animal_quillsI suck at these things. Right.here it goes ;)
EDITED: stuck on stuff on empathy, which i missed
EDITED: stuck on stuff on empathy, which i missed
I'm faileas (or geek, as more people know me as).I used to run a site called lupinenet or the den, which had my essays. It'll come up again someday when i dig up everything.While i was born and brought up in singapore, my parents are from india, and currently i live and study in bristol, doing a BSC in computer security at UWE
As akhila mentioned on my essay's comments, most of you don't know me, basically cause i basically dropped off the face of the earth for a bit (Forum politics so i quit+depression over personal shit so i didn't bother+ moving countries and stuff. its somewhat better now but it takes a bit of time to get back into the spirit of things ;) )
As far as identity goes, i'm.. fluid. I'm a wolf/angelkin (with the latter,tending towards suspecting it was a past life. Funny thing is i don't generally believe in either angels or past lives, other than the whole thing with my spirit guide, which i'll come to later, and the way anything about my angelic side that isn't immediate feels), though *mostly* wolf, with the angelic side either part of my personality, largely or manifesting itself on rare occations, personally speaking, or with my spirit guide.I *don't* generally identify myself as a werewolf, except when joking about them- werewolves are creatures of myth, and well, there's a lot of baggage with the name which i don't think is necessary
I'm also an empath/sensitive- i pick up emotions, and sense stuff about people, though this (and shielding it off) is so second nature now i pay little attention to it. Its both a gift and a curse (last time i walked past the local rugby ground on game day i got a headache from the sheer concentrated erm... emotions?). I don't really *like* being one though, since you don't have the option of shutting people out without feeling like hell
Genderwise, i tend to refer to it as a straight male default, though more realistically the gender i *feel* changes randomly, and i tend to be attracted to *individuals* rather than yanno, labels of gender or stuff. I tend to think its better to love a mind, a person than a body.This is probably in part cause i feel so outta place in my body anyway. stuff that isn't there being felt (usually a tail, or wings when my angelic side manifests itself, in a phantom limbish sense), or the wrong gender ( what i feel most of the time is non gendered, lacking either male or female charecteristics. I also tend to randomly feel female, occationally with... probably psycosomatic... discomfort in erm...places, thought this is rarer than feeling male)
I have a strange dicotomy (is that the right word?) in terms of belief in the supernatural. I both believe that they don't excist (based in logic) and that it does (based on instinct and feeling). I have a spirit guide or two (one is an angel, and the other, best described as someone's aunt, if she was a spider), so i suppose i believe in people believing in them, and probably believe they are quite real.
