...And then there were those scintillating conversations in held in other countries where folks who'd never left their country, or met an American before, would lecture me on the horrors of "Americans are..." When I'd query them and ask if that was really how they saw me, the universal and completely serious response was, "Oh, but I don't think of you as an American!"

...O-kay, I am now confused. *blinks and grins* I've always wondered what nationality they subconciously asigned me? *laughs* Then again, I never could convince one classmate that yes, I am an American - primarily because of my interest in history and international politics... *shrugs*
