Im not sure if its just me or everyone?? It seems weird but I can honestly say I have never had a conversation about what it's like when you read or think, or overheard one.

When I read I dont just let my eyes scan the page computing all the characters for my brain to decode into information. When I think I dont choose a dilemma, input it into my conscious and wait for an answer.

When I read its as if im reading aloud, except im not. My brain has a silent version of me reading aloud to me its in my accent and everything. Its the same when I think something through, its as if im having a dialogue in my head with me explaining to myself all the pros and cons of the situation.

All the words I think in are English, so if a word doesnt exist it doesnt usually get thought, I do have other more compulsive thoughts that aren't in any language for instance if I wanted a shit or piss, or wanted to raise my pocket aces or even if I wanted to punch someone. In those cases the thoughts would be automatic, I think this might down to the reptilian part of my brain im not sure. But when I ponder or read its always in English and with my own by now boring fucking accent.

Sometimes I get on my nerves to be honest, so I just wondered if its the same way with everyone else?

Nurse!!!!

    Well I can't help the way you read or think, but I love the way you write. You should do it more. I concur, you do need a nurse.

    So true, when I read, I can hear myself. This is normal, right?

    Sometimes I think I hear myself... but then other times when I'm reading a book and the charachter is speaking, or thinking.... I feel as though I can actually hear that person talk, in their own voice, with their own little accent. I'm reading a book right now by Dean Koontz, and when I think of the main girl charachter, she talks like Wanda Sikes. Yeah... really loud, obnoxious, but funny as hell.

    Is it more soothing than Morgan Freeman?

    Its funny, I have actually had this conversation with someone before... so if you need a nurse, I think we all may.


    But I too, read as if I am reading it allowed in my head, and always thought it was the actress in me grasping for roles. LOL It takes me forever to read a book, because I even include dramatic pauses. I know... odd to say the least. But when I think, I converse with myself in my head... and when I cook, sometimes I talk to myself in my head what needs to be added next, etc.... I even sometimes accidentally say it out loud and get called on it. I always say, when I talk to myself it is one of the few times I actually get an intelligent conversation.

    Loved the blog... and love your writing. (make note, I read your blog in my idea of how I think your sexy accent sounds like... hope I did it justice.)

    Speaking of that, not his sexy voice but all LP members voices. How many of you have a voice(in your head)to go along with an LP member? Is it different from when you've actually heard them in person, on the phone or a voice thread?
