How do you identify yourself?

[_kiana_]

Well, this looks like a good place to start.

I think I may, in a few days possibly. It hurts to think right now.

[LilyBart]

I think maybe by the things I can't or won't change:

Brunette
Artist


Although I am a Wife and Mom, I don't normally identify myself in that way (unless my hormones are talking...but that's for another thread)

 

[Evil_Geoff]

Hmm: (in order of importance)

Woman
Mother
Bi-amorous
daddi
Mulatto (German, Russian, Irish, French, Black, Black Foot Indian, English)
(aspiring) poetess

You left out hottie...

Just sayin'...

 

[Evil_Geoff]

As for myself, how do I "identify"? The first few are in order...

Old, fat, balding, ugly, tattoed, pierced, evil, sadistic, hung-like-a-stud-fieldmouse bastard with a bum ticker.

Or more properly:

Geoff
Christian
Straight Male
Equal Opportunity Sadistic Bastard
Space Nut
Sci-fi/gaming geek/fanboy
Father (once rated higher, my kids are adults now and the Father role has slipped down my priority list a good bit but will never disappear off the list of who and what I am now)
Southerner (thank you, Lord!)
American
Lunatic
Socially liberal, fiscally conservative (In otherwords: Do what you want to as long as it doens't hurt anyone else, but for Pete's sake don't expect me (or anyone else) to pay for it though, you aren't entitled to jack shit outta my wallet!)

As for the rest... Fuggedaboutit... pick a trait and toss it in there, it's somewhere in the mix.

Your list is beautiful. But I don't think you're fat or ugly (at least from the tiny av).
But your profile reminded me to add to my list:

Southerner (although I don't live there now)
Dog lover

(and no, not in that way...grrr)

*chuckles*
But the point of the exercise was how we identify "ourselves"... not "how do others see you?"

And thankee kindly, for the thought!

Still....I think you're cute!
(of course, we're probably the same age so that explains one part.... )

Well Kiana, don't think I will forget this.

[QUOTE Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass]I too am not a bit tamed—I too am untranslatable [/QUOTE]

Little Women[/B]] "If you mean libel, I'd say so, and not talk about labels, as
if Papa was a pickle bottle," advised Jo, laughing.

They stick you with those names, those labels -- ‘rebel’ or whatever; whatever they like to use. Because they need a label; they need a name. They need something to put the price tag on the back of.

Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.”

Our names are labels, plainly printed on the bottled essence of our past behavior

I've really enjoyed reading this thread, and seeing how everyone identifies themselves, but I've spent so much time fighting out of the little labeled pigeonholes that people try to stuff each other in, that I'm reticent to stick a label on myself. It's odd, I am a lot of things, but most of all, I'm a chameleon, being the best me that I can be to fit into my environment at a time. But even claiming the identity of "SC the Human Chameleon" feels squicky to me. Maybe that's why I often feel alone in the crowd. By refusing to accept a label, it's easier for a person to move from crowd to crowd, but harder to feel at home in any one of them. Even if I look at my friends to see where my identity lies, I see that I have friends across the spectrum. So there's not a lot of help there. Also, it seems like labels limit ourselves. I'm not just a teacher or student, or submissive or any of that, and if I got really inclusive and used every label that's ever applied to me at any time, I'm a simultaneous contradiction in terms!

I can't label myself: I change all the time.

I know just what you mean! I've been the Human Chameleon too. Until I got a base composite self I was fairly comfortable with and which I do not want to label.

The thread is how do you identify yourself, not how do you label yourself.

Its good to know yourself, you can’t really do much until you do.

Try to think of it not as adapting to something, but as identifying parts of you own character.

Couple days late, but I did catch it *nods*

Thank you oh Evil Sadistic One....

I do know myself pretty well, which is why I refuse to indulge in labels. If you don't mind answering, why does my unwillingness to identify or label myself make you feel that I don't know myself? I've done a lot with my life already. It's not like I'm dithering about trying to figure out who I am.

It doesn’t, I was just trying to show how this thread can be answered without a shopping list of nouns.

Ah. Thank you for answering my weird questions.
