Glad you're impressed, I've been thinking of going back to get my Masters, but in History, probably focusing on early Celtic or Crusader history. Not sure. As for the interpretations, I tend to just look at what I have in front of me and the experiences I have had with animals and their mythological backgrounds, and just see where it goes. For example, Harpo reminds me of a racoon, nosing around with ever-curious eyes and when he finds something of interest, he not only pursues it, but does so in great detail, organizing the findings as he goes to suit his thoughts on how it should fit into the world. At the same time, he is sociable, putting aside fear of hostility for the sake of his interest and hoping to be rewarded with an experience as easily arranged and categorized as the objects he enjoys.

So would Draakjacht be an owl? As they are often seen as wise and know-it-alls?

I often see myself as a sea turtle, also thought to be know-it-alls, but also very mellow, going along with life without stirring up terribly much trouble, but at the same time lacking a great degree of ambition. My laidback tendencies are broken up by moments of extreme anxiety, which although I largely manage to survive, I have only a moderate capacity to deal with, and so bear many scars from even small encounters. Any wisdom viewed in them is usually a response to their relaxed nature and tendency to survive despite what outside observers believe to be weakness. Truth is that they are not superior, rather they have traded any potential dominance for longevity.

Their loss.

Yes and no. Turtles could never rule the world, but have thusfar outlived those that have.

Thus turtles are nothing more then terrestial vulcans that live long and prosper

I currently am enjoying this insightful turn for the topic. I personaly never thought myself as a elephant but thanks Draak for the clever examination!

draakjackt, you have managed to completely miss my entire genus (felinus), for instance at the moment i am feeling more like a sabertooth tiger than a small cute cuddly pest. I can and DO shread anything tht irritates me and YOU are beginning to irritate me.

if you hink that i do NOT get irritated, please read reply's 112-116 in my textbin thread, reply 116 accuses me of flaming them when I mearly started to clear the feedlines of the flamers, and when they fire the ENTIRE forum will instantly flash to superheated plasma, not just the target of them.
