I still can't wrap my head around "Nameless, Faceless".
How in the world do you call your boss (you know, the man who ended up being left by his wife because he's a workaholic) twice in the middle of a case and just pass it off as a particularly powerful nap? And not just one of the unit, but all six of them.
BTW when I saw your comment notification in my email I saw you spell your name THE EXACT SAME WAY AS ME. /is excited
If you don't mind me asking, what excuse did your parents give you for an unnecessarily long spelling of a common name?
I think the only logical response to their rationalization is Seth and Amy from SNL: "OH MY GOD, ARE YOU SERIOUS!?! REALLY!?!"
LOL I always get excited when I meet someone with the same spelling as me! "Megan" just looks.. sort of unfinished, IMO.
Weird/long story - My Mom claims that I named myself. I was 2.5ish months premature and she thought I was going to be a boy, so I didn't have a name for a reeeeally reeeeally long time. My Grandma wasn't going to stand for an unnamed grandchild, so she bought a book, and my Mom picked out a bunch of names then went down to the NICU.
Apparently, she read out a bunch of names, and I cringed at every name until she got to 'Meaghan', at which point I squeezed her finger.
So, realistically, I was probably named Meaghan because I had gas. It makes a nice story, though.
(Although she chose the name in the first place because of the "strong pearl" meaning.)
I agree on the "Megan" thing, though I think I prefer "Meghan". That second A is just...superfluous. >_>
I've never actually met someone with the same spelling as me. I mean, I knew it was out there, but I just didn't know anybody.
See, for me I have an older brother named Michael. So, when I was born, my mom said my name had to start with M, be seven letters and be Irish. So...yeah. -_-

Your story is much better than mine, lol.
I am so disproportionately excited right now. XD
