The sibilance in the word makes me think of a slicing motion, of clarity, glass and steel.

FUCK.

Quiver [kwiv-er]
–noun
1. a case for holding or carrying arrows.
2. the arrows in such a case.

This is such an unusual, pretty word. I think I like it because it reminds me of roleplaying games and I’m a sucker for any kind of escapism.

32. Gray. In my mind, there has always been a distinction between gray and grey – gray is more of a bluish shade, and grey is more of a greenish one. I have no real reason for this, except that grey starts with the same first letters as green. People think I’m insane when I tell them this.
33. Cerulean. This is just a fun word to say and write. And I do like blue…
34. Crimson (and clover…over and over…) ::hums::
35. Sage. (Has many meanings, I know…I’m using it for a color right now.)
36. Azure.
37. Violet.

(Digressing into flowers now.)

38. Hyacinth. I’d love to name a daughter this, except what would her friends call her? Hya?
39. Lilac/lavender. (They’re closely related in my mind, so I’m grouping them together.) For some reason, I always want to spell it lavendar. Not sure why.
40. Lily.

(Ah, heck, I can come up with 3 more words. But I must hurry, ‘cause I’ve got a cuddly bf waiting in bed for me.)

41. Toast. Toast of the town. Toasty. Buttery toast. Or, as FFB loves to sing, “Toast…yeah, toast.”
42. Cashmere. I’m allergic to it, but I love the word.
43. Ombre. (Not, as spellcheck wants me to write, hombre. Too lazy to figure out how to do the accent.)

rambuncious
discombobulated
universe
tropical
catharsis

29. aura
30. aurora
31. twit

(Don’t ask how I was reminded of them…this was first thing in the morning, and I’ve had a lot of other thoughts since then. My guess is I stumbled across them in my RSS feeds.)

28. Smirk. ‘Cause it’s hard to say it without doing it.

placebo

A person who is both a jackass and an ass hole. A good way to imply someone is an ass without actually calling them an ass.
