4) I don't walk down the street and see movie stars
Also from California (north and south), and completely agree with the above! I get these a lot, too:

5) I don't drive a convertible
6) I am not an actress or aspiring actress (SoCal) or involved in the computer industry (NorCal)
7) No, I never met Bill Gates or Steve Jobs
8) No, I don't hang out with movie stars
9) I always live in big cities but have never lived in LA or SF (there are other cities out here!)
10) I'm afraid of swimming
11) I have no more time to go to the beach than most people
12) I DO live right next to Disneyland; I can't afford to go.

I'm also half-Mexican:
1) I don't speak Spanish
2) I have brown hair, blue eyes, and fair skin
3) I'm not Catholic
4) I only have one sibling (though yes, my extended family is HUGE)
5) I hate hate hate beans
6) My ancestors came here legally and about 200 years ago.
Thanks for this!
