What I am is what I am
Mar. 14th, 2004 05:10 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sailorhathorI've decided to try to start finding out what the heck I am, because I don't know what kind of mutt my family is and I'm curious. My dad's too lazy to know; all he knows is, "We have some Cherokee indian blood." Yeah, we got that on both sides. So, what else? "I don't know." >:\ Kaye's Mommy (that's her name ;D) gave me some sites to start with, so I'm hoping it won't be hard (I've got such a common last name...). Also, my Aunt Gloria has already done a lot of the work for me because she wanted to join the Daughters of the Confederacy. Just need to write her a letter. Mom's side of the family will be more complicated, though I can probably find out some things from my Aunt Joann.
I'd just really like to know why one side of the family is a sea of blondes and the other side is a sea of black haired people, hee. For the most part.
And now, to waste time before dinner, a longass survey nicked from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
