Questionnaires: PeePee Pitronaya

Each year we send out a Questionnaire to semi-celebrated people. We ask them to answer the same questions (with some exceptions). Our second for 2025 was completed by PeePee Pitronaya, ballerina.

What makes you happy?
When I can spin and jump on my toes and land without falling during a performance and not experience nausea followed by vomiting.

What trait do you admire about yourself?
I have searched the pit of my soul and meditated on such self-reflection many times and on hallowed ground but I am yet to discover any distinguishing feature of my personal nature which I do not admire.

What is your favorite classical ballet music piece?
Le Pew Da Poo. Few know it but no one hears it and then forgets it and many people who have heard it find themselves whistling it while using a toilet.

What is your greatest resentment?
A comment from a person whom wants to make out with my knees. And those whom cannot cook eggs over without making the yolk hard.

On what occasion do you lie?
When I sleep.

Orange or apples?
Citrus is toxic. Apples are cursed. I will live without eating either. If you asked bananas or cherries I would have said watermelon. You get it, right?

Who are your favorite dancers?
My mentor is Lena Kashmyoski but I cannot prove it.

How would you like to die?
Who wants to die in any manner? There is no way to imagine a world without me. Especially if I'm the one trying to imagine it. I danced out of my mother's womb. I can dance with or without music and sometimes I think I can dance without legs or with someone else's legs but then mine would be the main legs and the most beautiful of the two pairs.

When do you experience utter peace of mind?
Are you not listening to me? Can't you answer that question by now?
