Do you think you would get along well with a clone of yourself?

Wouldn't look identical, but have the exact same personality. Could be online, or in person, whatever.

Most definitely. Finally. Someone who is reasonable, intelligent, rational, with a good sense of humor, who "gets" me and won't misconstrue everything I say. I won't even mind that he drinks all my beer.

Here is the clone whatnot: clones would not have personalities. Why? Because only God can give souls and clones wouldn't have spirits and where do we get our personalities from? Our souls. So, yeah, I think my clone, and any clone for that matter, would be boring as all get out. :)

No fair...! You're right, but

I meant like someone with your exact personality. Not a literal clone...

Oh! :) Then it's still no, because I most assuredly could not get along with someone like me. I've known that for a really long time. :D Have you ever heard that song by Pink, Don't Let Me Get Me? Yeah. That's me. "I'm my own worst enemy. It's bad when you annoy yourself." Another me running around with me would be bad news for me. :)

Probably not, considering I can kind of have an authoritative personality at times. I'm pretty sure my clone and I would fight till the sun goes down. Also...I'm very quippy. So that'd be another thing. We'd be battling wits till Jesus came back. lol

I'm pretty sure that if my clone and I had a popularity contest, my clone would be WAY more popular than me and would win by a landslide.

Meaning, of course, that then I would have to cleverly make sure she quietly disappears (takes a permanent vacation), and then slyly replace my own clone with... myself.

I don't think people would be able to tell... Although... It WOULD be a challenge.

You know, having to act like myself all the time.

Well at least you didn't bring quantum mechanics into the discussion.

Our clone is of the opposite sex? Hmm...

Yeah if there was a female clone of me it would be weird. Unless she was an exact copy so we literally would agree on everything, then we'd both have the same style for working things out. And then we couldn't ever win an argument with each other because we'd know each other's tactics.

So that's why you asked for the black trash bags and the rags. You told me that thing in the trunk was just a carpet! Why didn't you tell me it was a body dump. I would have worn a ski mask or something.

What I wrote was all that I understand about cloning. :) I am a writer, thus I am creative, not analytical. Wow. I can't even tell you how hesitant my fingers were trying to type that word: analytical. :) Yup. Anyway, quantum mechanics (another hesitant typing moment there) are way beyond my desire to understand. :D In other words, what my over-active creative brain is trying to say, there was never any fear of my bringing quantum mechanics into the discussion. ;)

I needed a good accomplice... :) and you were on a Need-To-Know basis.

I figured if I was the one wearing the ski mask, and everyone saw YOUR face instead... HOME FREE!! :)

I do make the perfect patsy. You set it up so perfectly...

And you said there would be cake. Wait I just figured it out. It's a cake with a file in it for when I get sent up the river for being a patsy...

If I had a clone, we could split chores 50/50. Granted, if she was really just like me, she'd hate washing dishes, too, so we'd have to work out something where neither of us was ever stuck ALWAYS doing a particular thing.

But, I'd have to get along with her, if I want her to do my work for me.

I'd probably end up kicking her out though, because I can just imagine all the extra money it would cost to keep us BOTH supplied with spray paint. We can only afford to support one weird habit at a time here.

(That might sound really wrong, somehow...which is funny...but to clarify- spray paint is for painting, not huffing, mmkay?)

LOL.
Indeed. Finally, someone who is reasonable, loyal, intelligent, rational, with a kind sense of humor; who understands "BananPie," and won't mess up my bathroom. I won't even mind that she eats my chocolates in her bed.
