on sanity

I talk to myself fairly often; maybe this is a function of having, historically speaking, spent a lot of time alone, but I'm inclined to think that everyone does it and some just don't admit it. Sometimes I practice conversations that I know will be difficult. Does this make me socially awkward? Maybe. Sometime I practice conversations that I'm not sure will actually happen.

At any rate, I was talking to myself while on the way to the library this afternoon. I noticed someone giving me a strange look, which was when I realized that my lips were actually moving. This by itself is fine; however, having observed that I was talking to myself, I then proceeded to have a conversation with myself regarding the fact that I was talking to myself and that I don't think it's that odd. I then realized that I would probably tell someone about this, and then proceeded to have my half of that conversation with myself. At this point I observed that this was getting excessively meta, and that I was at the library.

I then got lost briefly in the bookstacks.

I'm not sure what this says about the status of my mind, but you are free to draw your own conclusions.
