I'm bad at this.

scintilla \sin-TIL-uh\, noun:
A tiny or scarcely detectable amount; the slightest particle; a trace; a spark.

Interesting. I don't believe I've heard this word in years.
And to be quite honest, the first thing I thought of when I saw it was "chinchilla." NO IDEA WHY.

Ugh I should not be awake at this hour.

I'm not that much of a violent person, am I?

...don't answer that.

Late, again.

parry \PAR-ee\, verb, noun:

noun:

Hmm. I don't know that I can think of anything pertaining to this.

Oh...wait. Maybe the ring I started wearing on that finger. Everyone kept asking if my boyfriend gave it to me but I made it during senior year in Studio Art.

I just like wearing it on that finger because it's fun to see the double-takes.

temerity \tuh-MER-uh-tee\, noun:

...what do I do that isn't inspired by a foolhardy contempt of danger?

I'm reckless as hell.

Most recent example: running a red light in Bumfuck, Ontario.
Nearly killed Ciara in the process since another car was actually using the intersection correctly.
Whoops?

I am far from acute. I miss everything all the time.

Though I can't lie, the first thing I thought of was "a cute" and that just made me think of how many times I've been called "cute" in the last two weeks. I'm such a dork.

I would hope that most of the time I'm cheerfully optimistic.

Actually, that's a bit of a lie. I'm a horrible pessimist.

This seems like all me and my friends ever do.

Like when Tiffany, Ciara and I were chilling in Starbucks with Neil from Kiros. We all were badmouthing his band because we could. Because we love them enough to do so.
