My memory used to be scary good, and everything was kept in my head. Now that my brain's foggier, I've never developed the organizational skills to cope with not remembering everything.
Sue is me.
I spent the other day in class trying to remember To Kill a Mockingbird. It was like something out of a game show: Gregory Peck in a movie. Harper Lee. The South. Atticus Finch. Couldn't remember the title.
I can't remember words for shit. And now things are worse because I have too much to remember.
Announcement: I am officially on vacation.
Analysis:
screw it. I'm too filled with Squee to analyze jack.

You don't need to analyze Jack. Just mix it with Coke.
I lose words in the middle of conversations a lot. My dad does as well. It's very annoying, I'm sure.
I am officially on vacation.
Woot!
Very good point.
Except for the part where I have to be on my way to San Jose at 6:30 tomorrow morning, so jack will have to wait until tomorrow.
Cass, you have Jack, or Jose, or something, right?
Kat, you definitely have well-known extenuating circs. Pregnancy is weird. One friend felt infinitely sharper (despite being on bedrest- her boss was blown away by some of the things she came up with from her hospital bed) and another (with a textbook boring preg) would stop mid sentence and screetch because she'd lost a word. I know it is all hormones, but it is freaky. I feel significantly stupider (not to mention crankier) when I'm oding on them.
WHOSE PLAN WAS THAT. Is dumb.
no. I've been losing words for years, actually. It got much worse recently a few months ago, then seems to have gotten a bit better.
But the words are still MIA sometimes.
I have to confess, I lose words all the time. Online, I can fake it. Talking to the parents? I handwave over the phone. Makes me feel smrt.
This is why I call people Monkey and Noodle, names just escape a great deal of the time. Also why I actually say stuff like, "the thing with the thing and the thing", on a regular basis.

I do too. I usually find them again, but sometimes not.
