Re: "being yourself" you have to ask what "yourself" is. Are particular personality traits 'you'? I would say no - they're just habits that you have.

You missed a third option above - change your habits. Become a non-dry and sarcastic you. Not through sheer force of will but through practice. Steve's Podcast #4 might help.

Not saying you should if you don't want to, but it's an option.
