How to be Gangster...yo.

As you are all aware, we are possibly the most gangster pair of people on this planet, but we didn't get this gangster overnight. So here are some useful tips on how to fulfill the 'hood' lifestyle. 

((Warning: Following the tips in this post does not guarantee full gangster status, and the authors of this post cannot be held responsible for any gangster violence that result from any of these actions))

Tip #1: Dress like a gangster.

It's very important that your attire is very gangster-like. We strongly suggest some kind of sensible shoe wear, such as Crocs.

Tip #2: Talk like a gangster.

Words such as "Nifty, Immaculate, Magical, etc." should be included in your everyday speech. It will show your fellow gangsters how grammatically savvy you are, and will earn you respect in the ghetto community.

Tip # 3: Swagger.

Swagger is extremely important in the gangster lifestyle. Make sure to be as graceful as a porcupine in a balloon factory. Tripping over things is acceptable when practicing the 'swag'. If you are a 'hardcore' gangster, you should try skipping. (Be warned though, this may be too gangster for most.)

 

 Tip #4: Gang signs.

Gang signs can be used to identify certain members of your 'ghetto' clan. Some of these signs may include the Spock sign, the peace sign, and the more sensitive, "I love you" signal. The bat signal is also acceptable. Make sure to show all gangsters your creative combination of finger positions.  This will impress them and let them know you are looking for potential gang members. 

 

 Tip #5: Money.

Save it in a bank account to pay future expenses such as bills. It's important that you act responsibly with your gangster money.

Exercise these tips daily and maybe soon you will achieve absolute gangster status. If you have any questions regarding our lifestyle, please do inquire in the comments. Peace out, homie G's. Word to your mother.  Live long and prosper. Etc, etc.

A Lack of Disinfectant

Finally, the day we've all been waiting for... and no, it's not Christmas. Or your birthday. Well, it could be your birthday... depending who's reading this. If it is, happy birthday! I'm sorry for not getting you a present, but chances are I really don't know you that well! (You can count this blog post as your present). Anyway, the day we've all been waiting for... the beginning of hottest months of the year, when you swim in your pool/your friend's pool almost everyday, and put off your summer work until the last week before school! It's... SUMMER! (Woot, rainbow! (Isn't it convenient 'rainbow' has exactly the right amount of letters for R.O.Y.G.B.I.V.? (Double Woot! for parentheses within parentheses within parentheses!)))

We wanted to to share what we have experienced at the beginning of this lovely time of year. Some of it has been sad, some of it has been uncomfortable, but it was most of all slightly disappointing! Not really, it's been fun. 

We decided at the end of the school year to give each other small gifts. Caitlin received Wolfe first, a tiny little stuffed wolf, whom she so lovingly named Wolfe. Here's a wonderful depiction: 

 Lauren was given a spray germ-x that resembled a pen; she was extremely excited about it. (No surprise there). 

First, we tried squirting the germ-x out, all excited and stuff... but then... it wasn't working...

We decided to unscrew the top to see what evil thing was blocking our joy.

It..was... empty. Needless to say, we were thoroughly disappointed...

The thing is, the bottle advertised that it had 70+ sprays of Germ-X. Someone had to have sat in the CVS store where Caitlin bought it, and sprayed that Germ-X over SEVENTY TIMES. Darn you, Evil Germ-X Spraying Super Villian!

Well, we're going to go enjoy our summer now! Be expecting more blog posts, hopefully! Oh, and we apologize for the lack of them the past couple of week. Don't harm us!

P.S. Here's a picture of us enjoying summer, in a typical beach-like setting:
