I'm a dual citizen of both Brazil, South America, where I was born and grew up for 16 years, and of the United States, since my parents are American Citizens. My grandmother was Mexican, and from New Jersey (Hackensack), and I have Scottish, English, and German roots from the rest of my grandparents. My wife is 25% Philippino, 25% English, and I'm not sure what else :)

My family are awesome but I feel like I don't love them nearly as much as they deserve. Didn't even cry when my grandma died. :cry:

My sister (the one who looks NA) and I were ice skating on Big Lake in Indiana when I was 5 years old. I fell through the ice and almost drown but she grabbed my arm and coat and pulled me out, then she dragged me all the way to our grandparent's house. I actually didn't think she could do it because the ice kept cracking and breaking by her feet too.


I'm glad you survived. You're such a sweet person. :P
Thank you, Mick. :)

my grandfather invented a television remote control channel changer in the 1950s. it was designed to be an integral part of the armrest of a La-Z-Boy recliner type of chair. he was working for Northern Electric and invented it on company time so he got his regular salary plus a dollar for his patent. it was never put into production.

My sister is an undiagnosed Aspie.

She refuses to get tested because she believes there is no such thing as AS.
