so i was looking for my stats notes (lost the drv and crv ones, oh dear.) and talking to some people about what sorts of animals they'd like to be. i notice most people like happy, free, gentle animals. i used to, too. back in secondary school, i always wanted to be a horse or a dolphin or an eagle. okay eagles are not gentle. but they are graceful. but now i want to be a wolf. to be strong and powerful, elegance and grace in every controlled step, determination and single-mindedness, predator and not prey. loyal to the pack but only the pack. howling to the moon. snapping and biting and growling. adorable wolf pups that grow up to hunt. but mainly, their strength attracts me. not just their obvious physical strength; the power of their limbs and jaws; but also the strength that they represent. untouchable, destructive and aloof. devil-may-care. i'd love to be a wolf. (oh, grandma, how big your teeth are!)

am now having an identity crisis because i would really much rather be a wolf and isn't that frightening? why can't i want to be something nice and safe like a dove?
