unabashedly is my favorite word to ramble.
I don't really know what it means, but it's often said in a british accent and is something along the lines of 'embarraslingly but true'.
I think.

un·a·bashed
adj.
1. Not disconcerted or embarrassed; poised.
Ahaha, I love the dictionary:
Adv. 1. unabashedly - in an unabashed manner;
Isn't that so helpful?? It just clears everything up so superbly!

Crap, I've been using it wrong. Well, it means proudly, which is sort of the word I was replacing it with.
lucky for me none of meh friends know it's meaning.

I automatically love songs that have the word 'asunder' in them (apart freom that Trivium one). Such a classy word.
I also enjoy: 'aplomb', 'cylindrical', 'esoteric' and 'shit'. Pronunciation and aesthetics (best way I could think of how to descrive it) are far better than length.
There are some medical conditions which take two lines to write. F'realz.

I was just so pleased to find at that moment our post count and karma count and join date and gender were all the same. It was amazing to me.
I like the word "amazing", because we're on topic and all.

Existential is one of my favorites, and I am saddened when people use it without actually knowing what they are saying.

Twat.
Thaumaturgic, which basically means magicaly. Thaumaturgidelphia, which is a made up word that I will be getting tattooed on me at some point.
