I never understood what was so great about hot dogs, but maybe it is just a cultural thing. :unsure:

Who I am, i've always strived to be someone (I've always said "I like this, I do this" &c) but I'm starting to realise thats not who I really am, nor what I really like. Some of it is, but it seems that because I like people like that, I was trying to be like them; but I am starting to realise I am not like them, and I like that even more.

Who knows? Generally realising who you are, what you like, and what you are is considered a good thing. Other people may not like it.

Don't entirely stop caring about what others think- they might have good advice and it might pay to listen. But don't pay so much attention that you essentially are parroting them.
All things in moderation, right?

Also, when the hell will conservative SuperPACs learn that I'm not going to vote for Romney?!

What I mean is that I've always cared about what others think. I put a great deal of care into the way my clothes look, the way I stand, the way I sit, and even the way I talk just to make sure other's get the right impression from me. I take any criticism and take it to the extreme. I've realised that I need to stop caring so much

I disagree. I know what I like, what I dislike, and I am content with that. Why would I feel it necessary to find out who I am? How does it help me in the long run? Isn't it more likely that most people lie to themselves about who they are, really?

Apparently it's Irish for "Who?", at least according to Google Translate.

I took the Spanish, que, and wrote it as it'd be spelt in Irish.

Though, it actually means how. Or who. Or though. So, it could be Hiberno-Spanish... Or How so? :P

So you asked 'what'.

That's surprising, as my statement was simple.

It's a philosophical thing. The search for inner truth, and for yourself and who you really are. Some people like to stay with a comfortable non-changing image of themselves. Others go out on limbs to look for what they're hiding from themselves and the world.
