FAVORITE WORDS

 

NOTE:

I am sure that this list is not THE list of my favorite words, and they are not words that I use when writing or speaking.

 But they are the words that were swimming in my neurons (I almost wrote swimming in my neurotic synapses).

I know, I’m asking the same question:

Do thoughts swim?

And in neurons?

Yes, these thoughts might have come from my neurotic synapses after all!
