Bah, I'm being attacked! "Lost in the moment" is what I meant to say. That's it, I'm never using the internet again!  Usually when I omit a word it is because I was retyping that sentence in multiple ways in order to find the one that best suits the feeling I'm trying to convey.  And I end up screwing it up anyways. For instance: in that case, I started with "I was ranting a bit there for a moment." That sounded dumb. So I changed it to "Sorry, was lost in thought for a moment." Then, figured that was also idiotic, because that would insinuate a lack of thought in the rest of the post (which is not that far from the truth, but I'll keep that a secret).  Finally I settled on "Sorry, I got lost in the moment," though I think I was still considering changing it again, but decided I spent enough time on it, and ended up with a horribly slaughtered sentence XD
