and this dude is an expert in *what*??!?

Re; Internal monologue. Mine used to make it to the 'outside voice' -- usually when I was walking 3-10 miles/day. Of course I answered myself when I asked for input. I *also* think in pictures and if someone can write a really good word picture I'm Right There for it. Pictures to hands... it's easier for me to model something than try to draw it. Lost the fine drawing skill with the first TBI, but can sketch in a pinch if I need to. Physical rendering, still pretty good. I can *see* music. I know you're a Bartok fan and one of the most visually vivid symphonies I went to was Bartok. (I have no idea which, now) I hear music other people don't hear. It's not really aural hallucination, I'm told, it's a by-product of the ringing in my ears and specific range nerve deafness. It's /far/ more interesting than random tinnitus, but usually /almost/ subaudible, like it's playing in the next room. I don't mind being alone, I'm rarely at a loss for entertainment.

I think he is an expert in mouthing off on the internet. I think a lot in words, but also a lot in abstract concepts. I do visual output better than I accept visual input from words.
