Hi, I wanted to reply to something besides the polyphasic thing because I'm a logophile and we can't bear to appear one-dimensional. So I will proffer assurances that either a) you're normal or b) you're no weirder than me, which you may take as as comforting as you like. ;) I get obsessed with my own writing; I've reread emails and blog-entries hundreds of times, I surf my "sent" folders, and when I get antsy I break open my mammoth collection of poetry and read until the pooling saliva shorts my keyboard.
But no, it's nothing like masturbation. Except insofar as that it's normal, heh.
