In a way...OMG! JJ's comment has me laughing!!!<br /><br />In a way, I am a little disappointed that talking to one's self is considered normal. I talk to myself frequently, and I so wanted it to be a sign of brilliant eccentricity, and vast creativity!<br /><br />This is a wonderful post, Akseli, and I will remember it for a long time!!Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551487014503653423.post-84033266351158852352011-06-03T01:32:11.180+01:002011-06-03T01:32:11.180+01:00Excellent post, Akseli.

I think if more of us were honest about the continuously running dialogue in our heads, it would be discovered we all have delusions of grandeur.<br />In fact, I'm the best driver on the road...

I suppose so, as a school teacher I should know well enough that some people are dead to irony even when spoken to them with a wry smile and preposterous tone. In the written form I'm sure some people are bound to take the story literally...Tom Hakkinenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320029007805632871noreply@blogger.com
