You know how it feels when a word is on the tip of your tongue, but you
can’t quite think of it? The frustration and irritation of the situation
is so… ugh, I can’t think of the word! [I know, I’m so witty.] But
seriously, we all know how it feels to reach for a word that is just out
of our mind’s grasp. Personally, it makes me extremely peevish. Call me
Goldilocks, but second best simply won’t do; that elusive word would
have been just right.

Sometimes though, when we least expect it, the word will come barreling
full speed into our brains like a little kid through the front door on a
summer’s evening. It just pops into our minds, even though we had given
up seeking it hours (or days) ago. It happens most often when I’m
asleep: all of a sudden, I’m awake, sitting bolt upright in bed, mouth
half-open, more pleased than I should be to have remembered the word.
What a great feeling.

LoL...You know what's even worse JFB when you're trying to explain
something and this comes up OR say something like "When I come across
that I'll send it to you" then a few days or weeks later you come
accross that email or CD or answer AND YOU CAN'T remember WHO you were
talking to...

I hate when that happenes...

OK! Goldilocks.

wuts next?

lol! i know what ya mean. I do that alot.. one minute the word is there
and then poof.... gone!

sluggo... that must be why i constantly am sticking my tongue out! I'm
looking for the word thats lost on the tip of it..LOL

LoL....Maybe those words wouldn't keep slipping off your tounge if you
kept it inside your mouth

O.K

LMAO........i'll have to remember that

that happens to me all the time with song titles .i listen to alot of
music and usually im right on but sometimes ill get asked about a
certain artist or song and i wont for the life of me remember what it is
drives me bonkers lol.

A light bulb exploded in my head: finally! My ethos on attraction, put
to written word (albeit a made-up one):

sapiosexual (seɪ-pi-oʊ-sɛk-ʃuəl), noun

1. A person attracted to or aroused by intelligence and its use.

[Latin sapiens, wise or intelligent + sexualis, relating to the sexes]

Oh yeah. Uhuh. That fits me to a T. I love a man with a brain. [My heart
is actually speeding up as I write this.] In fact, I love a man who uses
words that put the SAT’s to shame and who talks about things that I
don’t understand. Because he’s going to engage me. He’s going to keep me
interested. He’s going to show me new worlds. He will help me grow and
learn. And I will do the same for him.
