There are lots of interesting words out there. I've always thought "Ethereal" had a nice ring to it. My friend told me about "Akimbo," which is when you put your hands on your hips and look stern. Stern is, coincidentally, another cool word. |

quixotic foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals; especially : marked by rash lofty romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action (m-w.com) I really want to use this word more often, but I keep forgetting what it means. |

ossify reminds me of a Ted leo song. he sort of uses it in a more metphorical sense about people being complacent and static. excellent word. and quixotic has long been a favorite of mine. here's two for didy-- pre- and post-lapsarian. before and after the Fall of mankind from the garden in providential history. i love these words. it's really the on'y efficient way to say before the fall. |

YES! That's where I got it! I interpreted it more as slowing down and doing nothing. And it's not the time to ossify it's not the end of wondering why. |
