collection #1

favorite titles for those near and dear to me:

ninja--as in "what up, ninja," or "yo, ninjalicious!"

monkey--generally accompanies a statement of concern, as in "poor little monkey." there's generally an office pool as to how long i have to know somebody before i start calling them monkey. the general estimation is about three hours. not so. i am much maligned by such accusations--i usually make it to at least four.

biscuit--actually my unofficial nickname for one of my friends. nothing says loving like screaming "biscuit!" from across a crowded room. but, you know. in a pinch it works in a whole variety of situations. like answering the phone. or hailing a cab. very useful indeed!

other words i use far too often: bloody, brilliant, fabulous, absolutely, nice, right, indeed, bitch-ass.

other words i simply cannot live without (yet rarely use): luscious, lepidoptera, rapscallion, diaspora, apoplectic, asphyxiate, aesthetic, aardvark, eskimo, salad (pronounced "saalaaaaaaaaahhd").

just a taste.
