lumy12This week's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
thefridayfive is about family. My answers aren't very inspired... oh well.
1. How far back can you trace your family tree? Pffft. When I did it for school I probably went back four or five generations, but I don't even know the third one up off the top of my head. If I dug around a bit I'm sure I could go back further, at least on my mom's side, but I probably never will do that. It's too depressing that I'm stunting the family tree by not having kids.
2. What is the most interesting (or strange) thing you've heard about one of your relatives? I guess this is supposed to be some random factoid about a distant relative? Well, it's hardly interesting to anyone else, but definitely strange to me: I just found out last week that my parents are getting a divorce. I'm still pretty weirded out about that and just trying not to think about it much, really.
3. How do you feel about legacy names like John Henry Smith IV or naming children after other relatives? I wouldn't do it, I'd rather agree upon an original name with the daddy, but whatever floats other people's boats is fine. Who am I to judge?
4. Would you consider yourself and/or your family to be traditional? No. Are there any families that are, though?
5. What is one tradition you have passed on to your children and/or plan to pass on to them? Yeah, see, the whole having kids thing - not gonna happen, so, fuck this question.
I think next time I go to get my shiny new prescription I'll whine a bit to the doc and get my dosage increased. Or maybe I just need to sleep more. Mmmmmm, sleep.
ETA: I feel a bit better. I just talked to K for about an hour on the phone. Yes, *I* was on the phone for a WHOLE HOUR. (don't get any ideas, I still hate the phone) We took turns whining about stuff. It was nice.
