If you're interested in some great social theory on this issue, read Irving Goffman's "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life." Your post makes me think you'd love it. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
As for how I see myself:
1. See pic below
2. add in Sierra Club's trademard silhouette of a guy hiking
3. sprinkle in any James Bond movies you like - so long as they don't have that girl Roger Moore in them
4. mix with Real Genius and Revenge of the Nerds 1 and 2
5. let simmer for 29 years but not until bitter
6. let cool in a Bahama breeze for 2 weeks of winter
7. garnish with one beautiful wife
and VIOLA!!
