Reverse Dictionary search

I was (and still am) trying to look up a word to represent living life to its fullest, or in other words, the opposite of living life vicariously. It's for the blogs new name- "Easy as Pie" is completely irrelevant, because nothing is easy, and I do not make multiple references to pie. I was thinking something that had to do with word play, and this is a beginning.

These are the words that came up when I typed "living life to its fullest" into OneLooks reverse dictionary page. (http://www.onelook.com/reverse-dictionary.shtml)

1. vital 2. lively 3. animate
4. alive 5. vivacious 6. living

They grow increasingly more random as you head to the bottom, but what a wonderful set of words.

I'd like to do a project where I write a short essay about a key word every day for a year. that'd be interesting. Maybe I should do that. Maybe I should start a blog for that. hmmm...
