Over what I directly type. For example I will never tell my computer

"Format C: /Y" on a MSDOS prompt. That's the control.

Well I guess you could blame something on me I cannot sense (I only

concluded this thing exists in the first place according to how other

people treated me). It seems it's mostly right tho, as I later learn.

For example sometimes it will force me to go out when it's raining, I

will not feel like it's a good idea, but in the moment I'll step

outside, it'll stop raining. Or it'll make me say something, which I

will later learn has a much more possitive effect than I expected it to.

There are plenty of examples I could give actualy. It's not a bad-things

personality at all.

The problem being that the fella felt haunted and dissapeared from the

newsgroup in a few weeks. Not that I feel sorry for him, but I lost my

good-reading tracer.

I don't mean those lies. Well you know what I mean.

Oh, you're a shifter! Glad to meet you, I'm a contheri' I don't shift

into anything at anytime other than what I am. If you excuse the

powerfull behavioural shifts (which come in _various_ intensity levels)

of course. I guess we're whole diffirent kinds of animals, but thanx for

sharing the info; I'd need more about _you_ tho, not the general /it/.

=]



I will complete the exchange: I have always been behaving a little to

the wolf side and was usualy good at correct communication with cats

(well most humans get the impression they can talk with the animal, but

they get it all wrong), not to mention a little more wolfish phisical

appearance (you know the stuff, out-sticking cannies, back fur, etc,

nothing humans can't assign to genetic coincidences) and a little more

cattish behaviour (some ppl noticed some things, for example that I

sneeze exactly like a cat, etc, again nothing people could take as

anything of interest). 



I liked to look at graphical morphs from humans to animals and

vice-versa for some reason (it's that split background personality thing

again), so I was one day out looking for wolf pictures. The search

engine popped out the AHWw FAQ pages, and the moment I got to the page,

the sincerely enourmous ammount of information got my geekish human half

plugged to the thing, I had to read it all before leaving. The thing

sounded oddly attractive to me, so I gave it a shot and subscribed to

the AHWw NG. 



I don't regret I did it, however I have changed a great deal and

experienced quite a few happiness overdoses, that got me everything up

to skipping school classes just to use everything the group had to

offer. My song "The Werewolf" (no kiddin' ;) describes my transformation

exactly and as I wrote it, it even predicted what would happen to me

next, so there's my split background personality in action again. I

immediately introduced anybody that was new to the group, (which

resulted in my two packmates to tell the truth; they were the first two

;).



And that's about it I think. =]

Hmm. I like abstractions, atho I don't understand a single one... That

would be the one in the sand case then! ;]



Actualy I meant the line between rape and sex, when somebody doesn't

know you well enough.
