which apartment complex do you live in?
i live in kellogg's lofts which is 100% haunted without a doubt. i don't have solid proof, but i wouldn't be surprised if some kind of katch 'em kill 'em message ended up on my fridge and i end up making money off a murder tragedy like the lutz family. it's an idea.
when did you move in?
i moved in very recently. maybe a month ago? i unpacked within hours and i feel like i've been here forever, now. i'm not really sure what it's like to live with parents anymore.
where are you originally from?
i grew up here in ann arbor with my mom and dad. we were originally from egypt.
why did you move here?
because it's affordable for me and i know people in the building so i'm sure i'm not living with a complete bunch of psychos.
who do you live with?
tbd
what kind of neighbor are you?
i'm quiet, awake during stupid weird hours and the one most likely to wipe your door down with disinfectant when i walk past it because neither you or i know who's been touching it.
trivia
MYR IS PROBABLY THE MOST LOWKEY, UNSUSPECTING PERSON THAT SOMEONE COULD COME ACROSS. SHE'S HARDWORKING, RESILIENT AND IS UNAPOLOGETIC ABOUT FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING IF SHE HAS TO BUT IN THE SAME BREATH SHE'S QUIET, HAS POOR COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND HASN'T HAD AN EMOTIONAL OUTBURST SINCE PRINCESS DIANA DIED.
TYPICALLY SHE'S THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO HAS AN AGENDA OF SO MUCH INDEPENDENCE THAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS, SHE'D USUALLY LIKE TO DO IT HERSELF. WHEN SHE ISN'T HOARDING ALL OF HER EMOTIONS INTO SKETCHBOOKS SHE'S SPENDING HOURS WATCHING DIY VIDEOS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THINGS HERSELF. WHY PAY FOR SOMEONE'S EXPERTISE WHEN YOU CAN LEARN HOW TO DO IT YOURSELF?
USUALLY SHE FEELS MOST HERSELF WHEN SHE'S AT HOME, DRAWING OR RAPIDLY SCROLLING THROUGH TINDER FOR QUICKFIRE BANTER THAT LASTS HALF AN HOUR AND ONLY GETS RESUMED 1 WEEK LATER. SHE'S A SIMPLE PERSON, USUALLY TAKING RELAXATION INSPIRATION FROM PEOPLE WHO SIT AT HOME AND DO NOTHING ALL DAY AS THEIR LIVING BUT SHE ALSO LIKES TO BE RIGHT IN THE THICK OF THINGS, AT FESTIVALS AND SHOVING HERSELF THROUGH CROWDS.
MYR IS A JACK OF ALL TRADES, BUT MOST NOTABLY WHEN HER FATHER DIED SHE INHERITED A LUMP SUM OF MONEY THAT NO ONE WAS PARTICULARLY AWARE THAT SHE HAD. WITH IT SHE DECIDED TO START A FOOD TRUCK BUSINESS WITH AN OLDER GUY SHE HARDLY KNEW, AND DESPITE EVERYONE'S PROTESTS AND LACK OF SUPPORT IT TOOK OFF TO THE POINT WHERE IT BECAME FEATURED IN BUSINESS JOURNALS AND PRETENTIOUS PITCHFORK TYPE MAGAZINES. BESIDES THAT, SHE HAS A TENDENCY TO PICK UP ODD MODELING JOBS AND HELP OUT AT HER FRIENDS' STORES IF THEY NEED HER.
ALTHOUGH HER FAMILY ORIGINALLY HAILS FROM EGYPT, HER PARENTS MOVED WHEN MYRTLE WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD AND FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES SHE CONSIDERS HERSELF A NATIVE TO ANN ARBOR. SHE COULD HAVE GONE BACK TO FAMILY IN EGYPT, BUT RATHER DECIDED TO STAY BECAUSE SHE HAD CEMENTED A LIFE FOR HERSELF THERE. SHE WON'T ADMIT IT, BUT THE ONE THING THAT HOLDS HER BACK IS HER MOTHER AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT IF SHE OR HER OLDER BROTHER WEREN'T AROUND, HER ALCOHOLISM WOULD FULLY CONSUME HER AND MYR WOULD LAND HERSELF A ROLE AS AN ORPHAN.
MYR TACKLES LIFE ALTERING SITUATIONS HEAD ON, BUT HER COMMUNICATION SKILLS ARE SO POOR THAT PEOPLE DON'T USUALLY KNOW THAT SHE'S TACKLING THEM. SHE'S STRONG AND HAS A GREAT SENSE OF SELF AND DRIVE WHICH CAN GET HER THROUGH MOST SITUATIONS, BUT IF SOMEONE IS EXPECTING TO SUPPORT HER WHEN THE WORLD ENDS THEN THEY'RE OUT OF LUCK. SHE WOULD DESCRIBE HERSELF AS A LONER FIRST, AND A TEAM PLAYER LAST.
her mother was technically a first generation american-egyptian woman, but moved to egypt to stay with family when she was young. there, she met myr's father only to end up coming back to america several years later. her mother has said that she feels slighted being displaced in america after her husband's death and is constantly making resolutions to save money from her job as a doctor's surgery receptionist but spends it on alcohol instead.
her name was chosen after the maid that essentially raised her mother during her early years in america, and her middle names were decided through an old fashioned process of digging through relatives' names. while proud of her extended name, she rarely ever uses it out of ease and habit.
she was raised rather loosely as a muslim and to this day she is mostly just respective of the faith around her family but isn't outwardly practicing.
can speak both english and arabic as a result of growing up in a bilingual household and can list french as a language she speaks poorly on okcupid but doesn't because she thinks that's pretentious. she would like to learn mandarin but struggles to find the time for it.
