Furriness
=========
['Phenotype' - the species of animal(s) that influence your feelings,
emotions and thoughts]
20. What are your phenotype(s)?
Arctic Foxes, Grey Wolves, Huskies, Cerval, Ferrets, Otters, Clydesdale Horses, Axis Deer
21. How/when did you discover the identity/species of your phenotype?
I characterized my lack of friends and myself as furries, making each person the animal that I felt best described them. It wasn't even non-specific, like 'dog' or 'cat'. I went into full detail and found a specific species that described them. I was just a big nerd and knew a lot about animals when I was younger. As for my own, it was the same thing. I discovered other animals that I could relate to extremely closely, and found deep attachments to these animals.
22. What conditions help you to enjoy/express your furriness?
Being around my boyfriend or online were I can be amongst people like me.
23. How and when was your furriness first evident?
A long time ago. Like 10 years ago, when I found out that what I'd been drawing my friends and myself as actually had a fandom.
24. How much of your furriness is 'instinct' vs 'learned'?
Well, I've always felt more attached to animals than humans. I boycotted myself from humans, mostly because EVERYONE hated me when I was growing up for being a singer. (I lived in a Hick town where everyone was a Jock, okay?) So I found attachments in animals. I guess it's mainly instinct, but I took after a lot of the animals as well, so slightly learned.
25. How does your furriness influence your thoughts and emotions?
It made me hate the human race even more than I already did.
26. Has your furriness improved the quality of your life?
Yes. I found something that could help me escape the prejudiced society we all live in. It's fun, it's expressive, and it's extremely personal.
27. What do you think caused your furriness?
The fact that I hate humans. I got more attached to them, and found more similarities between them and myself than humans.
What opened my eyes to the furry fandom was the game Furcadia. My friend sent me a link to it, and we delved into that world. She later came to hate furries, while I am still one. So, yeah...
Acting furry
============
28. How does your furriness manifest itself externally?
Everything I do is more animalistic than human. I am extremely alert when I sleep, like a Fox or a Wolf. I love wearing collars, partially because I think they are just plain sexy. I like the outdoors more than the indoors. I'm Clairvoyant, so I can see spirits and auras and sense stuff like animals can. I'm just not fully human, in general... O___o
29. Do you act furry in public?
Depends.
30. How does your furriness influence the way you interact with people?
I interact based on how schizophrenic I am at that moment. Depending on which emotional state I'm in, I interact differently...
31. How much control do you have over your furriness?;
Hmmm. Well, in general yes, but I've made a few slips before...
Furry thoughts
==============
32. Would you become an animal/furry, if you -couldn't- change back?
I would become a furry. I wouldn't become an animal because that would be giving too much up (Come on; VIDEO GAMES! OAO). If it were irreversible, though, I would probably just give myself Arctic Fox ears and a tail.
33. Describe your ideal physical form.
My fursona Kalen. Because he is a Fox Demon, and so he can change his shape. ^^
34. What kind of furry, non-sexual fantasies do you have?
Biting: I just think it's really fun. I don't know why.
Ears & Tails: I think they are the cutest things in the world. They are sooo much more emotionally expressive than humans ears and our stubby, almost non-existent tails.
Transmogrification: It would be cool to be able to switch between Furry, Animal, and Human forms. You keep the same mindset, and change your shape.
Running: Not really a Furry fantasy per ce, but a fantasy nonetheless. I would love to just run and be able to keep up with a pack of wolves or horses or something. Just run through the woods and feel truly animalistic.
Religion/Spirituality
=====================
35. Is your furriness compatible with your religion?
Yes. I'm a Wiccan. We are generally accepting.
36. Has your furriness led you to reconsider your religious beliefs?
Nope.
37. Have you ever communicated with an animal spirit?
I've had some weird synchronized moments with my pets, and I have really good connections with animals, but nothing as immense as talking to one intelligently or inquisitively.
38. Do you believe that you were an animal in a former life?
Yeah. I believe every soul has been around since the beginning of time, and that we will go through every phase of life possible, until the end of time.
39. Do you believe that you have an animal soul?
I believe that souls are interchangeable; they don't necessarily come labeled as Animal or Human, Male or Female. I just believe that I've been through many animalistic lives, and this is the first time I've been human, so I have trouble adapting to this soul.
Animals
=======
40. What animals are you most/least comfortable with?
Most comfortable with Foxes and Ferrets. Least comfortable with Adult Pigs. Don't know why, but I can't stand them. They scare the shit out of me. Not piglets, but full grown pigs.
41. Do you believe that animals have ESP?
Yes. I believe that ESP is solely instinctual. We as humans have little to no instincts, or are out of touch with them, while animals still use them, and are therefore in touch with their ESP.
42. Do you think it is acceptable to hunt/raise animals for food?
Hunting is fine. Humans are SOME animal's natural predators. I don't think we are the top of the food chain, and I do not think that we should have the right to kill off whatever we choose for whatever reasons we may have. I do not believe in Animal Farming. It is sick and wrong.
I don't even eat meat as it is, so either way I don't like, but I do accept hunting. NOT MASS SLAUGHTER.
43. Do you think it is acceptable to hunt/raise animals for fur/leather?
No. If you're going to use it solely for that, you are wasting and should be killed and skinned yourself. If you are using the entire animal, at least you're being respectful to it's corpse.
44. Do you think it is acceptable to hunt/raise animals for sport?
That is just disgusting, sick and twisted.

Sexuality/Relationships
=======================
[Remember, feel free to omit any questions which you would prefer not
to answer]
51. Describe your ideal partner.
Attractive, smart, taller than me, open minded, kind, GAY, accepting...
I like guys that are skinny and slim, but not weak. They don't need to be big and muscly to impress me. Honestly, if they've got a pretty face/eyes, I'm practically theirs. (Sorry, I'm actually THAT shallow.) I prefer guys that're taller than me because I am MAJORLY subby, but being 6'3", it's hard to find tall, sexy, gay guys. They CAN'T be more than 3 years older/younger, and cannot be bald/short haired. I'm extremely particular; I know.
They have to be smart or thoughtful. I can't stand talking to people and having to explain everything five times. This is a given. They need to be open-minded and accepting. If they're prejudiced about anything, I'll get pretty pissed. Everyone deserves a chance (I still hate the general public though...).
I really wish that those sexy guys from Final Fantasy and all those other RPGs and Animes I am addicted to would come to life and carry me away sometimes... *Sighs*

Paws, Biting, Licking, Collars & Leashes
