Favorite things to do with words : tell funny stories, cuss loudly, write a limerick, tell a secret, express anger (or joy or sadness...), make a manly man feel intellectually inferior, sing songs....
Can you imagine the level of frustration you would feel if you had a fully functioning brain, but couldn't express yourself using language. I wanted to see this movie The Diving Bell and Butterfly, it is a French film about this fancy magazine executive guy who has a stroke and is left with no functional means of communication. The only thing he has left is ONE of his eyes... he writes an entire book using code to blink words and letters... an entire book's worth of blinks. Fascinating. Sorry I missed it during it's brief stay at the theater.
Plus, I love love love listening to people speak French (and Italian for that matter). It sounds like buttery sweet sex rolling off the tongue. Mmmmm.
