[quote="wolfsong"]I'm taken, if that's what you're trying for.[/quote]  

I think I have in fact stated what I am looking for, FYI. And it is not a mate, I already have that.

[quote="wolfsong"]Thank you for apologizing, and if you expect to be my friend, you are my _equal_.  I don't _live_ by a hierarchy, thank you _very_ much.  You are not my alpha, I am not your omega, sorry.[/quote]

It's generally hard to explain to people I meet that the hierarchical bit is natural to me. I didn't mean to sound offensive. :( Sorry.

[quote="wolfsong"]Hmmm... No.  Not really.  I wouldn't call such a group a 'pack' either.  I have close friends, and am always interested in gaining more of those close friends, but 'pack', to me, has the conotations of all living together, sharing a bank account and raising each others' children.  And an online pack... no, not worth my time or effort, in my opinion, and not real enough for me to care about.[/quote]

I see.

[quote="wolfsong"]Friends are welcome, usurping superiors are not.  That's all I'll say on that. *nods*[/quote]

I was not being "usurping", FYI. With all of my wolf friends (yes, taken females too) so far there was an element of hyperactive happines, after which all the things you find so annoying about me came allong naturally. I understand tho that to some the idea of the hierarchy isn't natural and that you simply have a problem with it, I just never know when to expect it tho I guess. I missunderstood your innitial response for the introduction to the hyperactive state.

[quote="wolfsong"]On a lighter note, if friends you wish to be: tell me about yourself!  What's up with you lately, how're things going, what do you like to do, any pets, do you like cheese?  (okay, so maybe the lastone's a little much...)[/quote]

Yes, I like cheese in fact; I like most protein-rich food (well with the exception of internal organs) and I preffer it over sweet stuff, even tho I am a chocolate addict. 

Regarding pets, it's basically that I'm not allowed to have them (I'd be working hard to even get a goldfish in here), but I have several close friends of such kind around. This would be mainly the neighbour's bitch and my aunt's cat. I really preffer to be on the same level with animals and I don't mind things like getting covered in fur, the message I get accross is usually the most important with me, which is why not only my closest animal friends but also those in the neighbourhood (for example the dogs at houses allong my way to work) tend to like me (not bark at me when they recogntize me, etc, even had the neighbour's cat follow me into my room once).

Otherwise about me, I work as a techie. My interests include microbiology,  stuff with plants, computers, electronics, psychology, etc. I am employed as a programmer at a company that devolops laboratory equipment, it's fun stuff. As mentioned, I like to keep plants around I preffer the greenes I don't focus on the flowers and my favorites are those that smell nice, like mint or vannilia (mint also happens to be a soft tranqualizer, so it's always nice to have that bush around when one's mind is troubled).

I generally spend most of my time around computers tho. One reason is because it's my proffesion and the other is that, being a heirarchical person, I have the need to be pleasing others and this is generally most easily done by things on the computer. My room is filled with various servers that offer what they can to people on the internet and maintaining them makes me feel usefull.

So... what about you then?

P.S.: My best friend, Armorhok (a wolf therian) once said that I am very easilly missunderstood. I guess it's just the kind of person I am.
