Hmmm, see like I say - a huge lot of people from the USA are actually
Europeans...
My family, from what I know, is partially Polish nobility plus Hungarian
and Romanian knights - they mixed a bit during wars and stuff...
I managed to trace it all the way back to the year about 1550 in old books
and registers from those times...

I actually heard a really funny comedy bit once by this woman about "ethnic
origins/behaviors"
It started with the idea of how when people go missing we assume they're
dead, right?
She figures the same thing happens with goldfish....all their buddies in
the ocean are figuring they're dead, when in reality they're in a tank
somewhere in an "opposite dimention".
So when we disappear, we end up in alien terrariums...and here's what they
have to say.
"Hey man look at that irish one, he's drinkin again, that chinese critter
won't stop screamin at everyone and the mexican one passes out every day at
three o'clock!"
then on to
"Aw, look what happens when we give them alcohol...Woah man, check out the
mick, that little irish one is still goin at it even after all the other
little guys fell down!"
I work with an irish/jew (who refers to himself as YENteel) and I"ve never
met a more successful drunk in my life. This man literally can't function
without booze. Not at work, but I can always tell when he hasn't been
drinking in a while. It doesnt affect his life, his ability to work or
function, his relationships, he is just stayin "true" to his "roots" as he
puts it. "I'm a fucking mick....it's like gas in a car...I don't have it,
I don't run"
I think I'll dig out that book my mom has on our lineage and see if I can
scrounge something up that doesn't suck....hmm. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Ah dropkick murpheys!!!!
I"m a friggin mutt. I don't know where the hell I'm "from". My dad's
family tree literally drops off the face of the earth around 1890 (they're
from virginia..go fig) and on my mother's side I do know that I have blood
relatives in Wales, and my great grandmother on her side was Belgan...she
met my great grandpa during WWI. Michael calls me a "half assed bastard
french" *snicker*
A family member on my mother's side published a book on our family tree (I
have it somewhere) and of course, my picture is in it, and of course, the
worst friggin one I've ever had taken which she says is "so cute!". Not
only was it awful, but outdated even when she sent it in 10 years ago.
I don't know what my deal is...I drink and fight like the irish, scream
like the scottish, bitch like the british, behave like a german, and my
favorite breakfast food is waffles (thanks great grandma!).
I figure I"m just another example of crossing podunk constantly migrating
southern hillbillies and snobby eurotrash. With waffles. And
strawberries.
I have no excuse! *whine* ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Okay well my family comes from Ireland (I'm actually the American of the
family, since I have no other heritage, it's fairly easy to work out the
stereotypes):
Alcoholic
Catholic
Belligerent *
Loudmouth *
Egotistical *
Angry *
These are common stereotypes of the Irish and my family meets them all. I
however meet only those marked by an asterisk however it all depends on
what mood I'm in. |
