I can relate completely.  I

I can relate completely.  I do not feel like I belong to any one culture, and when someone asks me where I'm from, I have a hard time answering, because I feel if I give them only a partial answer (which is easiest because otherwise i have to give them a whole life's story) I am in a way not being honest because they now have certain assumptions about me which aren't true.  Of course, I shouldn't "think too much", and if the other person makes assumptions about me based on where I am from, then that is their deal, right~~ 

But it is a bit difficult sometimes, because instead of feeling like I am fully a part of all the cultures, I rather feel like none of them fit me 100%, and instead of knowing all of them, I know none of them completely... I just know me...ish.
