I'm beginning to like you
But, you know that ain't right
'Cause you'll just twist and twist and twist
Till I'm all crooked inside

You'll take all you gave me
Like it never was there
And I think that I might, no, I know
Yes, I will help you there

'Cause, I've done it before and I'd do it again
'Cause it's the only time
That makes me feel like I'm
My own best friend

I'm a victim of friction, I got too close to see
Yeah, we sparked in the dark and God hung a light on me
The lamp gets real heavy, it hangs from my heart
And it comes and it goes till I can't tell the difference apart

But I've done it before and I'd do it again
'Cause it's the only time
That makes me feel like I'm
My own best friend

So many people say, it will never work out that way
You can't stand the heat
While you're watching your heart
Just melt away in the basement on a rainy day

There's motel in Shreveport
Don't ask me where, please
They check in, they check out
By the light of the color T.V.s

The maid calls you honey
She makes your bed slow
And she speaks, of the sheets that don't fit
But you know that she knows

I've done it before and I'd do it again
'Cause it's the only time
That makes me feel like I'm
My own best friend, my own best friend
My own best friend, my own best friend

fatdaddycool is that you ?
Oh look, another unsolicited attack on me by the Internet tough guy, what a surprise. But you're the good guy trying to prevent bullying and all that right?


Last time I'll ask nice kod. Keep your jejune comments to yourself.

I do it all the time, but I usually do it silently in my head. I do have one exception though, I tend to say fuck out loud if I don't get my way on something.

Sometimes I'll talk to myself (out loud, but not real loud) if I'm trying to sort through a problem solving activity.

Also do this all the time silently & say fuck out loud. If my wife hears me she will ask whats wrong & it's usually something I forgot or have to do.

I assume everybody does whether they admit it or not.

Do you have conversations with yourself?

Do you ask yourself questions?

Do you use I and me or we and us and our, or a combination of all?

Here's an example of one I had a few minutes before posting this thread. I was on the deck.

"Oh shit I have to leave here at 10:15 for my haircut." Maybe I'll leave early and grab a bite to eat or maybe we should wait until I get back and just make a salad"

"Let's go check the forum for a few more minutes and then hit the road." maybe check the games for tonight to see what I'm gonna bet." "Fuck we have to go to the bank too, I guess we better leave about 10 after."


Am I nuts? :0002

Is this normal?

If you talk to yourself at the urinal, you're asking for trouble Jack.

All living things do talk to oneself before taking any decision to do anything. Even plants do as they take decision in the direction of the growth of both stem and root. This is fundamental and normal.
