One word to describe you..

What is one word that describes you best, and why?

 

I ask this question of you because it took me some time to come up with one for me, since Weirding (a verb, to make something weird) isn't really a word.

Look at those synonyms....Im definitely knotty, tangled, Byzantine (wow! I need to grow one of those square beard thingies), and my wife would agree that, at times, I can be tortuous (I cant help it if I like to ask questions that people couldn't possibly know the answer to! Be creative and make shit up! Works for me!)

 

So whats YOUR word? (I ask this like people who come here and read this blog actually leave comments...)

 

Benticore (Byzantine Torturer with a Labyrinthine mind and a convoluted vocab...)
