People actually have an "inner dialogue"? I always thought that was just a thing that happens in stories so the author can lazily tell you what a character is thinking.

Well, sure. If you have multiple personality disorder, that is.

Inner monologue is perfectly normal.

I do inner monologues when I'm playing chess, since it requires plans that I can't just write down on paper.

I tend to form a sort of semi-coherent monologue where half the time random images and sounds related to what I'm thinking about coalesce in my mind and the other half is mentally talking to myself.

Same here.

On the username thing; The only reason I have my username is because I can't think of anything better than it, even though it's really kinda bad and doesn't really fit me anymore. thatandidon'twannabotherthetoad

Also, actual thread related thing;

I'm happy today; my cold's finally going away, and I also discovered that stores are selling 12 packs of canned Mtn Dew Voltage. Delicious, delicious dew. 

[Arcvasti]

Yeah, I definitely have internal dialogues. _{Mainly me admonishing my libido}

I've always understood written thought processes in books because that's literally how my brain thinks of things, as though I'm a character in a book. I sometimes even picture the words I'm thinking of as literal words on a page.

^This. I probably read too much. I'm also the only person I know who's ever actually read words in a dream. True, it was instructions printed on the underbelly of a kitten and it was mostly random, but it was words.

A bowl of mashed potatoes with about 5 ounces of melted extra sharp cheddar. Food is a running theme in happies for Bauglir.

Ooh. Mashed potatoes, you say? Something I've been doing recently is cooking this spicy teriyaki beef noodle stuff,* mixing it with a pack of ramen to diffuse the spicy, then shoving mashed potatoes in it until it's this just-barely-this-side-of-thick soup thing, then adding cheese and cinnamon. Feeds me for like two days, and is this amazing pseudo-sweet gruel thing. Entirely too good for something that should ostensibly taste horrible.

Also chinman! Hello here, too, chinman!

*Nissan chow mien, to be precise -- folks have been picking it up for me when they're out, and they've been consistently getting the wrong kind, so I've been getting creative trying to de-kick the spicy version.

Oh hey, I guess I tend to sub-vocalize too. I also tend to uh, mentally vocalize my thoughts sometimes as well, though it sometimes seems as though I'm hurriedly speaking, though everything is still clearly understood.

[Graknorke]

I sing along to things sub-vocally sometimes. All of the benefits of following a tune with none of the downsides of making everyone around want you dead.

[Aqizzar]

Also chinman! Hello here, too, chinman!

I ventured out into the wilderness to discover myself.  Instead I discovered that the wilderness sucks and nobody should venture there.

Good to be back.

*Nissan chow mien, to be precise

I am now picturing baked noodles sponsored by an auto company.

[Furtuka]

Hey Aqizzar! Long time no see. Good to have you back dude.

[Descan]

Yeah, I definitely have internal dialogues. _{Mainly me admonishing my libido}

Ahem.

Hello~

wait shit you're 15 abort abort

[Bauglir]

Always nice to know sub-vocalizing isn't something nobody else in the world does.  I do that kind of thing all the time just because I find my thoughts a lot easier to streamline by slowing them down to the speed of talking.

Aye, this happens a lot, too. Especially when trying to think through a difficult problem. Keeps me from jumping around too much. Also, hopy shit, you're not dead! Congratulations, where've you been? Ah, the wilderness. I assume it now lies broken in your wake.

-snip-

This sounds like madness. I'll have to give it a try sometime. Even weirder than the pasta sauce I threw together today composed chiefly of braunschweiger and mustard.

Things are happening on Bay12.  Janet and Aqizzar both making returns on the same day.

[Flying Dice]

Oh hey, WB Aqizzar. Or should I say Aquizzar? 

[Frumple]

^This. I probably read too much. I'm also the only person I know who's ever actually read words in a dream.

No, no. Make that at least two.

Though I've just straight up read from like books before. And computer screens. There was this one terrible dream I spent mostly browsing fanfiction.net and there were the most amazing stories on that damned thing and then I woke up. I'm pretty sure I actually literally cried a little when I checked and they weren't there. Dreambrain's invented whole texts whole cloth for me, though, or at least bits of 'em. Cover, binding, and everything.

... and yeah, I guess it's nissin? Bah, it's all the same vowel to me.

And yeah, throw another person in the "Talks to themselves in their head pile". It's usually either words, music, or silence. I don't actually seem to do abstract ideas much, at least that I notice. Imagery barely happens at all if I'm not outright dreaming, though that seems more like an artifact of the visual snow than anything.

Next, Scamps is going to post, and the world will end.

Also, hi, Aquizzar, who I vaguely remember but am unfamiliar with.
