I know what you mean! I had always thought I had a Cancer rising, but as it turns out my rising is the very last degree of Gemini. The rising sign changed literally in a few minutes from whence I was born!
Once you get into astro.com and start lookin at degrees you realise that yes, you are definitely either 1 or the other.
I think a 'Cusp' is just a fancy way of saying that one may be tuned into the 2 very different frequencies which are the 2 different signs. Personally, I feel the Cancerian-ness that was nearly my rising sign since my 1st house is filled with all Cancer except for that very 1 first degree! But, when someone asks me what my rising sign is, I say Gemini, cuz that's what it really is.
P.S. Welcome MissNeptune!!!

`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
