Vocabulary Words 2-22-12: What did you do instead of watching the oscars?

Unfortunately, I had a migraine on the plane and my face was pallid as can be. I felt that it took extreme temerity to make it through the flight without crying or becoming querulous, especially when my sisters thought that I was lying and repeatedly said pejorative things.
