It's Just Me

I'm a Ramblin' Man...
I have a tough time considering myself as an actual American. Probably because I lived most of my life outside the continental U.S.; if you ever talked to me you would have a tough time pin-pointing where I'm from because my accent is so screwed up; I jsut recently found out what IHOP and Sonic were (within the past year or so); on the way to school in Italy, we counted prostitutes; I've been able to drink legally since I was eleven, but have been driving legally for 8 months; I just hopped on a train to Rome for my 18th birthday; I'm well aquainted with every race, religion, and culture; fieldtrips in Hawaii consisted of whalewatching, in Naples we went to operas and hundred-plus year old museums, and in Indiana, we ewnt to farms and a cow almost ate my jacket; I can insult you in about 5 different languages; I've built playgrounds in Slovakia during 3 of my spring breaks; I never knew what White Castle was until Harold and kumar went there; just to get on base for school or shopping or what have you, I had to go through a highly secure gate that was constantly guarded and I had to show identification everywhere; i had more frequent flyer miles by the time i was 2 than most adults today; my friendships face-to-face tend to last a few months to three years; my relatives call me The Foreigner; I'm not used to hanging out with a majority of white people; I'm probably the most eclectic person you'll ever meet; I drive and eat like an Italian; I've gone to more markets than malls; I've had my fine share of road trips; I went to Dublin, Ireland for St. Patty's Day; my softball tournament was held in Poland; when school was canceled in naples, it was usually due to trash strikes; when I graduated, my whole class (which only consisted of 65 people) dispersed across the world; I grew up in a third-world country; I was Captain of the only Marching Band in DODDS Europe schooling; I've had thousands of close call accidents in the streets and on the tangenziali in napoli; I hate American pizza; during 9/11 my housing was under strict guard by our military for about 2 months; I've seen countless vespas/mopads with four or more people on it; there are speed-limits, but they aren't inforced in Naples; back in naples, we only had 8 channels; I graduated in a castle and my prom was at a hooka bar (including a camel); I know how to hit on someone in Slovak... whateverlife.com

I've never had a song written about me.
I've never had a childhood friend.
I've never heard of White Castle until Harold and Kumar did.
