or mexican. or worse yet - be a halfing, it gets you into all kinds of
trouble. yes, i know. it's not something i rest on much, but i know about
that. i've had people who won't be date me because i'm half. and people
tellme about how my parents should not have married. etc.
it can do interesting things to your self-image if you let it. and even if
you don't, it still affects you. sometimes i'd rather live in the south,
because it's more blatant. oteher times, i enjoy this bland midwestern
subtley that means i can ignore it sometimes. nobody i can think of wants
to crusade forever.

m.... i can't see me wearing one of those, they sound neat, but even if
