Okeydoke. One "Origins" story comin' right up, but I don't think it's exactly the most exciting tale in the world...

Truth to tell, "Wolfspirit" is simply my latest choice in a long search for a nick that doesn't suck. Being a Wolf still doesn't adequately describe my Inner me, you see. But paradoxically, it contains the seeds of one set of curious coincidences, in that I was born on Easter Sunday; and that I am the same animal sign (a sheep or lamb) under both the Greek Horoscope and the Chinese Zodiac; and yesterday I found out that there was a fascinating conjunction of stars and planets as seen in the constellation Aries, in 6 B.C. S'okay, I mutter to myself, That's cool; I've got Ruminant written all over me. Too bad the animal itself is confusing... the Ram is crotchety, Sheep are placid and stupid, and Lambs have that whole cutesy innocent reputation; and Yeshua himself certainly wasn't all cutesy-wootsy. So maybe I'm justified in taking the Wolf persona in order to keep the Sheepish part of me on its toes. Well, I certainly hope so. Heh.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot that Wolfspirit was also one of the characters you use in the best 'real' RPG game of all time, "Eye of the Beholder II".

Any other burning questions about me, my life and everything? Yes, no? Good. :-)
