Norwican | Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 01:42 pm  A teacher friend of mine posed this question to his Sociology class. I thought it was interesting. He was trying to determine whether his students were thinking of themselves on a broad level or a very personal level. What one word noun (not adjective) is the first word that comes to mind to categorize yourself? Are you surprised by your answer? Oh, and my answer was woman. It did kind of surprise me because I've never thought of my gender as being very important to me. |
Enbwife | Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 01:46 pm  it's hard to think of one word off the top of my head, and I found that I was swayed by your answer Nor... I chose Friend, because I am a social person, have lots of friends and love spending time with people... |

Elitist | Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 01:55 pm  Hey Wink, you stole my word. But probably not the same meaning |
Wink | Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 01:58 pm  ROFLMAO Elitist. Sometimes that too!!! |
Norwican | Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 02:19 pm  Enbwife and Wink... you think of yourselves on a much more personal level than I do with your first thought. I wonder why that is? That is what I find interesting. Elitist... ROFL |

Moondance | Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 03:12 pm  Nor didn't set any rules... she just ask one word that came to mind. |
Digilady | Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 05:27 pm  Geek! LOL You did say the first word, eh? |
Juju2bigdog | Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 06:26 pm  My first one was gender, just like Norwican, which is surprising since I am gender confused. So now I more confused than ever.

Noslonna | Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 07:49 pm  "What one word noun (not adjective) is the first word that comes to mind to categorize yourself?" Mediator "Are you surprised by your answer?" It does not surprise me. As a woman, mother, friend, daughter, sister, wife, ex-wife, step-mother, counsellor, business person and all the other roles I have had, it is what I often find myself doing. |
Azriel1104 | Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 08:00 pm  This is too hard. I'll keep thinking and come back later.

Azriel1104 | Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 08:02 pm  oh blah it says first to come to your mind. Well yuck I don't like the first one that came to my mind so I'm not telling you  |

Nikkid | Thursday, December 14, 2000 - 12:35 am  Throw-away why? The state got custody of me after my father died. Trust me that sentence explains it. The sad part is there are alot of throw-aways out there. |

Adven39 | Thursday, December 14, 2000 - 07:00 am  I don't know, Nik, you don't seem like a throw-away to me. How about a phoenix? They rise from the ashes and take flight. |
Norwican | Thursday, December 14, 2000 - 07:22 am  Thank you guys for responding... this is cool.
Nik, I think Adven is right . Guru... do you mean multifaceted or set of buildings? j/k |
