Declarations!

[furtech]

We all change. There was a time when I would declare, “I am a science fiction fan and reader!” Over time, that has changed in subtle, but distinct ways:

I am a science fiction fan and reader!
I am a science fiction fan and comic publisher!
I am a comic publisher and filmmaker!
I am a filmmaker and Siberian owner!
I am a Siberian owner and anthro-fan!
I am a dog owner and costumer!

See?


At various points in your lives, what would have been YOUR declarations?

... hmm.. I tried several times to make a list like you did.. but I just can't do it.
What I am hasn't always followed a logical course.. and I've never in my life really stood up and tried to define myself... I'm just me :)

I've got a disorganized mind, so labels help me keep track of stuff. They're not necessarily "definitive" so much as mnemonics to distinguish stuff from each other. The declarations above represent periods of time in my life and interests (and in some ways reveal how I get to different interests).

You've got a more scientifically-oriented brain (probably great for your day job!) and may not need the kind of mental post-its that I need. Or I just have too much free time right now!
