Lethologica

[myletternevercame]

A Dramatization of My Writing Process:

Me: hey thesaurus.com I can’t think of the word I want, it’s like devilish? But not

Thesaurus.com: have you tried Mephistophelian?

Me: WHY would I have tried that

Thesaurus.com: *heavy sigh* idk like you could use ‘wicked’ I GUESS

Me: yes! That’s it, why didn’t you say that to begin with??

Please read, Google hates me

So, I love being light and free, if I were weightless I’d pretty much die. I ;m working on learning all kinds of moves that involve getting lifted/ lifting others, and things of the sort, but I found this one move and I fell in love. The only problem is that I can’t find more examples of it because I don’t know it’s name. Please please please help me out. I’m out of my mind just trying to find something that I may never even get to do, I just want to know it’s name. I found it when the tv show Ridiculousness happened to be on and boy A happened to grabbing boy B’s neck for support, while B grabbed A’s waist. B swung A to both of B’s sides, then A opened his legs to be swung to the middle, then B swung A above B’s head, perfectly balanced for a moment. It was beautiful. In case anyone still doesn’t get what I mean (just like google), the episode was season 3 episode 1 with Pauly D, at about 17 minutes in. Please, I am going absolutely crazy just trying to find this one move, and it’s just really important to me.

Lethologica by @lifeinahole27:  Maybe if they could find the right word to describe their friendship, everything else would fall into place.

He glances at the clock above the television, a housewarming gift from Mary Margaret and David, and watches at it ticks over to midnight. “Happy Friendaversary, Swan.” It’s a silly thing, but he’s always delighted in the passing of another year that they’ve known each other.

“You actually keep track of the day we met?”

“Does that surprise you? It’s March 21. How could I ever forget the day I had to embarrass myself in front of a beautiful woman in order to get toilet paper?”

“You’re such a nerd,” she sighs out. She shifts restlessly for a moment before she speaks again. “Do you think we could’ve done it? Banged one out. Moved on and been bffs forever?”

A smile spreads across his features, slow and steady. “Here’s the thing, Swan. I could already tell when I met you that second time that I would want more, but I was still a little burnt from Tink’s exit and I could tell you had skeletons in your closet that you needed to get over. I think if we would’ve slept together when we met, we wouldn’t be where we are now.”

“How do you know?”

She lifts her head to look at him, so he gets to see her corresponding scoffing smile to the words he says next. “I know how you kiss. I’d have gone after you. I probably would’ve scared you off with an abundance of affection. But being your friend meant more to me, so I couldn’t allow myself to just fuck and run with you.”

“So when it came up again?” she asks, settling her head back on his shoulder.

“When it came up again, I kind of felt like we were lying to ourselves and to each other about our overall intentions at first, but I think it worked out pretty well. I think the biggest difference was the attraction we already felt. Had we been a guy and a girl with no attractions to each other, which isa legitimate thing if you consider my friendship with Belle and yours with David, we would’ve never found ourselves in this situation to begin with.”

He pauses, smiling against her hair as he imagines the way her eyes sparkled at their second meeting, the sun highlighting the color of both eyes and hair as her dimples appeared.

“But you, Emma, you put stars in my eyes that day in the park. I was a goner for you even then, even if we never progressed past friends.”

Lethologica is one of my favorite stories of all time, and if you haven’t read it, I promise that you’re missing out! It’s a beautifully crafted story with ups and downs and all of that friends falling in love stuff that I think I can safely say most everyone is a sucker for. Plus @lifeinahole27 is brilliant and deserves so much praise for her works. ❤️

Ok somebody help me- I've got a case of tip-of-the-tongue, I'm trying to remember a word and cannot think of it or find it from extensive googling... it starts with a "C" and is similar to a cotillion or a debutante ball; it's the word for the event they used to hold for ones' introduction to society. It's different from cotillion though, a similar but different word? I've searched synonyms galore and still can't find it; the trail heads towards dance/balls when I'm looking more for the word that means the time of a person's introduction into society, like was done in the 19th century with/at a ball.

Does anyone have any idea what the word is that I'm trying to remember???

There’s a word for that! (That I’ll totally forget) #lethologica #writing #writingproblems #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx8ZOpuB2lW/?igshid=w194lu26jxx0

In response to the question on whether Lethologica can be a symptom of social anxiety...

Lethologica is a psychological disorder that causes one to temporarily forget key words, phrases, or names. This inhibits an individual’s articulation during conversation. It can be caused by a variety of factors including stress, physical fitness, social interaction and base memory capacity. Therefore, it can be due to social anxiety, among other things. It can be classified as a lifestyle disease which is also affected by individual personality traits.
