Was doing some old Facebook post perusing and we came across this fun thing from a few years back...we figured we would share it with you all. Because everyone needs a laugh! (Oh, and the template is pasted below so you can create your own) :)
H: Dear Kelly,
I don't really know how to tell you this but I'm joining the convent. I think I realized it when I tripped on peanut butter outside of your office and I saw you sit on my boyfriend. I'm sure you're shamed enough to understand how awful you are. I'm returning your toe ring to you but I'll keep the results of that blood sample as a memory. You should also know that I am better off without you and the apartment building is on fire.
Greetings to your frog Leonard,
Holly
K: Dear Holly,
I don't really know how to tell you this but our romance is over. I think I realized it when I tripped on peanut butter in a clown suit and I saw you sit on my father. I'm sure you're shamed enough to understand how awful you are. I'm returning your Hannah Montana underwear to you but I'll keep the results of that blood sample as a memory. You should also know that I am better off without you and you should stop picking your nose.
Go drown yourself,
Kelly

Boredom buster on a Saturday evening: H and K play MASH.
Holly and Kelly: We were perusing a list of topics for when in a blogging "rut". This is the idea we agreed on. Does anybody remember this game????????
We are also 24 years old and have absolutely no shame.
We laughed more unnecessarily than should be allowed on planet Earth.
Here is Kelly's post round 2 future: living in a house in Glasgow, with Robert Downey Jr as the hubs, driving a Tesla, working as a social worker with 2 kiddos. Again, not bad.
There you have it, folks. Some 24 year olds meet up with friends and go out for drinks or go see a movie. Nope. We play MASH.
We are also 24 years old and have absolutely no shame.
 |
| Holly, round 1: Just for clarification, Mr. C is Benedict Cumberbatch and DT is David Tennant. |
 |
| Kelly, round 1 |
At the conclusion of round 1, Kelly's preteen indeterminate make believe future was she was to be living in a shack in Edinburgh, with Mr. C as her hubs, getting around in a golf cart, with 2 kiddos and working doing what she does now. Not bad.
At the conclusion of round 1, Holly's silly, faraway yeah right preteen future was that she was to be married to Rory (from Doctor Who), with one munchkin, getting around in a BMW, living in Sydney and working as an author. Pretty sweet.
Needless to say, we decided to play another round.
This is Holly's post round 2 future: getting around in a Fiat, married to K9 (again, from Doctor Who...she'd have to get used to be getting referred to as "Mistress"), with 2 kiddies, living in New York City and working as a florist. Oh, and living in a shack. Domestic bliss at its absolute finest.
There you have it, folks. Some 24 year olds meet up with friends and go out for drinks or go see a movie. Nope. We play MASH.

30 Days of Sherlock: Favorite Ship
Kelly: Oh....this is interesting. For those of you who don't know what a "ship" is, it is a internet term for a relationship. No, not just a casual one but...you know. There are some crazy and insane Sherlock fans who write fanfic/make drawings on DevianArt or are like "Sherlock and John make such a cute couple!" Then of course there's the infamous "Johnlock" that this fandom has also started. And yes there are several jabs in the series that suggest that Sherlock and John might be gay.
Um....no.
In my opinion, these fans are completely missing the point. It seems in today's culture that TV shows and movies are OBSESSED with relationships and with the fairy tale ending "and they lived happily ever after." But what attracts me to the show isn't the fact that there might be some sort of "relationship" that goes on between Sherlock and John, but that there isn't. I don't see flirting, being in a relationship or anything like that. I see friendship and the love and beauty that comes from that. They look out for each other, they have each other's back, they meet in the most unlikely of circumstances. They have inside jokes, they solve crimes together, and yes, they do live together. Yes, people in relationships do all of the above as well, but friends do that too. It's just silly to me. That's all.
Holly:
Once again, my sister says everything perfectly. STOP WITH THE SHIPS, Y'ALL!! Sherlock and John can be friends! That's it. STAHP.
Um....no.

30 Days of Writing: 5 weird things you like
Kelly: These may not be weird things, but they might be things that you all don't like. But I do! :D
1. Pickles. ANY kind. I love them ALL!!! It's sort of unnatural.
2. A clean kitchen. Seriously. I don't even go to bed until the kitchen is clean.
3. Porches. I get massive porch envy when I go to people's houses. The big wrap-around ones are my favorite! That's the kind I want when I eventually get my own house. We have a wee porch at our place but no furniture (may all checks payable to H and K Porch furniture fund)
4. Sushi. Yes the California Rolls and goodies you get at the grocery store but also the REAL stuff! As in raw fish and everything (Koto in Richmond has it). Don't knock it until you try it; it's actually really good!
5. Vanilla. I love the smell!!!!!!!! It's my favorite. And I like vanilla cake over chocolate, which is unusual because I am a chocolate fiend!
Holly: Don't even ask me to explain some of these. I just can't. :P
1. Clean clothes. I love folding clothes because I love how they smell and feel. I mean, who doesn't love going to bed in a flowery field?
2. The smell of gas. Don't ask why.
3. Having songs on my iPod versus entire albums. I have 350ish songs on my iPod. None of them are entire albums. Most of the time when I buy a CD or something there's always a few songs that don't really roll with me like the rest. If you don't like the song, why put it on your iPod?
4. Accents. Mostly European ones. See basically any movie with a British or Irish dude and you'll see why.
5. Reese Cups. This is weird because I can't stand peanut butter.

30 Days of Writing: Something you miss
Holly: Being a kid. That's why I act silly a lot. I love watching children: their innocence, their views on life, their lack of inhibitions. I love being silly in front of kids because I know they won't judge me. I miss not having to be responsible for me sometimes...sometimes I wish my mom and dad could go back to making all my decisions for me, taking care of me, etc. I especially love kids in church because their answer for everything is always an overly enthusiastic "JESUS!!!". We all learn something from kids. Kids always make me smile and laugh; I'm constantly entertained by them. I think the world would honestly be a better place sometimes if we just acted a little child-like every now and then.
Kelly: Raven. I miss her. Almost three years ago, she had to be put to sleep at 11 years old. She was in our lives starting at 8 years old. She came from a broken home; abused, malnourished and terrified of people. But little by little she gained our trust and won our hearts! I think about her a lot; not as often as I used to but I still do. I hope she's enjoying Jesus's company and playing with the other puppy dogs up there in Heaven. I remember growing up with her, and her being the quiet force of the house, a shoulder to lean on or cry on, or a pillow to lie on. I remember running around in the yard with her, throwing the ball and her barking with the ball in her mouth...that was the funniest thing I've ever seen a dog do! She was a good girl, and I bet if she were human she'd be a lot like us.

Schtuff twin girls say
Holly and Kelly: A while back ago, Holly and I were talking about the fact that we sometimes say some utterly stupid and ridiculous things that really make us laugh. I don't remember which one of us suggested it, but it was suggested that we keep a list of some of these silly/stupid things and post them on a blog to make us laugh. So here you have it; a collective list of our funnies over the last almost month or so:

"EXCUSE ME. Men get breast cancer, Kelly!" ~Holly
"I RAN OUT OF GAS, WILEY!" ~Kelly playing the "Google" Zamboni game
"Is pudding a carb?" ~Kelly
"Everybody needs help. If you say you don't need help, then you need help." ~Kelly

Holly: Haven't seen the ice cream lady van in a while.

"There is a method to my madness." ~Kelly
(after coming home from her first 12-hour clinical) "I'm going to eat like a fatty." ~Kelly

"ERRRRRRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFF!" ~Kelly
"I quit at life." ~Kelly, during fits of clinical, fatigue-induced delirium
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just infested you with my sick!" ~Holly, taking a bite of Kelly's food

"I can't use my food stamps because Martin Freeman didn't win an Emmy." ~Kelly

"Who cares about aesthetics? Get in my belly!" ~Holly while making food
"I don't want to hear anything about you all being hungry. I spent $120 on food today!" ~Kelly
"Hey Kelly....I'm hungry." ~Holly
(roommate shows a picture of Kili) "Ehhh...I don't really think he's all that attractive." ~Holly
"But I wouldn't object if he showed up at the apartment." ~Kelly

Question this! Yeah, we're pretty BORED!!!
Holly: A bajillion people have done this little questionnaire that we're about to do. Figured we'd give it a whirl...heck, you might learn a thing or two about this dynamic duo. :)
When were you happiest? I'm generally a happy person. I suppose one instance is when I learned that the D+ on my transcript wasn't going to ruin my chances of graduating from college.
What is your greatest fear? Stagnancy (i.e. not changing, growing, progressing in life, etc). And disappointing the ones I'm closest to.
What is your earliest memory? Watching my brother ride his gigantic black plastic bike down our driveway. I was maybe 3 or 4.
Which living person do you admire most and why? It's always the answer given, but my folks, because not only are they incredibly hard-working, but amazingly supportive and caring. They believe in even my craziest dreams. And my academic adviser I had in college, because he dealt with a lot of stuff and still managed to inspire me and challenge me in ways I could have never imagined.
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? I'm not as confident as I let on.
What is the trait you most deplore in others? Dishonesty and close-mindedness.
What was your most embarrassing moment? I peed my pants in front of my gym class when I was in second grade. I had to interrupt my mom's class so she could get me some clothes to change into.
What makes you unhappy? The fact that people are just downright nasty to one another.
What do you most dislike about your appearance? I break out like nobody's business. Thank God for Mary Kay!
What is your guiltiest pleasure? Oh geez...."crap telly", any sweets, Sherlock/Hobbit/LoTR tumblr pages
What is your most unappealing habit? Speaking before thinking
What's the worst thing anyone has ever said to you? I'm pretty sure someone (they will remain unnamed) called me a "slut" once in high school.
Which words or phrases do you overuse? "I know, right?"
What has been your biggest disappointment? Not being able to find a job that I can use my degree with. I suppose that's more of a frustration than a disappointment.
If you could edit your past, what would you change? I would say "I love you" more. And listen to my parents.
What is the closest you've come to death? Not necessarily death, by any means, but I passed out when I was 12 and was out for over 30 seconds. It just felt like sleeping. As scary as the aftermath was, it was quite peaceful.
What single thing would improve the quality of your life? Seeking God. Always and everywhere.
What do you consider your greatest achievement? My degree from Berea hanging up in my living room.
What keeps you awake at night? My neighbors and their fireworks, job-related stuff, Yoda meowing at the door, friends of mine going through rough times, those I love back in Ohio...
What song would you like played at your funeral? "Into the West"
How would you like to be remembered? That I made someone's life better just by me being in it, and that I did my best to live like Christ.
Tell us a secret. I once dreamt that Martin Freeman showed up at my apartment. We had tea, and amazingly I didn't manage to scare him off. It was lovely. Also, I want a corgi.
Kelly: Ok, now it's my turn. I'm an open freaking book people. Seriously.
When were you happiest? Stepping off the plane after landing in Glasgow. I was on a red-eye flight and horribly jet lagged, but that day was officially the farthest I've been away from home by myself. I will never forget that moment.
What is your greatest fear? Getting stuck in a job that I will grow to hate but will start out loving.
What is your earliest memory? I have the same memory as Holly, but another one I have was when I was in kindergarten. I stuck one of those plastic wiggly eyes up my nose.
Which living person do you admire most and why? I have a few, but the one on my mind now is a friend who is going through hell right now, yet he still manages to keep the faith. If I were in his shoes I don't know if I would be as strong as he is. Praying for you, friend.
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? I'm kind of loud sometimes.
What is the trait you most deplore in others? Close-mindedness
What was your most embarrassing moment? I was on a Med/Surg floor for clinicals. I had opened a patient's medications out of the packets and put them in the medicine cup. Reached to scratch my nose without even thinking and the meds went everywhere. My instructor made me call the pharmacy to order more. Learned a good lesson that day.
What makes you unhappy? The fact that our country is so admirable to many others, yet we have one of the worst violence and death rates among newborns. It's disgusting.
What do you most dislike about your appearance? My smile, to be honest. It's a long story.
What is your guiltiest pleasure? The dreams I have. Nothing PG-13 or R, just wild and stupid but they make me happy.
What is your most unappealing habit? Belching. Usually happens after I drink a lot of Coke or Dr. Pepper
What is the worst thing anyone has ever said to you? There was this one girl in high school. Said some horrible things about me. She knows who she is, but I've forgiven her.
Which words or phrases do you overuse? Turd
What has been your biggest disappointment? That after almost 3 years my ankle is still bothering me and that I've been to half a dozen specialists who claim to "know it all."
If you could edit your past, what would you change? I'd go back to Feb. 2010 and NOT WEAR HEELS TO CHURCH.
What is the closest you've come to death? Passed out from heatstroke in 7th grade. I turned a not nice shade of blue around my mouth. Bit of not good.
What single thing would improve the quality of your life? To quote The Good Book: Peace that surpasses all understanding
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Coming so close to completing a college degree, considering when I was younger there were so many who thought I couldn't.
What keeps you awake at night? Things people tell me, my friends and what they're going through, my parents and what they're doing
What song would you like played at your funeral? See Holly's answer, and a few others.
How would you like to be remembered? I'd like to be remembered as not being perfect but a positive energy with a contagious personality.
Tell us a secret I don't eat milk in my cereal. The very thought of wet cereal makes me sick to my stomach. Haven't eaten it that way since I was a kid.
When were you happiest? I'm generally a happy person. I suppose one instance is when I learned that the D+ on my transcript wasn't going to ruin my chances of graduating from college.

If we had a dollar....
Holly and Kelly: So, just in case any of you live under a rock, we are twins. Duh. Blatantly obvious. But over the years, during our numerous encounters with various people and situations, we have been asked a plethora of ridiculous, humorous, silly, stupid, and just flat out "what the heck" questions. Here are some of them (by the way, the parentheses after the questions are our mental responses, i.e. we would never say them aloud):
"Are y'all TWINS???" *short pause while we process, then say yes* "Are y'all related?"
(um...if we just said we're twins, then...we're....probably........related.....MMM, we'll give you a minute to think about it...)
"Are y'all sisters?"
"Do y'all ever fight?" (No, it's just puppies and rainbows all OF COURSE WE DO. We're so freakishly alike it's scary; of course our opinions will clash.)
"Do you have the same birthday?" (Not even joking. Although there are twins that don't..i.e. one born at 11:59 and one at like 12:01, etc...but no. We do not)
"Do you all like the same stuff?" (For the most part, yes...but we do have different tastes. For some reason that question just irritates us. Sorry)
"So if I poke your sister in the arm, will you feel it?" (No. Next question)
"Does that whole sister ESP thing work? Like, do you know what she's thinking, or feeling?" (Again...no.)
"Have ya'll ever switched places before?" (What are we, cruel? People have a hard enough time telling us apart sometimes. I'd rather not add to the torture)
"Are ya'll the same?" (Same DNA. COMPLETELY different people. Though we are both extroverts, Kelly tends to be more extroverted and expressive with emotions. Holly is more reserved. Not a bad thing. NEXT).
"Do you all ever run out of things to talk about?" (This is actually a good question. And no we don't.)
"Do ya'll share clothes?" (Hmm....again, let me give you all a minute. You have an instant double wardrobe. OF COURSE we share clothes!)
"Do you like being a twin?" (Gee....)
"I think I would hate being a twin." (You would be quite surprised. It's like any relationship; both parties have to work at it and be willing to make the commitments necessary to keep it steady and strong)
And the best one for last...
"How can I tell you apart from your sister?" No parentheses for this. This is what I say. Holly ALWAYS wears her hair up and I don't. That's the easiest way for someone who is at first getting to know us to tell us apart. When you get to know us a little bit more, our family and friends have different ways of telling us apart. To close, we both LOVE being a twin and wouldn't have it any other way! :]

EtOh....wait?
Kelly: About a week ago, Holly and I were having a talk about...alcohol. What is it about it that attracts people to it? As you all know, we are a year over the legal age in US. I've drank alcohol since I've turned 21 less than a dozen times. Now I'm not trying to brag, but moderation for me is just a preference. When I was in Scotland, my roommates would either go out to clubs/pubs or have alcohol in our apartment. I was a bit shell shocked at first (I refer to such part of the kitchen as "the corner") because in Berea it's a dry campus. You would not believe how many people asked me "how do you survive?" The smart butt in me wanted to say well I'm alive now. But in all honesty being in a dry campus doesn't even phase me.
Ok, now back to moderation. I think that drinking alcohol should be for social events in MODERATION, not a contest or spectator sport. And someone PLEASE explain to me what the deal is with turning 21 and boozing? That just doesn't sound fun to me. At all. It seems in today's culture that's the default thing to do when someone crosses the hump. I think that's why I loved my 21st birthday so much. We were all sober and had the best time. A friend of ours was going to bring a bit of booze but we politely declined and said that at our 21st birthday that wasn't going to happen. Now I'm not totally 100% against alcohol, however I am against drinking just to get drunk and completely losing control. Mostly because me knowing me I am a person that has to be in control. At all times. Now...having said that, Friday night my parents were here and we went to O'Charley's. And yes, I had a margarita. It was quite tasty, but I was in a controlled environment with people that I trust.
This brings me to my last point. A while ago in Sunday School we did a series called "Guardrails" by Andy Stanley. Long story short, but as a Christian I have established a set of guardrails for myself; and yes one of them involves alcohol. Ironically this study was done shortly after I got back from Scotland. While I was there, there were a few situations where I wanted to "fit in" with my roommates. And that would have involved doing things/drinking things I normally don't. But I didn't. I realize now that one of my guardrails is simply avoiding situations in which I might lose control. And I don't regret it. At all. Now if you get something out of this, it's just maybe I don't understand. I really don't understand the point of getting completely out of control with yourself...just to drink and "have fun." I'm serious...WHAT is the appeal?
Holly: Here's my stance on the issue. I am not against alcohol. Period. I think it is a very enjoyable, social, and relaxing thing....when used responsibly. If you want to go home after a long day of work and plop down on the couch with a glass of vino, go for it. If you and some friends want to get together and shoot the breeze over a pitcher of margaritas, have fun. But what I don't understand is what is so appealing about drinking to the point of blacking out, acting like a blubbering fool, and not remembering a single friggin' thing of what went on. On more than one occasion I've had friends tell me "oh one night I'm just going to get totally s***-faced" and I just ask WHY???? Why do you want to risk harming yourself, others, your body, etc?? Not to mention just how quickly things can go south if you aren't in control. Which you aren't, p.s. And I'm with Kelly on this: if you are into that kind of thing and you want to tell me the appeal to it all, please feel free to do so. You will be welcomed with unbiased ears.
Personally, I enjoy a ridiculously fruity margarita every now and then (much like the one I had on Friday). At our apartment we'll have some Smirnoff ices in our fridge once in a while. I think drinking in moderation is totally ok. Not to brag, but I can count on one hand the number of times I've had a drink (an ENTIRE one) since being of legal age. And I'm not saying this to be a stuck-up snob, saying "Oh, well she's too good for alcohol." No. That isn't it. I'm just saying I've made a choice to moderation, which has kept me on track for choosing moderation in other food choices in my life (which must mean I'm doing something right: down 8 lbs since April, w00t). But anyway, next time you call me up and ask "Hey, let's go have dinner and I'll buy you a drink," just say when and where. But if you call me up and say "Hey, let's just go totally lose our )*(^*%&^*&^*&^*^&#*&$^@ and get schnockered and what not", I'm going to have to politely decline.

Trapped....in an elevator
Kelly: So, neither of us were really planning on blogging tonight for any reason. Until....about 20 minutes ago. Our gospel choir (Black Music Ensemble...BME for short) ended in a very powerful way and we exchanged hugs and good wishes as usual on the way out. And like normal, I, along with Holly, her roommate, my roommate and two other girls get in the elevator. As usual, I push the "3" button, but somebody on the other side of the elevator tries to PRY THE DANG DOOR OPEN so they could get in too.
-______________________________________-
Uh....HELLO?! Fact; if you try to PRY the door open, it WILL GET STUCK. Period. Anywho, so the door was open just a smidge, then kept closing, then kept opening just that smidge. And of course, none of us in the elevator had any cell service so we could call campus security, so we had to yell at the people on the other side to get someone to call them. While we were waiting, we passed the time by singing Adele's Rolling in the Deep and making up funny stories about the fact that us being stuck would make a good zombie apocalypse movie. And now I'm going to let Holly tell the rest.
Holly: *smh* When will people LEARN??
Anywho, as we were serenading ourselves with the soulful voice of Adele (and prompting those on the outside to serenade us), the campus police showed up and tried for a few minutes to pry us out, all to no avail. I don't know how the elevator eventually prompted itself to work again, or how the door was opened, but, nevertheless, it was, and all six girls ran out basically screaming and hugging anyone in sight. This ordeal has now officially scared me into using the stairs for a good while. Possibly forever. But hey, it's better for you anyway!
Hope your week is going swimmingly. blessings! :) <3
