I talk to myself a lot...sometimes I even use a rather obnoxious british accent, not that such accents are obnoxious in general(I don't think so) but the one I will talk to myself in is lol. I also talk to my cats and I have talked to plenty of dogs not that animals talk back but they do have their own way to communicate and they seem to acknowledge when you are talking to them even if they don't know quite what you're saying.

I have talked to the wind when trying to light a cigarette for instance and it keeps blowing the flame out before I can...as if any amount of asking the wind to quit will make any difference.
