So, every so often, I get a random word pop into my head. More often than not, it's a word that I don't know the word-for-word dictionary definition of but I do know how to use it in a sentence.

That kinda breaks my brain a little when I think about it.

Today the word apropos decided to pop up. Two or three days ago the word diaspora reared it unusual head. Did I mention that they are usually uncommon "big-words" that bless my brain?

For some reason these words just repeat themselves over and over until I finally look them up and discover the dictionary definition. I tend to think that this happens to me because after I read so much, there are bound to be words that I can understand in context but don't really know of true meaning and they float around in my subconscious until there's an opening to play peek-a-boo.

I guess it's a good way to learn new words, but my problem is that after I learn a word then I use it. So yeah, I don't know when I'll get the chance to use diaspora but apropos will probably get used at some point in the near future.

How very apropos this blog entry was... NOT.
