Sure, I can walk over that way at lunch.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Being adopted throws my personal ancestry into question and I've never been interested enough to look for answers, but I know all my dad's family emigrated from England, Ireland, and Scotland in the the 19th century, and I know one of my Mom's great grandfathers came over from England in 1858.

I know the first of my grandfather's family landed in St. Pierre in 1799, but I am not sure where in France they came from. We all thought St. Malo, but someone told my aunt they may come from the Pyrenees.
The rest of my family are a mix of Irish, French and maybe native intermarrying that happened in Newfoundland. A lot of them were fishing folk and went where the fish were, so tracking them down in records can be a bit of a nightmare.

Punishingly Intricate
Some of my father's people were definitely here in Revolutionary War times (and for a good long time beforehand). This guy is an ancestor:

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

You ROCK like a rocking thing what rocks.
I don't know how far back my family goes in this country, at least to Civil War on my mom's side. My dad's side is mostly (if not all) German Jewish, and mom's is English/Irish/French/Italian/Scottish/ish/ish/ish.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just met a coworker who was wearing Scrabble tile earrings of her initials. Cute! I know there are people here I can be friends with, I'm just not sure how to make that happen...

Art Crawl!!!
On my father's side the most recent immigrant is his great-grandfather who came over from England in 1832. The earliest was, I think one of the folks on the Mayflower. The earliest Keay was John Keay who was exiled from Scotland in the 17th century.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm just not sure how to make that happen...
Keep going over to their desks and talking to them about random stuff. Suggest they start a wiki.
Wait...no...that's just weirding me out.
Today the role of ita will be played by the cowgirl. I think I'll be breaking in the boots this weekend. Are they really a weird thing to wear? A weird thing for black people to wear? I got an extended strange look in Coffee Bean.

Mom's family can be easily traced to three people on the Mayflower, one of whom fought the first recorded duel here. We are a grumpy people.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Jesse, ask them where they go for lunch. Is their desk nearby? Go by sometime and say you are going out for a coffee/soda, do they want anything.
