Response # 1: Who Am I?

I thought that the hardest question of our activity was "Who do you think I am?" mostly because with my partner I had a bit of trouble telling them the truth without sounding racist/stereotypical, I tried to dumb it down a bit but they still got the message, luckily they weren't the kind of person to hold grudges so lucky me..

The hardest thing about it for me was definitley speaking, I never really thought about any of these questions and how true my answers are until I was actually telling them to my partner, pretty much my life in a nutshell the more I think about it.

As a listener I noticed more and more that I tend to be the ideal listner in terms of what I'm told to do, I didn't much interrupt the monologue until she actually wanted me to and I really didn't match the usualy kind of person when any sort of description was thrown out there. As a speaker, I realized that I had never actually talked to anybody about who I am, what I do, what I want/like to do or anytihng like that, just the blunt "I'm Tim.... I hate things..."Also, I think I scared my partner ^_^;;
