Does anyone ever do this besides me???
Sometimes when Im doing or watching something, I start thinking these thoughts about it or related to it. But Im really not paying attention to what im thinking. I feel like Im not explaining this good. Ok, heres an example. The other day I was watching MTV Cribs. I was comparing the prices and luxuries of each star's home to the star before it, trying to see which I liked best. (Plus I plan to be a singer when I get around to voice lessons, so I was looking at how I might want my house, even though I plan to be singing be4 this.) Anyways, I was watching, when I started thinking about the things I would Like to put in my current house and how much bigger I would make it, though I didnt realize it at the time. And next thing I knew, I was having a convo with myself! The first things I remember myself saying were, "I would probably put that in that room." Then as if answering, "Nah, not in there." Also sometimes when I get absorbed in something I cant see or hear anything. You? As an example of the "i cant see or hear anything else," one time I was at the movies. My best friend's cousin kept tapping my arm, but I didnt feel it. Then he started waving the box of candy he was trying to offer me in my face, and I still didnt see it. I didnt realize what he was doing till he smacked me with it.

- I was totally spacing out while reading what you wrote. I guess that means I do it.
- Yes, it does happen to me sometimes
- its only you.
- hmmm...maybe ADD? like you just can' t pay attention? i've never done that though...
- lol yea i do that all the time...sometimes i imagine myself having a conversation with someone else (about watever is going on) and i say my side of the conversation
- uh...no. 1) It sounds like you get intensely focused on what you're watching, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just make sure not to buy a car with a dvd player in it... 2) "I plan to be a singer when I get around to voice lessons"???? Thats the funniest sentence I've read in a long time. Don't set your heart on celebrity status. There are millions who want the same thing and logically, at least half of them are better than you are. It takes a lot to get there...so always have a backup plan. There's much more to life anyway. Good luck!
- You ramble.
- Yeah, I totally do that too! I thought I was just strange when I found myself immersed in a conversation I was having with myself! But who knew, I'm not alone. I was at work once, kinda slacking off, by researching apartments that I could rent, and I was trying to find my preference of amentities in the apartment and found myself thinking: "Oh, they don't have a washing unit in the actual apartment. But come on, they have to have one on the actual complex!? Hmm, maybe these are just cheap apartments, I mean the rent is only about 400 bucks...but maybe, I'll find a laundromat somewhere...yet, how would I be able to locate one...oh, I don't know!" So when I realized this, I looked around to see if anyone caught me mumbling to myself, because sometimes when I'm having convo's with myself, I tend to say a word or two out loud, which is really embarassing!
