I have internal monologue sometimes, and I also have the characteristic you're describing here. It's sort of pleasing somehow to discover that someone else has similar parsing issues. I tend to get stuck on failed parses, which sometimes makes conversation awkward. Some failed parses are funny, or they might prompt me to substitute homophones in a search for a parse that works. Sometimes the results make me laugh, and that can lead to occasional awkwardness.
