Cute

[lirion]

You know, all things considered, cute is a description I can live with :) Today I was told it was one of the things that someone considers fundamentally me.

Given some of the recent...misconceptions of my personality, it was lovely to eb reminded that there are those who see that sense of whimsy and quirkiness running through me, and see it as a defining feature, the inner child that's never far away.

Not cutesy, or a reflection on appearance, but the informal sense, mischievous.

I like it :-)

It induces perkiness in my mood, and that can't be a bad thing.

I'm glad you enjoy the description. Lots of people use it on me and I hate it!!! :/

it does depend on how it is meant... In this isntrnace it was well meant, and was complimntary. There are many tiems when it's not... Appearance wise I wouldn't say I'm 'cute', nor am I a 'cutesy' person, and yet there is a certain vein of whimsy and humor running through me, that make the epithet reasonable, without being a put down.

Context is everything. No-one ever means to insult by calling me cute - hell, I use it to describe other people! - but I just can't quite wear that label comfortably...cranky old tart that I am ;p
