I think I did this one before, but it's always fun.

Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me.

It can only be one word.

No more.

Then copy & paste this in your journal so that I may leave a word about you.

Thanks! I love that word almost as much as megalocarpous!

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

what about being both?

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Makes me feel downright sesquipedalian!

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

Well, you can't say anyone is floccinaucinihilipilificating you, can you?

kallisti

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

I am "for the most beautiful one"? I'll go for that, seeing as I'm yours. :)

I know what you meant, though. Just giving you a hard time. Thank you. :)

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

Fine, how about καλος ?

[tisana.livejournal.com]

Er..."good"? That's what kalo means. It's what you say when someone says "How are you?"

Why not όμορφος (omorphos or omorphi, meaning beautiful)?

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

I knew what he meant.

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

I went off of wiki calling kalos as the root for kallisti.

Hehehe...please, let's be honest: HEDONIST! :)

Elegant

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) It's nice to know I can pull off "elegant". I've always felt I had a hard time with that.

[p-firesinger.livejournal.com]

What I see is attempts to be sexy and attractive when the underlying elegance is self evident. You are more attractive just being yourself.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

I think I AM myself, nearly all the time. I don't feel like I put on acts. As far as trying to be sexy and attractive, I try to simply bring out what's inside.

I haven't worn masks in years, except the physical kind.

[p-firesinger.livejournal.com]

No, you do not put on acts. And you do a good job of being sexy and attractive, that comes through. You can not try to be elegant and succeed, you either are or you aren't. And you are. It shows in everything you do.

In other words, you don't need to try to be elegant, you simply are. And the efforts towards the sexy and attractive are not unsuccessful or you "pretending" anything. It is just evident from time to time that they can be priorities in your life.

In short (too late) you are sexy, attractive, and elegant. But, it is the elegance that strikes me as the theme that colors the rest. Even if you were covered in mud and screaming insults I think you would be elegant, it is the way you are.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Even if you were covered in mud and screaming insults I think you would be elegant

Oh, absolutely. :)

I think I might have misunderstood what you said before. I thought you were saying something along the lines of "You're elegant, but if you stopped trying so hard to be attractive, you'd be more attractive."

*grin*
Thanks!

ubiquitous

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

*snicker*

Yes, it does seem so, doesn't it? :)

[mzwyndi.livejournal.com]

I totally caved and friended you yesterday. Hel's bells, we seem to be reading each other regularly anyway... may as well make it 'formal'.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw that just now, and friended you back! :)

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

hmm, probably better served with the superlative of the word: kallistos {κάλλιστος}
sup of kalos
comp of kalos being kallion (argh, not allowing the accent mark . . .)

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Something like that.

I think that there IS a connotation of "beautiful" sometimes in that root word..."Kalliope" is usually translated as "beautiful-voiced".

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

well, see, this time I looked it up.

The use of kalo as "good" in response to "ti kanete?" or "ti kanes?" come back to an idiomatic use of beautiful=healthy=good.

kalos is beautiful, kallistos is most beautiful (superlative of kalos), kallisti is dative of the superlative= to the most beautiful

[quepid.livejournal.com]

Refined.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Like that ever-so-bad-for-you white sugar! Nifty! :P
