"are you greek?"

i'm going to the greek festival in a couple of hours. i'm going with some friends and a couple of our moms (including my own). mainly we eat, and then we pretend to shop, try to enjoy the dancing, and then we leave. personally all i can think about right now is rice pudding.

a few years ago i went to dinner at a chinese restaurant with my friend and the host asked me if i was greek. out of nowhere. i told him no, that i was actually italian. he went on to tell me that i looked greek, and i could be greek, and his fixation on it was just really strange. remember, this was a chinese restaurant, not a greek restaurant. so now i wonder, when i go to the greek festival, do they think that i'm one of them? i just wonder. that's all.

anyway i'll blog about "four eyed monsters" tonight when i get home so you have one last chance to check it out (i really mean it this time)...

People thinking you are greek when you are itallian is quite understandable...when the turks invaded Greece around 1460 the was a large migration of Greeks to Western Europe, primarily Italy.
