I like the way one of my university textbooks frames the particle wave duality thing: "A single pure wave has a perfectly defined wavelength, and thus an exact energy, but has no position. [...] [Whereas a classical particle] would have a perfectly defined position but no definable wavelength and thus an undefined energy" ^([1]^[2])
I am currently in my bed. I have a lot to do today, but I'm not sure how much I will get done because I don't know how much energy have. Thus I conclude you are right and that I am clearly a particle.
