Favorite Word:
catalystI like the word catalys because it is how I view my life's purpose: to be a catalyst of hope, peace, and positive transformation-- I just realized how hippy and touchy-feely that sounds, oh well.
Least Favorite Word:
apathyIt's not that I don't like the word, but I hate the condition of apathy.
