 * my name is eira. it's welsh and it means 'snow'. i was born in december. eighteenth of december, to be exact. so there was already piles of snow outside the hospital that i was born. according to everyone in my birth room, they become poets and proclaimed me to be "as white as snow." there's also the fact that everyone is welsh as hell. so i'm eira. pronounced 'AY-ra'. ay as in the way americans go ayyy at everything. ra as in the first syllable in rug. you'll figure it out.


 * everyone oohed and awwed because baby! smol and precious and cute for the only time in my life. my mom noticed that my tiny cheeks were pink. obviously that stood out because of my pale skin. she always wanted a daughter born in june. she says it all dreamily, too. "because of the june roses!" too bad she couldn't have conceived me earlier, so i was born in winter. anyway, she saw the patches of pink on my cheeks and declared my middle name to be rosemary. she's korean-american, and she has a thing for those dainty old-timey names. so now i'm eira rosemary blair.
