The population of the town is 4,200 people, so it was really, really isolated. It\u2019s a nuclear reactor town. It\u2019s very beautiful; it looks exactly like Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>We always played pretend. We had a TV, but we didn\u2019t have cable, so we didn\u2019t watch it. I wasn\u2019t allowed to play on the computer or anything like that, so it was a lot of going outside and playing with sticks and making up games. I had a lot of books on medieval times and a lot of fairy stories. My grandfather would travel the world, and he\u2019d always bring back artifacts. I spent a lot of time with him, and he had a parrot\u2014he still has the parrot\u2014called Socrates. He\u2019s from Greece. We\u2019d walk in the woods, and my grandpa would tell me it\u2019s like a fairy forest and we\u2019d build fairy houses.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Is there a story behind your name?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>My mother just wanted to give me an interesting name.
