If you want to go around with a bat lodged in your skull, that's your business.
Don't be surprised, however, if people stop and stare at the oddness of "the
one."

I'm always talking to myself, not out loud mind you, but as an inner dialogue.
Only there is no "other" around to hear what I say. Just me talking and 
hearing myself, simultaneously. Very strange. Who is this person that I find 
difficult to shut up? Why do I have to go into some kind of weird trance to stop
this big mouth from constantly bending my ear? Please advise.
