H.P.
I play out different scenarios out loud as if they were real...imagining what would happen if this were said or done and I had to respond to it.
My husband and I had a conversation the other day about silly things that we do in secret, when we think no one is looking. I fessed up that I speak to myself in a british accent while I'm in the car by myself. I'm really pretty good! LOL!
My best friend confessed that she pretends she is a famous singer all the time, rocking out in the morning, even accepting Grammy awards. Ha Ha!!!
So what's your silly secret? What do you do when no one is watching?
I play out different scenarios out loud as if they were real...imagining what would happen if this were said or done and I had to respond to it.
I talk to the TV when I'm alone. I'll cheer my favorite Idol contestants on. I yell at Conda from Biggest loser. I yell at Ann Coulter and Amy Holmes. Everytime they open thier mouth something mean and nasty, and laughable spews out.
I carry on full on back and forth conversations. Anyone watching would think I was one brick shy of a load.
I talk to myself constantly. Like hours of monolouge. I told this to my husband once and he asked why. I jokingly told him it is the only way I am able to get an intellegent conversation around here.
I used to do it alone, but the kids caught me doing it one day, and thought it was so funny, that I started doing it to entertain them (they are 2 and 6), and forgot one day when DH was home - he just shook his head and went with it.
I slide across the kitchen in my socks. Get a running start in the living room, and slide as far as I can, without falling down. Now that I'm doing it more often, I've got pretty good control, and can get nearly the entire length of the kitchen. Literally get a running start on dishes or cooking dinner.
But I'm also the sort of person who checks to make sure the grocery store aisle is empty (Tuesday mornings are perfect for this), takes a running start, and hops on the cart... sometimes in the parking lot, too. The kids love it. We're pretty good at stopping now.
I talk to myself... A lot.
When cleaning, I have the music on and dance a bit.
When I get a case of writer's block, I act out the scene (With myself). I also do this when I'm not sure if a scene flows.
At my grandma's house, she has a "island" in her kitchen plus really slippery tile floors. If I'm there alone, you'll find me blasting the music and sock sliding/dancing across the floor plus jumping up onto the island and dancing around on that too.
I talk to my animals (dogs, cats, guinea pig) like they absolutely understand English...well they probably do!!!
Amanda L. I ride the cart more than push it lol
I use bathroom waiting areas as dance studios because I'm shy in public.
Its funny because I always get caught and am not shy in the bathroom for some reason and it ussually starts a bathroom dance party where we all come out new friends and laughing=) My boyfriend always thinks its funny, because girls always come up to them telling them how much they love M. and I made the laugh in the bathroom- half of my phone is filled with girls numbrs from the bathroom I became friends with=)
I act out the dialogue in books when I read, different voices/accents for different characters, I can even squeeze a few tears out during dramatic parts. Ssssshhhhh, don't tell anyone!
This week I discovered the joys of a glass of merlot before bedtime. I get tipsy on my nightly merlot and scream with glee that it makes me feels so good and calm and free! I guess in a few months after I use it too often it will stop the effects though... :(
I run around my house like an idiot chasing my dog and then taking turns, he chases me! I have the type of floor plan that we can run around in a figure eight. Sounds crazy but it's actually kind of fun.
So there's my silly secret!!
Fun question!!
hahaha!!!! OMG...I talk to myself, as myself...whole conversations. I may pretend I am talking to someone I would normally talk to (a good friend usually.) The bad thing is, I get caught all the time! My son will ask me who I am whispering to! LOL! My response is, "I'm talking to myself because I am the only one who listens to me!"
One time, a LONG time ago...16 or 17 yrs probably, before I had kids, I was at home, about 1 am wrapping Christmas presents (my hubs and I worked nights and I had the night off) and he had been working OT, but came home early, so was trying to be sneaky and scare me, and when he looked in the window, saw me "talking to someone." hahaha...busted! Was talking to myself! UGH! It's how I work through things that are on my mind, I guess...I promise, I'm not schizophrenic or anything! :)
Thanks for the laugh today!
I talk to the characters on the shows telling to do or not do things.
I do figure skating jumps in the kitchen that I can't do on skates.
I hide treats like cake in the back of the frige and eat them without the kids seeing so I don't have to share it all.
I have a never ending internal dialoge with myself. I guess it is my way of rehashing things without bothering anyone and I analyze it at the same time.
On my more silly note, I have 3 dogs and we get on the floor and play at least once a day with them barking, chasing, etc. They are so full of unconditional love and they make me so happy!
well, it's not even really a secret that i talk to the dogs, cats and horses, but then, i actually do think we all understand each other pretty well.
:)
my secrets are kinda silly. the not-so-fun one is the same one i've had my entire life, secret snacking. my husband has found my hidden chocolate in the linen cabinet and kindly informed me that i'm all growed up and don't need to do that, that i'm allowed to eat chocolate whenever i want. he doesn't understand that it must be hidden and sneaky to be fun. the roots of this are buried so deep now they may never come out. it's not that i can't eat a snack when others are around, it's just that my private just-me treats are really really all about just-me.
okay, i should probably dig into that one.
don't you love how random MP questions suddenly confront you with unexpected psychological twists in your ownself?
the really silly one (also stemming from childhood) is my invisible stable of horses. i don't take them out much any more, of course, and my childhood regimen of feeding, grooming and working out elaborate individual schooling programs for them doesn't happen any more. but sometimes i still ride 'em. nothing sillier than finding a 52 year old woman cantering around the basement or out in the paddock, clucking and nickering to herself.

I turnn on the music loud while I am cleaning the house and sing and dance like crazy! I even get up on the pool table and dance! (just kidding on the last part, but now it sounds like a good idea!)
Talk to the dog - like she knows what I'm saying?
I absolutely never talk to myself out loud - I secretly like a quiet house.
I sometimes hide tiny morsels of yummy food in the back of the fridge.
I've been known to frequent the Chinese buffet restaurant next to my grocery store. I fill a take-out container with various exotic dim sum and eat it in my car without interruption - ahhhh, bliss.
