(californica) MAN DUUUUUUUDES whats up?? Over here in sunny California all we have is sidewalks for people to blade over to school on. Most of the time i just get a ride with my friends in their convertables down to school and love the wind in our hair and the sun shining down on us. Tehn at lunch we ride out bikes over to the beach to get our surf on.. SURFS UP!! Check you hot chicks later!!
(cheerleader) Then like totally after school when cheer starts we just watch the boys play with that little ball which i think is called a football "RAH RAH SIS BOOM BAH.... GOOOOOOOOOOOOO CAVERS" Then we like just talk about what we saw this girl wear today. It was totally OUTRAGEOUS!!! Im gonna ask my daddy to get me that, after all he does own like half of the city. We live in this big house right on the beach with like this GREAT view of where the boys play volley ball on the beach... oh yeah DUh and the ocean!!
*just to let you guys know.. i have NEVER acted like ethier one of these, this is just me guessing what a sterotype of them would be. If i ever act like one of these.. please put me outta my misery

I wake up and have tea and crumpets for breakfast, before I get a red bus to college, driving through the grey streets of London in the rain, carefully avoiding men in bowler hats. Before I start my evening job as a chimney sweep, I'll go and drink some more tea, most likely with one or two members of the royal family. Toodle pip!! :teeth:

Well, tis mornin' I woke up in de igloo, and my jumpin' Moses was it ever cold! So I went up to de Mounties and asked "What's dis all aboot, eh?" and he said "My son, we just got another 50ft of snow last night, and the snow dogs are buried!" To which I replied "My goodness, bi! What are we gonna do now?" After aboot an hour of intense discussion where we ate nothing since we had not hunted the day before, we finally decided to head to them there United States. So, I rounded up all the snow dogs that were left and we headed to the boarder in our snow suits. So, as I was walkin' up to the boarder I says to the guy "Hey buddy, how's she goin?" To which he says "I am fine, what is the purpose of your visit to the United States?" so I says to em' "Oh, just wanted to see if we could find some food....Know where we could find any you young whipper snapper?" To which he said "try that place over there."
What a sight it was, funny lookin' word though. rest--au--rant....Never saw one a them before, so I went in and asked for a poutine and a pop with a side of fries and vinegar. After the worker called for two managers and four other supervisors, I asked what this problem was aboot. One manager said he had never seen a Canadian before and couldn't believe that we had parts of the country that are to the south of the USA and that some places actually saw more snow than Canada!
After my boys all got up off the floor from laughin' we left and headed back to the boarder and finished off the day with a nice labatt's light from the ice box.

Obnoxious pet peeves about stereotyping:
*So you dress preppy, you shop in Abercrombie, you must be one of those preppy teenagers. 25 dollars for a t shirt? How could you? Did daddy pay for that cell phone, that Fendi bag?*
My response: NO!! I dress how I dress to look good, to look cute. Maybe your idea of cute and sexy is different than mine, but I'll spend MY OWN MONEY on my clothes and I'll pay whatever I want for them. Oh yeah, and I bought this bag with my own money, I have a job, and I pay for my own cell phone bill! Just because my family has money doesn't mean they spoil me, in fact, they do the opposite, sometimes too much! And just because I dress nice or "preppy" doesn't mean I'm jappy or snobby and that I ignore anyone who doesn't dress like me! Grrr...I'm friends with everyone.
*Oh, so you're from New York? Are you scared in the city that you'll get shot? New Yorkers are so rude!
My response: No, I'm not afraid that I'll get shot. First thing, there is more to life in NY than the city, though it is awesome. NYC is actually an amazingly safe city for such a large city. Oh, and btw, New Yorkers aren't rude, we just keep to ourselves alot more than other places. Thats the way of life here, good or bad, it's just different. Yes, we move quickly, and I wouldn't want it any other way!

I hate being stereotyped. HATE it. Because of how I look and dress, I'm not allowed to be "smart." I don't look like I'm smart supposedly. So people (guys) assume I'm an airhead, and even when I do get good grades they don't believe it. I just got "lucky" or that test was "easy" or the teacher "likes" me and others which I can't repeat. Then that starts to change and the guys finally accept that wow, I do have some intelligence (who would've thought :rolleyes: ). It's just not fair that I have to prove myself to people over and over again.
Sorry, that was definitely me venting lol

Let's see....I live on cape cod so I have a house in Boston which I frequent..I'm rich and stuck up....oh and because I go to a private school I get whatever I want just by going "daddy..." and the freaking 40 hours I work a week is just to keep busy and the money doesnt go to pay for anything..
Basically people think i'm a stuck up rich b**** who only lives on steak and lobster.
Oh and because I used to live in Indiana my friends here think that I rode to school on a tractor and all there is is corn. And we just sit around doing nothing with our think accents sitting in our overalls.

greet'ns y'all. I'm sittin' here playin' with someting called the inner'net. I got my confederate flag shirt on, my NASCAR racin' hat, my dirty jeans, and boots covered in hog slop i got when I fed 'em this mornin'. On my way to workin' at my field in my dirty truck that i mud bogged in, I listened ta garth brooks, tim magraw, and johnny cash.
I think all you youngin's need to respect your elders more and you girlies are purtier than a shiny doller.
After work i'm fixin' to go out with the boys and hunt some coons with ma huntin' dogs and spit tobaccee.

israels good now (i think....i missed the news today, and if you dont watch the news you dont know if something bad happened).
its great to be back home! i missed all of my friends.....israels a lot of fun, lots to do (and for pretty cheap). its hot as hell though!:smooth: once i stop being jet laged ill be able to stay out later like a normal israeli....lol:rolleyes: , im always being given a hard time for being the tired american who wants to go to sleep.
my citey is organizing all these free activities in the park (its like a small version of central park, with a lake and everything :Pinkbounc ) performences and movies from 10 PM till the morning for the next couple of weeks.
ummmmm, ok i thing i got a lttle carried away....:rolleyes: sorry, as i said im really tired....:D

I get the "rich" thing also. Because of the house I live in, the pool in my backyard, and my dad's obsession with cars people think we're rich. But we're not, if we were, I'd be wearing diamonds! I want diamonds ::pouts::

the biggest stereotype i can think of for me is being a twin.
lol..every day me and my sister, my best friend of course! get up, and we pick out our outfits together..which match! then we go to school..my sis ash has a terrbile headache and i can sense her pain, so i run to the rescue with advil. And if i get bored in class i telepathically send her messages, about all the things we like!!!then we ride home on the bus, in the same seat. We're the bested of friends...lol
well ok...some of thats true..like we do like most of all the same things..and alot of days we accidently wear the same shirt..and we are best friends..but we have about 7 best friends..so..lol.

08-12-2002, 08:01 PM
oh ok i thought of some!
Since i'm smart and i take advanced junior classes, i'm a total nerd who sits at a desk every day when i get home from school. I read all my textbooks and study until i have everything memorized and my mom forces me to stop studying and eat dinner. After dinner i might watch pbs for a little while before i study some more. Then before i go to bed i'll get online and do extra research so that i can get extra credit in all of my classes. But i can't for too long, because i have to go to bed by 9:00 so that i can get a full night of sleep so that i'll be ready for all of my classes the next day.
all i can say about this is YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see, New Jersey really doesn't have any stereo types...
Umm, we all call it Joisey instead of Jersey
We all eat hard rolls with butter for breakfast (maybe lunch, but not breakfast)
We're all stoners like in Jay and Silent Bob
There is a Tony in every grade (well, there is in mine :rolleyes: )
We all live in the ghetto and are metal detectors in the school
I don't now, those are pretty stupid (I got them of the 'You know you're a New Jerseyan when...' thing)

~ In Washington all we ever do is cut down lumber. We wear plaid shirts, knit caps, and carry axes around. And all we ever eat are apples,day & night , night & day.
~Since I'm on the honor role all I ever do is study, be teacher's pet, and tutor. I've read the dictonary cover to cover more than 100 times. And I wear sweater vests and skirts.--Not hardly!! People rag on me for being a little abnormal, I'm not, just because 1 day I wear A&F, and the next day I wear an outfit from Hot Topic. I object to stereotypes, I like to keep people guessing so I can't be catagorized. Kinda like a chameleon, always changing!!! :jester: ~*Jen*~

I live in Florida so obviously, I'm blonde and I have a terrific tan. I wear a bathing suit to school everyday and then my friends and I all go to the beach which is just across the street from my school. I'm a bit scared about doing that thing where you punch holes in paper, you know, the thing where you choose who you want for President, it looks kind of hard. What if I punch in the wrong hole? Will they let me do it again? And I absolutely love Palm trees. I doodle them all over my papers at school. But of course since I get good grades in school and am therefore a nerd I can't doodle too much. I pay attention in class and my hand is constantly up to answer questions. There is a supply of apples for my teachers in my locker. I spend hours everynight doing my homework and I always work ahead. I play trivial pursuit and watch Jeopardy for fun! (ok, I do but that's not <I>all</I> I do;) ) And I go to bed everynight at 9:00pm so that I can get up early in the morning to iron my skirt and shirt and make sure my pocket protector goes with my outfit.
And you know what other stereotype I get? About Disney. When people hear that I like Disney they immediatly start watching for me to wear my Disney shirts to school everyday and they quiz me about the parks, movies, tv shows, Walt, etc. They think I'm supposed to know everything about it. And if someone mentions Universal or Sea World everybody looks at me like I'm going to attack the person who said it. This is mostly my English class, it's all because I knew what year Jungle Book was made... *sigh* ;)

Reply: "Oh, (insert sterotype about NY City)"
"No, The State of New York"
So I get up every morning before the sun comes up to milk the cows for breakfast. Then I walk to school up hill through miles and miles of corn feilds, cabbage patches, and yard sales. after school in the one room school house, I say goodbye to all 30 kids from grades k-12 and head up hill back to home so i can help farm the feilds and pick corn to sell at a road side stand.:cool: :rolleyes:
