Who needs friends?

I sometimes have pretend conversations with myself. I don’t plan them. I just say something, then I’d say the next thing that flows on naturally or that I think will prompt an interesting turn in the chat. I guess I end up with the kinds of conversations that two Joan-like people might have.

Anyway, I was doing this while washing the dishes today and I made myself laugh.

Joan 1:

“So, can you tell me a bit about yourself?”

Joan 2:

(‘What a broad question!’) “I come from Australia…”

Joan 1:

(‘She looks Chinese…’) “Have you always come from Australia?”

Joan 2:

“Well, I guess for my first two or three years in Australia, I came from Taiwan.”

    I think people will tell me it’s not normal.

    In a similar way, I tell jokes to myself. I make up something without thinking too far ahead, then sometimes I come up with a really funny punchline. I can crack myself up this way.

    Normal? Maybe not.
