Dammit, what's that thing called again? I know it--it's on the tip of my tongue. Argh, my anomia is acting up again.

Words you can keep
This means that you have no sense of smell. If you have anosmia, you can’t smell flowers, perfume or home cooking; this can lead to sufferers becoming intensely depressed. There could be some advantages, like when some diseased arsehole lets go a really poisonous fart you won’t smell it, even though everyone else has tears in their eyes from trying not to puke. Similarly stuck in a boring lecture next to someone whose BO is blistering the paintwork and everyone else thinks that there is a problem at the sewage works you won’t be bothered. By and large, though, anosmia is pretty shitty.
Malcolm must suffer from anosmia, how else does he live with himself.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
