She's also Albanian. Since my wife is Albanian, and Eliza is one of four famous people we know with direct Albanian ancestry, we tend to keep track of them. It's even more rare in celebrities than Mormonism. Posts: 2804 | Registered: May 2003

Really?One of my best buddies in Chicago is Albanian. Well, her father was an Albanian with some Turkish ancestry (his coloring was dark)and her mother was an ethnic Albanian born in Turkey (she was very fair).
I spent quite a lot of time at their house, when we lived in Chicago. They were Muslim, though. I bet Mormon Albanians are fairly rare, too. Posts: 9293 | Registered: Aug 2000

You bet right. My wife was one of the first 50 Mormon converts in the country. She was also raised Muslim like the majority of Albanians, although after 50 years of Communism, most people don't know much more about their religion than its name.
Then again, Mother Theresa is Albanian, and they named their international airport after her, so there is at least a little religious tolerance.

Oh, yeah. My friends (The Avdylis) explained to me all about the different kinds of Muslims. They were fairly religious (we had to go outto eat before sundown during Ramadan(sp?) and stuff like that), but there were no veils or anything.
The funniest thing, to me, was that Nurdan was this devout Muslim (27 year old virgin) who was blonde and vivacious and absolutely gorgeous... but absolutely cursed like a sailor. At work. To clients on the phone. It was like the curses were meaningless words to her.
Probably they were, since her family spoke Turkish and Albanian at home, exclusively (unless I was there -- then they would try to keep in English for politeness' sake).
Being with them was the most fun I had in Chicago, really.

Don't you mean after sundown?

I've never seen a Buffy episode. I have no idea what the character is like, but Eliza Dushku is seriously hot Posts: 3846 | Registered: Apr 2004
