I like those words more then the others.

Just because he killed himself doesn't make it okay for you to call everyone that's done the same less than you. It doesn't make someone else's life less valuable than your own. Don't be an arrogant piece of crap.

No, you misunderstand me. I never said anything about anyone being better or worse than me myself. Kurt Cobain was awesome, he was the best but he killed himself. That makes what I originally said in the first place wrong. Remember I said after you complained "your right".

And for those who don't know, literally it means 'before the deluge', i.e. before the (Biblical) flood.

Then why bother saying it in the first place? I myself am not a fan of his, but I know that suicide doesn't negate a person's worth to their friends and family.

[Deviant Kitten]

Sinuous - This word reminds me of my cat: winding in and out of obstacles lithely and gracefully.

Ethereal - A wonderful way to describe dreams or the subconscious thoughts that flow continuously through our minds - things that are delicate, insubstantial and intangible - but undeniably real. It also makes me think of faeries and elves! *grin*

Demonic - I love the way this word fits its meaning perfectly with its strong, masculine sound.

Labyrinth - Lots of reasons for this one; it looks and sounds beautiful, I like the peculiar spelling, it reminds me of the groovy David Bowie film and it conjures up images of mysterious, ancient mazes which contain treacherous turns and secret pathways.

Forest - This word is just so evocative of deep, primal green and dappled sunlight. I can't say this word without picturing myself surrounded by towering trees and small, wild creatures. I'm a little strange though - I'd live in a treehouse if I could!

Macabre - Just a wonderfully sinister, gothic word - plus it can be pronounced with either two or three syllables, which is handy when you're trying to make it fit into a line of poetry! *wink*

Iridescent - I picture beautiful, shimmering silk or green and blue butterfly wings when I hear this word.

Silhouette - Another word with a beautiful sound to it. The images I get from this one are of dusk; trees painted blackly against a darkening sky.

I'll have to come back to you later with the other two words!

Probably because it's close to sinewy.

Hmm... I don't like the word "sinewy" but I love "sinuous". Strange, no? *confused smile*

[Deviant Kitten]

*bumps up thread*

I like this topic!

Passion is another word I love. I think everyone should be passionate about something, whether it's music, art, vintage clothes or something totally random, like... collecting teapots! *grin* Passion is what makes life worth living, in my eyes.

3. Paradox
4. Ambiance
5. Heliophobe - I'd never heard of that one before so I guess I should thank Blushing Heliophobe
6. Juxtaposition. Just because it has my two favourite letters in it - X and J.

8. Rascal
9. Nostalgia
10. Euphemism

[BlackPaladin]

[Magpie_Tendencies]

I was aware of what it meant - it was in a book we were reading in class. I don't particularly like the genre but I like the word. Seems appropriate considering it's meaning.

[Lady Ravenna]

I thought of a really good word..."seep"...As in "the blood seeps through" I dont know...I was just IMing and I used the word and I thought it imparative to add it to this list.

I was just commenting that I was aware of the meaning and it wasn't just some random word I liked. I guess the way I typed my response made it sound kinda rude... my mistake .

[Nachtlicht]

I have searched through my bigass purse to find my notebook and in which lies the list of my favorite words. Was that bad grammar? Its sounds to me like bad grammar.

In no particular order:
1. Syndicate - What can I say, it's just too cool for school.
2. Melancholy - Always a crowd pleaser.
3. Malice - Sounds so very wrathful.
4. Macabre
5. Evangelism - Just rolls of the tongue.
6. Tenacious - Reminds of a firey passion for life.
7. Meandering
8. Morose
9. Waffle - It was a favorite ever since my brother told me that in Counter Strike, whenever you stab someone in the back it's called waffling.
10. Glutton
