Picture this;
There is a knock at the door, you go to answer it and when you open the door you see yourself standing there...
What do you do?

1. juggle! passing clubs with someone exactly at your level would be cool
2. make a quick video of a two-person poi routine
3. get me to make me tea
4. play chess
5. get stoned and copy each other for ages until it seems like we're looking into a 3d mirror
6. juggle some more
7. visit all my friends and freak them out
8. record some songs, live with two part harmonies
9. acrobalance
10. knock me out and store me in a cryogenic lab for spare organs and body parts and go on the biggest binge in human history

if its me not the other stuff then that would mean some sort of rip in time or such and id be guessing i didnt do it or id be the one knoching on the door so id say something about to to unleash temporal doom on us all, but knowing that it was me i would know that the other me would know thats what i would be thinking so i wouldnt have to say it. then the other me would say something along the lines of cool eh, but he would know that i would know that that was what he was going to say so he would say it, so on and so forth then after we had finished not saying stuff the other me would probably go and do whatever it was he came here to do.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

I would...
Gawp a bit, it's a bit strange to meet yourself suddenly afterall.
Then I'd give me a big hug, because I *always* need a hug so I know it would be appreciated, and it would be so nice to have a hug from someone I knew understood how I felt and things like that.
Then I would make us a cup of camomile tea each, and we would go and try on lots of my clothes, so I could see whether my bum looked big in them without having to deploy mirrors.
I wouldn't bother asking what she was doing and where she was from and what was going on, cos I know me, I'd get round to saying that in my own time.
Hmm.

Id give myself a hug. Its something i normally am unable to give myself when i need it.

i would prolly go and play counter-strike agaist my self that would be the best thing in the world because we would think the same we would always do the same thing it would be so easy for a us to know what the each other was going to next therefore making myself the hardest person i will ever or have every played.
Then i would go get drunk and go do some random stuff bit of fire twirling.
then if me was going to stick around would get me todo some designs and double my productivity and get a raise
The only bad thing would be if we went out we would both like the exact same girl
then would prolly go drink some more.
but i have to say having a coversaytion with yourself wouldn't be very interesting.

We make wicked hot chocolate and sit down to analyze how both of us came to exist at once.
Then we get distracted and play some go.
We probably end up fooling around cause, hey, it's just masturbation. (Well, that or we get kink points for it. Hard to pass up a unique opportunity for non-icky kink points.)
Pillow talk centers on how best to take advantage of the situation from then on.

i probably say the following [in which case he would also say]
"my god your ugly! look at the size of your nose! its hidoeus! and you are so fat! how many beers have you been drinking??!! look at you! where did you get your clothes? did you mug a boat person??"
and similar words to that effect.
this reminds me of that 'red dwarf' episode where the validity of their existance is judged by themselves.....does anyone remember that?

I have a friend who is *alot* like me, and he always wondered why we never dated. My answer has always been, "I know me, and I know what I don't like about me.....I would be insane to date me!"

I think I'd hang out with me for a while. Try chatting and stuff. Mostly to see where I need improvments.
I might play some video games with myself too.

I'd tickle myself.... errr. Herself.
If it really WAS me, cos lets face it, I'd be sceptical, I'd know where I was ticklish and could take unfair advantage of the situation.
Then I'd get me to call me on the phone to find out if I really DO sound as bad as I thought I did. Then I'd get freaked out and ask the other Me to go away. But if Me had any spare cash, I could loan that to myself first.
erm.
I'm confused now...
