Ah, but can you get them all in the one sentence?

Darragh said...

And how many will you use to describe yourself?

Uncle Dick Madeley said...

Not bad but I think you're missing 'cabal', 'iridescent' and 'flagellum'.

Darren said...

Blithe - excellent.

I plan on making 'riven' an all season word, not just for Christmas.

Andrew said...

B - heh. oddly, that did occur to me once I used gosling. Don't think I liked that film, reminded me too much of me. Minus the crack addiction and charsima.

Catherine - Ummm...I'll work on it.

Annie - Do tell Pablo I say hi.

Darragh - One, maybe. Directly after a shower.

Dick - Excellent words there. Though the one I really felt I was missing as soon as I'd published this was 'malleable'.

Daz - Yeah, that's a good one too. And reminds me that I'm quite a fan of 'craven'.

i think i'm gonna go with the words 'inevitable', 'ubiquitous' and perhaps i'll go mad and throw in the odd 'inevitably ubiquitous'
