Stupid adjectives anyway

[mrissa]

I'm not winsome, am I? I got called winsome today, and Mark assured me I'm not, but timprov thinks I might be. You know who's winsome, is people in Louisa May Alcott books. Not even the good ones, either; the ones like Rose and for heaven's sake Amy.

But Timprov says I must be, because people sometimes like me right off the bat.

Then again, the person who applied this adjective to me used one of those complimentary-but-not-really adjectives on porphyrin, or at least on her butt, so maybe I just shouldn't worry about it.

Amy's not "winsome," IMNSHO - winning, as she becomes older and more polished, but she's never frail enough for me to classify her as winsome. Her daughter, on the other hand. . .

(And no, I don't see you as winsome either. Winsome is bunnies and Snow White and tykes who sing endearingly not-quite-on-key.)

The person in question did not seem to find me off-key-tyke-like, thankfully. Or perhaps not thankfully.
