altfriday5:
1. Do you often have songs stuck in your head? Does it bother you? What sort of songs get stuck for you?
I go off and on with getting songs stuck in my head. It usually happens when I am learning a new song, and I get only the line or two I know stuck in my head. Or I have songs from musicals, the majority of what I know well, that are germane to the situation at hand, like "Lusty Month of May" during the entire month of May.
2. Do you converse with yourself in your head? How distinct are the pieces (from "I'm alone in there" to "there are several distinct people who inhabit our body")?
I have conversations in my head all the time, but they are me talking to someone I know not me talking to myself. Usually I'm going over how a conversation should have gone, or practicing a conversation I need (or would like) to have in the future.
3. How easy it is for you to do math in your head?
Err. Not so easy. People expect me to be able to do this well since I majored in Chemistry and had to take a lot of math classes. In general, I can do all sorts of complicated math but adding and subtracting still often escape me. One of my secrets is that I never did learn my multiplication tables.
4. How easy is it for you to visualize things in your head?
This I do well in some ways. I'm really good at those exercises where you have to visualize the back side of a pictured object or at finding my way by following a visualized map. On the other hand, I'm not so go at the visualizing that involves seeing myself do something. Like when you're supposed to visualize yourself giving a speech perfectly to lessen stage fright.
5. Anything else we should know about that's going on in your head?
I don't think so. I hope not.
