do you talk to yourself?

So I was sitting in my car having a cigarette earlier, when I realized that I was talking to myself out loud. When I think about it...I kind of do it a lot. I know a lot of people say they talk to themselves, but to what extent does it become abnormal?
We have a video of me when I was like 6 yrs old, playing in a room all by myself-and there I am fully involved in an intricate story between myself and all the inanimate objects in the room. All kids do this, but are you suppose to outgrow it at some point?
I don't talk to myself...it is just that I'm the only one around to hear me talk. It's just weird because I'll talk as if I'm in a conversation with someone else about random topics. I'll think of ideas for stories and I'll be hashing out the plight of the main character, or I'll pretend I'm famous for some nonsense...and I'll speak as if I'm being interviewed or something. Again-is this normal?!?! Haha. It's just a very strange thing. I have so many dialogues going on in my mind and when I'm really stringing my thoughts together on a topic I find myself talking about it out loud, as if there was an audience.
Although, I guess that is kind of what blogging is to begin with. Only with blogging or vlogging, there's the idea that someone out there will indeed see it. Sometimes I'll vent about people or situations, as if I'm in the confessional on the Real World-lame.
Well not so lame. Its just that in admitting this habit, I wonder what people will think. Do I need more friends? Maybe a therapist? But then on the other hand-it really helps to work ideas out verbally. It kind of helps my creative process. SO I guess I'm just wondering if this is a sign of me being crazy, and if so-how many people out there are crazy like me?
