ah, let's see, the short version - the nickname snowflake was betowed upon me by a friend round about 27 years ago during a snowstorm with giant flakes falling on the smoky t-tops of my friend's car and paraphrasing shakespeare - all's the world's a mcdonald's, the people are the french fries and the snow is the salt. from that day forward i was snowflake and he was french fry. then - when i made the invitatins for my wedding last year, they looked like parchment scrolls. i used 'cathedral' font. my husband's screen name is siremorgan, so the annouoncements read :
be it known
that on such and such and so on - lady snow and sire morgan wil become lard and lady of the manor....... and i've been using that more than the snowflake nick since., thougn most of my friends just call me snow!
