Loui's introduction. :3

Good afternoon.

This Otherkin thing is very difficult for me to grasp. I've been researching it for several years [and bouncing around a plethora of different 'kintypes, most of which have been extant animals], and have come to the conclusion that if I am some species of Otherkin [that's an if], then I have no idea of what it is and I'm not allowed to pick something at random. I've figured that if I truly want to discontinue my 'kin-hopping ways, I might as well join what I've heard of as being the most sceptical Otherkin forum around. Would you lot mind an awful lot if I were to bounce the occasional idea against you? I know that I have trouble separating myself from my feelings enough to properly analyse what I feel to be true at times, and I really need that outside influence quite a lot.

I know this is supposed to be an actual introduction, though, not an "I'm a noob, poke me with a stick when I say stuff please." A little about me: I'm having a passionate love-affair with science and I'd like to go to university to study evolutionary biology some day. I identify as loosely Christian, and I'm really probably a completely awful person to discuss religion with because I tend to think that, well, Yahweh isn't the be-all and end-all. Polytheistic Christianity, for the win? The word vampire gets under my skin when applied to real life [come on, seriously, Lestat is a vampire. << it just gets to me that people use the exact same term for their very unremarkable 'conditions'], but given that I'm a dirty filthy little energy sucker, I guess I am a vampire. I once jokingly called myself a tapeworm to my sanguinarian boyfriend [we met in a 'vampire' discussion, it's really not that noobtacular that we're together given the circumstances under which we met].

I love clothing styles from the 1980's and I love wearing big, chunky wooden jewelry. I go to markets a lot and usually only end up spending my money at the food stalls, om nom nom. I think it would have been pretty cool to have been alive in the 1950's, but if I were alive then I would have had to do without the Internet and mobile ['cell' for the Americans] phones. That makes me twitch because I'm a big technophile. I also love space. <3 Mmm, aliens.

Ask me questions. Please. This isn't sarcasm; if I didn't want to be asked questions, I wouldn't have joined.

Welcome to the board! It sounds like you'll fit right in.

So, to start, what things make you believe you're Otherkin and energy-deficient? What other explanations have you explored for those things?

Welcome. It is always nice to be given permission to poke with sticks before one does so, but will leave that for another day, if it seems needed. Granted if I feel it is needed, would do it permission granted or not. But anyhow hope the questions and stick poking helps you find the answers that you are looking for.
