I'm 83% European
When I went to view my own blog today, instead of going to the most recent posts, it took me back to July of 2004. I don't know why it did this, but I'm glad it did because one of the visible posts was this one entitled "If I were European, I'd probably:"
1) smoke. Everywhere. Regardless of whether I was inside or out, in an open or an enclosed space.
2) have a mullet. An oddly trendy one.
3) be a sk8r (if you will) chick. It's apparently either that or wear clothes that are a size or 2 too small. I'll go with baggy--it looks better with the mullet.
4) shop at Mango.
5) wear a bra with clear straps. Maybe not. That's more for the tight shirt girls. The sk8r chicks wear a black bra with everything.
6) wear shirts that would give me the weirdest tan line EVER. Oh wait, I've already done that. I can't wait til y'all see it. Hopefully I will have toned it down by then, but I don't think it's possible. It seriously looks like I'm all the time wearing a white tank top. Score.
According to my own standards of European-ness, I'm 66% there. The only things I don't do are smoke (and I'm not planning on starting) and shop at Mango (but only because we don't have them). And I guess I don't wear a black bra ALL the time, but generally I do. I'm so sure you wanted to know that, but we're all friends here. I think I can make up for not shopping at Mango by shopping at H&M and Urban Outfitters, so that bumps me up to 83% European. What can I put in place of smoking? Any ideas?
I guess the only thing left for me to do is to actually move to Europe, and I hate to disappoint or excite anyone, but I do not currently have any plans to do that, ALTHOUGH I am going to London to celebrate the New Year. I say I'm going to visit friends, but really, I just want to be in 2007 before the rest of you.

Sorry about the Xanga nastiness. I think that is how it works. I also had to delete your comment about me HAVING a Xanga. I am trying to get some people to stop being in my business. (Then don't have a weblog..blah blah blah. Yeah, I know.) I'm probably deleting that blog at the end of the year.
PS-what is the difference about beta? Do you like it??
You could always chew that delicious grape gum "Big Chew" and pretend it's chewing tobacco. Could that take the place of smoking?
i didn't need the bra comment. is the mango store run by mango from SNL? cause that would be cool.
You are going to be in London??!!!

You could SPEAK more European...Call cigarettes FAGS, then you wouldn't have to smoke them, you would just sound like you know what you're talking about.
