    All Irish on my father's side.

    On my mother's side...her dad was English, her mother was from a very small town in the former Soviet Union...she left before the Bolshevik Revolution and there's some dispute as to whether the town was in Kazakhstan or Russia as they left the counry en masse, but from the look of my Nana and her sisters, I'm guessing it's modern-day Kazakhstan (that branch of the family looks slightly Asian). Interestingly, my Nana's family stayed in Germany for a couple of years before finishing the journey to America, so while I'm not German by blood, we have a decent few German cultural "bits" mixed in amongst the Russian/Kazakh stuff...

    And I've lived in California most of my life - originally Northern.

    I'm the biggest cultural mutt ever. I have pale skin and light brown hair and blue eyes, but I'm actually part black. It's fun to see people's faces when I tell them I'm mixed race, especially if I get to humiliate people after they've just made a racist joke. Like once a friend of mine who is more obviously mixed then me left and someone called her a zebra, so I told them I was mixed too and they turned the brightest red ever.


    But I have biological family from South Africa, Nigeria, Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, Ghana, England, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Australia, Portugal, Spain, Canada, The USA, The Netherlands, Belgium, and pretty much everywhere, lol. hence calling myself a "cultural mutt". :p
