fairlightyes, my name is REALLY Fairlight. my first name is Jonathan, but people do not call me this, because I don't answer to that. I know that it really means a clearing with ferns in it and doesn't have anything to do with light, at least not in old english (well, I have since Nora told me so) but I don't care. To me it means exactly what it says, it is one of the names on my actual birth cert, and it is my name.
I am 24. As of March. holy crap. I always said if I lived to be 30 I'd probably live forever and now I am more than 2/3 of the way there. excuse me while I boggle some.
I really did get married when I was 19 to someone that I had known for about a week (kids, don't try this at home!) and it was wonderful. we were legally married at the time we got married and for a little while thereafter. his family treats it as legal, at least his father's side. his mother does too, but she hates me. he really died when I was 21. it sucked. a lot. I am still not okay with it.
more later, as required

And really there is no telling what Mother was thinking. I'm told she spoke so many languages, I'm fortunate I can pronounce my name.
