bodacious

I was on facebook earlier today entering a new status. I said something about dying my hair bodacious burgundy (which is the color you see in my photo above). Well..."bodacious" got one of those red lines under it. aka, it's not recognized as a real word, or I spelled it wrong. Well, being the smart girl that I am with a vast vocabulary, I know bodacious is a word. But I was interested to see what the spelling suggestions were. I took the liberty of looking all of them up for you:

contumacious--[kon-too-mey-shuhs, -tyoo-–adjective stubbornly perverse or rebellious; willfully and obstinatelydisobedient.
mendacious--[men-dey-shuhs–adjective telling lies, especially habitually; dishonest; lyinguntruthful
sagacious--[suh-gey-shuhs–adjective having or showing acute mental discernment and keen practical sense; shrewd
voracious--[vaw-rey-shuhs, voh-, vuh-–adjective craving or consuming large quantities of food; exceedingly eager or avid

I'll be honest. I had never heard of any of these (which makes me want to retract what I said earlier about having a vast vocabulary). They're fun words to say though, right? They're even more fun to use. I think I'm going to make it a point to use all of them as often as possible for the rest of the week.

Oh yeah--I'm not being mendacious about dying my hair either. I may even put some purple in it (totally contumacious, right?). Like one of my new favorite celebrities--Katy Perry.
(by the way, she's a really lucky lady to be married to Russell Brand, because he's a total babe.)

Anyway, I'm donating plasma in the morning which I feel takes a certain degree of sagaciousness, but I'm not feeling very voracious about it, because the last time I did, I had a citrate reaction. Which was really horrible (we're talking top 5 most horrible experiences ever in the history of my being). But that's another story for another post on a different day.

rach, you make me laugh. and i am voraciously enjoying all this posting! (btw, i am going to tell on you to jamie about trying to lift weights after donating. we were just talking about how he has the power to put someone on a national "do not donate" list. haha.)
