Yet another hello from yet another newb
Posted: Sat Jun 07, 2008 11:19 am
Hello. I found out about this place pretty much because I was just surfing the web, and I have to say, this place beats any vampire community I've ever seen. I'm thrilled to be part of a community that's all about werewolves, and hope to take part in many an interesting conversation. As for about me...I've always loved werewolves. When I was very young, I got Frankentsein and The Wolf Man on VHS, and to this day I still love the old Universal classics. Several years later, my dad introduced me to An American Werewolf in London, which has yet to be topped for me. Today, I'm a fan of all werewolf stories and movies. Everything from the Waldemar Daninsky film series (starring the great Paul Naschy) to The Wolf Man to Underworld to Red Riding Hood to Wagner the Wehr-Wolf is fair game for me. And of course, as should be obvious by my avatar and name, I love the story of the Fenrir Wolf a great deal too.
My interest also branches out into the mystery of whether or not werewolves exist. The mystery of vampires is unfortunately tainted by gothic wannabes who think they're bonafide vampires just because they like the latest trend of blood sucking, and the likes of such tales as Psi-Vampires and Sang-Vampires, which I think are purely imagination, conjured up purely based on film interpretation, and the club-goers who tell tales that would make the Count of St. Germain's head spin. But Werewolves are open ground, and I think there's a much greater mystery when it comes to them. It helps a little that werewolfism isn't something you can just get fake fangs for and say you are one. Since it's much harder to simply fake, I think that makes it a little easier for digging, while at the same time harder, because it's that much more of a mystery.
As for me, I wouldn't say I'm a werewolf, but I've often wondered if I did have some form of lycanthropy. One thing I've noticed is that whenever I have a (totally human) thought of doing something wrong, sickening, or just plain old evil, a strange thing happens. Normally a person would just cringe and think to themselves, "what was I thinking, I'd never do that." But when this happens to me, I go into a kind of spasm, and start growling. Literally growling. It's often left me quite bewildered, once I've settled down to understand what just happened. I'm not sure how to explain it.
Anyway, I hope this wasn't too long of a first post. Again, I look forward to chatting with the rest of the pack, and hope to have a much more fun time here than I have at any know-it-all vampire forum.
