1. Dragons
Holy crap. I am one. There's not much else that I can really say about it that hasn't already been said in some way, shape, or form. I guess that in a lot of ways I consider them paragons of nature, for a number of reasons, including the ability to function on land, air, or water, their intelligence, and other reasons. Even as a child they fascinated me. FUN FACT - my first real memory of dragons is catching a marathon of Dragon Tales when I was like 8 - much too old for it, but I was totally sucked in. Never did see it again until years later. Mom had to pull me away from the TV.
2. Poetry
Heh... I feel proud to have this associated with me. Poetry is probably one of the only really artsy things that I consider myself good at, so I tend to create it often. My muse is very fickle, and goes thorugh a bunch of different phrases... Limerick phase was fun, especially since I really wanted to write love poems. >.:.< On another note, I dislike blank verse or free verse poetry. It feels like cheating - while sonnets, haikus, and other forms have set guidelines, blank verse can be anything and then be called "art". This bugs me. :/
3. Maryland
When I was a kid, I never thought MD was really special - I thought it was like South Dakota - nothing especially special about it, unlike, say, New York or California. As I grew up though, I realized what a place Maryland was, and I'm glad to live here. Being within an hour's drive of Baltimore's Inner Harbor is Awesome. :3 On another unrelated note, I also went through a phase of pronouncing it "Merry Land" although nost pronounce it "Meryl-ind"
4. Creativity
Creativity is something that I wish I had a lot more of. My brain seems to have two modes - Science and Logic vs. Creativity and Artsiness. I have a bit of a difficult time switching between the two. My muse seems to come and go... which is annoying. :/
5. Dragonheart
More dragons. Rawr. I liked the movie, and I LOVE Sean Connery as Draco. In fact, I like Draco a lot as a character - his wry sense of humor is a lot like mine, and I love the scene where he pretends to get shot and goes about it all dramatically. However, I HATE the end of the movie. I know it's suppossed to be all hopeful and happy, but the last dragon on Earth just died. As a dragon myself, that sucks.

1. writing stories
Well, I've written a few, but not in a long while. I have a couple of basic plot outlines written up, in basic basic format, but I haven't done anything for a while. I seem to have trouble writing anything that doesn't eventually relate back to my 'kinness. It's annoying. :/
2. otherkin forums
I haven't been on any in a while, mainly because I seem to have "lost my touch" for them. :/ I do remember having a lot of fun talks and discussions on them, but sometimes the drama got a bit out of hand. On an odd note, I'm still in the top 20 posters at otherkin.com forums because I used to post my poems so much. X3 (At least, I was last time I checked.
3. wings
Woo, wingswingswings. I have them, or at least phantom wings. They're nice and a bit annoying. People can't sneak up behind me very well because of them, and it feels natural to feel them. On the other hand, I tend to have a lot of backaches (related or not. :/) and I'm always slouching and bending forward when I sit. FUN FACT: My wings seem to be movable within limits, sometimes they're in the small of my back, sometimes they're on my shoulderblades, and sometimes I have two pairs. Being a shapeshifter is fun. :3
4. drawing/art
Geez, What a thing for Kahoku to put. :P I'd like to say I'm good at arting, but I seem to have hit a wall recently - I have no mind whatsoever for shading or any kind of 3d drawing, so I've been slouching there. Also, complements to 'hoku on this - I love your art!
5. computers/geekiness
Again, I like the irony of 'hoku being reminded of this by me. I'd like to say I'm a computer geek, but I'm honestly not as into the more modern or deeper things about computers. Sure, I might be able to throw one together, but I'm not nearly as versed with them as some people are. I do some minor programming, and that's cool, I guess.
From sbw_grahckheuhl:
1.) Transformation
Okay, I'm a shapeshifter. I would think that makes it pretty obvious that I have to transform. I know all kinds of different people have/had different ways of transforming, but from what I can tell, I always did mine in a very slow and methodical manner. It involved numbing the area, burning away the old flesh, and regrowing back new, changed flesh. It was certainly easier the more you did it, especially if you had the process memorized.
2.) Tolerance
There's not many people I can't tolerate, and I always like to have more people to know and to talk to. I like people to be really tolerant, but that means tolerating intolerant people too. :/ Not much else I can say here, I guess.
3.) Advance Wars
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW: Strategy games? Yeah. I suck at them. I can't tell you how many times I've lost on Advance Wars: DS... which is generally regarded as the easiest, from what I can gather. I wish I was good at them, but the second my brain starts filling up with all the possible scenarios, it crashes. THe same thing happens when I'll be typing really fast and then I'll just burn out.
4.) Quiet
NEWS FLASH: I am reallly realllllllly quiet. Really. Especially around people I don't know very well. If this is Rau online -> :V , then this is Rau IRL -> :|. Grah can attest to my typical silence, as can pretty much anyone else who calls or skypes with me. I'm pretty sure that I was a telepathic draggy, since my midn works so fast but my mouth refuses to.
5.) Spirituality
Only a couple things I really want to say here: I think spirituality and religion are different - Religion is more group based and "worship"-y, while spirituality is more individual and custom tailored. Also, I consider myself pretty spiritual. WORD.
In other news, Rauthiss has a twitter nao.
