I'm a writer and I suck ass at math. Funny thing is, that used to be backwards for me. I used to be great at math, and sucked at english and writing.
Stereotypes that you prove.

I prove the shy quiet nerdy girl stereotype fairly often until something rubs me the wrong way then stand back because my russian/irish/scottish/scandanavian fighting side comes out........
Also true to my heritage I am quite the drinker and hold my liquor very well(Very much a European mutt. Minus Spain I have a descendant from every country in Europe
)
And true to the irish blood in me I'm pale and I walk outside in the sun without protection and up to a minute later I'm already burned.(and no I don't tan at all contrary to my native american heritage)

I prove the stereotype of all Canadians being nice. Seriously this joke would apply to me:
How do you find a Canadian in a dark room filled with Americans? Step on everyone's feet until someone apologizes to you.

I prove pretty much everything about the geeky nerd stereotype, apart from the positive traits. But I make up for that by having a load of positive traits from various other stereotypes. All in all it's not so good, because those bad nerd traits and a bunch of mismatched perks don't go together all that well.
Example: I'm very overweight (a debatably geeky trait), but I can hide it and pull it off as well as anyone could, because I have a great knowledge of fashion and a brilliant dress sense (a perk one might assign to those who are 'that way inclined', or trendy women - I am neither).
Another example: I have quite low social skills (geeky), yet I love interacting and speaking with people (popular loudmouth type trait).
The first example is actually very helpful, but the second has alienated me more than a few times, because I talk to people a lot, but I don't socialise perfectly or bring up the most interesting topics. I suppose I could be seen as one of those people who doesn't know when to shutup because he's boring everyone. On the bright side at least I look cool when I bore people

I'm a New Yorker who's also a Half Jewish in ethnicity and half White.
I'm like Woody Alan and George Carlin having a baby.
i.e. I'm a perverted nerd with a fascination for death who likes to poke fun at political corruption, takes pharmaceuticals and is manic half the time.

Fortunately for me, most people can't tell by looking at me. They are usually shocked since I'm in pretty good shape and my ethnic background is stereotyped as being exactly the opposite of what I am.

A lazy American. In fact, according to my whole school, I am King of the Procrastinators. I can push something off until the last minute and then rush through it and get an A or a B on it. So, yeah. Don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing but that is one stereotype I fit into.
Black Metal Geek; Excessive love for Black Metal, a bizarre affection for high fantasy worlds (Tamriel and Middle-Earth, mostly), RPGs, Only wear black and white and band shirts, Glasses, Long hair, Hate big parties, heavy drug use, escapist (lulz) tendencies, misanthropic to a fault, depressed, music snob, I don't date, I hate "metalheads" (probably because they have more fun than me), and am convinced that the world will end in plague.
Hippie; Dreads, drug-use, radical political ideals (though not exactly leftist), loose Asatru dealings and beliefs, association with pot (selling, I don't smoke it), symbolic jewelry, I respect, and revere, the power of hallucinogens, I play ukulele
Oldtymey Kid; I hop freight trains to travel around the country on and off, I have a soft spot for badly worded songs about travel and booze from the 20's, I play claw hammer (ukulele, though), I rewrite traditional songs for my own attempts at bastardization (she ain't got no!, long black veil, viper mad, etc.), and being wasted is pretty much all I really do. Especially whiskey.
Good stuff. It's weird to actually see your little niches typed out. I suppose there's a label for everything, eh?

I'm British (Welsh if you're being pedantic) and I have that sort of humour that few tourists can understand. For the geek stereotype, I'm very introverted and could likely build a nuke if given the resources.
The dutch say that 'eh' thing as well. Along with other words, depends on where you were raised and what your friends said. I end my sentences with almost anything now.maxben said:QFTOmniscientOstrich said:
There is about something about your description that, while it isn't literally accurate, rings of truth.
Jewish Stereotype: I'm a smart nerdy Jewish guy that comes from a family with money (my dad is an entrepreneur). I'm also extremely cheap to the point that my parents have talked to me about it (Jokingly, but still....).
Canadian Stereotype: I am incredibly nice (according to other people, I don't really know). I had an American extreme Christian tell me that I'm like Jesus, which was an odd yet very sweet compliment. I also say eh a lot. Its so useful! I don't use it like "um" (some Canadian do), but more to symbolise a question from an observation. Example: "That poutine is like a heart attack on a plate, eh?" I don't actually know how you would be able to make such a sentence without the eh.
And no spell-checker, "symbolise" IS spelled with an s.... American spelling makes me angry sometimes.
So, I'm dutch and boy do I love myself some pot. Never get to smoke it though, I always forget to get some.
Also I'm a guitarist, a bit vain, and believe I'm way better at my instrument than I am. At least i know my place in a band.
