Papa dragged us to a church he's been going to today, one where they have so many speakers on so loudly I could feel my breast bone vibrating. Naturally, I took a notebook, but the only note I have even vaguely relating to the sermon itself is 'incorrect use of angst' and then 'and again! WUT'. Suffice it to say, I did not appreciate and much prefer the church I've been going to for the past seven or eight years, mostly because hello, I'm of some use there and don't have to sit and listen to sermons that do nothing for me and feel like a hypocrite. Done ranting. Sorry. :P

MORE IMPORTANTLY.

So. This started out as me just being nostalgic and then turned into me going 'what i don't even know what... what are you doing? no stop that COME BACK HERE ANNA!' as the characters just kind of ran off and became a little bit thinly-concealed college-baseball AU of Merlin/Narnia (the FMC is named Anna. >.< there is also a Katie and an Owain and a Lance (although to be perfectly fair he's based on one of the guy's on my brother's Harvard team, also named Lance and kind of sort of awesome). I am never escaping these people, am I?) and a little bit my family AU-ified and our adventures in Connecticut and Massachusetts and Florida with baseball and road trips (only, um, it decided not to do so much baseball except for when they drop by Lance so much as just ROAD TRIPPPPPP, but there will be baseball THEIR NEXT SUMMER, WOODEN BAT LEAGUE WHEEE). Look I just don't know, okay? (also, obviously last names are indeterminate and may be changed at a WHIM.)

Dear Grandma,
All the arrangements for the road trip are completed. I'll keep in touch, but don't get worried about me if it takes me a while to email you. We're traveling, I'll probably get distracted at some point. Have you heard from Mom and Dad recently? I haven't had a call in a week - the dig must be going great! Anyways, we're setting off early tomorrow, and I've got to finish getting my stuff in storage. Hope the party on Sunday goes well!
Love, Anna

So. Jared is Arthur Bradley James?

HAHA Owen is roommates with Owain, I bet ppl love to tease them about that.

Jared is a little bit of Arthur Bradley James and also some of my own brother Matt, and possibly a bit of another baseball player I know named Jared. As they are all tall, blonde haired cute guys, I feel that this is perhaps a little bit justified. XD

I KNOW I KNOW HEH. Owain was going to be Jared's roommate, because he's not going to come up again probably almost at all, and I figured I'd give him an Arthur name just for the heck of it. And then I was like HAHA OWAIN OWEN *snicker*.

i know this guy whose last name is Rowan and he always says he's gonna name his kid Owen so he can be Owen Rowan. i'm like "no don't do that!"

*gasps* Oh, no, he can't do something that horrible to his kid. That's just mean. Imagine what his schoolmates will say! D:
