When I think about stuff, I often do it in several languages, and tend to flit between the different grammatical/sentence structure rules for them too. Despite this, it makes total sense to me!
"So... if ich will going chez moi auf four o'clock, watashi wa habe ni uhren to get ready..."
(English, German, English, French, German, English, Japanese, German, Japanese, German, English)
I also have a habit of immediately examining any building I enter (even my own house) for potential escape routes in case of anything bad happening (fire, terrorist attacks, zombies, rogue ninja...)

That is weird... How you could learn both German and French! Ahhh... Didn't see that coming!

They were so poorly maintained that they worked out on average one in three would fall through into the seweres if you stood on it. Hence it is ok to step on 3 individual drains but not 3 in a row. ;D

I took German from year 9 to year 11~ You never know what you won't see coming; that's why I look! ;D (Yet strangely, I'm not remotely paranoid about anything like that; I'm just naturally a cautious planner...)

I did French from year 6 to year 9, then decided in year 8 I hated it. My teacher ruined it for me. I'm doing German for GCSE, so into my second year of it now I have a shadow in the corner of my room, that when I turn off the light looks like the grim reaper. No wonder I wrap my quilt around my head...

Another one I tend to do is narrate my life to myself when I have nothing else to think about. I'll walk down the street just narrating everything I do, and sometimes even invent 'what if' scenarios - I can end up turning my walk to work into a huge action-packed adventure in my head! Very good writing practice, mind

Just about everyone in my family talks to themselves; I've even had running conversations with myself. I didn't think it was all that strange

You're not alone there Wahey! I was talking to myself last night while sitting watching TV! I talk to myself because I don't like silence, it makes me feel uneasy. Whenever I'm alone in the house, I have to have music or the TV on, or I just talk to myself
