I love that word! It suits me so well: sometimes smart, often stupid (moronic)! ^_~
My Sunday school class yesterday was pretty interesting, and we had lots of discussions about what makes a community (I brought up the example of the "blogging community," of course), the phrase "resistance is futile," and good stewardship.
During the part about good stewardship I mentioned how I felt kind of bad for being such a spendthrift, buying auto'd hockey photos, anime soundtracks, etc. etc. Then someone brought up the idea that sometimes obsessing over how you're spending your money might be even worse than spending carelessly (or, at least, that's the way I interpreted his comment). That made me stop and think.
At any rate, at the end of the class, some of my friends asked me if I wanted to go to lunch with them. I did, but I had to go home and change first (I had a softball game to attend a bit later), and I had been planning on stopping by my local comic retailer to preorder the Joe Sakic figure from McFarlane's Sports Picks NHL Series 3. Then another friend, who had heard the exchange was like, "don't you remember what you were just talking about?" =Þ Boy did I feel silly--in a good way.
As I was going to preorder my Sakic figure, I had a pretty good laugh about how ridiculous I can be sometimes, talking about spending more wisely in one breath and then planning on buying another figure I don't have space for in the next! It was kind of...hypocritical, I guess, but I don't like that word. The negative connotations are too strong for what I mean. I wonder if there's a word that carries more of the "do as I say, not as I do" kind of attitude without the idea of "false virtue or religion." A word that carries more of a lighthearted, silly meaning, and acknowledges the fact that the person realizes how absurd the disparity between his/her own words and actions are...
