And proof that sometimes I think things out too much.
1). In my head, James' stepmother is a Jew-ess, as they would have said at the time. Why? I don't know. I think she's the the result of waaaay too many conversations with my brother done in the accent of New York yenta (well really just Linda Richman from Coffee Talk)...and no his belle-mere wouldn't be from New York, but still, this amuses me.
2). James listens to Nine Inch Nails on his iPod. Rene listens to Shakira. Etienne loves the Rolling Stones and Britney Spears, but switches to Mozart whenever someone comes in the room.
3). I accidentally made Rene related to Jesus. (Damn you Da Vinci Code!!) See a long, long time ago, I was searching through lists of French heraldry and found a family name I'm not going to mention now, and thought it would be cool for Crazy!mommy to be of that family, on her mother's side. Descendents of the Merovingians, they come from an area rumored to have once (or still) hold the grail. I mean, like, THE Grail, right? So then it just amused me to put her in a chapel with a big cup on the altar...not Teh grail obviously, but still a symbol of the feminine. And then...AND THEN...that fucking book comes out and suddenly I realize...oh wait...if grail=womb then Rene is....
Shit. Now he *has* to breed.
To make it worse, and infinitly cheesier. If James is a Fitzroy, and Rene is a part-Merovingian...then they are *both* descended of lines of kings.
(None of which equals the Incident of Too Much Research of Pooky's, but I won't go into that now).
I am a GEEK, yay!!!
