would you look at that?
Apparently, according to my father (and thus a bucket of salt) we can trace our ancestry back to ~ 450 C.E through the kings of France. Who knew?
I'm not actually going to go so far as to say I believe all this - however, I will allow that we are related to the Blaisdell line that came over on, like, the Mayflower or some shit. I have no idea. He's all into this genealogy thing. Although, I gotta admit, he has this thing where he has to one up my mother on her research - my mother's research I trust a hell of a lot more than my dad's. For example, in my mother's line, we're all farmers and landholders from Norway. Although, apparently, back in the 1200's we had a noble of some sort. But he was really minor. Then my dad finds his connection to the kings of France. *eyeroll* Sure, Daddy. Sure. The Blaisdell connection is for sure, since his great grandma was a Blaisdell and he's gone out and found all their graves. So that part I trust. It's going back to 450CE that I distrust like woah.
But, oh, the possibilities of bragging rights. And, you know, it would explain the crazy that runs in the family. It really, really would.
*i slept four hours last night. an hour here, half an hour there, until i got up because it was just making me sad. i also had a nervous breakdown yesterday for no apparent reason. himself is kind of freaked out. so am i, i got to admit. this shit should last two more days and then it's detox time and then we'll see if going back onto my regular bc will clear all this shit up. i don't even know, people. i really, really don't. but i also manged to work on some TWD fic, so maybe i just need to channel the crazy into fic related stuff instead of boiling water. or something. *hides* i'm so tired, it's not even funny at this point*
