how it makes me feel:

meh. i try not to be overly negative about words when i don't need to. if i get all hopped up about a mediocre WOTD, you won't take it seriously when i am legitimately angry about a horrible WOTD. so that being said, this is a mediocre WOTD. i'll admit to not being terribly familiar with the word itself, but based on it's constituent parts and it's definition we know that it is somehow related to other words we are all exceptionally familiar with. i suppose we could scape some value out of a sentiment along the lines of "wow, i've never heard of the word but it makes sense given that evidence is blah blah blah, and then convince is blah blah blah" but i'm not that chipper of a person and quite frankly that kind of hoo-ha just makes me irritated. speaking of being irritated, we lost internet at my house for like 3-whole-days. so not only was my porn spigot turned off, but i also had to resort to watching things from my severely limited DVD collection as netflix was a no-go. so i started watching season one of the west wing. again. but this wasn't the irritating part. actually i wasn't irritated at all. but i was thinking about what a pain in the ass toby zeigler was. internet is back by the way. porn galore!
