Since I'm living on my
own now, I think it's time I started developing a hobby I always wanted to try.
I'm going to start muttering to myself. The best part about this hobby is that
I can do it whenever I want to. It doesn’t matter if I'm in a crowd, or alone
at home. I can just start muttering. As an added incentive, most people in the
world are probably too timid to tell a person muttering to keep quiet.
Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment
is going to become one of my new heroes, as I can think of no better mutterer
to have as a role model. I plan to take to this hobby slowly. I don't think
it's possible to just dive in and start babbling nonsense to yourself. I'll
start off simply with coherent and thought-out sentences spoken in a hushed,
low voice. This will probably materialize as a long string of complaints. As I
feel more comfortable with this tone of voice, I intend to become less
coherent. I'll start making up words and inserting long and short pauses
arbitrarily throughout my monologues. Hopefully I can extend this with abrupt
topic shifts. With further practice, I hope to finally develop it into full
arguments with myself. These arguments will be kept private with a large
vocabulary of completely nonsensical words. With any luck, this hobby will
completely alienate me from the rest of society, which is basically the whole
purpose. I wonder if they have a Muttering
for Dummies.

You are seriously messed up, but in a good way.
@In_Reason_I_Trust - I'm... flattered? I don't know whether I should accept that as a compliment.
@Jimbo1023 - Yes, it is a compliment. Normal people scare me, and you're certainly not normal. Again, that's good.
That hobby sounds like an old man's hobby or like a church elder! Haha!
And you're listening to the Eagles? I think they were before my time, let alone a wipper snapper who is barely 21....*jab*
Do watch "Leave it to Beav" too? Okay, I'll leave. *sneaks away quietly, but with some mumbles and incoherent muttering..*
Who are all these random people??
And then you can mutter stuff when people cut in front of you in line or something, "I really wish they didn't do that, not I have to |verb| them"
