Ha! 1000 people identified their ethnic origin as "Texan" on the 2006 census.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Was there ever a time when Zack Galafawhosis was funny? I liked him in Tru Calling, but every "joke" the man's involved with just thuds to the floor to die instantly.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just started watching Kidnapped again, after a brief hiatus, and just watched episode 7.
Dude, Alaska FBI guy is working for IA. BOO! I liked him

More people identify as "Texan" than Manx. Huh.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Well, the last native speaker of Manx died in 1974.

Barb, I like the burgundy skirt, or the purple outfit on you. I do, however, think that perhaps a white or oyster colored top would not be my personal choice if I were dressing you, as far as making your coloring its most lovely. If you do go with a neutral top, wear some earrings with color. Turquoise or garnet would, I think, be lovely.
(I like the burgundy skirt. A LOT.) With strappy gold sandals and a hot burgundy toe polish, with a good amount of gold in it. Delish.)
I can't believe someone who dictate someone else's self-id'd ethnicity, ita. I had students fill out stuff all the time as a high school teacher, and what they put down was their business. You look totally white to me? Go ahead, and put Black & Asian down. I don't know your business. And there's been enough times I thought X about a student's ethnicity, and further along in the school year, they'd pop out a "But my mom/dad is Filipino/Black/Puerto Rican/French/Kenyan/White" and I'd be all "Huh. Never woulda guessed. Get on witcha bad multiethnic self, kiddo!"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think that either ethnicities are not as easy to tell by looks as some people think, or people just aren't as good at it as they think they are. I've been asked "Are you _____?" for just about every ethnicity that's not usually blond. (Most recently, random guy on the street, who also had ethnically-ambiguous looks, came up to me and asked, "Where are your people from? They ain't from this country, are they?")

I got asked if I was French all the time in London. I do not think I look particularly French at all! Perhaps it was my air of degage ennuistiphication?! Heh.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
When I was living in Philly, I got picked for English most of the time. Scottish a few times, and on one occasion, Welsh. I had one guy spend an entire dinner listening to me and an actual English person, and still claim he couldn't tell our accents apart.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Somebody from a number I don`t know just called me at 2 in the morning. WTF? I ignored it. But now I`m freaking out with the middle of the night call adrenaline. They would have left a message if it were actually someone I knew and an emergency, right? Worst part was I was just getting to sleep. I`m always up amped after a gig. Like I haven`t been having enough sleep problems anyway. With my body clock the way it is I`m due to wake up in another two hours anyway. Why can`t I sleep like normal people?
