Regardless, I've seen Rowan use that term all the time and I've just always figured it was a nickname, a term of endearment just like "sweetie" or "honey". As long as it means something to both of you, I think it's wonderful.

Makes Blizzard's job of creating gear models easier. OTOH, I had a friend who was irritated as all get out that he would put on "brand new" epic gear from raids and it would look like rags on his Forsaken.rowanblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820814610269599162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-16465226063880896572012-08-14T15:47:01.071-05:002012-08-14T15:47:01.071-05:00I neglected to note it in the survey, but I just r...I neglected to note it in the survey, but I just realized that I've often been disappointed that I can't make weakling casters for male human WoW characters.

Why is bride a negative word? She might introduce him as her handsome groom or loving husband. The term bride means a youth in marriage. They are in the puppy love stage of it and him saying, "My lovely bride" shows me he is passionate about her. I think I might be missing why calling her that is a bad thing. The edited version scream, "Hey, I sleep with this person only because we wanted a tax break."<br /><br />Scaryboosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791243265440602798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-21901843582150553282012-08-14T11:00:09.405-05:002012-08-14T11:00:09.405-05:00I could say "my wife," but that doesn...I could say "my wife," but that doesn't seem any better.

There's no doubt that you love her, and as lovely as she may be, she no doubt deserves to be more than "a bride". <br /><br />This is a pet peeve of mine that goes back a long way, so it's not directly directed at you, but I thought that this was the proper opportunity to surface that.

Are the only physique choices too voluptuous or muscular, or skinny? Or do you have the choice to make your character how you like? Extremely padded shoulders doesn't count. :)<br /><br />2) It counts if you've been called a racial slur, etc., even if the insult doesn't really apply to you.

I'm not 100% sure how to answer some of those questions though, and since it is much easier to ask for feedback than in many other surveys, I just will:<br /><br />1) Feeling uncomfortable with customization choices. Does that mostly aim at feeling queasy or even offended? or also annoyed that you can't get a character to look like you would prefer, because the choice isn't there? or even slightly amused by the outlandishness of, for example, costumes with extremely padded shoulders?<br /><br />2) If you're called by a racial slur, or things that hint (rather bluntly) at your sexual orientation or prowess, but they technically don't apply to you as person because you don't belong to that group, does that still count?floschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784402621836933199noreply@blogger.com
