My name is Sarah.  I'll be 27 this month, on the 24th.I grew up in a smallish town called Waterford in Michigan, about 45 minutes from downtown Detroit.  I have one older brother who tormented me from the time I was born until the time I was about 16 or so - then we became the best of friends.  My parents stayed unhappily married until my brother and I were out of the house, then divorced when I was about 20.  My childhood was pretty happy though, and pretty normal. I never participated in anything in school ... I had a good group of friends and knew a lot of people, but I wouldn't consider myself one of the popular kids.  My senior year, my peers voted me "most unique".  In fact, I was the only one nominated for the position.  I'm still not sure if that's good or bad.Around 16, I discovered The Grateful Dead and became what most would call a hippy.  Though I was late into the scene, I did actually get to see Jerry play, 2 months before he died.  The next couple of years were spent with me working at a head shop for just enough cash to pay my rent and get me to as many shows as possible.  I stopped shaving, dreaded up my hair, got all kinds of piercings and tattoos ... my dad was so proud.I was engaged briefly, at the tender age of 17, to a boy who broke my heart.  Immediately following the break-up, I discovered Ani DiFranco, who, honestly, changed my life.  Her music just spoke to me, gave me exactly what I needed at that point in my life.  I absolutely adore her, and in fact, just saw her live two weeks ago, for the 17th or 18th time.  At 19, I met an older guy (28) who successfully wooed me into marriage.  I found out when I was pregnant with our first child (which was conceived on the honeymoon) that he was not exactly the man I thought he was.  We had our first child, a girl by the name of Lilith Rain, on June 30th, 1999.  In early 2001, I found out that I was pregnant again, this time with twins.  Anya Quinn and Kaia Blue were born on November 27th, 2001, after a very difficult pregnancy.  My husband and I seperated 8 months later.  That was three years ago. Since then, I have become involved, and live with, the man of my dreams.  He's also the person who introduced me to gaming and turned me into a full-fledged geek.  We play almost every week with a great group of guys that we met, in a round-about kind of way, through ENWorld.  Currently, I am a stay-at-home mama, going to school full time to become a high school english teacher.  The dreadlocks are gone, the piercings are out ... but I still don't shave.  So nyah.</blockquote>
