Today I have learned that the local Checkers can't make fries worth a damn and that every day will present a new reason to shoot my computer screen because someone has to go and prove that humanity is not really worth saving.

I just re-learned that my grandpa owned a well respectable buisness.

Zeno's grandfather was a Troop transport driver during World War 2. Great grandmother was also the first test subject for cancer testing involving cryogenics.


Maternal grandpa's uncle was a rumrunner who got shot by the Feds while smuggling booze from Canada across one of the Great Lakes. Same grandpa's mother was a full-blooded Cherokee. Apparently, on her side, I'm related to Bill Monroe, somehow.

On Dad's side, I've been told I'm a direct descendant of Major Patrick Ferguson. I know that my paternal grandparents were Rosicrucians. But that's all I know, except that I also have several veterans (who fought for America), on his side, but I have no names.

My family went through much the same. My great nan's house was burnt down because they thought she was hiding something from them, and my great-granddad was part of the IRA. If you don't mind me asking, I thought you were Scottish, your nation's name is Scotland after all?


Yeah. My mum and that side of the family are Irish, and my dad is Scottish. My mum moved to Scotland when she was 17
