Whoa, is that Spearcarrier as in way back in the day, Spearcarrier? Kinships/Pentegram Comix and all that?

*checking current form* Pretty sure it\'s me. Older, fatter, tired, forced back into Wakefulness despite lots of protestations and even trying to file a cosmic restraining order. :-p Nice to see one of the old guard still functions.

Haha, funny you put it that way, since I always thought of myself as \"new guard\" given how many people were around before me. I guess now I\'m an old fruit, seeing as there are many adults now going around calling themselves otherkin who weren\'t born when I was having such crises of \"belongingness\". (I\'m not sure if you and I were still in the same circles when I changed names about 15 years ago - before that I was going by Eshari)

Oh hey, I remember that name! Truth be told, I\'d had this emergency operation a while back and am missing a few memories. I\'ve also been terrible at remembering people from the start.

Welcome to the old guard? Your commemorative t-shirt is over there. We weren\'t sure what size you wore, so we just got twelve of everything.

I\'d left the Otherkin a long time ago. The circles I kept getting drawn into were caustic. One of the first dragons had warned me of it, but being naive I just couldn\'t see. So when things hit that final head, I just had to walk away from everything. Find my center and learn how to make my own boundaries. That sort of things. Coming back to the community was done after a *lot* of calculation and thought - it had my divine mate quite confused as he\'d never paid attention to the Otherkin before and suddenly was wondering what I was up to. Nothing much, jerkoff, just seeing if people have survived.

I have a current theory on the why of some of these new folks who have no past but are having trouble falling in sync. I\'ll write about it eventually.
