Just when I thought my life was free of 7’s and P’s, here comes Dan at dcr Blogs, tagging me with the dreaded “7 P Antonyms” meme. The idea is to come up with seven “P” words that describe what you are NOT. (Hence, “antonym.”)
Now, Dan likes to show off his fancy-schmancy vocabulary skillz, so rather than try to outdo him (impossible!) I thought I’d go with something simple.
Here’s my list:*
Pliable. supple enough to bend freely or repeatedly without breaking. I am not supple. I can barely do a downward dog without something snapping.
Piercing. loud, shrill. I am pretty composed. I only get shrill when someone takes the last maple-frosted donut.
Peppy. full of pep. Sad to say, I’m hardly peppy. Never belonged to Pep Club, never took “pep pills” . . . oh, wait . . .
Perfect. being entirely without fault or defect. I’ve got plenty of faults. And defects, tho that’s not a very nice word.
Photogenic. suitable for being photographed, esp. because of visual appeal. Yeah. I don’t have so much of the visual appeal. I always think I look pretty good, until I see the photo, then I realize I really am unsuitable.
Penurious. given to or marked by extreme stinting frugality. “Frugal” is a word you will NEVER associate with me, unless used in a sentence like “JD was extremely frugal when it came to sharing the last maple-frosted donut.”
Plaguey. causing irritation or annoyance. I’d also like to think that an additional definition is “not having the plague.” Either way, I think I apply.

oh no! I haven’t grown the courage to do the 7 P’s meme, now here is another one!
Where do people come up with these things?
Miki: I know!
And I think these are going to be easy “filler” posts, but I always end up making more work of them than is necessary.
MEMES!!!!!!!!
Oh I thought for SURE you would have Prissy, as in you are NOT. Well, even though you didn’t have it, I’m going to act like you did, because you can’t be prissy if I’m going to read you regularly.
I just know you’re not prissy, based on what I have read so far. So it’s settled. IDTSYDHT (I’d Tosy Dat?) is most definitely not prissy. I have to come up with a better acronym for you.
Cardiogirl, I am totally NOT prissy! I wish I’d thought of that (probably a better choice than “penurious,” which sounds like something from Jane Austen.)
Signed I’d Tosy Dat.
I am not ….
Purple.
(heh)
Nice meme. Good choices too – I see more than a passing similarity. No wonder I’ve liked it here.
Hey, thanks for stopping by, Random Yak! I’m glad to know you’re not purple. What else do we have in common?
Good list. Thanks for playing!
dcr: Always a pleasure. Thanks for asking me!
Holy frac. THANK YOU. I can’t beleive how lucky I am to have found your blog. I’m fueling you for sure, because you’ve done this meme so I don’t have to, gone to Vegas so I don’t have to, and had that allergic reaction so I don’t have to.
You’re a genious.
And a Saint.
You need votes, I’ll give ‘em.
I love you.
Oh, my goodness, fracas! I was just perusing your blog (after the latest “Our Blog” entry from fuel my blog and added you to the highly coveted “Blogs I Like” folder in my Bookmarks!
I am very happy to have gone to Vegas and done the meme for you. Can’t say I was thrilled about the allergic reaction, but, hey: This site isn’t called I Do Only Fun Things So You Don’t Have To, is it?
Thanks so much for stopping by and for the kind words and delicious fuel!
Oy, the fuel thing. I’m trying to beat that silly DaddyP in the voting thing. He’s a crafty old bugger and probably even has his llama voting for him.
I’ve added you to the fracas blogroll. Canucklehead too.
Some days you just find gold.
Fracas! You’re so nice. I’ll fuel you right back (that’s Daddy Papersurfer, right? He is a crafty old bugger and must be stopped.
Thanks also for the blogroll addition. And for adding my buddy Canucklehead, who I think is due for fame and fortune.
You should definitely find a better job… actually that was pretty well written
