So I am told....(antonym pair poem)

[Maricel Evasco]

Hello everyone and a belated thank you to all who joined my group Play of Words.
I am curious to learn a little bit more about the persons behind the avatars so I created this discussion exercise.

I usually use this particular exercise during the first week of class as an ice breaker. I ask my students to think of 7 to 10 antonym pairs (adverb-adjective) that would best define them.

Here's a poem I created for myself a few minutes ago:

Who am I?

I am....
wickedly angelic
disturbingly sane
hysterically calm
sensually chaste
cynically romantic
blunderingly eloquent
annoyingly pleasant
perfectly imperfect

or so i'm told and I'm completely ok with it!

I'd like to hear or read your antonym combos.

cute personality Debonare based on your word pairs =-)
Welcome aboard.

Which of the 8 pairings above describe you best?
lemme guess: calmly audicious ? lol

[Jake Doga]

Great concept! I've used this "pairing" exercise as part of a creative problem solving method called Synectics, never thought about applying it to oneself. Hmm, lessee ...

improvisationally structured
routinely spontaneous
selfishly accommodative
conventionally nonconforming
subtly direct
creatively analytical
sensually cerebral

I want to learn how to become extravagantly frugal!!! lol
nice poem

- If you love it, REALLY love it- BUY IT if you can, even if it's stretching your budget and you don't have something particular in mind for it right now.

....but what happens when you lust after say a book, a tube of lotion, sandals, etc?

UNDERSTANDING that frugal is not "cheap." Frugal is many things, most simply value- a good value for what you're buying. It's getting a lot of bang for your buck. It's not spending wastefully.

A local convenience shopping mart nearby was closing, prices were marked 60% to 90% off brand name products. I ended up spending over $300 there when I had no plan to buy in the first place. Top quality products. I did get the best for my money. What would you have done?

Simply confusing
rationally insane
lazily determined
tenderly overwhelming
explosive stability
complicated simplicity
tenderly tough
peacefully aggressive
