glacier_kittyFriday five:
1. Pick one label that you think does describe you (race, religion, hobby, etc.). Uhh..bookish? Haha
2. Pick one label that is often put on you, that you really think is inaccurate. I'm not really labelled..though Sean called me a nerd yesterday haha
3. Pick one label you wish could be put on you. I like being called a nerd :P
4. What is one kind of label that you think is universally wrong to use (race, gender, height)? The n-word?
5. Labels, used intelligently, can be a convenient rhetorical shorthand for identifying how a given person will fit into (or react to) a given situation. Labels, used incorrectly, can be an excuse for dismissing the differences still inherent in the people to whom the label is applied. Discuss. Errr..possibly?

2. Pick one label that is often put on you, that you really think is inaccurate. I'm not labeled anymore, really.
3. Pick one label you wish could be put on you. Um...surfer, like, for real. Haha. I struggle with surfing, I don't feel like it's totally right to consider myself a surfer quite yet.
4. What is one kind of label that you think is universally wrong to use (race, gender, height)? Hmm...I think there are a lot of labels that are wrong to use...although maybe I am thinking more of stereotypes...
