This past weekend, Dem Twinz and Co. were in my hood for Pride. There was so much fun to be had and so many lessons learned. Below is my top 9 (not 10), the cream of the crop:

01. Forget the carrots and dip. Nothing makes people happier than cupcakes. With individually Pride-colored icing.

02. Never plan a party, go for dinner or a club without Emy. In fact, don’t leave the house without Emy.

03. After the 05 fall tour, I was lead to believe that Tegan was the dancing queen of the two. WRONG. Sara showed me some of her moves (which mostly consists of butt/hip wiggling) and well, a new champion was crowned. (**note to Sara: Tegan says “BRING IT”)

04. It’s the Lword-way or the highway.

05. Apparently if you are standing in line, and a bunch of people cut in, it’s not called “budding in” - it’s called “budging in” and people who “budge” are called “budgers.” So says Quinnipedia.

06. 15 hour long parades just aren’t long enough.

07. Remember when Sara fell into the lake?

08. If Sara falls into a lake, don’t call Tegan. TEXT her.

09. In case you were wondering if you were a certain someone’s type…Ask me. I am an expert.
