This is mostly in reference to the latest virus, I suppose, but it's also something I've noticed a lot on the community in general. Isn't there anyone here who doesn't refer to their significant other as "my love", or some variation of the phrase? Doesn't that seem to be... oh, I don't know, overkill? Not to mention overly flowery and sickeningly sweet.

I know at least some of you must agree with me.

I'm trying to prove that they can have a conversation without srnaking at each ..at least for a bit.

Overkill? Why? if you love him, you enjoy to tell him that and that person likes to know it.

Haha, let's see how long that lasts :P

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"My love"? Really?

[sassygirlsrock.livejournal.com]

Really.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Right.

[sassygirlsrock.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Did you read the reasons I gave in my original entry?

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Not a fan of pet names?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[knifeurrib.livejournal.com]

I don't use pet names.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

They can be fun. And other times, it's just something you two share; it can even be an inside joke between the two of you.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Did you use them with Ty Lee?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Fun"? I really don't see how.

Fff, trying to remember if she ever used them Zuko.

[knifeurrib.livejournal.com]

No. Even if she is my girlfriend, I think they're stupid.

Why?

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Yes. I know. It's a term you're not familiar with.

... And Azula was counting on the virus being over

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Is your girlfriend? You mean you thought she was.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't see how a name can be fun.

[sassygirlsrock.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I dont' think that to call someone 'your love' overly flowery and sickeningly sweet. Besides, you don't have to if you don't want.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

It's hard to explain unless you've come up with one. Which, judging by your demeanor, will be impossible.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not coming up with a pet name for myself.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Isn't it redundant, at the very least?

[pandorabox]

I don't call Aoko 'my love.' She calls me that sometimes, though!

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

No, but you can come up with a nickname for yourself, or a pet name for the person who eventually gets to you in that way.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Why am I not surprised?

[pandorabox]

Because it's Aoko?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't want a nickname. And no one is going to "get to me" in such a way that would compel me to act in an idiotic manner.
