Singing: I am a singing fool. I can be seen singing in my car, my home, the grocery store, and anywhere else I can make a fool of myself. Honestly, I don’t know what I would do without singing in general. It makes me so happy. I have an incredibly large file of memories in my head of practicing songs over and over with friends. Hymns in church. Family participation during car-trips. City, Region, State choir.
Sleep: I have Narcolepsy. I have a hard time waking up in the morning. I crave sleep throughout the day. I can fall asleep in seconds.
Shayna: Best , most beautiful dog ever. Beautiful, Shayna Maydala. RIP.
Savory: I prefer savory to sweet.
Sugartits: Emily & Avi’s pet name for me. Usually referenced in sign language.
St. Seraphim of Sarov: My favorite Russian Orthodox saint. He spoke to animals. He was a cripple. He was creepy. He was the model for the character Father Zosima in Dostoevsky’s Brothers Karamazov.
Sisters: I have two, both younger. I miss them.
South: I hate the South in general. I think a lot of this stems from hot summers of my childhoods and long car rides with motion sickness to places like Lampassas, TX or Edmond, OK. I would like to explore more of the South and hit up New Orleans, Savannah, Atlanta, etc. There is something magically, voodoo-ishly interesting to me about those places. I think I might even respect my half of the nation if I explored a little more of it, instead of insisting that I am in the Oasis (Autin, that is) if the entire South.
Spanish: You should learn it. I didn’t. Well, I took it in 2nd grade, 3rd grade… dabbled in it again in High School. I just don’t particularly like Spanish. However, it is going to be the main language in America, so I need to buckle down and get this over with. Rojo, Amarillo, Verde….
Sincere: Most people aren’t. This FACT is disconcerting. And it makes me sad because people are shitty.
Sincerely,
Irene
