I wouldn't ask myself a question unless I expected an answer. And if I
got an answer to questions I asked myself, I wouldn't admit that it
was me answering them. I'd claim it was my invisible friend. My
invisible friend says I ask too many questions.

why not?

seriously.

why would you do that?

based on what?

the answers you give yourself to your questions?

or the lack of answers?

what's the point of asking a question if it's a question that you
already know the answer to before you ask the question?

don't answer that if you already know the answer.

At least these days, you can talk to yourself all you want without
attracting attention. People just assume you're on a cell phone.

I don't talk to myself out loud, and it annoys me when other people
do.

Because I don't know I know the answer, obviously. Besides, I already
said I wouldn't admit it was me anyway. Try to keep up.

I'm part of a cult of one. None of the existing ones were good enough
for me.

Plenty of times I asked myself: "Where's Zero?"
