~A Bitter Swallow~

Well, here we go. I promised to take my "word of the day"s each week and combine them into a singular post. I worked on this today. I must admit, I threw it together in about a half hour, because I had forgotten about it. So, it's a bit muddy, but I know you'll forgive me.

This weeks words are as follows:
brachiate , wend , pretermite , cadge , dissimulate , munificent , exigency , bombinate , odium , abnegate , unctuous , querulous


I have a tendency to bombinate on and on in my head about my odium for the stagnation my life has become. For some, life has an unctuous quality, allowing them to sail smoothly through without complaint.
I, however, am quite querelous about the exigency of changing myself. I have been wending my way through life, brachiating from one path to the other without much thought to my own welfare or happiness. I have been munificent on doing whatever it takes to please everyone around me, while being pretermit about what needs to be done for me, thereby abinegating my own sense of satisfaction or contentment.
Consequently, I have been on somewhat of a subconscious level reaching out to others, dissimulating my attempts to cade them into saving me from allowing my sense of of Self to wither away.

I subscribe to a couple different "word a day" feeds. Each day, I get a new word advertised on my iGoogle homepage, and another one emailed to me. Two different places each giving me a different word to remember in an attempt to broaden my weakened vocabulary.

The problem I am having is what to do with this plethora of new words I am obtaining. And many of them are in fact new to me. How do I retain these words and their meaning into my brain to pluck out and utilize in some fantastic way? Do I write daily definitions ten times over? Do I work them somehow into my "daily writing"? That is what my original thought was, but many of them are words that I do not really have a topic that fits. And trying to create a topic out of some of them is enough to bang my head against the wall and scream obscene amounts of profanity. Not conducive to my word flow.... well, at least not anything I would want to post publicly!


So now my idea is that I will get index cards. With the same procedure I did while memorizing all those drug names, etc, I shall put the word on one side, and the definition on the other, and test my knowledge regularly! Then, I will try my darnedest to incorporate those words into my daily writings or talkings as much as possible... so much that people get sick of my "big talk"!

Ok, so since I am at work (apparently inspiration strikes me here too!)I should probably stop doing this and do something I am suppose to be doing. :)
