19, sort of. We had a TON of books (and I started working in the local used bookstore for store credit at about 9 or 10), and my mom used the museum as a babysitter for me. I didn't go to private high school, but I did go to private school from kindergarten through 8th grade - but I was a scholarship kid. The only plane I flew on before I turned 18 was the one(s) that flew me to and from Germany as an exchange student - again on scholarship. We had hosted a student, so his family paid to bring me over as thanks. I went to girl scout camp every year, but that was something that my troop spent all year doing fund raisers for. I did get an old, second hand black and white TV in high school, but honestly I never turned it on. Oh, and I had a lot of original art, but that's because my mom was a very talented artist. We never paid for any of it. This is a rather screwy test, if you ask me, and doesn't take into consideration a lot of other factors. I remember not having enough food to eat, and taking four years of PE to satisfy

well...if you want the Davis response...mine is 26.
I'm surprised that you didn't put down that people in the media who dress like you are positively portrayed. I mean, perhaps you are thinking on a more specific level, but I look at it as the general white woman. And in that regard, when I watch most tv shows, I thinks that most white women are portrayed positively. There is the occasional ditzy one here and there, but compared to the other stereotypes, we got it pretty good.
also, you had ballet lessons, didn't you?
I gotta say, some of the questions are a little bogus.

Bones is an entirely positive (false, but positive) portrayal of anthropologists, yo.
