What are you first?

[Yuro]

Armenian. People who know a little about Armenia always get shocked finding out I'm Armenian. It's weird.

We're so cool.

We wear uniforms at work. As soon as somebody sees my last name on my uniform, first they pronounce it wrong, and then i correct them, then they say it wrong again, then ask me what i am.
I tell them I'm Armenian.
I must have said that line at LEAST 4 times a week, for every single week in the past 3 years.

I always say that I'm a human being first and an Armenian second.

Many people LOVE putting labels on everything. People tend to forget that although we can all be different in many ways, that many of us can be the same as well. Rich or poor, crippled or able, or whatever "label" that would contradict each other....

...in the end, we're ALL human beings because we all enter into this world the same way and exit out the same way.

No sh!t, you people are human beings????

[xBaron Dants]

I'm a citizen of the world first.




Ok, I lied....Armenian first.

Oh come on people with these responses! (Sorry to single you out, studdy, you're not the only one...)

When someone comes up to you and asks 'what are you' do you really says I am a HUMAN BEING or I am a WOMAN. Seriously if someone said that to me I'd say 'thank you captain obvious' or the more colorful 'no sh!t Sherlock!' and probably move on without hearing the rest of what they had to say!

Yuro, you're not Armenian first. I'm not attacking you or saying you're not proud to be an Armenian or anything like that... but your simply not an Armenian first. No one who has advocated marrying a non-armenian is armenian first. Being Armenian first means you could look God in the eye and say that you don't love him best.

I know it feels like I'm picking on you a lot recently which kinda sucks cause I actually do like you, lol, you're just making a lot of oppertuinities for it...

I'm Glad I'm A Woman

I'm glad I'm a woman, yes I am, yes I am
I don't live off of Budweiser, beer nuts and Spam
I don't brag to my buddies about my erections
I won't drive to Hell before I ask for directions
I don't get wasted at parties and act like a clown
and I know how to put the damned toilet seat down!

I won't grab your hooters, I won't pinch your butt
my belt buckle's not hidden beneath my beer gut
and I don't go around "readjusting" my crotch
or yell like Tarzan when my head-board gets a notch
I don't belch in public, I don't scratch my behind
I'm a woman you see -- I'm just not that kind!

I'm glad I'm a woman, I'm so glad I could sing
I don't have body hair like shag carpeting
It doesn't grow from my ears or cover my back
When I lean over you can't see 3 inches of crack
And what's on my head doesn't leave with my comb
I'll never buy a toupee to cover my dome
Or have a few hairs pulled from over the side
I'm a woman, you know -- I've got far too much pride!

And I honestly think its a privilege for me
to have these two boobs and squat when I pee
I don't live to play golf and shoot basketball
I don't swagger and spit like a Neanderthal
I won't tell you my wife just does not understand
stick my hand in my pocket to hide that gold band
or tell you a story to make you sigh and weep
then screw you, roll over and fall sound asleep!

Yes, I'm glad I'm a woman, a woman you see
you can forget all about that old penis envy

SLEUTH!! That was beautiful! Thank you. I feel the pride right now. My feminist head is filling up~

other than line 2, Ditto.

line 2 correction: Im a guy. i think?
also id mesh 2 and 3 together

Why do we have to be armenian first?> this is not to say i do not like to say that i am or anything to this affect./. i always say who i am and never let anyone call me by the easy name of "george" vs Gevork. I make them suffer,m cause i think its important to keep my 'Armenianness' (i love making new words ) so yeah.. Inna's list is great, maladets Inna.

No one said we have to be Armenian first. However, for some of us, that is the first thing we identify ourselves as. We had to write about ourselves for a class I was talking and my frist sentence was:

I am an Armenian.

Simple as that, thus the first thing I identify myself as is Armenian.

The list goes somewhat like this:

Armenian
daughter and sister
friend and love(r)
And I think that to top it all off, as an equvalent to all of these things is the fact that I am a moral Christian female-woman-girl.
