Is there something non-stereotype about yourself?
Me? The best picture ever taken of me is my driver's liscense photo.

1. Practically everything
I'm a woman who enjoys working on engines, running heavy equipment, using a chainsaw and power tools and who hates shopping. I don't look or act like a man but I'm just not a girly girl. I'm a liberal who collects firearms and enjoys target shooting. I don't really fit too many stereotypes.

6. As far as the "stereotypical liberal" label goes, I fail too many litmus
tests myself. I am a gun nut (love to shoot skeet) and I am pro-life.

8. Forgot to mention
I'm the same with the driver's lisence pic - as a matter of fact, I once sent a copy of it to a guy I'd met online who wanted a picture. It was the only one that was any good. Wierd, huh?

9. I think it's kinda neat. But yes, it's weird.
Hard to admit you look better in your driver's liscense photo than you do in real life.

12. A lot
I'm a southern, white male from a small town... who is an agnostic liberal.

My driver's license photo is pretty awful, though. :-)

13. I think I may fit that description
"I'm a southern, white male from a small town... who is an agnostic liberal."

Although I really consider myself a moderate (if there is such a thing in America any more).

14. I have really big arms (biceps/triceps)..
It's non-stereotypical because I'm a vegan (most folks think vegans are stereotypically skinny, weak hippies). Lots of vegans are very well put together, so I'm not a rarity, just not the stereotype.

I live in the gym, what can I say.

15. I am not a stereotype
Or would that be a stereotype of my type of people?
