekful of food: ( :-Y))

ok, I need the consensus on this. You are writing an email. Or an IM. Any digital communication really. Well, text-based. Anyway, you make a parenthetical aside, and you include an emoticon. Its a common occurrence. Which of the following do you do:

a. Hey hi how's it going (good I hope :)
OR
b. Hey, ya, its going awful (just kidding! ;) )

close that opening paren or not? This always leaves me puzzled!
