I am me and you are you....

Yesterday in Anthropology I tried extra hard to stay awake and was greatly rewarded. The lecture was about sex, gender, and conceptual personhood and it has left me thinking a lot about self concept. So in an attempt to better define my personhood I am going to make some lists (which in a a way defines my personhood... I love to make lists:) In one list I will list adjectives (only positive adjectives, negative ones defeat my adjective) that I feel comfortable describing myself with. In another adjectives I wished described me or I am actively trying to incorporate into my personhood, and in the final list adjectives that are the antithesis of my personhood.
