Hearing voices in your head doesn't work quite the way the movies would have you believe. The whole bit with the devil on one shoulder saying do it and the angel on the other saying don't? Yeah, that's not how it goes at all. There's no debate or bickering or anything. The voice doesn't come from some readily apparent outside source like that and it rarely presents an entire lucid statement. It's more subtle, it slips between the cracks in your conscious thoughts and inserts words in places you never meant for them to be.
And it's not someone else's voice either. I mean it may not sound like your voice does when you speak, but it is most assuredly your voice. In fact, if you take one thing away from all this, I hope it's this fact: those voices in your head are *all* yours. Each and every one. And that's why it's such a miserable condition. If aliens on Venus were beaming some random audio signal into my brain and that's where all these words kept popping in from, I'm relatively sure I'd have the strength of mind to handle that. It's really not very different from drowning out my parents on a long car ride or a professor in lecture hall.
But its me. I'm where the words keep coming from. When I think to myself "I guess I'll head upstairs and get some sleep", and the word "die" jumps in at the "get some sleep" part, that's me putting it there. I don't want to be putting there mind you, I certainly have no intention of dying anytime soon, but there it is nevertheless.
And for me at least, 'die' is usually the renegade word, but 'fuck' takes a close second. 'Fuck' slips in a lot whenever I'm thinking about what I want. Mostly because I don't fuck very much any more, I would guess. I didn't get around all that much in high school either, but enough at least to keep my head straight and my dick from popping a hard on every time I saw a pretty girl. But now I'm about to enter sophomore year of college and have had sex only twice since graduating high school.
It's pretty well like how The Dismemberment Plan describes it: doesn't matter where the hands are pointing, it's Girl O'Clock. Only for girls it's: Anyone but this fugly asshole O'Clock. Have you ever approached a member of the opposite sex at a night club to have him/her lean away from you reflexively? It would be one thing if she did it consciously to let me know "thanks, but no thanks", but to have her look at me and just instinctively move her body away as fast as possible...well let's just say it gets really hard to ask anyone else to dance after something like that.

"Full head of nothing
Fail to see the difference
Fail to feel the mercy
Off to join the flagstaff
Always crush me
Picture my amazement
When it doesn't always pain me
And I will reproduce faster
Commitment trailblazer
Your trail is quite a puzzle
And you are such a daredevil
And you are such a collector
Always crush me
Picture my amazement
When it doesn't always pain me
And I will reproduce faster"
