Birthplace and ...
on: April 07, 2006, 04:02:40 AM
Where were you born?

I was born in Houston, TX. 


and what are you?
as far as I know, I'm Scottish, English, a little French, maybe "black dutch", and i think maybe Italian or some other Mediterranean country because my skin has yellow undertones like my 3/4 Italian roommate. My mom looks Italian too. 
Is anyone else here obsessed with their ancestry?  I am.  I'm probably very mixed, though.
