who are you?

Well all of those options tend to provide some insight into who someone is. Where I'm from is an important part to my identity (as is the fact that I moved away from there). What I study shows you something that I'm interested and how I spend a large portion of my time. My age gives you an indication as to how much "life experience" I have.

When you remove all that, then I suppose I could reel off a list of different traits, but the fact of the matter is that it depends. Everything feels like a sliding scale. Some days I'm more kind, or funny, or open than other days. I'm not keen on the idea of presenting myself as a list of adjectives, because I'm always changing in small (and sometimes big) ways, just like everybody else. And besides, there's only so far those adjectives go. They're way too broad to describe all the complexities of human nature, the ways to which I react to things, etc. So, in a lot of ways, you can gauge more from the sorts of things you listed, namely the things that involve my actions.

Some things which are so deeply entrenched into who I am as a person that they'll never change is my love (in fact I'd go as far as to say my need) for travelling. I travel as frequently as I can, time and money permitting. My love of and deep interest in animals. My fear and sadness about the prospect of death (and that I'm an atheist). I could go on!

I'd also probably be seen as "left wing", due to my concern and love of the planet and the environment, my wish that things were more equal in the world, my belief in socialism, etc etc.

I feel fairly contradictory sometimes. My moods can change quickly and although I have a deep interest in pretty much everything, I sometimes feel like I have nothing to do, and I'm quite restless. I feel endlessly grateful to have met someone who's perfect for me, but sometimes I feel like I don't deserve him or that I'd rather just be on my own. I could continue, but this comment is already pretty long, and I, like most people, am too complex to sum up with a few paragraphs. And there's never going to be one solid answer. These are a few glimpses into who I am, just the first things to spring to mind. :)
