Blood is thicker than water

Ha! I just found out that James Frey is my second cousin. Now, granted, I've never met him or heard of him, but there is blood relation there. His grandmother and my grandmother are sisters. It's on my dad's side of the family, where good familial relationships go to die.

I guess my defense of him was just those blood ties coming through.

Or possibly ignorance, since the more you guys tell me, and the more I hear, it seems that he is a pathetic liar.

Oh, god. And he's related to me.
