You know a word I really don't care for? Akimbo. I know what it means and that's all well and good, but it sounds ridiculous. Which may be part of the reason people rarely actually put their hands on their hips. They don't want someone to describe them as being akimbo, as it is so undignified. ;)

I am losing my mind lately. I cannot find like, simple words in there. Last week I was trying to talk about a fundraising thing, and I could not think of the word fundraising! It's getting annoying. I was trying to talk about someone who was not doing something everyone else was doing, because they felt it was wrong, but they weren't being all in your face about it to the people who were doing it. I could only come up with not proselytizing. But I don't think that was the word I was looking for. I feel like the word I am looking for does start with a p, so not being a self-righteous prick is out. It might be pharasaic, but I am not sure. It fits, but I think it's still not the word I was looking for. Help to ease my troubled mind?
