I think my identity is based on a lot of those factors, and even more so by the seeming contradictions between some of those factors.

Socially-liberal, almost to the point of being a leftist Libertarian.
Politically-left of center, but understands a balance of power is the healthiest solution.
Economically-concerned w/ keeping the nation out of exorbitant debt. I guess this would make me fiscally conservative.
Major environmentalist.
Major feminist who loves it when men hold the doors open for me, change my tires, and carry my bags in the airport.
Believes that a nuclear family headed by a mother and a father is best, but is tolerant of single parents and gay-parented families.
Religiously-atheist.
Ethnically-African-American. My religious outlook coupled with ethnic background tend to confuse a lot of people.

But...to look at me, I dress very conservatively (ie, Charlotte from SATC). When you consider my sorority membership and the fact that I'm from the South and was raised w/ all the ideas of proper upper-middle class Southern deportment, it's very easy to paint me as a Miss Priss. Which isn't true at all...

One part of my identity, however, is NOT being my boyfriend's girlfriend. Let's just clear that one up right now...

So, it's hard for me to use those things as my identity. I end up surprising a lot of people after they get to know me. The boy always says labels are for canned food, the mama says not to forget labels are also good for medication.
