Do you often have public conversations with yourself? If so, do you have two different internal voices to represent opposing sides in the discussion? Do your opposing sides have differing names (a la Gollum and Smeagol)?

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

So, do you have an answer for yourself?

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Anyone read Carpe Jugulum? Ben must be arguing with his Perdita.

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

On second thought, the usual Ben is Perdita. This thread was started by the inner, very inner, Agnes.

Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :

public conversations? no. audible conversations with myself? yes.

it's weird.

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

Well...isn't posting in a thread to yourself on hatrack kind of public? And moreover, what about the other questions? Internal voices with different names?

Hi Ben, you're a cool guy, you aren't a jerk.

END OF LINE.

Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :

Yea Mark! You tell that ben!

Posted by Alucard... (Member # 4924) on :

Ben,

I have to confess. I generally edit nearly "all" of my posts because I am too lazy to check them before I reply, and simply wait until then to edit. [Smile]

Rawk on my brudda.

Can you say "onanism" ?

Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :

and how!

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

Thing is with audible conversations w/ yourself, is do you answer the questions you ask?

I do because it's the only way I'll get the answers I want to hear.

Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :

sometimes...

and actually mostly i'm berating ben when i'm talking to him.

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

In the really heated arguments do you kick your own arse? Or does Ophelia have to do that for you?

Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :

it depends on whether she is concentrating.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

I've never known of a Ben that wasn't a jerk, at least in his personal life. Ben Franklin, Ben Affleck, and Hatrack's own Ben of the Gluteal fixation.

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

Makes me glad I'm not Ben. I'm just an a-hole.

Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :

a-holes of the world unite and take over...
