I don't want another version of me around. One is enough.

However, we would both have a lot of cats and help feed and care for feral cats in our town.

Does that mean what I think it does? :oops:

As for fighting yourself. If you had the same opinion, would you even notice?

BTW If it was the case with ME, I don't know what I would do as an adult. If we were a lot younger, it would be great. Heck, it is likely nobody would pick on us because they wouldn't know which was which, and they would have TWICE as much to deal with. We could make sure the other got what he needed, etc...

That I'm a pervert? Yes.

There's a scene in the movie The Island that shows a clone meeting his "real" counterpart. Lincoln Six Echo, a clone, escapes from an underground cloning facility into the regular world. Using the information given to him by McCord, a low-level employee, he finds Tom Lincoln, the person who had him created. Both characters look and act very surprised throughout the whole scene. Then a whole chain of event transcribes, which I probably shouldn't tell, so I won't ruin the movie.

Well, it would probably be beneficial to me because I would be able to see how I move, how I act around people, and hear my own thoughts and opinions in a new light...When I meet somebody else, I can judge them more easily than I judge myself (more objectively anyway) and sort of decide if I respect them or not. (I mean, I shouldn't be judgmental, but I am, LOL.)

So I could judge whether I am a confident person or not, and see how I need to change. I wouldn't beat myself up over anything, or argue with myself, but I would probably make some positive changes. That would be cool. :)

A clone of myself? I'd stay away. It would scare me. I wouldn't know what to say to him or how to hold a conversation with him, even if he was myself. It would be extremely awkward. At least initially. After we finally started comunicating, I can't even say what we'd even talk about.

We'd probably mope around all day whilst spouting uneducated philosophy, talking about death and thinking of homicide/suicide whilst swimming in the depressive pool of autistic drool. Like me now, but two.

Good times.


That is very poetic and melancholy. You could be an exceptional writer.

Heh, KristaMeth, do you sometimes get in arguments with yourself in your head?

"Yeah! I want a green car!"
"RED CARS ARE BETTER"
"NO, screw red cars"
"Screw you, your such a ****"
"I hate myself"

That'd probably be bad for cloning yourself. Now you can literally "beat yourself up", both physically and emotionally. YES!
