Indecisive
I have, no joke, at least 9 different rough drafts of the new fic I'm working on. And I wonder why I'm not getting anywhere with my writing, lol. Everything I put down is just going in circles!

On another note, I have really random thoughts sometimes. Last night I was thinking about human cloning and all its implications. If ever given the chance to make a clone (only adults would have the right to do this in this hypothetical scenario) I don't think I would. We always think of the benefits - doing many things at once, trying different lives, etc. Even with all those utterly interesting and philosophical bents, that I would find fascinating, I think it would just weird me out too much.
However, I think it'd be a great way to gauge the implications of the nature vs. nurture debate. I know that I would be a much different person if I'd continued living in a small town instead of moving to a large city. Things like that have always made me wonder the kind of person I could have been, and cloning would just be physical confirmation of this potential.
What really struck me, though, is the concept of sexuality. Would it be possible for the original person to be heterosexual, but the clone to come to the conclusion that he/she is homosexual, or the reverse? If not possible, would it be proof for nature over nurture? If it was possible, proof for nurture? Because while many say they're born that way, I'm sure we've all also known people of a different nature who are curious, trying it on, and claim to be gay, only to change back in a year. Makes me wonder about the nature of sexuality itself, and how fluid and in flux it is. Who knows. But it'd be remarkable to have a more empirical way of creating a basis of comparison.
Yes, this is the kind of stuff I think about. I know I'm weird. Whatev.
