Inspired by whytheyrehot.com

I am completely, utterly, and totally in love with:

-Adam Brody! (always and forever--seeing a photo of him still takes my breath away)

-Ash Stymest (british model. hiiiiiiii)

-Gaspard Ulliel (le sigh)

-Paul Rudd (probably my favorite of the apatow crew)

-Ryan Renolds (no explanation necessary)

-Pharell Williams (my favorite N.E.R.D.)

-Johnny Depp (at any age)

-Taylor Lautner (he's almost legal!)

-Seth Rogen (funny and sexy? not fair)

-Jude Law (they say he's a jerk...but look at those eyes)

-Conor Oberst (mmmm)

-Bret and Jemaine :D

-Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who rocks the rugged look equally as well as this clean-shaven bidness)

-Brad Pitt (cliché, but with good reason)

-Leonardo DiCaprio (see above)

-James Marsden (real life prince charming!)

-Ne-Yo (a respectful R&B singer with a smooth voice and even smoother dance moves. and lord knows i love a man who can dance)

-Rupert. Grint. (unff)

-James FrancOH

-Matthew McConaughey (everybody loves a good ol' texas boy!)

-Ewan MacGregor (charmingest accent on the planet)

-Landon Pigg (i'll fall in love with him at a coffee shop any day. and i don't even like coffee)

-Matt Damon (mm-hmm)

-Paolo Nutini (not italian, though the name--and looks--would have you believe otherwise)

-Richard Gere (i've had a schoolgirl crush on him since "Pretty Woman")

-George Clooney (is any woman impervious to his charms?)

-Barack Obama (duh.)

-And, of course, my boyfriend:


awwwww.

words i like

the following is a list of words i like. could be because of their meaning. or the way they taste in my mouth. or maybe their exemplary status as onomatopoeia. whatever the case, as an added bonus, some of them have really sweet denotations, which i have provided for you in my own words. which i guess technically makes them connotations. whatever. my blog, my rules. (or, more accurately, no rules.)

real words:

cotton

fiji

lilies

eva (pronounced eev or eh-va, i like both)

fuck (this word is so satisfying to say, if you can get over the vulgarity. saying it feels like having a mouth full of chocolate chunks, or a big bite of a juicy apple. don't ask.)

button (adorable and fun to say)

peach (as juicy and enjoyable in your mouth as the fruit itself)

susurration--a whispering noise. for me it always conjures a mental image of a room full of people whispering with a really powerful intent, like an angry swarm

quaint
loquacious--wordy, verbose. especially pleasing since it really seems to exemplify its meaning

superfluous--unnecessary, extravagant. ditto the above comment

erstwhile--in the past, formerly. doesn't it just sound quaintly old-fashioned? ooh, there's another one!

onomatopoeia
sesquipedalian--a long word, one with many syllables. comes from the Latin sesquipedalis, many feet. yet again, a perfect example of its own definition

bungle

mnemonic

phonaesthetic

fricative

floozy
whorl

orthoepy--the way a word or a language is customarily spoken.

perspicacious-- The archaic (and now obsolete) definition: Able to physically see clearly; quick-sighted; sharp-sighted...which led to today's, which is: being of acute discernment, having keen insight, or being mentally perceptive.

stabby--the best way to portray that just-perturbed-enough state in which, when provoked, you might actually end up shanking your aggressor. ooh, there's another one!

perturb--so much better than disturb, its less-exciting cousin.

furlough

equipoise--or equipoised

made-up words:

ridonkulous

biffle

aerie

thizz

hyphy

foreign words:

esquincle - spanish

pantoufles - french

sœur - french

printemps - french

maité - unsure (i actually knew a little girl with this as a name, she was SO adorable. means love, btw)

tokhes (tuchus) - yiddish

zwischen - german

kuchen - german

schvarm - german

blixtförälskelse - swedish

more later, maybe.
