Hey hey. Hopefully I can think of articles to post on here fairly regularly. If not, suck it. I'll probably write about movies I like, stuff I'm thinking about, or just anything. So here I am!

(Disclaimer: Yes, I'm only 16. If that deters you from reading anything I say about relationships, so be it.)

Now I've never been one to be clichéd. I've always wanted to think differently and not do what everyone else does, as far as relationships go. If I do say something jaded, I try to say it with as much meaning and emphasis as I can, to let the other person know that I mean more than it may sound.

Is that even possible anymore, to go without saying a jaded or overused phrase for at least a little while? I understand it might be hard not to say something like "I love you with all my heart", but do you really love that person with all your heart? Call this my cry against empty "love", but, as the great Foghorn Leghorn would say, "SAY WHATCHA MEAN BOY!"

Sometimes there are no good words to express the intense way we feel about other people. Trite expressions are the best we can muster.

Instead of "I love you with all my heart," my husband and I say, "I love you so hard, baby," in our very best redneck voices.

We both understand what we mean.

Please, Texas, don't ever say that again... you're creeping me out here!

Dude, who cares if it's cliche. All that matters is that it's true. If it's true than it can't be cliche by definition, right?

If you like to do things differently then do things traditionally. At our age, the last thing we need is "new" ways to do things... I'm already creaped out by all the different things people try at our school. Just be a gentleman at all times about these kinds of things.

Capt. over and out!

Boy, can I ever vouch for that, I don't think I'd end up going THAT far unconventional.

No, it's just too expensive.

It's not really all that expensive. Of course, when your mom gives 100 dollars because you don't have any money for supper, I guess your opinion on these kinds of things just doesn't count.

Cliche...pah....the only reasons these sayings are indeed trite is that movies use them way too much...Andy, though these things you wish to say can be a bit cliche, as long as they express your heart is what matters...(I have to fart....sorry, had to make the rest of it rhyme...)

I agree with Capt. Just be a gentleman. I really wouldn't know about being one, but I do know that a lot of people like when guys are gentlman. Trust me, I'm a girl, I think I would know!

sorry for the short article just now, i pushed the wrong key and accidentallt submitted my coment prematurely. N E WAYZ... to love someone with your whole heart is a misunderstanding as it is, beacause if you were to love someone with your whole heart, that would leave no room for other relationshpis, and without other relationships out side of romantic relationships, the romance will be exhumed. thus, leaving one with out love, with out hope, ad with out life. if by saying that you love some one with your whole heart, you mean "baby, i would never cheat on you with a cheap canadian prostitute," or on a more serious note, " i have feelings for no other girl but you," then you may very well be un-cliched. however this also falls in to one's own personal meaning of love. I mean, honestly, is love a commitment you make , or do you not really know what it is to love them untill you've stood the test of time. *marrige. Well, sorry i'm so boring.
