i end up spitting on my computer a lot

We have a full routine here in my office. Everybody plays along. Voices, rhythm section, barnyard animals, you name it.

i frequently answer my inner monologue's questions out loud and sometimes i laugh out loud at my own unspoken jokes to myself.
so basically i just sound as if i am talking to someone who isnt there.
i do this a lot. i think it freaks the art director out. (we share work space)
i think the human beatbox thing is a good idea. very energetic. maybe i should try it?

I talk to myself.

i am constantly making noises. mostly escaping gas noises made on accident most likely due to my morning intake of vitamin b... for burrito... frozen.
i'm sure it's not good to eat that for my health or my colon but i've gotten to the point now where i can almost toot the entire "in a gadda da vida" chorus. not bad.

I'm the evil desktop drummer. I've always received the dirtiest looks. It could be because I suck though!
I also go through fits of snapping, and making "plop" noises everytime I click my mouse.
It must be nice working with barnyard buddies!

did you hear that in a gadda da vida guitarist died recently? i was sad.

ive got a tendency to sing along with my tunes here..
i have an office to myself..but the door is usually open...so i tend to get odd looks as people walk by...
like my ol man used to say..
"if you can't sing good...
sing loud"
:)

i can do some pretty cool techno sounds..
i do this thing where i make my lips small and voice out a rythmic string of sounds and slowly open my mouth for a nice phazer/flange effect... when i really get into it, i'll start tapping my feet and teeth...
sometimes i wish i could record the full effect... i think i could get signed under astralwerks or something...

he died?!?
that's it.....
THIS ONE'S FOR YOU BUDDY!
*farting
"in-a-gadda-da-vida baby.... don't you know.....*slight rest to recoup

Some times I'll talk aloud to myself as though I'm talking to a client, introducing the finished product to them. It seems to help out too, makes you think outside the head a bit.
It's great for trouble shooting too. I talk to myself as though I've never seen the code before, and manage to trick myself into believing that I haven't. Some times I find myself rather gullable. Shit, I could sell ice to myself if I was an eskimo!

mitsu, I hear that! I jiggle my teeth in varying beats all the time. And I find it hard to walk around without tapping my feet.

I listen to Rick James 'Superfreak' over and over. That's the only mp3 I have.

I say 'yo' and 'pffft' a lot and that's pretty stinkin' annoying, haa! Who knew, vena is cool and rocks the PA!
