I have a cute little turned up nose and I'm 5'7"?!? I like it and get compliments on it all the time...
My father's side is almost all Irish. (a smidge of Czech or Slovak we don't know which it's such a smidge!) They've been here quite a while, and for some reason I turned out the most Irish looking. So much so that people from the hard-core Irish section of Queens come up to me thinking I'm "from the old sod".
My mom's side is mostly Scottish (I guess that helped with my Celtic looks). We have a little Cherokee in there, too. I think I'm 1/32! Does that even count then?!?
Fun fact: My mom's ancestors literally came over on something like the second ship after the Mayflower! There is a cabin in a NC state park that belonged to our ancestor John Allen and it's a national historic site. And there's some book with all his descendants in it and I'm in it.
So, I identify with both sides. The "Irishness" of my Dad's side, and the American history aspect of my mom's.
