I've heard fragments of this from you but never the whole thing - thank you - fascinating and fabulous read. I shall see if I have any articulacy spoons to spew mine today - I really want to find those spoons :)
I find it fascinating how people discover who they really are and how they want to identify. It might partly be because, other than embracing my geekness (I've always been into geeky things, but I never embraced it and claimed the identifier 'geek' until I was maybe 19 and at uni), I've never changed the way I identify myself. In the most basic terms, I'd describe myself now in pretty much the same words as I would have as a teenager, 15-20 years ago. So the process of people discovering that they are very different from the person they once thought they were is very interesting to me.

I hadn't fully formed my history until I wrote mine down either.
RAH!

Sorry, that was pointless waffling.
