A Bliggity Beginning

When I told my sister I wanted to start doing this she literally squealed and said, "you're starting a bliggity blawg!!" So yeah, here I am, in all my bored glory. My little bliggity.

Maybe I'll start by answering a couple really really important questions that everyone wants to know the answer to.  

1. What song am I listening to right now: So Much to Say (Live from Worcester) by Dave Matthews Band.  Dear world, it is very much possible to love DMB and not be a pothead nor a flower child nor a super annoying wannabe hippy. Am I being too aggressive in my passivity? (My little sister sent me this song via Spotify).

2. Who is my little sister: She is called my sister best friend for many many a reason. Her name is Slim Thug. Her second name is Meghan. 

Our mutual characteristics:

• Guys, we literally have the same mind. 
• Fear of being like the rest
• Not wanting people to feel unappreciated and awkward and lame...because we are awkward and lame and we know how that feels/sucks... this effort usually makes things more awkward and lame
• Our eyes get really red when we cry, which isn't so often. 
• I really can't emphasize the same mind thing enough.
• Random thought: One time, during a really long family road trip, we challenged each other to pick our top 5 favorite movies. Believe this or not, we literally had the same 5 movies picked. IT WAS SERIOUSLY SO FREAKY!!! (1. 500 Days of Summer 2. Garden State 3. Perks of Being a Wallflower 4. Pride and Prejudice 5. Silver Lining's Playbook. If there could be a 6 it would be 10 Things I Hate About You or Pocahontas).

Our differences:

• She is my second mom sometimes. Constantly helping me do petty tasks. Constantly, telling me when I'm being stupidly reckless and stupidly saying things I shouldn't. Constantly my advice lady. 
• She somehow manages, like, a 4.3 GPA. Like hi are you human. 
• She is the worst driver I have ever met. Too soon, Meg?

The Most Important Thing About Us:

• We have the same taste in music. 

(If you ever asked Meghan and I what the best song in the world is, we wouldn't even look at each other. Just respond in sync "Sweet Disposition." The Temper Trap. Check it.)

Thinking about it now, it's probably one of the strongest things that pulls us together. Can you think about all the times you totally bonded with someone, driving in your car, with all the windows down, both knowing every single word to a song, and belting it out at the top of your lungs? Okay so doing this twice a day with someone you really love and songs that are really unique and amazing and no one else knows them, is probably that feeling on steroids. 

We also have an ongoing spotify message that pretty much gets updated daily, and thank God. I know you want in the loop. 

A Little Game Meg and I Play: "Airplane"

• In the horrible Midwestern winter, on our way to any fun event (usually St. Joe High basketball games), we roll down the windows, and we stick our arms out (like airplane wings) for the entirety of the song and, obviously, scream the lyrics the whole way through. If you can't bear the cold and bring your arm back in the vehicle (Moo Cow) you lose and you get screamed at the rest of the way. "You literally suck." And then throughout the whole basketball game, we make eye contact and instantly bond about how our hands are still frozen. 

I'm not going to tell you what a tunnel song is. Some secrets are just for us. Just humbly know, it exists. 

So there. Not to leave out the rest of my 5 siblings or anything....at least you have that to look forward to!!

So there II: My first bliggity blawg, dedicated to my one and only, and my little lovey, and my slim thuggy. 

I'll love you forever, and I'm loving you now.
