sharie 16 oh yes I was with my best f riend Nelda and was right in the middle of telling hersomething I thought she would really be interested in, and bang. the thought just went out of my head. I felt like such an idiot, uh oh my I forgot what I was going to say. She looked at me like I was a fool, and boy did I feel foolish too. My brain had frozen and I could not for the life of me remember what I was going to tell her.I thought about it on eh way home then woke up in the middle of the night. Oh yes that was what I was going to tell her. But at two in the morning I was not about to wake her up to tell her I remembered what I was going to tell her. lol lol lol lol.

Yes. And I agree, it is always at the worst possible moment. I talked to someone I knew at a family reunion (not a family member) for almost and hour and had a great conversation, but could NOT remember her name!!! I had to ask after she left. That was a unique time when it worked out, but geesh!!! Hate when those things happen. Or you are asked a question you KNOW the answer to and everyone knows you know it, but it just won't come from your brain to your tongue!!! Yikes!!! :-0

ok so im not the greatest at math but i did go to highschool and college but when some one asks me random questions out of nowhere i go completly blank and i can try my hardest but nothing works the i feel like an idiot afterwards. or another time is when im arguing with my boyfriend mostly and im trying to remember all the little things i put on my list to discuss while i arguing i go completly blank and i never remember anything until after the matter so he wins. but most of the time i go blank while trying to impress someone which is absolutly horrible for me...lol

Grhhh, I get them at exams, when I absolutely know that my knowledge much exceeds. Yes, my knowledge exceeds, that's why I get those mental blocs or TOTs ('its on the tip of the tongue' paradoxes). Heh:/ Sometimes it's funny. I put the anger away & laugh. Oh lolxD
