post something odd about yourself

Whenever I'm working on a writing project, I tend to walk around-- public, at home, waiting for a meeting, don't matter-- muttering entire blocks of dialog to myself, complete with shifting voices and accents for each character. I've had whole arguments while shopping in the grocery store with "myself"-- only to notice, 1) my voice was a little louder than a mutter, and 2) a lot of people were staring at me.

Awesome - I go the exact same. Sometimes it's just muttering but at home it's essentially me having a conversation with myself to see if the words flow as well as they do on paper (well, screen...). Though I often find myself thinking I'm alone, babbling dialogue only to realise there's someone behind me... or I'm at home with my neighbors listening in regretting moving all the way to Scotland only to find themselves right next door to Shouty McShouterson.

I've done the same with music - not writing it, but choosing it. I always find myself unconsciously walking around singing to myself trying to figure out if the lyrics fit the mood I'm going for.

Or the variation of listening to it on my MP3 player and suddenly falling into character - being grumpy and rude for no particular reason other than I have the same song on loop for an hour.

I'm the only person in my area who has no driving license.

I hook up with blokes who are bad for me. My mum says I do that on purpose.

Beat that, people. :rolleyes:

Hooking up with the bad guys... it seems every woman I've dated has said the same thing. :p

I don't have a license and I never intend to get one. It's a bit odd considering I have to drive for work... my partner used to drive me around as we worked together (or I'd sweet talk my ex into driving us so we could get drunk on the road) and I've taken a lot less gigs when we parted ways. If the shows not local, or they won't pay for a train or a flight... I'm not going.
 
My wife still has one of her baby molars and is pushing 40, though the dentist has said it needs to be replaced with a bridge someday.

If you've read my post in this thread, you'll see that they pushed me to do the same, get a bridge. I haven't and no my teeth haven't leaned in after 30 years of a missing molar. They just like to bill you for stuff like that. :rolleyes:

At the very least, she should think about whether she really wants a bridge. I'd only do it for cosmetic purposes but really no one can tell that I'm missing a tooth.

Well, she was told that since the tooth is dead she could lose it at any moment and then she'll want the bridge just so she can eat without hurting her gums -- nothing to do with appearance I can assure you -- we live in Scotland.
