Does the newness wear off?

Asked by DaphneT (5750points) December 7th, 2011

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.

jonsblond's avatar

It looks like they’ve added some new phrases or I just don’t pay attention that often.

Bellatrix's avatar

No fucking way @Blueroses. They told me it was me just before!!!

Blueroses's avatar

Oh, it’s on!

I look really, really good today.

Winner!

Bellatrix's avatar

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

Doesn’t it always?

Blueroses's avatar

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

Bellatrix's avatar

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. :-)

Bellatrix's avatar

Love is blind @lillycoyote. Perhaps to Fluther you did look smashing.

The dishes thing… you too huh? That is just cruel I think.

lillycoyote's avatar

@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.

Blueroses's avatar

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.

snowberry's avatar

@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.)

augustlan's avatar

The newness wears off, but I still find them amusing when I remember to look.

blueiiznh's avatar

It always feels like the first time for me. Love the newness.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I wish they’d quite telling me to brush my teeth and stuff.

Dutchess_III's avatar

@augustlan We could use some new ones. Maybe we could ask the jellies for some of their saying donations!

Bellatrix's avatar

@Dutchess_III, uurm, you have something stuck between your teeth.

Dutchess_III's avatar

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.

DaphneT's avatar

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.
