I think I'm scaring myself

I think I’m scaring myself… My ability to get words right, I think, has gone downhill. I would sometimes forget someone’s name, occasionally forget the name of a thing. This year, I think I’ve been doing that more frequently (but that could just be because this year I started going to a Uni that only one of my friends went to). But more recently, I’ve been getting names and such wrong. Without noticing. Calling Trevor ’Kelvin’, or Chris ’Trevor’, or Matt ’Kelvin’ or other things like that. Having total and absolute memory blanks when it comes to regular words, not even just tip-of-the-tongue phen­om­onon–type forgetting, complete and utter inability to call up the right word…

Further, this year, my ability to distinguish homophones worsened, so I’ll regularly spell ’write’ as <right> or ’they’re’ as <their>. I don’t think I used to do that as much…

While I can attribute it to the drinking the night before, I was incredibly funny yesterday, too

And I had a nightmare which scared me the week before last, at least I know it was a nightmare…
