--- End quote ---
loud enough for people in this forum to hear him?
Mustakyy:
D'aww.
What a nice start for the week. Marten seems genuinely happy, which has been kind of rare treat lately.
--- Quote from: Tergon on 27 Mar 2011, 21:43 ---I talk to myself constantly. Occasionally I have been mocked for it, to which I usually respond that it's because I can't have an intelligent conversation with anyone else. ;)

Hehe, it seems that im not the unique snowflake i thought i was. I admit using the exact same response with a mischievous smirk. :roll:
Seems that we have quite few self-debating forumites here. (which is nice)

During the day I can't hear a thing in my house (3 stories/4 apts) with just the sounds of people outside or various tv's on or whatnot, but when I'm trying to sleep and it's all dark and silent, I swear I can hear the third floor neighbor fart (:
Which is why I always sleep with a fan on!

This is why my (soon to be former) workplace has a "no talking" rule after 10 PM. Walls made of cinderblock, floors of poured concrete and tile, bed frames of metal... you drop a pin in a room and it sounds like the building's falling apart.

--- Quote from: PenguinNinja1408 on 27 Mar 2011, 21:42 ---Does anyone else think the person who's replying to Marten's introspection is someone other than Faye and Angus? I don't really know the layout of Marten + Faye's apartment, so it's entirely possible the person who's yelling at him in the last panel is their next door neighbor or something.
Also, where is Ellen (Steve's ex-girlfriend) living (http://questionablecontent.net/cast.php?, search for Ellen)? Earlier on in the comics, she was living in the same building as Marten and Faye. Did she move out or something?

She got put on a bus boat. Yes, she showed up several strips later, but she acknowledged that the "next semester" she was going to be on a research vessel.
Of course, that was probably several semesters ago.

--- Quote from: Sorflakne on 27 Mar 2011, 23:48 ---I have these kinds of conversations with myself from time to time. I need to be careful though, as it's pretty easy to get all existential during them if I don't self-moderate.
--- End quote ---
Amen. Been there.
I don't think it's so unusual that Marten is having this moment right before bed. I'm a little surprised that he's apparently using a teaching voice to do it, like he's giving some sort of seminar, but I'm not surprised that this is his thought process nor am I surprised that he thinks out loud. Nighttime's when you do most of the processing anyway, isn't it?
