I'm very proud of the fact that when talking about them, I have never said, "the twins". I've always used both of their names because I've never felt two people should be lumped together like that.<br /><br />Twins are very definitely different people. More often than not, their personalities aren't very similar. Sure, there may be some similarities in likes and dislikes, but no more than any other siblings. You just can't grow up with someone and not be influenced similarly because you've shared so many of the same experiences. Nothing whatsoever to do with being a twin... ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021111758811047864.post-77141337488650467642009-07-31T15:23:38.874-07:002009-07-31T15:23:38.874-07:00I'm sure Lynette would love to commiserate wit...I'm sure Lynette would love to commiserate with you (and probably has). The worst bit I've been privy to was when an old friend of Lynette ended up later dating and marrying her twin and his mother said "oh, he fell in love with the face and married the twin" or something like that.<br /><br />So lame.<br /><br />Good luck.Okiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393689307300304035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021111758811047864.post-86414335022666849972009-07-30T10:42:45.696-07:002009-07-30T10:42:45.696-07:00Amber I'm glad you could rant; and some where ...Amber I'm glad you could rant; and some where that said person won't read it because I do think that it would hurt her feelings. I love you too! And just to set some thing straight, I love being your sister, Twin or not. I am closer with you then anyone else in the family because we had to go through so much together.<br />It has pulled us apart and brought us together. If there is anything I can do to make things easier just let me know (because you know I like being a twin, and I can take things to far). And I totally agree with Jill, Grant is now your other half, significant other, and I say good luck to Him! I love you dearest, always and forever!Irish Roxshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833490938962260131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021111758811047864.post-86136281042043836012009-07-29T09:59:07.435-07:002009-07-29T09:59:07.435-07:00Thanks, yes she knew/knows and she is really good ...Thanks, yes she knew/knows and she is really good about it. <br /><br />The thing is what MOM would know what to do? Your friends LOVED being twins, I'm sure more love it then not.. I'm just an odd ball I guess.<br /><br />I may get a little rankled at times but I do understand, now anyway and like I said this person had already stepped on toes before so thats probably why I reacted so harshly.

I am sorry...I didn't even know you were a twin. I am sorry it has been so hard. I have friends who dream of having twins, and I truly hope I don't. Although I only thought of it from my perspective of being hard enough to have one at a time, not sleeping much at night. I can only imagine I would get no sleep with two at a time. <br />I hope I never offend you or any twins. I grew up with identical twin boys in my neighborhood who loved being twins. They played so many April fools jokes. Now they are married, built identical houses right nest to each other, one bought a lawn mower the other bought a snow blower. <br />My sister is 7 years older than me and if my picture were in black and white people would think we were twins, and I always hated looking like my sister so I can imagine sharing everything was really hard on you. Does your mother know how you feel? I can't imagine that she wouldn't have tried to help you out a little if she knew how much you hated sharing everything.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681128060010099230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021111758811047864.post-63305797424465926432009-07-29T09:46:46.211-07:002009-07-29T09:46:46.211-07:00Oh Jillie-Bean *hugs* You're such a sweet gir...Oh Jillie-Bean *hugs* You're such a sweet girl. I love and miss you so much!!<br /><br />I was trying to get across that YES twins are just like sisters, we're not really that different then normal sisters, we just came at the same time! Thats why I don't understand why we get/got treated like the same being.<br /><br />Yes I had a couple people tell me as soon as they saw that they held their breath waiting for me to respond. <br /><br />I had an AWESOME come back too, it wasn't even that rude it was like<br />"Since when does being a twin equate to being a heinously ugly literary character" Something like that. Grant and Allysen both talked me out of saying it though.<br /><br />And to be fair that was the nicest thing I could think of at the time.<br /><br />for the record you never did treat us the same, and I thank you. Yes now that we are apart it's easier, though I do miss her greatly.<br /><br />Last note: I do try to make the most of my birthday, but it still takes the back seat. <br /><br />Its ok though Grant makes me priority and thats all that matters.The Gramber Bieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02036295063561257159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021111758811047864.post-4896817878789689302009-07-29T07:07:17.403-07:002009-07-29T07:07:17.403-07:00Okay, So I knew from the second I saw that comment...Okay, So I knew from the second I saw that comment you were not going to like it. I always knew how sensitive you were about being a twin and I remember several conversations we have had about it through the years. Because of this experience I hope I have never treated you like you were supposed to be the same, I hope. You're not. I know you two are far more opposite than the same. I think people just like to use it as a cop-out answer. As if to say, well that proves it than...they're twins. Totally original.<br />You should also know that looking back on my childhood, my sisters and I all dressed the same, had the same pjs, slept in the same room from the time we were born til we graduated...some of the things you noted as being twins is more just being sisters. Of course my mother may have just been really weird, you never know. (She may have secretly wished we twins?)<br />Don't worry though Amber because I think the majority of the world considers you as an individual now. Your other half has become Grant not Ally. Besides with Ally being so far away, not many even have to know you're a twin anymore, just that you have sisters. <br />I am sorry that she offended you. I hope you felt better for your rant and I don't think its bad to remind this individual of the problems that come from forgetting such an important subject to you. And as a very important note... you shouldn't neglet your birthday, its a very important occasion. Everyone should want presents and I think you should be concerned if you don't really agree!<br />I love you and miss my dear friend. Don't worry though cause Utah is not off our list yet. We may be neighbors...eventually.Eric and Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653745349651615671noreply@blogger.com
