Seeing Double

Today is Twins' Day Festival! This is an actual festival that takes place in Ohio to celebrate twins! Twins are some of the most interesting duos that you will find, because they have very unique interactions with each other. If you are a twin today, then celebrate with your twin. Especially if you're in Ohio! If you aren't a twin, find someone who you share almost everything in common with and spend the day with them being 'twins for a day'. Or something. Dress alike, but not in a creepy way. There is matching and then there is just a whole other level that some people take it to that makes you wonder how they even found those types of clothes in matching patterns.

Anyway, I'm flying out to Wales tomorrow, so I don't really know how I'm going to do my blogging over there, seeing as I will be very busy and have very limited connection to the internet. So here's the deal. I will try as hard as my mind will allow to remember to update daily as per usual, but I'm not going to let this become so prevalent in my thoughts that it distracts me from what I should be paying attention to. IF I miss a day, I will tell you what that holiday was once I get a chance to update. Other than that, I'm sorry if you are for some reason addicted to reading what I think about holidays you've never heard of and I cause some major withdrawal type symptoms. I promise once I get back I'll put you back on the daily dosage.

Thanks for reading!

I Dare You To Read This

Today is Dare Day! Today is a day to challenge and to accept challenges. There are a few ground rules to daring and being dared that I would like to lay down, however.

1) We aren't in 3rd grade anymore. Dares should be things that are hard to do or are widely accepted as impossible. Not something thats just slightly embarrassing. That's weak. (This rule excludes 3rd graders)

2) You can reject a dare. You may want to think about the implications of rejecting a Double Dog Dare. You can never, EVER, under any circumstances reject a Triple Dog Dare.

3) Dares should not be physically harmful to anyone for more than 10 seconds.

Those are about all the rules I have for dares. Otherwise, have at it. Dares are meant to both force someone to do something outside of their usual comfort zone and entertain others. Usually there is no downside as long as at least some structure is adhered to. Today is a great day to do something that you would usually be uncomfortable or scared to do. Jump over that river in the park that looks like you could so make it across in one leap if you got a running start. Squeeze some salted ice in your hand and see if you can hold it longer than your friends current record. Play five finger fillet.*
