Does the newness wear off?

I really like the (well, what does Fluther call them?) phrases that show up under my username. I change screens just to generate another new phrase. Am I that short of positive feedback that I think those are like the best thing since (and that’s a long time ago.) ?

Yes, the newness wears off, lol. But it’s still nice. I think we need some new phrases.
The phrases are limited, you’ll see a lot of repeats after a while… but I’ve been here for a relatively long time, and I still really like them.
I don’t think the chupacabra one ever gets old.
They still love me best of all.
Fuck off.
I’m their favorite.
It looks like they’ve added some new phrases or I just don’t pay attention that often.
yup. the newness wears off
No fucking way @Blueroses. They told me it was me just before!!!
Oh, it’s on!
I look really, really good today.
Winner!
Yes, but you are forgetting the stuff they said is stuck between your teeth!!
Sorry @DaphneT. @Blueroses always thinks she is Fluther’s favourite.
The luster of everything always becomes less lusterous as time wears on.
Ya know, the new car smell fades, the house with a view goes unnoticed, the hot boyfriends snoring makes you want to stuff a sock in his mouth…but hey kid, you’re lookin’ good today, wait…is that a piece of spinach in your teeth? ;-D
jealous much, @Bellatrix ?
Can’t help it, but I’m not going to make a thing about it with a moderator. Rock on, girl. while I continue to be the favorite
And I am just smashing and never cease to amaze them. I think you rock too though. So all is good :D
Hey, everyone knows that my goose “Marwyn” is a celebrity. I mean, just LOOK at him in his Christmas finery! LOL
I’m just appreciative that they think I smell nice – and that they warn me when the boss is looking. It’s a very practical app, both for my self-confidence and as an alarm system. Thanks Fluther.
Yes, I don’t even notice them anymore. I suppose it began with the promise of doing my dishes that never materialized, that was kind of a disappointment, and the time fluther told me I looked “smashing” when I knew very well that I didn’t. It was a bold faced lie, for what purpose, I don’t know. I had just gotten up, there was some nasty grit in my eyes and I had serious bed-head. I didn’t look smashing at all. There came a time when I began to doubt the sincerity of all of it. Sorry if I am just a little cynical and jaded at this point. :-)
Love is blind @lillycoyote. Perhaps to Fluther you did look smashing.
The dishes thing… you too huh? That is just cruel I think.
@Bellatrix O.K., maybe you’re right, maybe love is blind and Fluther really did think I looked smashing, in spite of the grit in my eyes and my bed-head, maybe I shouldn’t be so cynical, but promising to do my dishes and never following through? I agree, that was just cruel. I was really counting on it. I don’t appreciate being toyed with.
Again, I empathize with y’all in your disappointment. But… I’m the one they’ve been waiting for… must go.
Good luck with your angst, all.
@lillycoyote I just got up and it says I have a twinkle in my eye! So not only is it flattering, but it’s true! My eyes always twinkle. Just look at my avatar! (It’s really me.)
The newness wears off, but I still find them amusing when I remember to look.
It always feels like the first time for me. Love the newness.
I wish they’d quite telling me to brush my teeth and stuff.
@augustlan We could use some new ones. Maybe we could ask the jellies for some of their saying donations!
@Dutchess_III, uurm, you have something stuck between your teeth.
Crap. Urrrm @Bellatrix. Your paws smell like litter box!
I went through a spell of getting negative messages like “why are you fluthering with unwashed dishes in the sink?” or “Jeez you look like you just crawled out of bed” and it was a real bummer.
I laugh. I’ve been in and out of Fluther in the past two days and completely forget to check the phrase until I’ve surfed the questions a bit.
