I voted human. I'm certainly intrigued by the others, but I'm inescapably human. I agree with your sense about Elves, but I have "beyond the walls of the world" so much in my mind that I cannot be Elf nor Dwarf; I have not the patience of Ents and I have not the lightheartedness of Hobbits. I have the melancholy associated with Elves, but not their wisdom or craftiness. But it's the 'beyond Arda' thing that tips the scales for me.
