it's completely normal for me, but i have conversations with everyone in my head, so pdoc is no exception.

i think he thinks it is pretty normal too, because he has often tried to help me out by saying "just pretend i'm sitting with you and cracking a whip to keep you going" (in reference to me procrastinating uni assignments all the time). and then he'll ask me the following week if i am sick of his voice yet, or tell me that he started arguing with me when i started getting stubborn about it (aha! he does it too, then ).

seriously, i think it's no biggie. i remember telling this to my ex once, however, and she was kinda like "WTF?! you crazy person!!" and that was the first time i realised that maybe not everyone does it. she thought it was so bizarre, but whatever, i find it useful.

i know my pdoc would be really chuffed that i have convos with him during the week. he'd see it as an important counterbalance to the negative stuff i'd otherwise tell myself, and he'd also feel honoured that i value his opinion so much that he's someone i turn to have a chat with anyway.
