am easily distracted!).Even so, probably nothing deviating from the 
two mentioned below...

the werewolf effects)

Favourite Song/Band(s):Deviating from the norm, anything classical 
goes!I like too much to be able to name a favourite.
Favourite Were Song/Band(s):Dont seem to play too much of this 
stuff on Classic FM.Pity.However, our local internationally 
renowned boys choir commissioned a cantata about 6 years ago which 
turned out to be a spoof on the traditional werewolf story.

can also work quite well.

Feelings Toward Normal Humans:Generally good, providing theyre 
not related.Otherwise, if theyll accept me for who I am (disregarding 
the Were side of things for the moment), I dont mind them.
Unfortunately, this rules out quite a large number of people...
Personally, any human who puts the need to make big time money above 
those of his fellow humans, their welfare and the environment needs to 
be thrown to the lions (or werewolves).


Personal Lycanthropy / Therianthropy:

I guess that it all started several years ago now, at secondary school. 
Being the brightest student in my year, I was always, and still am to a 
lesser extent, seen as an outcast - some sort of freak different from 
the other children. Over the years, I have had many different insults 
passed my way, most quite harmless, though some race/religion orientated 
(I am Jewish). These have all generally gone in one ear and out of the 
other; except one. Having noticeably more body hair than most of the 
other students of my age, and developing it quite early on, I have had 
claims of being a werewolf. Immediately, I realised that there was 
something fundamentally odd about this particular name calling, and I 
became very interested in finding out more. 

Looking through the local library, I soon found several books on 
lycanthropy and werewolves, although I always felt myself drawn more to 
those on the werewolf movies, given the large number of photographs and 
pictures within them. 

It was not until this year that everything started to make sense and I 
first realised my true nature and being. As I have grown older, I have 
begun to change my lifestyle. I have always felt close to animals - my 
close family have often reckoned that I pay more attention to the family 
pets than themselves, and to an extent this is true - I do not tend to 
get on too well with other humans or make new friends that easily. As 
the years have progressed, I have also found myself becoming more and 
more nocturnal preferring to leave all schoolwork and other mental tasks 
until late at night or in the small hours of the morning - long after 
the rest of the household and neighbourhood has gone to bed - when I 
seem to have a much heightened mental concentration. It is only 
parental pressure that is preventing me from using this more to my 
advantage and staying up much later into the morning, and, at times, I 
resent this. The realisation of my true nature has not as much shocked 
as surprised me. I guess this is due to the final coming together of 
all those ideas and feelings that have been bottled up inside me ever 
since that first name-calling at school. 

While, unlike some of the other Weres here, I will lay no claim to being 
psychic, I have had one or two experiences which might seem to suggest 
that I have some ability in this field. The most interesting of these 
occurred a couple of years ago, while I was watching a rather mundane 
television documentary, which dealt with almost any scientific/technical 
subject you care to name, and several others besides. Anyway, while 
watching a slightly duller part of the programme, my mind started to 
wander, and I found myself thinking about what might be on the following 
weeks show that could be of interest to me, and was astonished to find 
that, at the end of the programme in the whats on next week slot, I 
had predicted correctly. I still consider this experience to be a 
complete fluke rather than a demonstration of psychic ability, 
especially since something like this has only occurred a couple of times 
since. But perhaps I could be wrong and given time, who knows...

At this point, I would like to deviate a little and tell you about a 
very vivid and almost disturbing dream that I experienced the other 
night. I dreamt that I was at school and in a music lesson with the 
other three students in the class. Then for no apparent reason, and 
totally out of control, I experienced a total Mental Shift, so much so 
that it felt as if I was almost on the verge of a P-Shift. Unstoppable, 
I got up from my seat, and leapt onto the floor on all fours, howling 
irrepressibly and making snarling gestures towards the teacher before 
finally calming down and shifting back a few minutes later. Sheepishly, 
and without a crystal clear idea of the events of those few minutes in 
my human mind, I got up and returned to my seat, amid looks of disbelief 
from the other students and teacher. Reluctantly, though rather 
obviously, I had to explain everything about my Were-side to them, and, 
like most good dreams, it was at this rather interesting point in the 
story thatwoke up, with an almost exact recollection of the dream in 
my memory. I called the dream disturbing because I feel that it could 
be a premonition of an event to occur in real life. Just a thought...

Personally, my Dreams and mental-shifting experiences have helped me to 
take a more relaxed view on life. Thinking back to these experiences 
when not in a shifted state seems to make me feel more calm and less 
stressed, although it does seem to raise many unanswered, and probably 
unanswerable questions about humanity as a race in my conscience. In 
this way, my personal lycanthropic tendencies and feelings seem to have 
affected most parts of my life to date. Yet apart from the AHWw members 
here, I have not, and dont think I will ever be able to, told anyone, 
even my close family, of my secret.  I know that my parents think that 
there is something not quite normal about me, but I am almost certain 
that they do not know what it is. I try and hide as much as possible 
from them including this newsgroup and werewolf pictures that I have 
been collecting for some time now. I try to control the mental shifting 
so that I can prevent my were-side from exhibiting itself in my 
behaviour patterns if other people are around, and this is probably a 
relief. I dont think my family would be able to understand, even if 
they could take it in. There are too many people in my life that could 
not handle the truth. 

Personally, I dont think that I (or indeed - and do not take this the 
wrong way -any other Were) would ever be able to achieve a P-Shift, 
definitely totally, and probably not in part either. However, this does 
not mean I, or we here, do not want to. I have always envied those 
people who get to have the Rick Baker Touch and act out the Hollywood 
werewolveson screen. It is a lifetime goal, visionned early on in my 
realisation, that I am only, for now anyway, able to dream about.
