your dæmon's feelings

[ice]

Humans ARE naturally social creatures, but some aren't, like me. Funny, because snow leopards also prefer to be by themselves.

Really? I'm not social at all. I can't stand other people, though it might just be because I got teased and bullied for most of my life, it only stopped when I moved at the age of 12. But even when I was little, I was always alone. I have no siblings, and my parents had to work all day when I was little. I really wish I knew Romulues at those times, it would have made my life so much easier. Sigh.

I was teased when I was little. Everyone called me 'Hannah Banana' It was very mean. Now people call me that only when they are joking with me. I think that is the reason I have a phobia of bananas.

Wei can't really relate to those things since I just turned 14 and I've always been pretty sociable (though the majority of the time I prefer to be on my own in the company of my own thoughts and being able to talk to Kirjavi).

[ice]

I dealt with teasing. There aren't many things that can rhyme with 'Angus', so some people call me Fungus. I don't mind, In fact I find it rather amusing.

[SNL_Ali]

^_^U I feel social........I've always had at least a few friends, and I guess I'm just likable. But yeah, I was also teased when I was little (who wasn't? lol) and even recently. I was mostly teased though because I think outside of the box and just do my own thing most of the time. But really, I've been pretty happy with or without people around.

I had my Grade 8 graduation this year, and instead of wearing a dress, I wore a skirt and a shiney top and a hat. Everyone was all amazed that I decided to be different. It's strange, one moment they love that you can be different, and then tease you because of it.

Rawr, everytime I tried to speak, I would get smacked on the head or beaten up, granted, I did actually beat a majority of those little buggers up.

Hey, Ice, can I call you Fungus from now on?

[Annie]

Fungus... Interesting. I remember for a few years in elementry school I didn't have any friends. All of my friends were at other schools. The number of friends I had numbered about 5.
Everyone teased me, because of my name and because I liked running around on all fours a lot, and for some other reasons I can't quite remember. I was alone, so I had a lot of imaginary friends then. Rano says he remembers that. He was each and every one of my i/fs but he had almost no control over what he said or did. He could comfort me in his wierd little ways, but other than that he said what I wanted to hear and did what I wanted him to do. People just didn't like me. Now they do.... kindof. At least they don't tease me. That just might be because they know if they did, they'd be out cold not long after.... Well, whatever the reason, things are better than before.

Though recently I had someone ask me if I had a potato for a heart. That was after I told them I had heart surgery though...

You just had your eighth grade graduation this year?So did I! And there was a girl in our class who didn't wear a dress but we didn't mind at all. And I wore a really different kind of dress and no one bothered me about that. But then again, our classes were probably very different. I have to admit though, that when I was younger, people did tease me. It was because I have always been into other things like Mythology and science, history and literature-not the usual teen stuff. Sometimes people would even call me "the walking dictionary" and it bugged me for a little while but then I just let it roll off my back. I think it's a good thing to be different and to do your own thing. It makes you unique. I guess some people are just jealous or bothered by that sort of thing. And now back to friends...I've always had at least several friends, I just need my space and Kir even more so.

Ahhh, me too. I know sooo many useless facts its crazy @_@ But I adore mythology and literature, symbolism is really interesting to me, also. I have this great big book of symbolism, it even includes animals in it! It gives handy little symbolic meanings for different animals, if anyone wants I could take a peek in it and find out a symbol (if anyone cares). ;D I'm easily entertained. But yeah....I've always been a little different also. I guess I just know a lot...*shrug*

[Kirjavi]

Something I also really love is language-foreign language. I know this sounds really cheesy but...I think there are some languages that just sound absolutely beautiful. Oh and I love symbolism too. I think it's really neat and meaningful.

[SNL_Ali]

Oh I know! I'm a big fan of Greek, and especially Finnish. Fun languages........and if you and Kir want me to look up the symbolic meaning of a bald eagle, I'm more than willing (Tyb: Like wei have anything better to do anyways.....). ^^;;

[Kirjavi]

That would be great if you would, thanks.

The Eagle, all varieties

"Universally viewed as the king of birds, the eagle is a symbol of the sun, royalty, and the gods, especially the sky gods. All around the world it is a symbol of the sun and spiritual enlightenment, great warriors, and bravery in the face of danger. The eagle is said to assist a soul to its highest level"

Nice!

I like the goose's one....

The Goose

"The goose is a bird of the sun. It was associated with many Greek and Roman gods, and was kept to guard the temples. It thus came to symbolize watchfulness and love. In Hinduism the goose is the mount of the god Brahma and in China and Japan it is associated with the fall moon and is a bearer of good news"

;D Hope that helped!

[Kirjavi]

Thanks I really appreciate it. I love the eagle and the goose ones. We must just be special (Kir:in what way..."special") Just ignore him.
