Part 3 of 3
<b>Are there any animals that you feel drawn to or a connection with?</b> Oh I've always felt a connection to wolves. I like how their packs are a very strong bond, and their teamwork with each other is exceptional, not to mention essential to their survival. Unity and unbreakable bonds of fellowship really appeal to me. Also, like a wolf, it's very easy to misunderstand me at first glance. Wolves have always been portrayed as man eating beasts in stories and things, but they actually in general are very shy of humans. They have gotten into livestock before which perhaps helps to mark them as vicious, but they are just hunters, that's how they eat. On my part, because I am so shy and introverted and therefore very quiet, I have been misunderstood as unfriendly and antisocial before, when I'm really not. Once I'm comfortable and you become my "packmate" of sorts I'm able to let go more. The Native Americans saw wolves as wise creatures and that's how I see them, and what I strive to be. They are protective of their loved ones to the death, and I'd give my life for my loved ones also. They are territorial, I also like my space and don't like invasion of privacy or my space being taken up. <b>Are there any animals you are afraid of?</b> I don’t like being near anything that can sting me like bees, wasps, and the like. I do hate things that can crawl on me while I'm unaware but I’m not exactly “afraid” of them. Spiders worst of all. If I know where they are and can see them I don't fear them. But this one time I was outside and this small, black spider fell from a tree on to my shoulder which basically sent me into a panic heh. I flicked it off while letting out a scream and ran as fast as I could back into the house. I guess it's just a fear of being taken by surprise by crawly things. Something about that just freaks me out. Weirdly a giant spider that can't crawl on me would scare me less than something tiny that couldn't really hurt anything and fell out of nowhere on me. I just hate spiders the most because they're the things that will most likely come out of nowhere because they're such good acrobats of sorts with their webbing. Although I've had a few incidents with inch worms hanging from trees, too. It really might be a similar feeling to the weird seaweed thing I have going on, because that kind of weird creepy skin crawly feeling just is... ewwwww. <b>Why would you like to be an animagus?</b> I think it would be the coolest thing ever getting to experience the world through the eyes of another creature. I always wish that I could stare at the world with other peoples' eyes just to see what they see and experience what they experience and see how it's different than my own, and I'd love to do that with animals, too. It's got to be a very interesting perception, and I think seeing with other perceptions can help make a person a more well-rounded individual and be that much more open-minded with the world. I often wonder also, when it comes down to what kind of music people like, how everyone can hear the same song so differently. I mean, one person can absolutely love a song while the person next to them rather smash the stereo heh. I am wildly curious about things like that, so yes, being an animagus appeals to me in that sense. There's also the fact I'll be even closer to nature in animal form. And as I said, nature is sacred to me and a strong part of my personal spirituality.
