Geez! So am I! (Well, in all actuality, I wan't born there. My dad was though (my mom's Italian). In fact, I still have a ton of family that live there)...it's great to finally meet(?) someone from there (and a U2 fan at that!).
I don't know many other Slovenians...most conversations I have with people go something like this:
THEM: "So, what's your background?"
ME: "Half Italian, half Slovenian."
THEM: "Slo-what?"
ME: *sigh* "Slo-ven-ian."
THEM: "Ah! Slovakia!"
ME: "No no no...SLO-VEN-IA"
THEM: "That's not a country. You MUST mean Slovakia."
ME: "Okay. Trust me. It's a country. I've been there. I should know."
