Lindstrom Knows Everything, everything that matters, anyway Options

[Lindstrom]

Really? Well, there are other threads over 2000, aren't there? It's not a important enough for me to think about really anyway.

Nope, I don't regret stuff, since if I do make mistakes I realize what not to do. I know, it sounds cliche, but it's the truth. Also, since I'm not a very serious person, most of those relationships weren't anything to fret over. I suppose I should've defined "serious relationship"? To me, it's really just a friendship that gets more personal and intimate, and I wouldn't be thinking about other girls when I'm in them. Even if that means we didn't do anything, which in a number of those relationships is the case. I think some people would define "serious" as in you start thinking about marriage and stuff, but I don't believe in marriage. What matters to me is that someone is cool and they stay cool, and not freak out over insignificant things. I can't be spending time alone with them if they're always upset. They need to be a best friend, who forgives and forgets and is there if you call them.

[Saffy]

Just curious, why don't you believe in marriage? I'm not disagreeing with you; I'm merely interested.

[Harvest Sprite]

Do you believe in magic? Whoa! DO you believe-e in magicccc!?!?!

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Is fun twice as fun with them to share, and loneliness and despair not as bad because they care? What with shoulders ready, and reliability to be there some way some how?

[Lindstrom]

A few reasons, the first of which being I'm not religious, so therefore the idea of needing a big expensive ceremony to provide a reason for staying together for the rest of our lives is impractical. Probably sounds cheap, but if you know how much weddings cost then you might consider just throwing a big ass party and let the girl buy a dress, if anything at all. The second reason is that, despite the "now your souls are joined" talk, the rate of divorce is so high and there's no ceremony that "unmarries" you, religiously. Bottom line is, if a girl and I want to spend the rest of our lives together, we don't have to prove it to anybody but ourselves, by actually living that way.

I think that X-Ray machine gave me super powers...

Fun is number 1, yeah!

[Harvest Sprite]

Why didn't you answer my question Lindy? D;

[Lindstrom]

I had to edit in my answer, which is a pretty weak answer, but it was a pretty weak question, so there you go.

[Oscar]

I'm curious; do you live with your parents or at a dorm room?
TB said you lived with your brothers?

[IdlersDream]

Hey, a wedding may cost a lot {could also just go to the City Hall you know...} but you then get great benefits and possibly some tax deductions!
Wouldn't that be worth it? ;P

[Lindstrom]

Right now I'm living with my parents cuz my dad had surgery on his leg and his his overall health isn't impressive. He can't legally drive anymore so aside from doing small jobs around town for money, maintaining the house, and taking some classes, I do a lot of things for him, from cooking, cleaning, carrying stuff, building things, moving things, driving, and so on. Two of my brothers live here too, one is in college and is too dumb to balance his wallet, and the other doesn't really do anything except study things like economics and play video games.

Well, there's always common-law marriage. But I'm not sure that's recognized everywhere. Anyway I'll do whatever is the smartest move benefit-wise, whether that means filling out the forms or doing nothing.

[Chicken]

What about the sign the stupid paper at the courthouse deal?

Anyway, my real question is, if you could be anyone in the world, who would it be?

[Lindstrom]

Whatever, I'll worry about marriage stuff some other day.

Myself. Feel no fear, feel no pain. The Tao of Lindstrom.

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Isn't that Captain Falcon's?

[Lindstrom]

Captain Falcon is a persona. Lindstrom is a real person. I can be Captain Falcon and Lindstrom too.

[IdlersDream]

Are you any good at photography?

[Lindstrom]

I know what makes a good photo, but I don't regularly take pictures since I'm too cheap to buy any amazing equipment. I just have 2 digital cameras and a phone camera. The cameras are a little too basic to get the best picture in a situation so I only really use them if I feel like updating my personal photo.

Back in high school we had a photography class where I learned to develop my own film and stuff, but nobody uses cameras like that anymore. It's just tedious.

[IdlersDream]

That's still cool to know how to develope those kinds of photos. My school had a photography class but everyone just took it for an easy credit. All they ever really made you do was going around school taking random pictures that were supposed to look 'artsy'. I remember a girl took like 30 pictures of a broken pencil in a dirty ditch. Least I could say is that she was kind of weird. :P

Sorry if this is a question you don't really want to answer but are you parents divorced or...? I just never see you talk about your mother. Again, don't have to answer if you don't want to get into details.

[Lindstrom]

They're not divorced, surprisingly. She sleeps in a different part of the house and he's got the patience of a twig, so most people can't stand him at all. They pretty much need eachother, though, since he's got poor health from diabetes, 4 packs of cigarettes a day and regular drinking, and she wouldn't be able to afford the house on her income.

[Headtrip]

It's perfectly normal nothing wrong with me! Right? Uh, about that clean-up on aisle three...yeah...

[Lindstrom]

That's not a question, professor.
