Husband just informed me that he uses words like a scalpel. And that I use words like confetti, throwing out handfuls and letting them fall to the floor, hoping some of them land on their target.

He's cutting and you're effusive? lol

[valis2.livejournal.com]

lol! Apparently so. *grins*

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

So he uses words to cut people open and make them bleed? Dude - this is NOT the hallmark of a good conversationalist.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

lol. I think he meant that he chooses each word with precision and care, which he does. ;)

alternatively: he uses words like a butter knife and you use them like a semiautomatic machine gun?

[valis2.livejournal.com]

lol! Absolutely. I can be very overwhelming, shall we say. *grins*

I much prefer to be showered with confetti than scalpels ;)

DH and I have disagreements over what makes a better writing style - he prefers lots of descriptors (ala Tolkien), while I prefer minimalism (Hemingway).

Welll, I don't know if "confetti" is entirely fair. Maybe more like one of those New Year's party popper things that's filled with streamers and confetti - I mean you can aim those.

OK, so which would you rather be armed with--an epee or a shotgun?
:D

[cordeliadelayne]

Hee! I like those descriptions :D

[gypsyjolie.livejournal.com]

LOVE THIS.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Confetti is so much more pleasant, isn't it? hee!!

[idleleaves.livejournal.com]

LOL, that is so utterly awesome. <3

... Do you mind if I quote that in my own LJ?

[valis2.livejournal.com]

ahaha! You have totally experienced this firsthand, amusingly enough.

*grins*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

hee! Depends on whether it's a zombie invasion or not, I suppose. ;)

It's so fun when Husband points these things out. I never think of this myself, but when someone you've been with for ten years mentions it, it's always worth a thought. ;)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

haha! And well do you understand my confetti conversational style. *grins*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

hee!! Glad you liked!

And yes, go right ahead! *hugs*

[gypsyjolie.livejournal.com]

I want to roll around in it and make sand castles of your metaphors.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

*laughs and laughs*

It would be so awesome if one of the sand castles had, say, a carousel room in it with a ceiling made of toga-clad winged mannequins.

Well, there must be *something* about the confetti approach that he likes... ;-)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Clearly! *grins* Though I'm sure it's a bit maddening sometimes, too.
