An Endless Search

I have a confession to make, and it will raise me to some of the highest rankings in Nerdism.

I love the perfect word. If you can take an entire phrase and condense it down into a single word, it's perfect. We have all all had those moments where a certain word is at the tip of our tongues, but we can't spit it out, and it drives us nuts. Festering curiosity.
That right there would be every body's personal case of Nerdism.
But I take it to the extreme. My best friend at times is my thesaurus. I have a hard time writing with out one. Once I was stuck on a sentence for 10 minutes trying to think of that perfect word. Ridiculous? Of course. But I enjoy it.
