(Mics on stage that only go to the band and crew). I’m always talking to the band on stage through our talk back mics, it’s a good way to help me feel comfortable and grounded during shows. Sometimes we are just being funny or will compliment each other's playing.

I only use it to listen to my own voice. Like I literally just used it yesterday because during one of my work meetings, there was an echo and I kept hearing my voice after everything that I said, and my voice sounded so god-awful that I needed to like practice talking into my phone

so about half the time my "internal monologue" is my own voice giving myself instructions (ex. "ok, i have ten minutes to spare. what should i do? i think i'm gonna pull up pi.fyi and look at posts until i have to get back to work."). it's not literally me listening to my own voice because i am conceptualizing the voice much faster than i (or any human) is capable of speaking, but it definitely coherently exists in my head as a fleshy .mp3 file, and it is definitely my voice.
the other half of the time i am simulating social scenarios in my head. there are a variety of scenarios where i do this: sometimes i am actually rehearsing for a real social situation that is actually going to happen, sometimes i'm merely preparing for the possibility of a social situation, sometimes i'm trying to do a post-mortem on a situation that has already occurred so i can think about how to improve, and sometimes i'm just talking to an imaginary adversary in my head in order to find and plug holes in my worldview / philosophy etc.
adding the caveat that if i am alone (or merely think i am alone) the "internal" monologue / conversation frequently becomes an external one, and i am sometimes ambushed by my partner and / or roommates who occasionally hear me passionately arguing with an imaginary person and i've just kind of made peace with the fact that i am going to appear casually schizophrenic to anyone who catches me doing this because i genuinely believe that actively trying to rehearse conversations and arguments in advance is what helped me get over my debilitating introversion to the extent that i have

I am a big fan of collections. I collect a lot of things… Pokémon cards and plushies, theme park sippy cups, figurines, alarm clocks etc - but my yoyo collection is my favorite!!

Best book I’ve ever read, I can’t stop thinking about it. I really want to re-read it but I am trying to wait until I forget some of it because I want to experience how good it was again.

I wear these everyday. I like how light weight they are and they just sound really good - also less people will talk to you if you have headphones on.
