I get the impression that the part of you that you tend to regard as conscious is the part that generates qualia, which seems to essentially just be what you remember or some such. The qualia isn't you; it's not even capable of making decisions. Given that, why limit "you" to the part that generates it? I don't know how the words that make up this sentence were decided, but it seems silly to say I didn't write it.
