re:A young girl, of half asian descent, half Italian/Irish...I felt I didn't fit.

she rah, welcome home! we like to say, there are no rules around here, but fact is, the people who fit best here are those that often didn't (or still don't) fit well in most places.

the most interesting discussions are provoked by someone with an 'outsider's' view looking at and questioning something (a word, an idiom, an expression), that, we all take for granted (or if you prefer, that we take for granite!-some of us are pretty hard headed!) as insiders, in someway.

most of us are pretty adept at looking at things from the outsider's point of view, because we have all been (and in someways continue to be) outsiders in some way, shape or form ourselves.

look forward to hearing more from you!
