I have blogged before that a friend got me H-O-O-K-E-D on the Facebook Zynga Game Words with Friends. And it's been a good thing and a bad thing.....good because this newest and wordiest of obsessions has helped me from somewhere pull really great and otherwise long since forgotten words back into my vocabulary. On the other hand, when I look at some of the words I have recalled I wonder if it is possible that I might need therapy. Today, when I cleverly built hags onto my previously inserted czars and note both tzar and czar are accepted spellings of this strong scoring word....(how does my mind jump like that), I just had to wonder where do these words come from?
I have known for awhile that I have lots of words floating aimlessly around in my head......lots of words....did I mention LOTS of words? Blogging has helped me exercise some of those suckers, as has Words With Friends. Oh, and look, as tonight I play T-E-A-R-S and M-A-T-H, my friend offers up H-E-A-T and T-O-U-C-H. Guess her night is going a little better than mine....I am wondering if B-I-T---- will play. (Just J-O-K-I-N-G, of course.) And anyway, I can't bring myself to play that word, no matter how sometimes I would want to. I know SH-- will play. Although there have been a few days lately when that was the most perfect and fitting word for my mood, I haven't been able to bring myself to play that one either. After all, even a WWFer (now that doesn't sound quite right) has a certain....je ne sais quois.... to uphold.
So, my friend plays P-O-L-E-S; I play H-A-I-R-Y. Maybe I am getting into the swing of things after all. She plays S-L-U-T-S; I play G-N-O-M-E-S. I know, I know. I got nothing.....
I am truly hooked. I can't go to sleep some nights until I check to see if my words with friends friend has played. Her entries tease me, begging for words in response. I can't wait for the litte crossword boxes to populate with their for me tantalizing teasers. I can't leave her hanging; I just have to have that one more play before bed. And there it is...she did it....oh no she didn't(as Kate says 'diunt' totally minus that second 'd') she posts S-E-X-Y....That's it. I'm done. I sigh. I post the sad but true S-L-E-E-P-Y and close my computer.
