Great News For Possumblog!!

Via famed NASA rocket scientist Steevil, this important news from the BBC: Voices in the head 'are normal'

[...] "Conversely, a person who has had more positive life experiences and formed more healthy beliefs about themselves and other people might develop a more positive view of their voices." [...]

I know this blog wouldn't be half as entertaining without mine!

(Although I joke about this, I don't really hear voices in my head. Do I? No, I didn't think so. Hmm? Probably just eat at my desk, but I haven't decided yet. Mm-hmm, it was okay. Yeah. No, overall I think it's going to be good for her, and she seemed to be very excited about it. Uh-huh. Well, I thought the same thing, but it doesn't look like that will matter so much--WHAT? WHO can see what I'm typing!? QUICK--GET OUT OF HERE!!)

I talk to myself, usually under my breath, sometimes not.

I'll call myself a fool - or something else - if I drop something or drive past the turn-off or miss the train.

Gollum gave talking to oneself a bad name.

My voices just never shut up, and for some reason they only seem to speak Portugese...

Any of you guys know a translator?

I thought that was the Nigerian voices in one's head?

Oh - and my mom always says people who talk to themselves just don't have anyone else interesting around to talk to.
