The 'Increase Your Vocabulary Snarry-style' Thread

[themostepotente]

Since my last 'Increase Your Vocabulary' post went over well, I thought I'd do another. This one is Snarry themed, and really all you need to do to participate are post words and their definitions that describe Snape and Harry individually. These words should be fairly uncommon. The whole point of this exercise is to learn new words or maybe pass on some of that superior intellect to your fellow ficcers.

I'll start.

Harry

Impetuous = Characterized by sudden and forceful energy or emotion; impulsive and passionate.

CAPSLOCK!HARRY anyone?

Snape

Aquiline = Curved or hooked like an eagle's beak: an aquiline nose.

I always liked this word to describe Snape's nose. Breaks the monotony of 'hooked' or 'beaky.'

Go to it, folks!

Well, yes, he would be cordial generally, I imagine, but not with the 'polite and' attached before it. :) I was thinking more of his (fanon or otherwise) voice with the word, to be honest.

I'm crap. Sooo crap. I haven't written anything but a few articles (that I got published, woot!) since, like, Christmas, and I've got this awful cold. You may remember that I'm almost always sick, so it probably shouldn't come as any great surprise, but I'm feeling really crappy right now and I'm tempted to take the afternoon off work.

My life is absolutely fucking brilliant, though. I'm still with the Weasley, my daughter is beautiful and growing and verbose (well, as much as a two year old can be), and I fucking ADORE my job. It's so excellent. So yes, things are pretty bloody nifty with me, except for the being sick and not writing parts. I'm reading a fair few novels, though, on the bus and the like.

I hope you're well and good, yes? I try to keep up with LJ whenever I can, but I get almost no time now that I work full-time so far away from my house.
