I'm a mutt, just like 90% of the people in the country. Now if you want to get specific, I'm Irish, Scottish, English, Bulgaria-ish (what do you call people from there [Bulgaria]?), and Swedish. Who knows what else, but those are the ones I know for sure.

Bulgarian.
Also, gusy, I think you should only consider your grand parents and MAYBE your great grandparents.
You are going way to far back. Besides, how do you know all that stuff? Who told you?
I don't believe anyone, frankly, that says they have more then three or so.
Becuase its like, what tiny, insignificant percentage of you is actually any of those things? If we really trace mine, I'm french and belgian. My greatgrandparents met during WWII and were from those countries. How can you go any farther back then that? What's the point? Anyone farther then that is hardly even related to you...
But that's just my two cents. Its not like I'm trying to bash on you guys (again ;D)

My father's side is 100% Filipino, my family name "Acupan" is a name that survived the Spanish colonization. But my mother, although from the Philippines, has some Chinese ancestry, since my great-grandfather was Chinese. Thats why she has light skin (Filipinos mostly have darker skin) and she passed that onto me. And considering the Philippines was once occupied by the Spanish, it wouldn't be surprising if we got some hispanic blood too. My bro is often mistaken to be Spanish. So I'd say its 90% Filipino, 9% Chinese, 1% Spanish But if anyone asks, I'm 100% American, baby! Born and raised here!

Yeah. Even Dan consideres himself 100% American. Both of his parents were born and raised in England. His mother was pregnant with him when they moved to America, so I understand.

That's what dan says, too. His mom is like, "You were conceived in england" and he's all like, "Gah! I didn't wanna hear that!". Or more like, "Gah, Shut Gob!" Or some such british thing.
Hehe, boot. That means trunk.

Bulgarian. Also, gusy, I think you should only consider your grand parents and MAYBE your great grandparents. You are going way to far back. Besides, how do you know all that stuff? Who told you? My maternal grandfather on back were/are Swedish, my greataunt was Scottish (sheesh, everyone's dead now. ), and my aunt (mother's sister) told me that on my grandmother's side we're Irish. The Bulgarian comes from my dad's mom's mom. It was all family that told me, so its not like I'm making this up [edit]Aw..what a sweetie! The chinchila, of course. [/edit]

Ok, for one, that argument is dead. For two, you totally missed my point. I believe that your family is all those things, but if its all your "Great Aunt" and "Dad's mom's Mom" then why dose it even count? What tiny percentage of you are those nationalities? Like, 1%. Besides, how could one branch of your family be three different nationalities? You Grandmother was Irish, your Grandfather was sweedish, and your great aunt was... scottish? That dosn't make sense. That's like saying I'm German and Cass is french. Stupid french cheeseater... Anyway, Back to going on topic, we do have a lot more pictures to post. I took like, four or five picture of my room, becuase its so awesome, and tons of pictures of us just goofing. Like cass stabbing office supplies into a perfectly good orange. I really wanted that orange, damnit. So yeah, that's what my life looks like, there. That small corner with the computer in it, and me. There's a window next to it, though, so I do know what the rest of the world looks like, sorta. Its very bright. And there are 'animals' which are, for some completly illogical reason beyond my comprehension, allowed to roam free. If you look closely at the computer screen in that picture, you can see my workspace. I'm not working on anything at the time, that's just my browser. And look at all the other cool stuff there! It looks like we've got, hmm, let's see. My awesome pair of gimungous grey headphones, an empty fruit cup (heh, its still here), some pencils scattered about. An extra pair of speaker on top of the computer, just in case, among tons of other uncused computer parts (you should see the pictures of my room ) Just off screen to the left of the keyboard I keep my notbook of Creativity +1, which is where I keep everything, from the WorldRPG, to code for the board, rough drafts of my sotries, and drawings of every kind. And its just a normal, spiral notebook with no cover. And then, yeah, a picture of me and my rabbit hat. Why is everyone so rabid about it being made of rabbit? Your shoes are made of leather! Its a good hat, and besides, that animal died, do you want it to have died in vain? No. Its better to use what it sacrificed itself for, then to just throw it out. Also, if my clothes are made of animal, that means the world's supply of animals will simply rebuild itself through the miracle of life (aka "sex"). Your clothes are made from synthetic plastic fibers of refined fossil fuels- which, during constuction, not only release powerful and iremovable polutants into the air, but also diminshes our very limited (and never regenerating) supply of fossil fuels worldwide. You bitch! In other words, fur is much more nature friendly then the alternatives. And besides, Hitler never wore furs either. Do you want to be like Hitler? No, no you don't. That argument isn't meant at anyone in particular. Just everyone in general. All that aside, isn't it a cool hat? It dosn't really match with the blue I'm wearing there, but it goes good with my green outfit, at least I think so. And its the only hat that looks good with long hair.

Still does. 1% is something. Anyway, yeah, that is a cool hat. Al needs one now, if only for his collection. Does it have a type name (or did I miss it )?
