My own private Mercury retrograde

[featherynscale]

If you've actually spoken to me within the last few weeks, you may have noticed that my brain and my tongue are not having as brilliant a working relationship as they normally do. This is to say that I seem to be fully unable to speak without forgetting the word I want to use, screwing up the syllables in the words I do manage to choke out, and generally screwing the pooch on the whole talking thing.
I'm not sure what this is about but it's getting *really* frustrating, and I'd like it to stop now.
I had a dream on Saturday in which I had a discussion with a lovely Russian boy about the inherent difficulty everyone has in communicating, the result of which was that he told me if I'd just sleep with him it would probably help. Unfortunately, in real life I don't know any lovely Russian boys (or, in fact, any Russian boys at all), so I'm thinking that solution is unlikely to come to pass.
In the meantime, all communication from me will be typed, as I can at least use the damned delete key.

I have the same issue, but I tend to blame the internet and I really hope sleeping with lovely russian boys won't be the solution, because hey - that means I'll be unintelligable from here on out. So it's either the internet's fault, or I'm developing dyslexia.

It may not be the answer for everybody...

I hope not, I'd have a hard time losing my language skills, but I'd have a harder time losing my religion for said linguistic prowess.
