Do you miss being in the loop? Or is it perhaps nice to not know?

You're off to a great start with your kana! I've been studying Japanese 15 years and my handwriting's still terrible. Fortunately there weren't many times that mattered when I lived in Japan. People were continually amazed I could use chopsticks, so the bar for impressing anyone was very low.

I have to ask about the 'sewing' in your username. If that's one of your hobbies, it sounds like a potentially prickly one with narcolepsy. Have you ever stuck yourself during an episode?

Have you ever been to Japan or would you like to go? I know that takes a lot of preparation with a service dog, but you might find it the ideal place for being a narcoleptic if you don't want people to notice too much or make a big deal of it. It's not unusual for residents of bigger cities to have to step over someone sleeping in an odd place, or to have someone sitting next to them on a train conk out on their shoulder or lap. I didn't spend much of my time in the city, but after a few visits I wondered if my body exerted an exhausting gravitational pull on others, given all the times I ended up being slept on. :)
