i forgot to explain (maybe) the most relevant thing: my name / handle. my name is sophia, handle is a*gapa (ay-gah-pah).
basically, gapa is a Polish card game my babcia's (grandmother) family made up. it's a two-player game that requires the players to pay very close attention to what's going on -- if they don't, they are more likely to lose the game. my handle is the English prefix "a-" (meaning "not") + gapa because i like to pay close attention to everything... meaning i am not like gapa (someone who misses things, fails to observe, etc.)
i also missed a bunch of musicians so... here is a spotify playlist i made:
