effulgent

adjective
1. shining forth brilliantly; radiant
.





Every time I hear the word effulgent, I think of this poem by Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

Quote by Spike
My soul is wrapped in harsh repose,
Midnight descends in raven-colored clothes,
But soft... behold!
A sunlight beam
Butting a swath of glimmering gleam.
My heart expands,
'tis grown a bulge in it,
Inspired by your beauty...
Effulgent.


And with that in mind, my word of the day, is laugher:

Laughter is a physical reaction in humans and some other species of primate, consisting typically of rhythmical, often audible contractions of the diaphragm and other parts of the respiratory system.

I do like a good laugh

Hmm, my word, I think is "terror":

terror
noun ter·ror \ˈter-ər, ˈte-rər\
: a very strong feeling of fear

: something that causes very strong feelings of fear : something that is terrifying

: violence that is committed by a person, group, or government in order to frighten people and achieve a political goal


The reason is because I'm going to be watching a prison drama called Wentworth, which is based on Prisoner Cell Block H. The governor, Joan Ferguson is a very scary, abusive woman. The abuse is all psychological, and that terrifies me.

Misconstrue- to interpret wrongly. Interestingly enough everyone does it alot, mainly when they think about themselves as compared to others. I admit I have a misconstrued concept on love and myself. What about everyone else?
