OK well this is a mini rant about how annoying English can be. Mind you, I don't spea any other languages fluently (I used to be OK in french and took a spanish class this term) so I don't have much choice in what to speak but sometimes the lack of descriptive words in English is frustrating. Specifically this is a rant about the word "love".

I love SVU. I love chocolate ice cream. I love my mom. I love David Archuleta. I will someday fall in love? Are these all the same???? Seriously, there should be at least 3 different words for love.

Love#1: This love is another way to say "strongly like". It wouldn't be used for people you know. I think it could be used for celebrity crushes or other people you don't know personally in addition to objects or activities you thoroughly enjoy. I love spring. Ilove Johnny Depp. I love eating breakfast. I love spending time with family. I love tv.com. You get the idea...

Love#2: This love is to describe your feelings for friends or family. I love my mom. I love my brothers. "I love you Jess (a friend)". Maybe this could include animals or anything you have a personal bond with (I would put my love for my teddy bear in this category just because ). This is deifferent for love#1 because you don't just enjoy these people, but you have a deep personal connecting with them. You miss them when they're not there, you think about them all the time, you're purely hppy when they're around. Although I might not Love#1 what my brother is doing (for example, if he's bothering me) but it won't affect my love#2 for him. Love#2 doesn't just happen, it's formed with time and experience together. When you love#2 somebody , it is a very special thing.

Love#3: This love is the type of love when a girl falls in love with a guy. I can say that I have never experienced love#3 before so clearly I am no expert but I have seen love#3 in many people. I won't try to preach what it is, becasue we all know (or don't know) what I'm talking about but it is different for love#2 and love#1 and is very special. I hope I will one day experience it.

But serieously guys... who decided these 3 should be the same word... they clearly describe very different emotions. Sometimes I want to tell somebody that I love#2 them but if I say it, it sounds so un-special because I use the word love 30 times a day describing things I love#1 love. Does't this bother anyone else?? I just hope everyone understands how much I apprciate them...
