Talking to yourself

jackI occasionally talk to myself. Generally only a few words in a musing sort of way, but enough to appreciate the possibility. This is when:
(i) I'm feeling exuberent, and unable not to break out declaiming what I'm thinking
(ii) Everything's wrong and I'm crying "Why me, God, why?"
(iii) Or sometimes, just too full of thinking to contain it, and start muttering the next thing on my todo list, as if my head is full of the maximum 7 things, but I can keep an 8th in my mouth
(iv) Or about aubergines.
(v) Or when I'm thinking of writing a story or poem and it gets too real and bursts out.
() Not really in the list, just to say, "Look at the pretty > shape!"
OK, I know which one you're curious about. No, I don't know why aubergenes, it just seems to be the case. I think they're inherently amusing. And often represent me being on schedule and happy and (i), because when I'm overhwlmed I'll have easy food, maybe including frozen quorn pieces for bulk, but when I have time I'll go to tesco's and get something vegetably to fry with onions and spices.
Does anyone else always say 'avocado'[1] when they mean 'aubergine'?
[1] Obligatory mock-the-stupid gack: "This guacamole is icky. I think the guacamoles must have been bad. Why are you looking at me like that? Is it "guacamoli"? ... Avocados?"

pretend I'm being interviewed about my life or opinions
Date: 2006-03-14 06:11 pm (UTC)But not often enough that anyone could form opinions about me :) They probably think it's more sociable but more mad than reading while walking :)
Hands frees are good like that, but mutually need some interface. When someone's only indication that they're not talking to you is (a) a small earpiece and (b) what they're saying doesn't make any sense, little hourglasses appearing in their eyes or something would be really useful, and you could turn them on when you don't want people to interrupt you yourself.
