...don't mind if I do.

The voice in my head is pretty loud. So loud, in fact, that I'm sometimes left wondering if I've spoken aloud part of my internal dialougue. When this happens, I fall abruptly and guiltily silent. I dart looks around the room, as if by searching the corners I'll make out a vanishing trace of the culprit. I try to assess my vocal chords--do they feel like they've just been used? When I finally admit that I'm at a loss, I'll shrug with feigned uncaring and then pointedly say something out loud, completing what must surely look like the compulsive dance of a total nutjob.
