Just something I noticed...you are not "Parabola"...you are "Parabola949".  There is a distinct difference.

President Mandy is pretty sweet, however.

Just curious, where did that come from?

You keep telling us way too much about you.  Your name is Mandy and you have a twin.  We could totally steal your identity!

True...What is up with all of these paradoxes?

Anyway, does it make a difference whose we steal?  Whose would you prefer we/I steal?

Why do you care about her identity.  Besides, I will probably end up stealing the wrong person's identity...
