You make it sound like you're disappointed your parents are alive...

As an IMT myself, I thought I'd share my own personal experiences with this. Like the OP said about herself, we too looked a lot more alike when we were younger, and it is now easier to tell us apart (if you know us; a stranger still wouldn't be able to tell a difference). Our relationship is not as close as the OP and her sister are, but from what I've noticed in other twins that I know, sisters seem to get along much better than brothers do. I'm not really sure why that is, but that's what I've seen.

Our relationship is a lot better than it was in high school though; people with older siblings can sometimes relate to this as well, but it's exceedingly difficult to forge an individual identity when you have someone else that teachers and other students always get you mixed up with. We would never switch classes or play tricks like that because we didn't want to make people more confused than they already are. People just wouldn't even try to distinguish us; we both got called by our last name so nobody could ever be wrong when they addressed us. Add that to the fact that we shared nearly all of our posessions (car, bedroom, computer, games, etc), and there was a lot of fighting and being overall angry at the other person.

College was a lot better for us and allowed us to branch out and forge our own identities again, even though we went to the same college (and a small private one at that). This is where we got all the people mistaking us for one another, and I have a few fun stories about that as well. I actually made a few really close friends because they initially mistook me for my brother. Now he's moved further away for grad school, so we don't see each other that much, but we are on good terms. And we actually have fun with the twin thing now, mostly by not telling people we have one and watching their reaction when they find out for the first time.

As a side note, I'm the lefty, and the only one in my entire family (extended or otherwise). We have fake-fights about it sometimes like the one the OP posted. Anyway, that post was longer than I intended but I wanted to share my experiences. Feel free to AmA too?

What specific tumor do you have?

Have you found yourself wanting to do a lot of research or ask a lot of questions to better understand what is going on inside your head, or do you prefer to just let the doctors do their thing?

Do you have a girlfriend? If so, has she been supportive through all of this? If not, when would you mention this in the course of the relationship?

I wonder if the question was actually asking how much a concert costs to produce, rather than ticket price.

When you're having a streak of bad games (if you ever do), what do you do to get out of that rut? Take some time off to regroup? Power through it?
