Roughly a year ago, Kyle posted this entry on his blog about his adventures with indoor skiing in Shanghai. The whole post is hilarious, but what will always stick out in my mind is his encounter with the people he dubs "The Glee Twins". The Glee Twins were two young girls who, in true Asian fashion, posed for a number of concept photos, the most memorable of which being the heart pose. When Sara and I read this post and saw the accompanying picture, we decided to make it our personal mission to spread the joy of the heart where ever we went.
Sara and I began to break out the heart for all photo opportunities, no matter how obscure, or how terrible we may have looked. Note this picture: taken after a 4 hour 'hike' through rivers and over rocks back in October. We both look HORRIBLE, but we're hearting, so the picture is fabulous.
People began to question our actions, and when we explained, were quick to jump on the bandwagon. Soon, hearting was happening everywhere and with everyone...
I try to heart with Richard on multiple occasions and eventually pulled something in my back because of the height difference (Richard is almost exactly 1 foot taller than me)...
...but it was just about finding the right position, like sitting down.
I became fond of hearting with married men, which caused
some name-calling from his wife...
...who consequently was left hanging by Sara when they tried to heart, despite being held at sword-point by an evil pirate. Sara has slightly more discriminate taste when it comes to who she will heart with...
...unless it's a heart threesome. Soon, all the hearting started to cause friction in the group. Richard started giving Jeff evil looks for getting birthday hearts when he didn't...
..and marriages were put to the test when I hearted with Jeff and then later in the same day with his wife, Jen. Whoops! Who thought a little photo pose could cause so much trouble?! The Glee Twins started something terrible! Who knows where hearting will take us in the new year?
