It is one thing if your close friend calls you sweetheart as an acceptable replacement for your name. It's a completely different thing if a guy you haven't seen in five years calls you sweetheart to try to calm you down after giving an offhanded comment that you, of course, were bothered by.
The story goes, my friend AR, was told by some guy that he was was surprised she moved to LA. Upon asking what he meant, he said, and I quote "take it easy...it's not a bad thing sweetheart. it's just...you strike me as too innocent for LA...you know?" [sic].
What does any of that mean? The guy hasn't seen her for five years---how does he know she is too innocent for LA? The whole thing just sounds so condescending, and that's exactly how AR felt. Oh, and as an aside, this entire conversation took place on myspace.

thank you for avenging me!
Any time. I am a superhero/villain in my spare time.
Sounds like something Humphrey Bogart would say.
It does? What can I say... :)
