i do maintenance on custodial and construction equipment, so i'm a "grease monkey". but i am working on a degree in computer aided drafting, so i'm a "nerd"
i love to discuss philosophy, but i enjoy a drunken party every once in awhile.
i love to bike, fish, camp, canoe, and enjoy nature, so i'm a "tree hugger". but i own a lifted, big mud-tired, 4x4 truck and like to use it (responsibly), so i am automatically labeled a drunk redneck that tears up the countryside.
oh yeah, and i'm a yankee (nothern ny) living in the south (arkansas). everyone assumes i'm from the "city", even though i grew up more country than they did.
this way i keep everyone so confused they don't know what to call me. and i stopped worrying what other people thought of me along time ago.

I'd say your a mutt, like a stray dog your a bit of this and a bit of that.
But I am too. I'm a nerd-grease monkey-hillbilly[which i like] city slicker- slacker - hard worker- and 'ecomodder'
I hate the way the media portrays this "hypermiling" I wish they would just come out and say"leave 5 mins earlier and slow the hell down! problem solved"
