I am a writer.
I am a Trekie.
I am her Mom's worst nightmare.

[Robinhood]

I tend to stand out in a crowd, or in
peoples memories, regardless of what
I wear. I think maybe it is partly
because I don't define myself by
what I wear, or what I do, or any
thing else. I just exist in the manner
I desire.

Maybe this alone is unusual enough
to cause people to take notice.

[CameronTaylor]

Who am I ?
I am eternal but not forever.
Rather I define myself by what I am not, When Jenn asks my how I can be understanding and patient, forgive my "friends" and enemies I say "because I'm not them".

CT - I am Allan and I am thAt dog.


imitating Matt {of Matt & Jen you might meet them at beer & kilt night sooner or later} with the tongue out heavy metal headshake.

[Finn]

I am a proud father and loving (& dumb) husband.
I am a veteran and patriot.
I am a liberal.
I am a pagan.
I am a music fan.
I am a long-haired, kilt-wearing character. The kilts are as much a part of me as my long red hair.

[emolas]

I am a father first, foremost, and always and I define my life by my children. Since my wife left, they are the only thing that is important to me.
I care nothing for what anyone thinks of me as long as I follow my heart. Selling out and conforming just to fit in so that everyone will like me just doesn't feel right.
Everything else is subject to (sometimes instant) change.
Wearing a kilt is not particularly a part of my 'identity' and is more a comfort thing. Plus I think they look nice.

[jordanjm]

I am a unique individual. Never in the history of the world, for good or bad has human DNA combined, and culture combined in exactly the same way as it did to help create who I am, but more than my physical attributes my soul was already a unique creation. When the three combined here I am. I believe that this transcends what I do for a living. I also believe that it is in what I spend my time doing which shows, and helps to create who I am. This life is like we were given a partially started sculpture, and told to make it what we want it to be.

[MacWage]

I AM:



I am NOT:

(Those are Jim Clark and ABC Chapman with a Lotus race car and the other is Satchel Paige (The GREATEST pitcher of ALL time)

[GMan]

I am a multi-layered individual. Plain, simple, and introspective.

I am a multi-layered individual. Plain, simple, and introspective.

No offense meant, Glen, but the first thing that popped into my head when I read that was the whole "onion" scene from "Shrek."

[Martin S]

Who am I?

Nothing particular, never having developed any of the talents that showed temselves in my younger days, so I don't stand out in a crowd, or anywhere else.

Perhaps that is why I wear a kilt; it makes up for some other shortcomings, and, kilted, I do get noticed and remembered.

There won't be an answer to this question until I am dead. Then ask the question; if anyone remembers me, then you will know who I am.
