It probably says something about me that I want an antique or antique-styled pocket watch as much as I want a pair of mirrored sunglasses (think Morpheus, but with earpieces). Unfortunately, I largely can't afford the first, and have yet to track down mirrored lenses in anything other than Bono-style wrap-arounds. Someday!
...I have no idea what era I wish I was living in, but it's obviously not this one.

Going by names, it's easier for me to tell, though I'm far from able to tell many, so thanks for the tip :3 (I could pick out Kriese, Romano, and debated a bit on Sliwoski as particular kinds of caucasian ethnicities *looked down, put hand over (nationality)*)
I guess it comes from who you know, hang around, and are surrounded by. Me? Family is ASIAN. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Filippino, you name it.
XD; Friends? Mixed, but caucasian for the most part, and while I could pick out 'Tetz' as German, 'Jones'... Yeah. To me it sounds common, and thus I can't really put a peg on where it originated from exactly. (A. Jones is my best friend since K. grade. She's the Euromutt I'm talking about--mixed of damn near everything + native American Indian (Cherokee, and something else I believe). I think she said it might have come from England...)

Jones is somewhere in the British Isles - I know it's a particularly common Welsh surname (ah, Torchwood - the things you teach me).

AH! That's it! I knew it was something or other there! I think. ... Ok, so I suck at remember just exactly what she is. HAHA! =3
