The alt Friday Five... 3 days late
1. Do you often have songs stuck in your head? Does it bother you? What sort of songs get stuck for you?Always! It usually doesn't bother me, but after a while I might get sick of the song I have "playing" and then I try to change it. Sometimes it's as easy as thinking of something different. Sometimes the original song just keeps coming back no

I wouldn't say "often." It depends on how much music I've been listening to lately.
You mentioned that sometimes you have more than one song in your head. Me too - it's like one of them morphs into the other one, usually at a particular point where they have a similar sound.
2. Do you converse with yourself in your head? How distinct are the pieces (from "I'm alone in there" to "there are several distinct people who inhabit our body")?
It's more silent in there than it used to be. When I do my journaling I feel like I'm talking with myself (but also with some sort of pretend audience). There are sometimes multiple people in my head but more often I'm thinking about them or (more rarely) they are acting rather than we are having a conversation.
When I am alone, I also talk to myself out loud. Although I don't so much have entire conversations out loud. It's more than some portions of the conversations will be vocalized.
3. How easy it is for you to do math in your head?
I can estimate fairly easily. So, for example, I can calculate a tip in my head. But mostly I can't do it with precision, or it takes a long time to think out.
4. How easy is it for you to visualize things in your head?
Speaking of things I read - If it's something specific or small I can do it easily. If it's something large like a whole landscape it's difficult. If it's something with a lot of parts it's also difficult. Also a fair bit of it is less than fully conscious. If I see a movie of a book I've read, even if I didn't have a strong conscious sense of the characters or scenes from the book, I'll have a sense for whether the movie got them "right" or "wrong."
I sometimes have visual fantasies. Those are easy, it's like watching a movie.
5. Anything else we should know about that's going on in your head?
Probably the less said, the better. :)
