I talk to myself. Especially when I drive. I think about hypothetical conversations I would have with certain people and then I talk them out loud. Is that weird? I kind of think it is. But, I find that it's really the only way to know if what you're thinking really makes sense - to say it out loud. And in these conversations with myself I always say things poetically. Or if I don't, I always get a chance to redo it. Everything comes out just like I want, and I say everything that I want to.
When I was in grade school and high school I used to practice all my public speeches and presentations out loud. I would stand in front of a mirror and practive everything, word for word. And I was really good at public speaking. Always got A's. In college I got selected to represent my class in a public speaking competition. If I'm prepared for something I can ace it. It's when I have to go off the cuff that I flub everything up. I get antsy and all the words get stuck and jumbled in my head and on the tip of tongue.
If only arguments could be practiced I would be so good.
