Ewwwwww. Still sick as a dog. Honest to god, I will look at replies for the last part as soon as dragging my sorry ass to the computer doesn't hurt.

Some quick notes on names:

Alexandrienne is the French feminization of Alexander, both meaning the same thing. (protector of mankind). Honestly, picked it because it was a feminization of Alexander, so the meaning is kind of immaterial here.

Bunmi is a Nigerian name that means my gift.

Liwaza is a Swahili name that means consolation.

Kosoko (Bunmi's husband) is a Nigerian name that means no hoe to dig a grave. 

Oh, and I keep forgetting to mention: All my cut-tag quotes come from Babylon 5. Seems fitting, no?

I'm not OCD. Not. At. All.

( Boom. Boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom. BOOM! Have a nice day... )
