Here is the next question:
If I was from another planet, what would you tell me about yourself to explain WHO you are?
I'll explain why I am asking in the next episode.

Well, I just got a job at a place called Play Date. We are like a drop off place for parents to either leave the kids or come play with them in the mall. We do birthday parties and the likes. So it is fun. Aside from that, the brownie thing sounds like a great idea. Sun bathing, going for walks. Oh, and, Wednesday driving to Mass with my mum to see my lady. And what about you? Not like an adults summer is much different than the rest of the year. Hmm.. who knows? I guess my only other plans are learning the entire Hanson album, The Walk, on my accoustic and writing until the pen is quite embedded into my hand. I love being 19. I have no responsibilities.
Well what is sad is that the obvious could not even be done because as soon as we were heading to her house my mum called and was out of her meeting. It was fantastic. So I guess I could try to record something by the end of the summer though my recording software is just horrid. Anywho. I am at work right now and completely not doing my job. Yes, I am getting nine dollars an hour to blog. America.
I am a mammal of the species homo sapiens, organic life originated from this planet. One of 6.7 billion individuals, currently.
Why do you ask? Where are you from?

Revision:
"organic life originated from this planet - we think."
Revision 2:
These responses are based on the assumption we can communicate - somehow.
Oh my apologies Mark G.. We can only communicate by a series of clicking sounds and foot gestures. But I am learning your language and I think I get what you are saying.
Green(click)moss(foot wiggle)
Can you explain it to me?
Wiggle, wiggle, click, click
nudge, nudge, wink ,wink know what I mean?
say no more, say no more:-)
Now, if you have blue skin, voluptuous curves and numerous limbs, we might be able to communicate on many different level - is your name Mystique?
I am green, have multiple limbs and am quite surprised you would use the double click double wiggle maneuver.
However, I suppose since you are just learning the language it is understandable and not really an indication that you are about to regurgitate your fingernail clippings.
Here is why I am asking the question. I wonder how a person identifies him/her self. Do you identify yourself first as a man, an american, a husband , a golfer, a democrat, a (whatever). Then, after that there are more identifiers.
You identified yourself as a mammal and a human. I am going to think that you identify yourself as an animal on this planet first and then as a member of a species. If you think back to your thought processes when you answered the question, would you have given the same answer to a person from another country that doesn't speak english? If you had an interpreter, how would you identify yourself to that person from another country?

(This might help me rewrite the question)
Dearest Honey, How I identify myself is dependant upon who I am speaking to. I hope I don't have to explain that I am a woman very often. In a foreign land, I would probably start with American. When speaking to you, I would say, "I'm your wife!" and then pop you on the forehead for forgetting again.
Seriously, I think I go human, woman, wife, mom, teacher, bleeding heart liberal. At least I would like to think I put it in that order of priority.

Ahhhhhhh! So!
Describing ones self to an individual from another country by way of an interpreter is a very different thing altogether.
I shall recompute my wiggles and clicks, nudges and winks and respond accordingly
