I finally decided that it was weird that I hadn’t written a Friendster testimonial for my own boyfriend. This was my 110 word solution:
Andreas has suffered uncountable atrocities while under my care. For starters, he has to put up with an endless barrage of humiliating pet names (schnoifliein, gloifus, nerb, meine, and pyoopis among them). THEN there’s the strange snarling monster sounds accompanied by sneak nibble attacks. But he has accepted all my, er, eccentricities with open arms, and I have this to say: Andreas is without a doubt the most compassionate, thoughtful, empathic, articulate, and gorgeous man I’ve ever met. I suppose that’s why, when hippies ask me where my “spirit partner” is, I know they’re asking for Andreas. Truly a find. Then again, he’s my boyfriend, so I’m a little biased.

It’s technically “pupus,” sort of like pupae, but noone knows how to pronounce pupus.
