I was talking to Keri online just now, and for the LIFE of me I couldn't figure out how to spell "adamant". I hate it when I have those days. I spelled "put" wrong in 2nd grade because my brain was off somewhere else during our spelling quiz. My teacher thought I was an idiot

In fourth grade during a test I completely blanked on the past tense of the word "think". I sat and sat and could not remember it.. so I wrote "thinked" on the test and got a big fat red mark from the teacher.

I CRIED.

By the way, my year 9 English teacher, world's biggest dag ever, made a list of everyone's most common spelling mistakes on the board one week and decided to teach us nifty ways of remembering them. One day, he came in with a lifesize cardboard cut-out of Adam Ant with a speech bubble going, I'm Adam Ant and I'm ADAMANT! Oh god, it's burned into my brain for life. It wasn't even my word...my one word (I was kind of a spelling brat) was occasion which I still sometimes fuck up and try and put two S's in :P

which I still sometimes fuck up and try and put two S's in :P

DITTO OMG.

I remember one time in "creative writing" time in year 1 I was writing a story, and I suddenly forgot how to spell "all". I just sat there at my little table silently doing nothing for the rest of the hour because I was too proud to ask and I couldn't keep writing without it.

CRYING. Awwwwww!!!

By the way, I misread that as year 11 at first and WTF.

If I didn't know a word, I guessed it :P Which is how my story about us having heaps of fun in Ricket's Pants became total folklore for YEARS.

That misreading reminds me of this time I was talking to someone on IM about visiting a friend. Then the subject changed and I somehow ended up telling the story of how when I was about three years old, I fell in the toilet. My friend misread it as "there" and thought it had happened recently.
