The Terrible Life of a Twin

Yes, a twin. I am a fraternal twin.

I get so tired of people exclaiming "that's so cool!" with that disgusting idiotic tone that spews from their lips like poison. It is not cool. Not cool in the slightest. She has been the plaguing my existence since the day we were conceived. You think that is cool? Oh, such a fool, she stole my nutrients since day one! Sure, she had the terribly awful feet, but I was born with the underdeveloped lungs which caused me to grow quite ill. I believe she has been plotting my extinction since the very beginning..

When you are born a twin, for some reason their follows a belief that you should have to share absolutely everything- just because we shared a birthday.
I shared a birthday cake for the first 11 years of my life. You know how lame that is? We don't even like the same types of cake!
We always got similar toys, similar clothing, and for a while similar haircuts.

But get this: even then we were so unalike that no one knew until one day in kindergarten we both wore duck sweaters our grandma had knitted us (*cue the 'awws'*).

Even when we were wee-little children we were easy to tell apart. So it astounded family members when other parents would ask, 'how can you tell them apart?'. I believe that having the label 'twin' patched on me permanently, causes a lot of confusion (A lot of stupidity).


We have never looked the same, even since birth:
-I was smaller and had a rounder face, while she had an oval face.
-My hair was thicker and wavier, with ringlets forming occasionally. She had thin hair that tended to lay more flat.
-My hair was always dark, while hers slowly darkened.
-I tended to remain pale year-round, while her skin would tend to change throughout the seasons.
-My teeth were straight, while hers remained crooked.
-My eyes were darker, and I needed  glasses at an earlier age.
-I have always been shorter

Not to mention, we grew up completely different:
-She's a star athlete, while I lack in any athletic ability.
- I was a quick learner, and grew quite literate at a young age, while she remained incapable of reading until grade four.
-I was a musician and had a good ear, while she seemed unable to even pick up an instrument.
-I was creative, and an individual. Excelling on my own, while she excelled more through careful teaching.
-We have different tastes in music
-Different work-ethic
-Different clothing styles

Most people who meet us don't even realize we are related, and the more we have grown the more different we have become.
For the most part we don't even get along, I'm sure if we didn't share blood we wouldn't even acknowledge each other. It is very unlikely we would ever have been friends.

I guess the only good part about being a twin?
People not believing it. 

Alpaca- Spawn of Demons

Have you ever been so terrified of something?
It haunts your nightmares, causing you to lose precious hours of sleep, and drives you to the brink of insanity?
It may be something like spiders, insects, sharks, cannibals, monsters, killers- the list goes on.
I have a fear (unbelievable, I know), just like the rest of you . A fear that causes sleepless nights, and leaves me shaking in the morning.
These quiet beasts, believed to be tame- I see their true intentions. I see the devious minds behind those dark eyes, the plotting creatures ready to make a move.

Alpaca- Spawn of Demons

 I know some of you may snicker, laugh at me. If only you saw what I saw- Just look at it! Those big, beady eyes, quite alike to Colonel Sanders. The enlarged cranium, I know something is hiding there, allowing them to plot.
They are mischievous, pretending to be no more than a curly haired four-legged 'tame' beast.
They seem so innocent, and then you turn around and you're entire sweater vest is gone!
WHAT-HO?
But they just keep watching you with that vacant expression.
If they could laugh... I believe it would resemble the noise emitted by a toad when it is being held upside down by its little toady- legs.
Awful.
There isn't much more to say... but these things... they have been slinking through my nightmares since  I was 7.
Just look at it... and tell me how you feel.

An Informal Introduction

Greetings blog-stalkers (readers), and welcome to my blog,
For some, this will be a mysterious and wonderful experienceô, as it allows you to delve in to the mind of an oddball.
I suppose an introduction is in order?
My name is Marina, I am  a student, and yes, I am a female. At the moment, I am gearing up for my inevitable escape from my hometown. This place- more the people in it- has been driving me insane. I just can't take it anymore. I am ready to become a part of a bigger world, and not be constrained, stuck here forever.
I guess I should talk about some things I like, to give you a small idea of how normal, or abnormal I am.
I like music, it is something I cannot live without. I play a couple of instruments including violin, piano, and guitar (strings involve less spit then other instruments which means less germs), and usually always have my headphone in one ear as I maneuver through a normal day. Music is my life, and I believe it is something that everyone needs to function at one point or another.
I am a gamer (and a basement dweller), yes, I am female and I play video games. I thouroughly enjoy Bethesda games, like Fallout and Skyrim. Other games that are awesome enough to be referenced are Valve games (Portal, Half Life and TF2), as well as games like Assassins Creed, Bioshock, JSRF and hell, Beautiful Katamari. There are many more, but I assume you get the point.
I love books and movies, and I could go on about books, but that may take too long. There is nothing I enjoy more than sitting down with a cup of tea and reading a book. My love of movies is a normal feeling, I know I am not the only one.
Pandas are my favourite animal, closely followed by wolves and other K9 species. Horses, on the other hand scare the crap out of me, same with alpacas (they just have really big craniums and big eyes- what a messed up combo).
I have a twin sister, and and older sister... neither of which are extremely like me.
I suppose that is enough for now.
Those who are interested can learn more about me through reading later entries.


Thank you blog-stalkers.
