I met Double
at Pleasant Grove in October of 2003. At the time, she was dating the infamous Tbone whom you will meet via
his page. As for the subheading...well...just for the record I'm going to tell the short version of the story:
Double was dating Tbone. Tbone started calling me on the phone and asking me out. I refused because he was dating
Double. Then he read her prayer-journal (with the knowledge that it was her prayer-journal). She broke up
with him. He continued pursuing me. I finally broke down and said yes. Double and I had some trying
times after that. We won't go into some of the painful things that happened to both myself and Double in 2004 both while
I was dating Tbone and after the relationship was over, but we've been through it. It is a miracle that we've been able
to salvage our friendship despite all that we have been through. We cannot get involved with Tbone anymore at all.
When I was around him, he told me lies about Double. When Double was around him, he told her the exact same lies about
me. We got together after a long healing process, compared notes, discovered his lies, and kicked our relationships
with him to the curb. End short version of story.
When we
first met, we got to talking and it turns out that it's almost as though we were twins seperated at birth or something.
The people who know us best do not think that we look alike, but everyone else does. We have similar hair color, we
both wear glasses,and we sometimes share a brain...
Double
is currently studying to become a military chaplain. Be in prayer for her as she works towards this goal because I know
that it is important to her. While I would feel somewhat lost without her here in Dawg-country with me, I would never
deny her the joy of fulfilling her dreams.
Love ya, Double!
Our sayings:
"We should
do stand-up comedy together."
Double-
"When I woke up this morning, I bumped into my mirror and thought it was her (pointing at me)."
Me- "When
I woke up this morning, I bumped into her (pointing at Double) and thought it was my mirror."
"We are
Double Trouble Incorporated!"
"I keep meeting myself
coming and going..." (When we meet each other)
"When we hear the phrase
"political parties", we think of a bunch of lying donkeys getting down with the hee-haw!"
Story Behind
the Name:
Ok...so why do I call
her Double here? Well, we have this new thing, right...we started calling ourselves Double Trouble Incorporated Publishers.
She's Double, I'm Trouble, her best friend is Incorporated, and my best friend is Publishers.
Interesting
Experiences:
Double
and I are always having interesting experiences and moments of extremely hilarious laughter.
We were
hanging out on Valentine's night because neither of us have a boyfriend. We had planned on male-bashing, but ended up
bashing Incorporated instead because she does have a boyfriend and wouldn't shut-up about him or the dozen roses he had given
her. Well, I had a ditzy moment and THOUGHT I was listening to their conversation when Double handed me a
pack of gum and said, "Here...add Jesus to your buddy list." Meanwhile, their conversation was something about
Yahoo! Messenger. Double was trying to give me gum ("Here...") and at the same time telling Incorporated to "add Jesus
to her buddy list on Yahoo!! I took the gum and stared at it, flipping it over and over in my hand expecting to see
a Bible verse or "add Jesus dot com to your online favorites" or something like that...then Double stopped
and said, "It's gum...ok." I was like, "Yeah, I know that...but you said to add Jesus to my buddy list...?"
Then there was the day
that I told her all about Aaron and the golden calf. Aaron and the people of Israel built a golden calf. Aaron bowed down
before it and said, "Holy Cow..." Just then, Moses walked up behind him and said, "Aaron! You know that's just
a bunch o' moo!" So they destroyed the golden calf and worshipped God instead.
That same day, we came
up with our own version of a Chinese song. Ching a ching chong chong do do twa ding a ling a ling ling ling!!
