 This is something that bothers me so I decided I'd rant about it here.

I have family on my mother's side that I can trace back to the second landing at Jamestown. My father's side doesn't go back quite that far, but they do go back to the pre-Revolution. I have family on both sides such that I have relatives that fought in every major American conflict, including both sides of the Civil War. My nearest migrated relatives are seven generations back on both sides. I even have a marginal amount (like 1/152) of native blood in me. So, pray tell, does that not make me a 'native' American?

For me its not just a matter of relating its also a matter of not having that person care about my social mistakes or having that person mean exactly what they say. Queenie and I don't beat around the bush with each other and we aren't offended by the other's bluntness. We don't care if the other isn't looking at us when we're speaking. We don't care we're sounding monotone.

Yeah, Queenie's just easier for me to talk to because I don't have to make myself appear more normal to be understood.
