People who bother to guess usually think I'm Italian.

Dear Snow,
I hate you.

I mostly get Jewish and Italian (which is correct) Although I am not sure how people reconcile the stereotypes with the fact that I am very fair.
I do not see the twin thing with Noah and J. Noah does look just like you, Kat. It's adorable.
My mom got the Asian thing a lot too. I think a census worker refused to believe she wasn't mixed race and actually wrote her down as such. She also has pictures of her with straightened hair done up in a sari with a bindi and she looks totally Indian.
Which is weird for a woman who was a redhead as a child.
Snow. More snow. Make it stop.
Hil, do you have faceblindness? I have some friends with that. Hairstyle changes mess with them something awful.
In our little family, people always ask us if Noah and his friend J (who is a year younger and Vietnamese!) are twins. [link] I don't see it, but it totally pisses off J's mom who hates me.
They don't look at all alike! Noah does look vaguely like he could be related to a fannish friend's son, especially in pre-mobile pictures, though.
Echoes, despairingly, Zen. So tired of it.
I also don't see the J and Noah twin thing.

I don't know. Never really thought of it as having a name, just as something that I'm not good at.

Over the years, a number of rude strangers have asked my mother if my sister and I were adopted. My sister looks like my mother's sister and niece, but not particularly like my mother. I don't particularly look like either side, which helps me maintain the comforting fiction that I was switched at birth.
Hilarity has ensued from me posting my BFF as my sister on Facebook. She was invited to join the Facebook group for my High School Class and she joined before I did! There were only 100 in my graduating class and are only 20 people in the group! Do they now think I was a twin?
