giddy [gid-ee] adjective, giddier, giddiest.
1. affected with vertigo; dizzy. 2. attended with or causing dizziness: a giddy climb. 3. frivolous and lighthearted; impulsive; flighty: a giddy young person. verb (used with object), verb (used without object), giddied, giddying. 4. to make or become giddy. I love to look up the meaning of words. Frequently it's an interesting lesson and doesn't really mean what I intended. I've been saying that I feel giddy lately... meaning more "elated" as it was used in the 1540's... interesting. Jubilant is a great word as well... overjoyed or ecstatic. I guess giddy seems more childlike in an innocent sweet way rather than "frivolous." I think the giddy feelings started when I was visiting Colorado... I was in a serious mid life crisis funk when I first arrived then after listening to some conversations with god and letting go of my funkiness I fell into a bit of giddiness... Like knowing a secret that no one else is aware of... that is right in front of them constantly. It's funny not tragic because life itself is just basically here for us to play around and discover ourselves. That everyone, nearly, takes everything so damn serious I find excessively amusing.
