“Rae” is not my real name. It’s actually short for “Raefon” which backwards reads: ’no fear.’ It is the name I took four years ago when I was concerned about my son playing World of Warcraft on-line and I opened my own account to find out what the hell was going on. Small aside… he quit playing ages ago… I’m on my second character, have joined a guild and wear T-shirts that say, “Alliance”.
My son and I live in a nice little house in Santa Monica, California. It was much bigger before we got the dogs, but aside from the nightly struggle of ”who gets to lay diagonally across the whole freaking bed” we have enough room.
I did not become a single mother the ‘old fashioned way’ through divorce. Instead, after working 17 hours a day for twenty-two years, I was horrified to discover that I’d forgotten to get married and had my son through artificial insemination. Thank you donor 939, whoever you are.
I still work a lot. I have a great job in television that allows me to get home at a reasonable hour in the evening so I can hear all about everything that went wrong or broke that day.
For some reason I look forward to this.
More later… Rae
