8 Reasons To Avoid Us

Random Facts about Louise & Alicia

1. We listen to really weird music. Really really weird music. Like Olivia Tremor Control. And Neutral Milk Hotel.

2. We get car sick whenever Van Halen or any other hair/80s heavy metal band is on the radio while we're driving. (More so in Mesa.) It has something to do with our childhood and listening to them while we were car sick.

3. Whenever we see a house that is completely thrashed and falling apart (paint peeling off the sides, missing roof tiles, unmaintained yard), we get really really happy. And take pictures.



4. Candles, deoderants, and perfumes don't come in different scents. They come in different flavors.

5. Neither of us use sheets. We use quilts. We don't know why. It just ends up that way.

6. We do this thing where Louise lays on the top bunk and Alicia pulls a button out of the bottom of Louise's mattress. Then Louise moves and the button is sucked back up into the mattress. And we laugh.

7. No matter how hot it gets, niether of us will take our sweaters off. We just complain.

8. We both watch our feet when we walk. Especially when we wear Converse.

Be There Or Be Square

Louise and Lance will be sealed together for time and all eternity.
Reception in Kearny to follow.

That's all the details I'm giving you so far.
Other than it's going to be amazing!

Our Music Has Moved

We have switched to a new music player and placed the playlist at the bottom of the blog.
The music will no longer automatically start, but we hope that you will take some time to check it out. We try to change the songs every once in a while .
Of course, this means Save Harold! is no longer there. Poor Harold. May he rest in peace.

Apparently We're Weird

Dad: Aren't you guys supposed to be at mutual?
Alicia: It's not until seven.
Dad: (eying the girls sitting on the floor) What are you, weird or something?

(Louise and Alicia shrug. Dad exits stage left. Louise presses play on her laptop and the girls continue singing along to "Space Oddity", with Alicia accompanying on the ukulele.)

Dad: (entering stage left, pointing) See? I told you you guys are weird!

(May we please point out that Dad was walking around with his shirt pulled halfway up his belly?)

Am I Really That Depressing?

Alicia here.
Does anyone else find this weird?
I was on Facebook when this boy (we'll call him Joe) sent a message to me. He was like, "Hey!" and I said, "Hi! How are you?" or whatever and we small talked for a bit. I went to his Facebook page and noticed his status. "Joe is really happy because he made a delicious roast beef sandwich." We kept talking about little things like teachers, classes, and music. We learned that I am two years older than him, he likes dances and I don't, and I think we both thought each other's music was weird, but that was never made clear. About this time I noticed his status changed. "Joe is ok". What did I say? Did I offend him or something? So we kept chatting and a few minutes later I looked at his status again. "Joe is...wow...not as happy as he was before." What?! At that point I made up and excuse and said my good-byes. I have no idea what I did to drastically change his status from "really happy" to "ok" to "not as happy as he was before" within 10 minutes! Maybe I absorb people's happiness. Like a super power or something. Except its not super. It's sucky.

Quote Of the Day, Part 3

Louise: It's Microsoft. They don't want you to have files. Or happiness.

Louise (over loudspeaker): Blaine, line one.
Alicia: He isn't here.
Louise (still on loudspeaker): Oh, pooh.
