Fun words that I wish were used more...

...except not really because then they wouldn't be as fun. So I take that back. Here's some fun words that I say occasionally and love.

hoity-toity
adj; pompous, self-important and snobbish

snarky
(First came across this word on my loverly's blog. Snarky Drea.)
adj; snide and sarcastic

smarmy
adj; buttery, unpleasantly and excessively suave or ingratiating in manner or speech

dapper
adj; neat, trim; stylishly dressed, neatly dressed; spiffy

rubbish
n; garbage, junk, refuse, waste; nonsense; to denounce, to criticise; exceedingly bad; awful; terrible; crap; expresses that something is exceedingly bad, terrible or awful

huzzah
A cheer often associated with sailors, shouted by a group in praise of a thing or event

hooligan
n; a person that causes trouble or violence

ruffian
n; a scoundrel, rascal or unprincipled, deceitful, brutal and unreliable person
Hmmm... So I know they aren't exceptionally extraordinary, and the list was much shorter than I thought it would be, but it's a beautiful day and I want to go for a walk. If you have more fun words for me, comment!

A lot on my mind...

"God fashioned me For feeding; And set me in A hungry land." -Carol Lynn Pearson In me, God has made someone who wants to help, someone who wants to serve. When I was younger, I never wanted to be a mom and I only wanted to marry a man that would follow me where my career took me as I tried to prove myself in a man's world. Well, since then my view has changed. All I want to do with my life is work for those that I love. That sounds so perfect. Now at the moment I have no husband and no children, but I love my friends so much and I strive to be the help they need. As Pearson stated, "God fashioned me for feeding and set me in a hungry land." These friends that I love so much are hungry. They come to me with all of their problems. It seems that an exceptional amount of people find me to be an excellent confidant. My friends tell me things they've only ever told their girl/boyfriends, bishops, or parents. Or even things they've never told anyone...

Things I've thought about blogging, but never really got around to making them into full blog posts: 1.

Don't insult her choice to wait and date, or wait, or whatever the details are. She already feels alone and what she wants is a friend. If you're her friend then you have a much better chance at winning her over. Insulting her missionary is no good either. This is someone she cares about enough to consider waiting two years for. He is her love. If you insult someone she cares about deeply, she won't like you. 2. Stop playing these stupid games! Games and drama just hurt people and cause unnecessary stress. If you like someone, then act like it. Don't try to distance yourself. Don't tell everyone except that person. Don't be ridiculous. Just act true to your f...
