Fetish, huh?

i can't be the first person who's mentioned it!

maybe fetish is a little strong of a description, but keep in mind i'm
the opposite of precise when it comes to using language, so i had no
problem using the word. my bf is a member of the grammar police, so he
has his job cut out for him dealing with my "heather speak". (that's
what he calls it, not me)

Yes, what I said is defective in that I do not account for
situational irony.

it's ok- as long as people understand each other finally, i'm happy.
