Favorite Word:
awkwardIt is awkward to say and to spell (what other word has w-k-w in the middle of it?), but strangely rhythmic to spell out loud. Try it: A-W-K-W-A-R-D. I think cheerleaders would use it, if it weren't an insult.
Favorite Quote:
"I am in love with this world. I have nestled lovingly in it. I have climbed its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed its deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and joy waited upon my going and comings."
- John Burroughs
