Tonight I'm sitting in my kitchen with my brother Josh. I'm telling him about all the work I have to do this weekend meanwhile he's doing different poses. Why I have no clue and apparently neither does he. He's saying, "I'm not sure what I'm doing right now." Then he laughs to himself. He really loves to draw. Actually that is his major, art. Many moons ago, he was explaining to me why he wants to become an art teacher. He told me, "I really like looking at other peoples' work rather than doing my own. People tell me I give great feedback on somethings other artists need to work on." Which I think is true. He is very neutral about everything. Keeps a calm head all the time, I envy him sometimes. I always blow up when I'm angry or shut down. Great way to cope huh. Sometimes as an artist, Josh gets into these funky moods where he feels his work is not good enough. He sees artists' work who are 14 years old with this amazing talent. Then he thinks of himself as this 19 year old kid who's drawing skills cannot compare. I hate when he does that! I don't even want to talk to him. In my mind I think, " Hey at least you found what you love and you're doing it!" There is so many people on this planet without a clue on what makes them happy. They go through life trying to discover it and he found it. Then he somehow gets out of his funky mood, and he's Josh again. Usually he's the one always giving my other siblings and I a pep talk. Honestly out of all of us, I believe Josh is the smartest one. Right now he's drawing...again... telling me to do what makes me happy. I wanted to post some of his work, but he felt uncomfortable so he didn't let me >.< but he did tell me that soon he will let me! Stay in tune for more!

We are on our way to the Getty's Museum!
I always catch him taking a cat nap >.<


Bright and early Christmas morning!
He took dance classes one year haha
Just a random picture I took when we were together.
He always has the same smile ;)

Triplets huh

Hi, I'm Anissa, Anii for short because sometimes people have a hard time pronouncing my name. I like Italian food and long walks on the beach... just kidding >.< actually I don't like going to the beach that often. Hate being in a bathing suit (self conscious image) Most of the time the beach is crowded with people and my sandwiches taste like sand YUCK! I do like going to the beach when it's overcast with the sun playing hide and seek with the clouds. That's a perfect day! What do you think? My blog is going to be about my adventures as a triplet. And other triplets I've met. So far I've meet two other sets of triplets in my life time. Shocker huh! -_- Most of the time when someone learns I'm a triplet, it's a really shocker. I know it's not everyday people meet someone who is apart twins let alone a triplets. They say something along the lines of, "WHAT you're a TRIPLET! I didn't know that!" Then usually I say something (in a shy voice) like, "Yeah, I'm a triplet ." Or I just nod my head. Automatically they assume that we are all identical because that's the next question that frequently comes after. I imagine when people find out I'm a triplet, in their heads they imagine three of me running around somewhere. How crazy would that be?! Then I break the news that we are not. By this time people lose some interest in the fact that I'm a triplet. My guess is it's much more awesome to look the same which I completely agree. Often times I don't go out of my way to tell people that I'm a triplet because I think I don't like the attention that comes with it. Don't get me wrong I think it's cool I'm a triplet and the attention I get is not a lot but still if I can avoid the attention all together I rather not announce it to the world. The next questions I receive are, " What's it like being a triplet? Can you read each others minds?" "No we can't read each others minds." Then I proceed to think back to a time where I can read one of my siblings minds. "Mmm nope,nothing comes to mind. " Honestly I have no idea where this question come from. Maybe somewhere in the world a very small amount of twins and triplets can read each others minds but I have yet to meet one. I wouldn't like to read my brother and sister's  mind any who. God know what they are think and I believe it's vice versa. What ideas and thoughts you have are yours and yours only whether your a triplet, twin or none of the those. When people ask me what's it like being a triplet, I have no idea what to tell them. In my family I have an older brother then it's the three of us. My oldest brother is my best friend and it's kind of odd because technically I'm the "baby." So when I'm trying to answer this question, I tell people, "Imagine (if you have other brothers and sister) all of your sibling and you being born at the same time. That's what being a triplet is like." Now this point of view is coming from a girl who is a fraternal set of triplets. My fellow siblings and I don't look the same. If we were identical it would be a different story...I think. Everytime I see twins that look the same, I'm so amazed! I remember being in kindergarten with identical twins in my class. I didn't know I was a triplet at the time because my mind couldn't comprehend this idea. When I saw these twins in my mind I said to myself, "Why is there two of them?!" I thought it was the coolest thing in the world, still do. I have met triplets that are identical. They are the cutest things in the world because they all look like David Beckham. So CUTE! But that for another time. This the end of my first offical blog. Stay in tune for more :)
