Introduction to Sati

This is my 30-Day Meme. I'll try really hard to remember to post every day.

[I didn't get past day 4. I got stuck on my definition of love.]

Meme Day 1 (October 1st) - Introduce Yourself


Hi. I'm Sati and this is the introduction to my 30-Day Meme. I'm doing this because Ambie told me to, and I love Ambie.


I suppose the basics are 26 / F / UK. U?


I didn't really need to add the "U?", and I rarely speak txtspk, but sometimes I still write that the way I did when I was 14 and first using chatrooms, because it looks like I'm saying, "I'm 26, so f*** you," and that makes me giggle. I'm not sure why, probably because I feel like saying this sometimes. I have to defend my age a lot - half the time people think I'm under 16, and ask me for ID when I'm buying lottery tickets, and the other half they think I'm a 35-year-old soccer mom.

The name I go by is Sati Marie Frost, or sometimes Sati-Marie Frost. My birth certificate reads Sandra Marie Collins Frost, but nobody's ever called me Sandra apart from new teachers on their first day, or my parents when I'm in trouble. It's a conditioned reaction now; every time I hear someone say Sandra I cringe and immediately feel guilty, even when I haven't done anything wrong.


People have always called me Sati or Sandy. I don't mind Sandy, but every time I introduce myself as that, people sing songs from Grease to me, and they always think it's the first time someone's made that joke, so I have to pretend I find it funny. I'm happy to be sung to, but I wish guys would use a little bit of imagination when they do it. Singing Grease songs is not cool. Singing "Born to Run" and putting in "Sandy" instead of "Wendy"...now THAT would be cool.

I don't use the Collins, because double-barrelled surnames are a pain on forms, and if I use it as a middle name people always go, "But Colin's a boy's name!"

I'm adding an Elizabeth to my name, because every woman in my maternal grandmother's line has had Elizabeth as a middle name except me.


I am extremely verbose. In case you don't know what that means, Merriam-Webster online defines it as "given to wordiness". Meaning, I take a lot of words to say things. I could easily make this introduction pages and pages long, but I'll leave that for my next post. And yes, I noticed that I used this introduction to tell you unimportant things about my name instead of important things about my character. Sometimes I'm like that - I kind of sidle up to an issue instead of approaching it head-on. Not often, but now and then.
