When people ask what I did over winter break, I'll say that I barely escaped being stranded in an airport for 24 hours.

The only thing I still know Alan Rickman from is Galaxy Quest.

My parents had children.

I was related to the Treasurer of the United States Under George Bush the 1st.  She's my first cousin. 

[Papist]

So she is the first child your aunt and uncle had?

[dominicansoul]

lol.  no, she's not my second or third cousin, she's first generation cousin, my dad's niece...

 

..like all politics, her career ended in scandal...she apparently insulted the wrong Democrat and his minions coughed up some charges against her so she lost her position and spent time in that prison Martha Stewart was sent to... lol

I've now seen The Force Awakens four times in theaters - tied with Man of Steel and Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

 

And I'm not saying I'm any longer proud of the other two.

And I'm not sure how proud I am of The Force Awakens either now that I've realized that it's only the first act of a story.

I'm a direct descendant of a Huguenaut leader.
