My brother has always tried to be exactly like me. From my (incredibly poor) sense of fashion to my taste in music, my little brother has tried to be a Cody-imitator. For example, when I stopped wearing jeans, because denim is incredibly uncomfortable, he instantly swore them off to, much to the dismay of our mother. When I got a poster of a band that I enjoyed, he got the exact same poster, albeit a smaller version.
Of course, he is 3 years younger than me, and this stopped about a year and half ago when I moved away. Now, he has started trying to get into the scene scene, and has started wearing denim again, although in the form of skinny jeans. Instead of all that, now I have him read books that I enjoyed, as most of our other tastes have completely split as well. Recently, I got him to start reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. For those of you who enjoy high fantasy and haven't read it, I highly suggest that you do. It is my most favorite fantasy series of all time, although the Sword of Shannara holds a close second.
My sister is kind of similar, although in a different sense. Whereas my brother was like me, and then split off, my sister used to be distant, and has recently become more like me. Five years younger than me, she is steadily becoming the sheltered recluse that I often like to title myself. I'm introducing her to the various aspects of nerd culture, most notably video games and anime. Despite my numerous attempts to get her to read, she refuses, stating that “books are boring.” This only goes to show that she is only a half-sibling, as a full-blooded sibling of mine could never utter such blasphemy.
I am the youngest in my family so I was the one that tried to mimic my sisters. I remember doing many things that my sisters did because I thought they were cool. Now that we are all older, we have kind of become our own people but stayed together as a family.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how youngest always seems to immitate oldest. I think it goes that way just about every time. My younger sister always used to steal my cds and cassetes, some of my cool t shirts, and seemed to mimic my styles. I think everyone becomes their own unique person though after they get older.
