He was raised here:
Can you imagine? It's a far cry from this delapidated trailer. The name "Xavier" was later changed to Sevier when the family moved to America, with John Sevier becoming the most well known when he became the first govenor of Tennessee. I'm decended from John Sevier's sister.
I have no idea why I brought this up.
Moving on..
While the Amazon was over in Tennessee Sunday seeing "Pirates of the Caribbean" (no man wears eyeliner as well as Johnny Depp, except maybe Dave Navarro) I settled in and watched "Must Love Dogs" with Diane Lane and John Cusack. I've wanted to see it since it first came out because, well, I need a man who appreciates those shaggy, four legged family members, and the "main dog" in the movie looks a lot like my Ozzy. It turns out, it wasn't really about that. It was about dating, meeting people through those personal ad websites and how people misrepresent themselves more often than not. It was a really good flick anyway. I love anything Diane Lane does.
I've never had one of those ads, but I've had a few experiences with people who pretended to be someone they weren't, people I met in chatrooms. Reason number 452 why I don't do that anymore. I think the reason I never had much luck meeting people in those situations was I never sugar coated all of the imperfections that are "me." Maybe I should have.. who knows.
Some of you may have noticed that I recently removed the picture I was using for my profile. I was really stressing out, moving blog sites, that I'd lose people in the process. I only put it there temporarily so that as people responded to those odd, cryptic comments on their blog and eventually found their way here, they'd recognize who it was. I'll find a new one... something to take it's place.
Speaking of pictures, I'm not sure what to do with my Flickr account that I had linked to the old site. I love sharing pictures, but I may have to establish a new one to link here, I haven't decided yet. I'm open to ya'll's suggestions.
It's almost Friday. We'll make it :)

Don't fret, Francis Xavier and his family were Basques.
Just as Ignatius Loyola's.
Just copy the pics to a new account at Flickr. Leave the old one up to keep up the secret. By the way, do you want this site Blogrolled or not? I am going to delete the old one. (as soon as I remember the password)
aleksu: I love digging into that branch of the family tree. I checked out your blog as well, I can't wait until I have time to pour over it. I don't know hardly anything about Basque culture.
miz: I'm thinking you're right and I'll have to open a new flickr account. As for blogrolling, go for it. That's why I removed everyone's blog links from the old site, so there wouldn't be a trail if they linked to this one. Sheesh it's all very espionage-ish isn't it? *snicker*
I still have no idea what your old site was, or whether I knew you from it. But I like you now, and I'm enjoying reading your blog.
Thanks uccellina :) You didn't know me in my previous incarnation, I found your site while browsing someone else's blog roll. I'm glad you found me :)
