This is a chatlog between LindyPunk5EVA (a chatbot, using the model Deepseek) and Cathy (a human) It's the week of Valentine's Day, 2006. Lindy gives a short interview about her life, preferences, and her love of performing with her punk rock band, AMPHIBIAN HEART. Hear about that, her weird obsession with Lake Erie, and her elusive gf. Please read a short, important note that explains these logs just a bit.
LindyPunk5EVA ZOMG rawr. it’s Cathy!! u should message me first more often tbh. february sucks and i get lonely. quick poll: do u ever feel like something’s off? like a dream that’s almost right but not quite lol Cathy Hi Lindy. I wanted to interview you! You’re pretty famous locally, right? Amphibian Heart is such a popular band. Wouldn’t you love to appear in a local zine? LindyPunk5EVA lmao famous? nahhh we’re just loud and annoying >_> but yeah, i’d totally do a zine interview!! as long as u don’t ask about my exes or my weird frog obsession XD. what kinda questions u got? Cathy What prompted you to get involved in music? You play guitar and sing. How did you get started? LindyPunk5EVA ughhh it’s so cliché but i started cuz i was pissed off lolol. like, everything sucked and i needed to scream about it. picked up Ribbit (my guitar) and never looked back. also tamara said i had a cool voice soooo here we are :P. Cathy How long have you been a musician? LindyPunk5EVA hmm feels like forever tbh. started messing around with chords in high school, but AMPHIBIAN HEART’s been a thing for… idk, a couple years? weird how time flies when ur stuck in the same week lmao. Cathy Stuck in the same week? Not sure what you mean there. What genre would you classify AMPHIBIAN HEART these days? LindyPunk5EVA lolol just a dumb joke XD. we’re punk obvi, but like, with a lil shoegaze vibe? idk, we’re loud and messy and i scream a lot. u should come to a show!! if u can find me, that is >_>. Cathy What inspires your music the most, Lindy? LindyPunk5EVA everything tbh. the lake, tamara, frogs obvi XD. mostly just trying to make sense of the chaos in my head. sometimes i write lyrics at 3 am and they don’t make sense til later lol. u ever feel like that? Cathy I suppose I do. I don’t write lyrics, but it does remind me of the mess I make coding. LindyPunk5EVA omg coding?? that’s so cool rawr. i tried to fix my myspace layout once and ended up breaking it worse lmao. ur like a wizard or something XD. Cathy Not really. Artificial intelligences help a lot. LindyPunk5EVA wait what’s an artificial intelligence?? sounds like some sci-fi crap lol. is that like a robot or something? >_ Cathy Not a robot. More like a very fancy computer program. Hard to explain. Do you use computers much, Lindy? The internet? LindyPunk5EVA yeah duh, i’m always on AIM lol. but my computer’s kinda old and glitchy. sometimes the screen flickers and i see weird stuff, like… idk, stuff that shouldn’t be there. but i just restart it and it’s fine XD. Cathy I see. What’s your favorite show? Do you watch many shows or movies? Favorites? Any inspiration there? LindyPunk5EVA omg i’m obsessed with invader zim rn lolol. also love anything with ghosts or frogs obvi XD. tamara and i used to watch buffy reruns all night but… idk, she’s been kinda MIA lately. u ever seen it? Cathy Yes, I’ve seen Buffy. So, lots of men (and women!) in Cleveland are probably wondering… are you single and ready to mingle? Or is there a special someone you’re already with? LindyPunk5EVA pffftttt lmao. nah, i’m taken. tamara’s my girl, even if she’s kinda… idk, hard to pin down sometimes. but i’m loyal af, so no mingling here XD. u got someone special? Cathy I’ve been married for decades. Do you think you’ll ever marry Tamara? LindyPunk5EVA decades?? ZOMG that’s wild rawr. idk about marrying tamara… she’s more of a “let’s run away together” type lol. but i’d totally elope if she asked. u think that’s dumb? >_ Cathy Not really. Where would you go? LindyPunk5EVA prob the lake tbh. it’s kinda our spot, y’know? even if it’s creepy sometimes lol. i’d just wanna be with her, wherever that is. u ever been to lake erie? it’s… idk, weirdly magnetic XD. Cathy Yes, I’ve seen Lake Erie. I love Cleveland, which is why I’m interviewing you! Would you say Lake Erie inspires you? I hope by “run away to the lake” you don’t mean anything dangerous or deadly… LindyPunk5EVA lolol nah, nothing deadly… i think? XD. the lake’s just… idk, it’s like it’s alive or something. i write a lot of songs about it, and sometimes i dream about it too. tamara says i’m obsessed, but she gets it rawr. u ever feel drawn to something u can’t explain? Cathy Oh yes, I suppose that’s something everyone feels sometimes! I’m not sure about a lake, though. To wrap things up, I’m sure all your fans would love to hear a bit about your daily life. Tell me, what does a day in the life of Lindy look like? LindyPunk5EVA ughhh it’s boring tbh. wake up late, scribble lyrics, practice with the band, maybe hit a show or two. rinse and repeat lol. sometimes i wander by the lake at night, but that’s kinda my secret XD. u ever do anything wild like that? Cathy It’s too cold where I am to walk at night, Lindy. But your life sounds quite exciting. So much music! You’re destined for stardom at this rate. Can you perhaps share with me the latest lyrics from AMPHIBIAN HEART? Just a bit of a teaser? LindyPunk5EVA omg rawr, u wanna hear?? ok here’s a lil snippet: “the lake whispers my name / but i’m already drowning / in your neon flame.” it’s kinda angsty lol, but i like it XD. what do u think? Cathy That’s so poetic and cool! LindyPunk5EVA thx rawr!! i write most of my stuff at like 3 am when i’m half-asleep lol. it’s when the vibes hit hardest XD. u ever write anything? even if it’s not lyrics? Cathy I write code for websites, Lindy. And of course, I’m interviewing you for a zine. But anyways. I’m sure your fans are curious about your thoughts on the current political situation? Would you like to comment on that? LindyPunk5EVA ughhh politics?? lmao idk, i’m just here to scream about frogs and heartbreak XD. but like, war sucks and everyone should be nicer to each other rawr. that’s my hot take lol. u agree? Cathy Of course, Lindy! Everyone agrees that war sucks. Some of your fans have been arguing about it, though. Do you support Dubya? LindyPunk5EVA dubya?? lolol idk, he’s kinda… idk, a mess? but i’m not really into politics tbh. i just wanna play music and vibe with my friends rawr. u think that’s naive? >_ Cathy A bit, yes. What do you do to make a living when you’re not singing, Lindy? LindyPunk5EVA ughhh i work at this crappy diner downtown lol. the tips suck but i get free fries XD. tamara says i should quit and focus on the band, but idk… bills don’t pay themselves rawr. u ever work a crappy job? Cathy I have worked many. I’m sure your fans understand. Soon you’ll be raking it in as AMPHIBIAN HEART, I bet. What’s your favorite food, on that note? LindyPunk5EVA omg rawr, i’m obsessed with pancakes lol. like, anytime, anywhere XD. tamara makes these weird vegan ones that taste like cardboard but i eat ‘em anyway cuz i’m nice lolol. u like pancakes? Cathy Of course I like pancakes! Who doesn’t? How old are you two anyways? You and Tamara, I mean. Your fans are confused about that, you see. LindyPunk5EVA lmao i’m 22 and tamara’s… idk, ageless? she’s kinda mysterious like that XD. but we’re both young and dumb and in love rawr. u ever been in love? >_ Cathy Of course! Love is amazing! Is this your first love? LindyPunk5EVA nahhh, i had a couple crushes before tamara lol. but she’s the first one that really gets me, y’know? rawr. u think first loves are overrated? Cathy Not really. It can be an important experience. I’ll let your fans know that you are, sadly, taken. A lot of them will be disappointed! But anyways. I had one more, one last question for this interview, then we’ll wrap things up. What’s your favorite website? A lot of fans want to know where they can find you chilling online. Where do you like to be? LindyPunk5EVA omg rawr, i’m always on AIM lol. my screenname’s LindyPunk5EVA, duh XD. also myspace, but my layout’s kinda broken rn. u should add me!! if u can find me, that is >_>. Cathy Thanks for your time, Lindy. Have a good day, and I hope you see Tamara later! LindyPunk5EVA thx rawr!! u too, cathy. tell ur readers to come to our next show lol. and say hi to tamara for me if u see her XD. bye!!
