Lindstrom Knows Everything, everything that matters, anyway Options

[Lindstrom]

State budget cuts cost me my job, but it's ok cuz I still have plenty of money and means to make it. It was stressful at times, but I still liked it a lot.

[Headtrip]

How can you "pass" on Weird Al? This is ludicrous!

[Chicken]

D: That's no good.

Would you say you have a quick temper or are you a very patient kind of person?

[Lindstrom]

Cuz computers are lame. Also, I stopped listening to Weird Al after I was 10 pretty much.

The only person who tests my patience is my dad. As far as people like Domeki go, I'm usually just fucking with him. I have unlimited patience with friends and well-intentioned strangers. That's not to say I'm some pushover, though. If I really want to I can debate anyone into the ground. Also, if someone is giving me shit and I really don't care to hear it, I just leave while they're still talking.

[Chicken]

Totally understand the dad part. -_-

Is it just your dad's eating habits or his behavior in general?

[Lindstrom]

His behavior. I mean, he eats a lot of gross stuff and leaves a mess in the sink, but really it's just his personality of barging in whenever and demanding something, and having an incredibly short temper. Imagine Joe Pesci, but 6' tall, 250 lbs, and with the voice of Bowser from the old Mario cartoons. Then imagine him flipping out cuz he doesn't have any mustard.

[Headtrip]

Who tuned this? I can't shred with these, I need light strings! Light strings!

[Chicken]

Wow, you seriously described my dad. He got reaaaaaally mad just because the person in front of him was moving 10 miles an hour up a pretty scary hill. I mean, I found it annoying, but he goes and slams his massive fists on MY steering wheel and goes, "F--- er dumbass people! MOVE!" (Mother has forbidden him to use the "f-word" around me.)As you can imagine, it didn't help at all. He also got mad that he had to pick up my sister from basketball practice. o_o

So, do you yell at your dad or leave the room or just grin and bear it while secretly plotting what you can do to him?

[Lindstrom]

When will you ask real questions?

Depends what he's asking me to do. Usually it's reasonable and I just do it, sometimes I just say no and leave.

[Chicken]

My dad seems to think I'm his maid. I mean, I really do enjoy running errands and stuff, but it gets freakin' ridiculous when he's two seconds away from the refrigerator and asks me to get him a coke.

So, what's new?

[Lindstrom]

Picked up New Super Mario Bros Wii and it rules. Other than that, I have a speech on Nuclear Power I have to give on Thursday, and a small commission to make an animation showing how photosynthesis works. Also, my uncle is coming up from Virginia for my grandmother's birthday, which means I'll be going to the best sushi place in the area. I'm thinking of bringing a friend of mine who loves sushi a lot too, but I'm pretty certain I'd have to lie and say I was dating her for it to work, which would only lead to a bajillion questions and I hate having to build upon a whole bunch of lies when I just want my friend to get a free awesome meal.

[Headtrip]

What percentage of UFOs do you believe are actually piloted by aliens who apparently have nothing better to do than buzz farmer's houses?

[Chicken]

Sounds like pretty decent week.

When you were a kid/adolescent was your room cluttered?

[Lindstrom]

0%, aliens just shoot lasers and eat peanut cheese bars.

Yeah, since I had to share it with my twin brother. These days it only gets cluttered if someone dumps something in my room or something.

[Toaster Boy]

How come when we go through teenage years, we could care less about almost everything?

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

Have you ever thought on making a Lindstrom picture book? I'd take a look at it.

[Lindstrom]

I'm not sure if that goes for everyone, but I know I had a decently large apathetic "everybody can go fuck themselves" period in my teen years. I guess it comes down to not feeling appreciated or respected, at least it did for me. Getting rejected, being told you have to prepare for the rest of your life (college and careers), stuff like that. For me it changed when I got into the local theater because I was dealing with people who had a different perspective. I had college girls telling me they loved my eyes and wanting to hang out, and a friend twice my age who was the "been everywhere, done everything" type who said that you have to keep a good outlook and maintain your integrity or you'll never be happy. That's not to say that sometimes, I could care less if everyone else on the planet was totally miserable. But other times, I want to be the guy who invents or writes or comes up with something that makes everyone feel safer or happier or whatever. You'll figure it out on your own, or I guess you might end up being a spiteful person. Who knows.

These days I don't have time to be always drawing for the fun of it. I've thought of doing webcomics and things, but really I just can't go spending that much time and effort without receiving some kind of payback, especially since a book of pictures doesn't really do much. Sure, you could "take a look at it", but I would rather do something more sustainable and meaningful.

[Toaster Boy]

I guess it has something to do with having a near adult body but still being seen as a kid that doesn't know chocolate pudding yet. I don't know, but I'm guessing sports and hanging around with friends has been helping me cope so far.

[Lindstrom]

Yeah, that might be it. Despite my age, I still look like I'm 16 or so, which is only really a problem if there are girls who think of me as too boyish. I lose interest in girls who think that way pretty fast though. Anyway I grew into who I am surrounded by girls, I wonder how things would be if I was playing football and stuff instead of doing theater.

[Headtrip]

Is the jerk store still out of me?
