Favorite Word:
September equinoxI have always loved how the word September rolls off my tongue and equinox is just fun to say. I like balance in life and here the Southern Hemisphere are opposites. The Spring of one Hemisphere is the Autumn equinox of the other.
Least Favorite Word:
stupidI just think It's such an ugly word. I grew up in the south, people who speak with a southern accent are often considered stupid.
