ethnic ancestry-
Norwegian, Swiss, German
religious affiliations-
Agnostic, raised Protestant
holidays-
Easter, Thanksgiving & Christmas are typically the times during the year that my family gathers for a delicious homemade dinner, however my family does not incorporate any religious aspects into the holidays
self-identity-
the ancestry of my family is very important to me, but I personally find the concept of heritage to be of high value because it indicates the racial framework of a person as well as how they fit within the world around them. I am proud of my heritage because of my fascination with Scandinavian history as well as the process of Westernization that includes the stories of my ancestors' immigration voyages to the States
harassment-
my ethnic identities have never caused me to be victimized by harassment, however my sexual identity tends to spark enemies as something to harass me for. although it is unfortunate, generally harassment of this nature tends to not bother me much because I don't really give a shit what people think
alternative cultures-
I would definitely say that I identify with my age-group culture. we remember living through the 90s, which explains things such as why we understand the gaudy clothes in our parents' closets but our younger siblings do not. also, I identify myself as an artist but I'm not sure that would help me for this next project
friends-
I have friends from a multitude of ethnic and self-identified backgrounds, but it would be boring not to
tension-
balance is a crucial element of my personal world view, so I have come to terms with all of my identifications
