word of the day.

so, i had this great idea as i was strolling into work today. apart from the excitement in knowing that i was about to get my vanilla latte from the coffee cart downstairs, i had the greatest idea to start a 'word of the day' blog. now, i know what you're thinking, 'cool steph. don't you know that there's already a whole entire website dedicated to doing just that- providing the word of the day straight to your inbox, even?!'

yea. i do. and it bores me. here's what happens each day when i check my inbox and i see my 'word of the day' just waiting for me to open it up and have my vocab expanded:

virtuoso \vur-choo-OH-soh\, noun, adjective;
pl. virtuosos, virtuosi:

1. a person skilled in the techniques of an art, esp. playing a musical instrument; by extension, a person with a cultivated appreciation of artistry
2. showing mastery in artistic skills

-begin my internal thought process-

oh sweet. i like this one. what if there were a person, maybe a woman.. crazy hair, tasseled clothes.. one of her arms is a guitar, or maybe even a xylophone, her fingers are paint brushes and she's dancing. but she is a master at what she does, this skilled patron of the arts, and so she has her easel and supplies all perfectly surrounding her in delicate order. the painting behind her says "i'm a virtuoso".

-end internal thought process-

now THAT'S a word of the motha effin' day ladies and gents. i will start this blog the second i finish writing this current one to tell you of the aforementioned one. it is going to be great. and it is going to force me to draw slash paint slash conglomerate slash, even dare i say, sing the word of the day, ultimately molding me into yes.. you guessed it.. a VIRTUOSO.

oh this is going to be real great. the MOST great!

I will try to incorporate your words into my daily conversations. If you would like to, you're welcome to feature some of my own homemade words. Like "blogpourri, religianity, midgetism".

i can't tell you how great this is. i was thinking the very same thing.. not only about featuring now your homemade words, but having selected days where i feature non-word words. such as these: audastrous, unbareal, insomniatic.. to name a few. all words in which i have created, or rather combined, to make into much more epic, delightful words. :D and now i have yours?!!

oh this is going to be just great!
