I've finally figured I'd write an introduction of some sort.. since I've known about this spiffy new (or not so new anymore) site for a while.. and have been a part of.. just lurking in the shadows.. <!-- s

So, I am ArtsyCreature - I love art and I love the word creature. I blush when my fiance calls me a creature.. As far as I know I met my first otherkin friend when I was in college, only because she explained it to me after a while.. (I just have to say she is oh so cute <!-- s

--> ) When I was young I used to physically feel things (that obviously weren't there physically), a hand on my shoulder or fingers through my hair, someone sitting on the bed or someone cuddling with me in bed.. now that I'm older it's not as strong. Though I have had some experience with playing with little balls of energies.. I didn't think I had any obvious otherkin type traits or anything, so when my friend told me I was otherkin I was a little unsure.. she said I am a Leprechaun, though they are quite fascinating little beings, I am not one of them.. I had "wing envy" for a while.. and to come out of the otherkin closet somewhat and say this is strange because part of me is still in that unsure stage, but that is why I am here.. So, a few months ago I've been feeling some energies more.. and lately it's been in my hands and on my back, right around my shoulder blades, and sometimes around my lower back kinda sorta like where a tail might be..It's like a tingly somewhat warm sensation. Right around my shoulder blades is sensitive and I melt when my fiance pets my back.. *purr* So, do I have wings? I don't know.. I really love birds, and I guess I do envy their ability to fly.. but to look into it further I don't know.. I really love trees and wooded areas.. I guess that's about it for me, I'll evolve.. Thanks for reading, I hope to connect with some others..
*oh yea.. important note.. I adore Hippopotomi* <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":mrgreen:" title="Mr. Green" /><!-- s:mrgreen: -->
