refulgent:

shining brightly; radiant; gleaming

how to use in casual conversation:

"as we got away from the city the the refulgent cosmos suddenly appeared"
"you're refulgent, did you get some last night?"

not to be confused with:

repugnant

how it makes me feel:

i am not refulgent today. the sighs emminating from the cube farm i spend my weekdays haunting tell me that i'm not alone. i don't know what it is about a 3 day weekend that makes you need another weekend. at least it'll be a short week.
