Sometimes hinge scares me. Yesterday I got a message saying, “Thoughts on penguins”. Penguins are very much a me thing. I know that’s weird but we all have our list of basic fav facts: color, number, animal, drink, you name it and I have a favorite that is intertwined with my personality. If you know me you know penguins, it’s just how it is. I don’t remember how old I was but when my dad first made emails for my sister and me we were very young. She’s two years older so maybe she understood it more and her email was funkychunkymonkey. Even at a young age I was incredibly indecisive and couldn’t figure out what my email should be. It felt permanent, but since then I’ve created tens of emails because I’ve gotten locked out or because I decided I need an email for all of my shopping accounts so that all of my spam goes in one place or I needed to be more professional or I needed a google account strictly for one thing. I have endless emails for absolutely no reason. Anyway with the help of my dad, I finally landed on ilovepenguins and I’ve run with it ever since. It’s typical and I know that’s bad for security reasons but it’s nostalgic and for some reason it makes me feel safe. How could he possibly know about penguins?
