I have the worst short term memory ever, I actually have to dumb down my sentences because vocabulary I want to use doesn't immediately come to me, so I look like an idiot trying to think of the word "Xiphoid Process".

that usually happens in cases in which the subject is ultra sexxxy

or burnt da fuck out.
:D

oh wait matt has a boyfriend

You just said "Burnt da fuck out"
did you snap and do the head swivel, too?



Yeah, my new boy and I were talking about body parts, and he was in my arms, so I poked at the bottom of his Xiphoid Process and said "this is the uh....uhm, uh.....uh! UHHHHH, yeah, it's the uhm, uh" so he laughed at me, and it's happened pretty much every day for the last 4 weeks, until today.
I just called him and said "It's the xiphoid process".
He wasn't that enthusiastic, i mean, how enthusiastic could you be if someone said something like that? so he said "oh....cool"

I have that problem, except I think it's more of a long-term memory thing. Sometimes I can almost see the shape of the word in my head, but I can't quite pull it out - and I'm reluctant to use another word since they never mean quite the same thing, so I end up sat there for ages thinking 'hmmm...'

yeah, i kind of do that, too. i can always remember the meaning and context of something, but i have the worst time with names and terminology...though if i read them somewhere, say on an exam, i'll recognize them immediately.

sometimes i end up talking like some professor on PBS, with all these weird pseudo-intellectual pauses.


i have no idea what can be done for this problem. sometimes, if i've drank enough caffeine or the weather's really nice or something, i have almost perfect recall. othertimes, :erm



the other day i drove through a stoplight because i was trying to think of a word :o

i've been trying to think of the guy's name who runs the "godhatesfags.com" but i'm too lazy to google.

phelps, duh

Thing is, I'm pretty bad at defining words because they always have these very specific meanings and implications, and it's easier to use the actual word to capture that - so it ends up with me trying to think of the word because I wouldn't be able to say exactly what I'm trying to say otherwise. I really like when people are able to just talk, and reel off rapid-fire phrases without seeming like they're compromising. Thing is I never used to have this problem, and I have a very good memory for certain things, so I don't really know what's going on. It's annoying when it happens though.

And be careful of those stop lights - imagine if you were in New York! There'd be a few people giving you a piecce of their mind. I almost drove through a stop light a month or so ago, this van was actually blocking my view of it and I didn't realize it was stopped. I slammed on the brakes but I still overshot by a few feet. I'd have been alright anyway, but it probably looked pretty stupid - I think I was concentrating on what I was listening to at the time :o
