Is there anything more magical than words?
Words can make us cry, words make us laugh. Words express love, hate and scorn. Words can make such a difference in our lives. Words that make us live another’s life through books and blogs 😉 Words that can join and break hearts, words that hurt, words that heal…
And for some mad people like me, words make us addicts – of all sorts of word games. My latest addiction is a word game on my phone.
I must be crazy, but I just cannot seem to stop. I used to be a scrabble-addict, but blogging kind of cured me. Then again blogging is all about words too, isn’t it? So is reading and so is talking, for that matter? Come to think of it, can you even imagine a world without words?
All those magical words to savour? Do you have a favourite word? I keep having favourite phrases. Some phrases that I latch on to, and then end up using a bit too much, driving everybody else crazy. So do you play favorites with words? Do you feel the way I feel about words.
Any Excuse to Write... 
me first! 😀
yes I have favourite words too…and I tend to catch them fast and lose them even faster…
You too 🙂
Sometimes I feel words become a hindrance and we end up saying things we don’t want to..at that time silence is better…
Oh yes! Words can harm and maim as well as heal, after all.
I go thru the favorite phase with some words and phrases too. If I learn a new word, I try to make it my fav for a while and use it whenever I can 😀 Words are magical…and I love my relationship with them! 🙂
Me too 🙂 I love my relationship with them too 🙂
I love words.. but I think I don’t have that much guts to say that boldly… I just love them.. but don’t have the power in expressions I guess.. 😦
I am sure that is not true 🙂 All of us express in our own way 🙂
Umm.. I don’t have favorite words… 🙂
Wanna say in addition, I love your use of words.. I told it in my posts several times I remember 🙂 Is it for ur attraction to the words?
Thank you , you are too kind.
Btw, all we are on blog, feel more or less attraction to the words.. Don’t know how many of them are addicted 😀
🙂 I sure am addicted 🙂
I don’t have favorites but I love twisting them and playing with them. They are so much fun 😀
Words can bring people closer to you or make them run away from you! I too was a scrabble addict and word game in the computer.
I see youngsters using funny words and it spreads like a virus and I notice all of them using that word! Like ‘sooper’, ‘chansye (chanse) ille’etc. and they keep on using these words 2-3 times in a sentence! I enjoy watching them – their carefree world!
You have written this article nicely, Smitha!
Yes, yes, yes…. words and fav words and word games and fav word games, it never stops coming. You too 🙂 Me too 😉
…. in my craziest of moods I write down from memory all the words I have known or can remember and circle my favourites and chide my brain for being a slow learner from the vast universe called the dictionary 😉 😉
Wow! Thatz interesting Pinoo 🙂
Beautiful post Smiths! Seriously, words weave magic, like ur post just did 🙂
I do hv some words which I love to use often sometimes .. sometimes, I like the feeling they convey and at other times, just the ring 🙂
True. I agree with you. Sometimes I wonder how a certain word is so apt for the meaning…whenever I use a word, I think of its meaning and the perfect way the way has been formed to suit its meaning.
Oh yeah! And sometimes I struggle to get the right word. It is right there, in mind, but I can’t catch it 🙂
Words are all we have – the bloggers !!! 🙂
Oh yes 🙂 And how we play with them 🙂
And that’s when the Reverse Dictionary comes in handy 🙂
Aaah! I have never used that 😦
oh i have fav words too… when i catch them i stick to them like glue 😉
🙂 Same here 🙂
MOn, that line of yours rhymed too 😀
Oyi, dont you even dream about fazing out of scrabble now! You’re the only one left in my circle now..HItchy gone, Pals gone, Mon toh I dont think even remembers she has subscribed to Scrabble on FB 😀
I am certainly not giving up scrabble. I used to spend a LOT of time of scrabble earlier – before I started blogging 🙂 Yeah, all our regular scrabble buddies seem to be missing 😦
As for words, yes they are so much a part of our lives..they more or less define us I feel..its by the words we chose to express ourselves that people get an impression about the kind of person we are,right?? Am I even making any sense..and yet I’ve used up so many words 😆
Absolutely 🙂 You make perfect sense.
🙂 Yes,blogging is an enriching experience..
I love the word “Good day”..Don’t know why,but i really mean it when i use it…Also,”Take care” seems to be a word,i cannot stop using..
I have noticed that you use Good day 🙂 It is a nice phrase.
Is this the prose version of Bee Gees and Boyzones song ‘Word’ ??
ya, I do feel about words, when they turn abusive ! I feel angry ! 😀 😀
“Seriously”: however lame it sounds… that’s my favorite word… it goes with teh eye brow raise and the “look”
in any case.. you must try out the game Bananagrams.. we played it this weekend.. its pretty much like Scrabble… I remember Lakshmi had mentioned this same game a while back!
Lovely words you do have, btw 🙂
I never had an affection towards words 😦
I don’t have any affinity…but few new words if used by someone..I will try to grasp the meaning…
