5 things meme

Rules: Post five things you've done that you believe nobody else on your F-list has done. Indulge in remorse (or communal celebration at finding a kindred soul) if someone calls you out on a listed item.

Someone made very bad assumptions about me based on my pride in my Anglo-Irish heritage.

Well, we started by gnawing on the bark... it was an Army training thing, and we badly misheard some comments about how one tree was edible. We were supposed to strip the bark off and make a sort of tea.

geez...I will *never* understand why those fuckers think that just because someone has pride in their particular background, that means they hate others that aren't like them.

Yeah, I've heard of making tea from tree bark. I can't imagine that eating the bark directly was very tasty though.
