I Hear Voices

Sometimes madness isn't that howling at the moon thing.   Often it's the quiet voice at the end of a bad day that says "Hey, got room for one more in your head."

Or maybe not.

I used to keep track of the voices....not anymore.   Actually got to thinking about the various facets of a personality and came to this conclusion, well conclusion is probably too strong a word.  

We all have different moods, different modes, different mind-sets for different situations.   I just started naming mine and giving them personalities.

Ok, so....I'm nuts....your point?

I call them "The Committee" and it's their job to run my life.  The pay is lousy, but the hours are horrible so it evens out.

I'm trying to figure out just how to introduce them.  It's not easy you know, some are very shy......

An easy one to explain is that voice that you always hear about 10 minutes after a quick response or witty reparte is called for.   You the one that pipes up "If I had said XXXXX, that would have shown them."   The voice that will make you slap your forehead and say "Darn, I should have told her this."     I gave this voice to Ethyl Hydrochloric, a large woman with a sharp tongue and ready wit, well an almost ready wit.   I picture Ethyl wearing  coveralls (sequined),  5 inch spiked combat boots in a mauve.   Her hair is always slightly mussed up because she's always running late.   Oh, and a voice, sigh a voice like 3 tons of gravel in a 2 ton mixer!   Get the picture?   You do!   Wow, must be time for your meds.

Seeing as how it's almost my bed time and need to walk the dog, will end this now......I think I'll add a voice or two every entry from now on.......you'll get to meet Igor, the Postman, the Professor, the Twins (Brunhilde & Mitsuko), Humbert, and of course The Mime.

Have a great day or night or both

God Bless.
