*sniggers*

Here's one:

You know your other kin when you find sleeping uneccesary for long periods of time, and/or preffer sleeping during the day, and staying up all night, prefferably stalking prey.

HAHAHAHA!!!

Right now, it's 1:25 at my house, and I won't even begin to contemplate going to sleep for at least another 2 hours...

Neco the Nightwraith · Sat Mar 04, 2006 2:30 am

It's only 11:28 pm here, but I've been doing this all week.

But, heck, that's what weekends are for. *yays for Saturdays*

My problem is that whenever I get a thought to post online, I can't sleep until I post it.

I don't go to bed earlier than midnight-one, and that's just on school nights...

Neco the Nightwraith · Sat Mar 04, 2006 2:34 am

Eventually my back starts to ache, so I lie down, then I'm out like a light.

You know you're other kin if you grow your nails long and sharp like talons and/or collect sharp knifes to replace your clumsy human finger nails.

The former of those two, Neco. My nails are always really long... Except when they break...

Oi Firuweata I have Dial up too!

I have cable at my house, but I think I have T3 or something at this hotel. It's really fast...

Lucky you...

My modem's so slow, that it comes complete with a manual crank...

A manual crank?

I've decided that New York comedy clubs are all they're cracked up to be. That was hilarious. More in tune with stereotypes, the comics were really mean. They targeted a group of Indians (from India) and British (from England) and all four of them picked on these same people. 'Twas funny, though, and I think the 'targets' agreed.

Ya know having a new computer does squat when your internet conection is sour....

Firuweata · Post by **Firuweata** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 10:36 pm

Yeah, my computer is good, but my internet...

Let's just say my internet is so slow, that it is run by water, not electricity...

Jishdefish · Post by **Jishdefish** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 11:24 am

Hmm water can be really fast....

...

Is it white?

Stick to the topic please, or make another thread. Keep the spam out of this one.

- You run around, your arms constantly spread outwards and flapping in orders to attempt to gain wind under them so you can take off
- You perch in your window frequently
- You refer to your window as "The window perch"
- You actually sleep/perch there at night because it feels more natural
- When you are going to stop after running, you spread your arms, and do three small jumps before stopping on the spot (Like you are coming in for landing)...
- You start greeting pigeons on the street and refering to them as your wingsibs (they have wings, right? .. Right.)
- You feel you are lacking feathers/scales.

Oooh can I try?

-You feel parched when you skin is dry
-You sleep in a pool
-You don't see the point in washing after you get out of a natral pond
-You don't see the point in drying
-You have your own underwater cave where you relax in solitude
-You enjoy cave-diving

Neco the Nightwraith · Mon Mar 06, 2006 4:28 pm

Ah. Spelunking.

-You leap down stairs and other tall objects, because you're accustomed to having big air-catching appendages.

-If you're tall enough, when you want to find something in the store you peer around like you had binoculars, instead of walking through the store.

-Instead of shouting like an angry monkey, you occupy more space and glare in a reasonably terrifying manner.

-You get quite aggravated at how fingernails aren't sriff enough to survive being used as tools. (There's about three days between when they get long enough to be used as screwdrivers, and when they're too long to survive it.)

-You have every detail of your character memorized, including shape, style and location of minute details. "Nono, she has -twelve- spots on her right leg, you only put eight."

-You cut up your childhood toys to make cooler ones. "Ember, that's not a gryphon. That -was- your rubber duck and Tigger."

-You talk to overhead birds.

- You try to scratch an itch like a cat or dog would.

- You pull your food apart with your mouth.

-When you're bare- footed you try to "dig your claws" in the dirt.

- You try to move an ear in the direction of a sound or someone talking to you.

Haha, I used to do that when I was little. I talked to the doves in the morning.

Neco the Nightwraith · Mon Mar 06, 2006 5:36 pm

How cool is that!

I used to talk to my chickens while hypnotizing them.

I qualify for 7 of those....

Neco the Nightwraith · Mon Mar 06, 2006 7:41 pm

Me too. And I've mentioned this before, I sometimes get a terrible urge to jump off high places...like three story buildings. Or jump into deep places...like into the bay...off a bridge.

Silentiea · Post by **Silentiea** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 9:27 pm

Jumping is almost as fun as falling.

-You always feel better with a slight sunbrun.

Neco the Nightwraith · Tue Mar 07, 2006 7:34 pm

Oh, heck, I love falling! It's the landing that has a tendency to be rough.

Silentiea · Post by **Silentiea** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 10:43 pm

It helps to land in something that matches one of these two categories:

A) VERY soft, A.K.A. a stunt balloon.

B) Lots of somethings that are hard enough to not break and sharp enough to skewer you. A.K.A. Cast iron spikes. Lots of them.
