If you are thinking that this story sounds like a movie called "The Parent Trap", we have never heard of it.
Now that you know more about us, we will start filling you in on our daily lives, which are pretty exciting. We are waiting for the day that Oprah or MTV discovers us and offers us our own reality show. When the day comes we will call our show The Mountains. Here are the stories of us living in The Mountains.
We will start with Halloween...
For Halloween 2010 we came up with the brilliant idea to be Sailors! We knew that we had the most creative idea and that no one else would even think of it. We began dreaming the ideas of our costumes in our heads, picturing a big boat that we could set sail in (similar to Noah's) as well as a lot of fishing nets and anchors. Our boat ended up being made out of cardboard, duct tape, an old pillow case, and butcher paper...not quite suitable for sailing the seven seas, or even down the canal to our neighbors for dinner. But don't get us wrong, we couldn't be happier about the turnout (it's still in our living room as we type). Next, we had to find costumes. Instead of spending all of our money on a pre-packaged Halloween costume at some silly Halloween store, we decided to throw our own together. We found really cute shirts (dresses?) at Forever 21, for a very reasonable price. Added a pair of tights, tattoos (thanks to our tattoo artist Suzy), and sailor hats with iron on patches. Our look was complete! Mal-Pal came up from Salt Lake to accompany us to the Howl. Kirsten also joined us. We trekked up the mountain to campus (without our boat- it couldn't withstand the light rain), and stood in the longest line you could imagine. Good thing our precious friend Poncho was there to entertain us. He was without costume and a twirl. We didn't think we were going to get into the Howl since they oversold it by like 600 tickets. We waited in line for two hours before starting a riot. For usual entertainment, and to pass the time in line, we played our favorite game Operation Old Acquaintance, where we pretend like we have met strangers previously. They get really confused because we are professionals at this game. We finally got into the Howl around midnight, which was very unfortunate because it ended at 1 a.m. But this didn't stop us! We headed straight to the concert (We The Kings). We danced with at least half of the boys in attendance at the concert. We danced with Elvis, some cowboys, a boy in a towel, Hot Rod, and many more. Some of them ran (only like 2 people, really), most of them couldn't get enough. Many of these boys were probably confused when they got home and found that our tattoos had rubbed off onto their skin and clothes. But don't worry, it didn't get on our cute shirts (dresses?). The Howl was a success, as all of our days are. We danced our hearts out, and made many peoples nights. Job well done.
Now for the pictures...
Sailors in training, we salute you!
The pirate trying to steal our boat...unsuccessful!
We are cheerful.
Ready to set sail!
