Haven't done one of these Writer's Block things before, but this one caught my interest (me being more than just a bit of a word nerd...) Two of my favourite words are 'flummoxed' and 'gobsmacked', not just because they sound cool, but because they effectively convey that unique sense of bewilderment and surprise that I often feel in my daily interactions with other people.

Many's the time I have longed to quote Blackadder at someone - "I am anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulations."

'Gormless' is another word I love - mostly because of the images it conjures of a guy wearing a completely dopey expression; though somehow I'm never able to imagine a girl looking gormless...
