My Favorites
Favorite Word:
gloriousIt just rolls of your tongue. It has always sounded like a "pretty" word. It is a word that isn't used enough for my liking.
Least Favorite Word:
retardedThis word has been used and abused to describe everything from "stupid" as in "I think that's a retarded idea", to someone who is developmentally delayed. Even though it is an older term for developmentally delayed, I just feel it isn't used appropriately and/or used to be mean or hateful.
Favorite Quote:
""People may not remember what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel.""
- Unsure. If anyone knows, please let me know, thanks
