Lol! Its cool! :p

I have a lot of friends in arranged marriages that got married around 18 and 19. They are some of the happiest, most loving/respectful of eachother couples I know.I nearly got married at 17 to a man about 10 years older than me. I'm really glad I didn't though. It would have been a terrible decision. It wasn't an arranged match, exactly, but my Priestess had set us up and encouragged the engagement. She thought he'd make a good husband for a young priestess. I didn't marry him because he had a child with somebody else while we were together. He fell out of favor with my Priestess and the rest of our Circle. Now, last I heard, he's in jail. I'm so glad I didn't marry him! I haven't dated anyone older than me since. Lol! I fear age differences. Haha! 15 years would be huge to me! But, since that's what wwould make you happy, I hope you get your wish! Living in France or the UK would be way cool!!! Although, now that I'm older, I couldn't imagine being married at 18. Once, I thought that was what I wanted. Now, I'm not sure what appealed to me about it. But, like I said, a lot of my friends got married then and, even those that didn't love their spouse whenn they said "I do," are very much in love now and very happy.

Yes, I do. I do a unique form of ballet called Inclusive Ballet, which involves dancing and performing in a wheelchair. (Go to http://www.dancingwheels.org/ to see a company I interned with a long time ago and would like to work with again if I get the chance. I probably won't, since I don't really live close to their homebase. But, they were also my inspiration when I was 4 to start studying dance and they're a really well-known company.) I actually work privately as somewhat of a contract-worker. I get hired for small jobs in little theaters around my city. I also am part of a dance and theatre performance troupe that functions as kind of a mix between a Shakespearean-type theatre troupe, made up of playwrights, actors, and dancers; an improv group; and an old-timey travelling minstrel troupe. That group creates plays from scratch and usually performs them in the park or, if we can get a local theater to host us, in a small theater.
