Ah, and strange vocabulary connection I just made for school.
The word Supercilious pretty much means arrogant. The root for it is Supercilium which means ‘eyebrow’. I guess even back when this root was made, arrogant people still raised their eyebrows. 😛

@sierra-r I can’t…when and who was it from?

Terpischorean… I’m going to have to use that some day. 😀

Here are some more.

Legerdemain: trickery

Imbroglio: a complicated situation (or, for less formal matters, brouhaha 😛 I love that word)

Pastiche: a work that imitates or is made of pieces of other works

And I found this one very…[Read more]

@GabrielleMassman Welcome! Glad to have you aboard! Ah, another Les Miserables fan who has actually read the book. I like you already! Seriously, I could go on for ages why that book is spectacular… Anyway, I’m Christine, but I go by Christi, I’m fairly active around here, by either writing some content for the website or hanging around the…[Read more]

@gabriellemassman Mmm… yeah. Boy, I love that. I’ve got some basic ideas, but I can’t wait to do an in-depth brainstorming session and let my imagination run wild.

The bestistest thing is just something I came up with once and ever since then it’s been a tradition to greet people that way.

@gabriellemassman
Hi! I’m Dragon Snapper! Nice to meet you! *shakes your hand very hard*
Ooh, I wrote some fantasy. And Tolkien is only ever awesome. (Note to Self: read poem)
You’ve been writing since you were 9! Woah…I only started about three years ago. Did you ever have writer’s block in that time?
Thanks for joining and I look forward…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Good question; sounds like I didn’t make it clear enough. The idea is to share something like a plot outline where you briefly sketch out each of the major five character arc scenes with a couple sentences and explain how you plan on sketching out the big-picture view of your character arc.

@ethryndal Basically what Daeus said. The Experiments in Living should be looking pretty similar to the answers you came up with before; the only difference is that this time they should be a bit more “embodied” so-to-speak in a lifestyle, and a bit less abstract. 🙂

@Gabriellemassman Last time I checked, there were about three INTJs on KP, so you make the fourth. And I like to think Ethryndal is elvish–it’s something I made up one day and became rather attached to. 😉

@Overcomer Definitely. I hope he’s okay.

@daeus I’m gonna head out now. I discovered the focusing questions and five answers for all 5 (I narrowed down a few 😛 ) as well as supported some of them with Bible verses. A lot of bible verses. Thanks!

@Audrey-Caylin We’ve all made that mistake at least once before. 😉

@Gabriellemassman Mae Govannen, fellow INTJ! It does my heart good to see another of my rare personality type. I hope KP will be as much of a blessing to you as it has been to me! I’m going to go read that poem now so I can redeem my name of Tokien Geek…

@Sierra-R Well this is awkward. Here.

Peace offering. 😀

Could you guys pray for my uncle? Something’s wrong … we’re not sure what yet …

@audrey-caylin Close. It’s bestistest.

@Sierra-R If it’s any consolation, I used to be crazy about Kili and Tauriel myself. (Kind of secretly, but still. 😛 ) Even now I don’t despise it with everything in me…I just think it’s a little silly and gets in the way of other relationships (even though I still like some of the scenes). *shrug* But I think no less of you, at any rate. 😉

@sierra I have no idea, but that reminds me of something; I found an online app that you can paste your writing into and it’ll show you words that are passive voice, rather than active, complicated words that have simpler ones of the same meaning, and sentences that are hard and difficult to read (so, two levels) So I did that, and was shocked to…[Read more]

@Ethryndal You’ve probably already lost all vestiges of respect for me by now, but I just wanted you to know I painted that starlight quote and hung it on my wall.

@Ethryndal Ah well, I forgive you. 😉

Maybe they thought it would be needed for the next king or something, but really…

Um, no. No one but Thorin should get the Arkenstone.

But doesn’t the Elven Crush trump all? Come on, she walks on starlight in another world! That’s way more important than even shedding a tear over the Impal…

Ooops, or third, apparently. XD
