Are you like me? There's so many concerts I've been busting to go to, but always never get the chance to because either A. they're sold out and B. I'm four hours from the nearest city. I live in a small rural town in Australia and when a local band plays I get so excited. Heck! When bands at my High school perform I get excited. I guess it's taught me to appreciate any type and form of music that comes along. Anyway, my sister and I were going to go the MKTO concert for their Australian tour. Unfortunately, it fell through due to the fact that we couldn't get transport there. We weren't old enough to drive by ourselves yet (L-plates!). So instead, my sister and I decided to get into the MKTO spirit and cover a song of theirs to celebrate their tour. It was so fun and I have to point out that we swapped clothes for some odd reason. Ahhh... the perks of having a twin! Check it out if you want to and don't forget to appreciate any music that comes along!
Love always,
Rose xo
ps. Also want to say I'm sorry for the clunky writing, it's not my best. The Voice Australia is on tv as I'm currently writing this, it's distracting, and Kylie Minogue is so fun to watch!

Hiiii everyone! I'm back after so many months away. I guess I just lost some inspiration and motivation to keep posting. I have been very inspired lately and therefore I give you......
My sister and I had a casual music jam. The video below is "Not over you" By Gavin DeGraw, and I promise the next video will be of better quality. Once we sort out the memory card and battery problem. Anyway, I just figured that music should be shared and enjoyed. So I dare you to post a video of yourself singing or playing an instrument. Don't have an instrument? Get creative with cups or containers! The thing is, anyone can play music and create art. Art is not to be defined. Just remember that.
Be nice to one another,
Rose

What I get a lot from being a twin.
As a twin I get things a lot that other people don't. Most of the things below don't actually irritate me but I decided to share a few things since it might have happened to you and your twin too.
On top of my list is the spot the difference game. I don't get annoyed with this at all which is strange considering the fact that we stand there awkwardly while people stare at our faces for a good five minutes. It could get a little strange when the person doesn't know you and gets all in your space but otherwise, it's fine.
Second on my list is the question: Have you ever switched places and pretended to be the other twin?
Honestly, it's not that fun when there's no evil twin or rebellious twin in the mix. I don't know about anyone else but I just can't seem to live with the fact that I got someone else in trouble for something I did even if it is my twin. Besides, my friends can tell us apart. Everyone knows that there's always one twin with a bigger rounder face and the other with a small skinnier face. I did switch places with my twin, Grace by accident once. We were helping mum in the kitchen and I took over dicing the onions (which sucks because I always cry no matter how fast I go). So I was dicing the onions peacefully and mum started talking to me but I had no idea what she was talking about. I thought it was because I was a very bad listener. It turns out, she only mentioned it to Grace and not me.
Third on my very long list is also the twin telepathy thing. No I can not read her mind but I would love to at times. Maybe there's a deep dark secret she's been keeping from me all these years, Mwahaha. I think there is something else that's similar to telepathy. Most twins understand each other. A simple nod to each other can mean Get me out of here! or He's super good looking.
Fourthly, is the question: Where's your twin?
This, for some reason, always happens outside the girl's toilets at my school. Grace and I don't have identical bladders and I'm not going to ask her to come to the toilet with me. I think I'm perfectly capable of going to the toilet on my own. However this question doesn't annoy me because it means that my other twin is not forgotten. Just because I'm here doesn't mean I make up for the other twin. We both have different things to offer. For instance, I play guitar and she plays piano. If we were in a band and Grace went missing I couldn't just hop onto the piano and play her part. Although Grace can also play guitar, I am terrible at piano. Somehow, I can't get my right hand to coordinate with my left and the PEDAL?! Yikes.
Last on my list is the typical manner of getting called the other name. It's common nature and you can't avoid it. Even two unrelated people get called a name other than their own. Yes, it's nice to be greeted by your name but is it really that bad to the point that you have to shout out "THAT IS NOT MY NAME!"?
I think the conversation is more important than the starter. Unless, you're dating of course but that's another story.
That's my top five. If anyone has anything else that comes up regularly comment on this post, I'd really like to hear and maybe it might be something that I've missed out.
