My mom is a bit weird, so of course I'm a bit weird too. 
I'm also quite shy, just like my grandfather.

-Dark brown hair from Dad
-Temper from Dad
-Eyebrows from Mom (I need to wax a lot >_<)
-Eye color from both parents
That's all that I can think of. Probably more but I'm too lazy to think.

My mother is Hungarian and my father is English, from Yorkshire.
-My last name is inherited from my father.
-My accent is slightly Yorkshire-ish (although just 'Northern')
-I also get a Hungarian lilt to my accent, although neither of these are inherited genetically
-My eyebrows are from my mother
-My light olive, yellowish skin is from my maternal grandmother.
-My blue eyes (I remember when the first forum collage was up, people commented that my eyes are really blue) are not from my father's side (as you'd expect from England) but from my maternal grandfather.
-My hair I suppose is from my mother, although it's unlike any of my family's in colour.
-My argumentativeness is from both sides
-My sarcasm, cynicism and faceciousness (can't spell that, probably not even a word) come from my father, although he claims to be never sarcastic or cynical.
-My brains come from both sides ^_^
-My height...both my parents are average
-My big feet for my height are from my mother
-My big nose is from both of my parents, I was doomed.
-My athletic ability... erm, I'd say my dad, but I have more natural ability than he had. My mother's sister Adrienne was a naturally able athlete.
-I can sing quite well, which is from my father, but my other musical ability is from my mother- my dad can't play any instruments, my mother was a pretty good violinist. Also, her sister Adrienne is a musician as a career.
-I have large, sticky-out ears, from my father, I think.

From my mother:
- gullibility
- naivete
From my father:
- stubbornness
- low tolerance for ignorance
From both:
- stupid white skin that takes 2 months to tan and loses it in 2 weeks

Nothing. I think. But I guess my love for Styx and LOTR comes form my mom, and my computer ability comes from my dad. I think.

My parents are like Yin and Yang. What one has, the other doesn't, and what one lacks, the other will have. I got the best from both.
Intelligence-wise, I got my artistic and linguistic side from my mother. Musically, my maternal grandmother is responsible. Scientifically and mathematically, I got it from my father, although it's not brilliant and I don't understand half of what I'm doing. Still, I get good grades so heh, I don't mind.
My slightly wavy hair is from my father, as well as my poor eyesight (worsened by reading too much). The colour is from Canada as I have not one relative who has hair like mine. My dark eyes are from my mother. (It's really dark brown, compared to my dad's which is lighter.) My pale creamy yellow skin which is nearly white is from the SE Asian sun. My lack of body hair from papa and also my face shape. My nose and mouth, also papa, dang, papa's not pretty!
My flashes of red hot temper that go as quickly as they come (which is why I call it red hot), mother oh so definitely. My dad and brother have a white anger, the kind that takes a while to build up but if they are angry, they are silent and really mad for ages.
Analytically and perception from my father, although I can analyse people better than he can. My like of practically everything and love of people from my mother and from both, a desire to improve the world somehow and serve society. Work ethic - Chinese trait.
Everything else is mine.
My grandmother gave this beautiful necklace and two tiny, tiny china dogs to my mother, who passed it to me. They are both alive and well, thank you. We believe in giving before you die. (Deaths and wills are such taboo subjects in Chinese culture.) I want to wear my pretty necklace at my graduation ball.

I suppose having four last names counts as inheritance.

My dad and I both have what my mom calls a "broken thermostat"...we get bothered by hot temperatures much sooner than most people. I like summer, though...as long as I can hide in the air conditioning!
My mom and I both have bad allergies, and we're both huge Philadelphia Flyers fans.
According to my dad, I share the trait of allways asking questions during movies and tv shows with his mother.

Generally most of my looks from my dad. My writing ability/understanding of grammar and spelling/love to read from both of my parents. Other than that..I don't know. Oh, my mom's addiction to candy and such. XD
