goldish-yellow.
Physical Description, were: Since the closest I come to physically shifting 
is in my dreams, it's whatever I want.

Human Career: I'm a biotechnology student. I'm fulfilling every student's 
dream, though, beacuse I actually get paied $10 per hour that I'm in the lab 
outside of class (which is really the only time I can get in). Isn't 
work-study wonderful? ;) I'm also an EMT and I tutor.
Human Interests: Writing, reading, computers, medicine, teaching myself 
stuff, roll-playing games, listening to my music, talking to my friends. You 
know, what every 18 year old does for fun.

Hunting Tips: Strike from above. 
Favorite Non-Were Mythological Beast: Dragons. 
Feelings towards Vampires: I don't know any.
Feelings towards Normal Humans: I like them in general. Most are rather close 
minded, but we've gotta live with them, so what's the use in not liking them 
in general. Some are just outright jerks, though some are just jerks (and 
strangely enough, about half of them can be found on the Mass Pike around 8 
am or planning how to route traffic around the Big Dig).


Personal Therianthropy: Ack! Now here's where we get into essay questions. 

Frankly, my therianthropy is part of who I am. I don't think about it that 
often. Maybe some of you say that it should be so important that I should sit 
down and think about it at least once a day (someone did say that to me once, 
by the way). Well, unless you're a philosopher, do you sit down and 
contemplate why you like (or dislike) cheddar cheese every day? Of course 
not! Why should you? It's just a part of who you are. Instinctual.

But you know what? I also don't want to think about it too much.

I'm a scientist. I have been since I was a little kid. I can be sickeningly 
clinical about things at times. Well, a while back it was suggested to me 
that therianthropy could just be a self-induced dilusion. A roll-playing game 
gotten out of hand. So I thought about it. You know the conclusion I came up 
with? I don't care. If it is a dilusion, then so be it! Reality is what you 
make of it. If you believe that therianthropy is real, then it is. If you 
believe it isn't, then it isn't. I chose the former.

Then again, maybe it's not a dilusion, but a very real thing.

I honestly don't know which I believe, but either way, I believe that I am 
what I am, and I'm damned proud of it.
