Heee, "pumpkin." One of the most adorable endearments in my book, and utterly incomprehensible when viewed from a literal standpoint apart from "people like to call people they love food names."

This is adorable. Especially the last line. (And I'm totally in agreement with your above comments re: JMS, his arrogance, and romantic bits. He does well with them sometimes, even (...well, sort of), but other times..... yeah.)
