Ostentatious

I have a fetish for great language. It's odd, I get it. I'm odd, I get that too. I love when people use some of my favorite words. Such as, "ponder", "facetious", and my newest favorite, "ostentatious". Most people don't tend to have favorite words, but I do. The words that I like aren't used often and usually are substituted for smaller, less meaningful words. For example,
"John is being so facetious today." versus, "John is being so funny today." People use the latter of the two. However, when someone does use my favorite word, they instantly have my attention. Complete and undivided.

So why do I like these words so much? It's simple. They describe me. I'm going to go ahead and be upfront with you now about my personality. I ponder. Quick and easy. I overthink. You know how you have those thoughts right before you go to bed and you can't seem to get to sleep? Try having that happen to you every night. Secondly, I like to think of myself as facetious. Humorous and funny. I crack jokes, whether other people find them funny or not, that's their opinion. I humor myself, and that's really all that matters. Lastly, I'm ostentatious. I hate it, and I find it to be a pesky flaw. But when I have money in my pocket? It's money to burn. I want to go, go, go. Shop, shop, shop. I enjoy having nice things and I like it when people notice my nice things. It's not a necessity, I don't sit here shaking because I haven't gotten my "fix", but people noticing the things I've worked for or presents that I have received, it's enjoyable to me.

So yes, I have words that I love. Done and done. What are you favorite words?
