1. Last year
at this time I thought I knew exactly who I was...
now, I am a totally different person. Things happen to make us stronger or weaker and I honestly thought I would be an emotional wreck but the strong side came out...
And I am BETTER than I was a year ago.... so I know that until some thing hits you from out of the blue, and you have to deal with it.... you won't know the whole you.

2. Can I say that I know who are what?
That I know who are troglodytes and who aren't? :shrug: Because I'm pretty sure I work with at least one troglodyte...

7. My dear datasuspect...
I am very confident that I know who I am!

I know what I'm capable of, and what I want from life...

I've known all this for a long time, too...

9. No.
Thirty years ago, I was a baby. Twenty years ago, I was a child. Now, I am an adult. In the future (hopefully) I will be an old man. Yet through all these changes, I am the same individual. Therefore I am none of these things, since they are all temporary. So what am I? It is a very good question.

11. I learn more about me every day
I thought I knew me pretty well

I do

however... there is a lot more about me that I have yet to learn

that is life though...

I figure when I know myself, I'll be done here...

so the journey continues

:hi:

12. Most days I know who I am, but each day is a learning experience...,
a chance to do something different.

13. I'm an enigma wrapped in a mystery
I'm an ever-evolving work of art.

14. Fuck yeah I know who I am
Edited on Sun Sep-16-07 07:09 PM by Droopy
I took a journey through my subconcious mind and duked it out with my super-ego for ten fucking years and eventually assimilated those aspects of myself into one bad ass motherfucking mind. I am now Super Droopy- ruler of my interior world.

15. Maybe. Then again, maybe not.
It's a non-dualistic Zen thing. You were wise to ask, Grasshopper.

16. No because I am ever-evolving.
Edited on Sun Sep-16-07 07:40 PM by PeaceNikki
Life keeps throwing me into situations that I never anticipated and I take each turn with a different set of views based on my life-lessons learned up until that point.

Strength can be mustered that I didn't know I had. In addition, I sometimes surprise myself with the way I handle situations. Sometimes good, sometimes bad... but always a lesson for how to handle it if it comes up again.

I am ever-evolving. So, I don't know me wholly yet. I may never.

17. i don't know so much who i am
Edited on Sun Sep-16-07 10:27 PM by wildhorses
as much as it is a fact of learning who i am NOT.
by process of elimination,
whatever is left
will be ME :bounce:

hey...about that budweiser --- is that open for negotiation?
