The Longest Journey

2008-09-06T23:25:00.000-07:00

That L. Shannon sent the manuscript to Acair for the newest book about us. I haven't seen it yet, but Acair's response was "Wow." So I'm guessing he was pretty impressed. He didn't tell me much more than the basics. This story is about Adhar and Cradh and follows the clan through the centuries. Not sure exactly how much it shows. I hope not any of my more embarrassing moments.

What I do know is that Acair asked the author to make a few changes including some omissions to protect some one's secrets. His maybe? I really can't imagine him even having any secrets.

That's it for now. More soon.

Modern Day Werewolves... my ass

2008-06-25T22:48:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I was watching a little tv with the dogs and on comes a show about dogs. Yep, little ears perked and I yawned. It's all good. Or at least it was right up until the point they called dogs...

Modern Day Werewolves

Now besides the fact that I'm freaking insulted. I mean I'm one and I know some who I'd probably call DOGS, but werewolves are humanoid. Sheesh, DOGS are not part wolf--THEY ARE ALL WOLF. They just happen to be packaged up in pretty wrapping that comes in a variety of shapes and sizes.

But dogs are NOT human. NOT part human.

It's that misperception that screws dogs over, when their owners treat them like children or little people in fur coats. It just isn't right. Dogs have needs that are different from people. And while I'm on the rant, WTF is up with having vegitarian dog food? I mean for God's sake, they are carnivors. They eat meat. They CANNOT live on veggies.

Back to Modern Day Werewolves. After I flipped out and considered never watchign tv again, I calmed down and tried to figure out what they were trying to get across, besides the "part human" stupidity. I think it all comes down to helping humans relate to dogs. So here is my question: WHY CAN'T HUMANS JUST RESPECT OTHER SPECIES FOR WHAT THEY ARE? Why do they have to compare them to people to understand how to interact with them?

I deal with the communication barrier between people and dogs all the time and it all comes down to one fact. Dogs can't talk with their voices so they do it with their bodies. Body language can be jsuta s clear sometimes more clear than spoken words. Dogs that seem to get their people tend to have humans who unconsciously use body language that the dog understands.

Usually the key to helping any dog's behavior problem is to work with the people's behavior.

I'm getting a bit off topic here. More on dog behavior and people's stupidity on a later date.

We finally have a biographer!

2008-06-15T08:08:00.000-07:00

Sort of.

As it turns out there is an author out there watching us. She claims to be a friend, but I guess we'll see. Funny thing is she has two books out about us already. Seriously, I had no idea we were so popular. Ha ha!

Acair ran out and bought the books and we've all been reading them. The first is Father of the Wolf and is about our days of "coming out" in 1980. Not sure how this writer saw so much but it did remind us all of those days. We laughed over Athair and Hope's first wild night and a few sappy girls (Mo) cried over someof the sad scenes.

All in all, we agree on one thing. It's accurate. Perhaps too accurate. There has to be some magic to it.

Oh and the second book, Destiny was just as spot on. Good thing that one took place way back in 1983, or some of those secrets might have been dangerous.

Anyhow, Acair contacted the writer just to be on the safe side and she promised that she had no ill intentions toward us. She said "I'm just so facinated and impressed with your clan that I had to share you with the world."

I guess there were some ground rules laid and some alegiences paid. Not sure but she might even have been adopted into the clan. They also talked about her current book, The Longest Journey. I'll post more about that when I know more.

She changed the password. Which is why it has taken us so long to get back on this blog. Allaidh you evil vixen... you actually used a password we didn't expect. I mean how could we have guessed that you and your skinny butt would use ILOVEPIZZA for a password. Very clever!

But after over a year, we finally figured it out, and are back in control of our blog.

As an update... we have no update. At least nothing Earth shattering. Oh Romie and I are going skiing this weekend and taking the rugrats with us. His boys are truly going to make us both go gray. Rina said she'd kill them for us, but alas we keep distracting her with video games. That woman of mine is downright wicked at Halo. And not half bad at skiing although she said she has other plans this time. The truth is I don't think she could handle the thought of all that masculine lupine posturing. LOL but I'll let her tie me up when we get back--

Okay Romie said none of that on the blog sooo just use your imagination.

I'm hiding in a closet so I can post this before she finds me. I already saw her post and I don't regret the coming pain one bit. So this might be my last will and testament. As it is, Romie is keeping her busy while I post this most adorable love note, that I found in her old diary.

Here it is...

I love you!! I love you!! I love you!!!

You are everything I have ever dreamed of in a man. So handsome and brave. So strong and in charge. You are perfect. Someday you will look at me and see me looking at you. Someday you will see the real me.

Until then... I will be in a shadow, yearning for your light.

I will watch you every moment of the day. I will follow wherever you would lead. I will love you forever.

I would have left the signature off but what would be the fun of that? As it is I will have to hurry back to California to escape her wrath. But it is way worth it.

Mo- the incorrigible

Holiday decorating

2006-11-30T22:00:00.000-08:00

As it turns out the little cretins have messed up my house. So I am officially banishing them from any more rummaging.

Do you hear me, you shaggy rats. Keep you nose out of other people business.

Stand by me

(from a private letter that was never mailed.)

1981

Dear Brother,

I'm about to do something stupid. I already know it's stupid but I'll be doing it anyhow. All my life I have walked a fine balance between what I wanted and what I had to do and only now do I realize how easy it has been compared to what is likely around the corner.

I rarely foresee the future like you do. For me it is more a feeling of what will come. I feel that this task I have agreed to will have both positives and negatives. I know it is worthy but I also can feel the great price I will pay. I know in my heart that I will pay for/with my life to achieve the success that you desire so strongly. I walk into hell for you and I only hope someday you will forgive me for all my mistakes. For I have made many in the past and will surely add to that list in the future.

Everything I am and will be is for you.

I've never told you how much I respect you for your values and your honor. I only wish I could have been half as good as you. You have a strength that in its own way is even stronger than my own. If I don't return from this task, have faith in yourself. You are stronger than any enemy. The only possible defeat that you have to fear is at your own hands.

Random thoughts by a stupid bastard teetering on the edge of idiocy. Remember my love and loyalty even if I never spoke the words.

(no signature, just these lyrics)

When the night has come and the land is dark

and the moon is the only light we'll see.

No, I won't be afraid, oh I won't be afraid

just as long as you stand, stand by me.

Ode to Pizza

2006-07-24T21:13:00.000-07:00

I found this note from back in 1981 and thought I would add it here.

Mo, the magnificent

Ode to Pizza

So fine and warm

so rich and cheesy

You fill my soul

as well as my stomach

Pizza with everything

or pizza alone

you offer me all

without judging me

For sitting here

at the breakfast table

with four slices

nuked to perfection

Oh pizza my pizza... yum

yum! I ate all four slices and I know Romie is going to be pissed. But see I do know my brother better than any other soul out there. so I threw another pizza in the oven. Bake at home kinds aren't quite the same, but I think he'll understand. He always understands.

I know I don't get serious too often, but the other day I was really down, and he managed to cheer me up by inviting everyone over for a party. Okay so having everyone over started a brawl and pretty much trashed the whole valley, but it was fun. Acair stopped the brawl while Sgrios laughed his ass off at us mud wrestling.

The interesting thing was that us trashing the place, I think was a good thing. The next day Acair came around to everyone and asked our thoughts about setting up an official, up to date estate. They are still planning it all out, but from what I've seen it looks darn good. He's even tearing down the cabin to make room for this place. Sgrios wanted to be build underground for better defenses, but Acair pulled rank and declared that it will be above ground and spacious. I heard Allaidh say something about lot of windows.

I personally hope that he lets us keep separate homes. The idea of us all under one roof makes me itch. I know that if we are bumping into each other at every turn that tempers will run hot. As it is Allaidh and Acair are spittin' at each other and Adhar and Cradh are having another rough patch and Sgrios looks like he wants to kill something. In other words... well, here's hoping that we don't end up killing each other.

Mo, the pacifist.

P.S. Just an update. The estate was built, and it isn't as bad as I was worried about. The house is a two story brick job with lots of windows. It stretches around in a U shape with I think twenty bedrooms. Hope and Athair have a suite in one wing even though they usually stay out at Keeper Hill near the Bear Clan. Dan and Rath both have rooms in the house but both seem to be away from the teaglach more often than not. After a few major problems, Acair agreed to let us build our own smaller houses. Romie and I share one that is about 200 feet behind the main house. The truth is that about all we do in our house is sleep and escape anybody who might be raising tensions at the main house, which was dubbed Black Rose Manor. Oh and Cradh and Adhar have a house across from ours. Romie calls it Gingerbread Hall because I swear it looks like it came right out of a fairytale. Well enough about that.

Mo.

West Coast

1985-05-23T21:07:00.000-07:00

Romie here. Mo and I are on the west coast! I hope and a skip from Hollywood? Can you believe it? Yeah, me either. It so bright out here. Seems like the sun is always out. And the people... Wow. so many different kinds. and everyone seems "bigger" here.

Well, not bigger than Dan of course. But you know what I mean. Like everyone and everything is more important. It's crazy.

So you're probably wondering what we're doing out here? Us too. Not too much in the details department. Seriously in the dark.

But the surfing is awesome.

Romie.

Big Plans

1984-01-15T21:01:00.000-08:00

Wow, plenty happening here. Those with say put Rath in charge of the Casino, which is cool I guess since his new mate has the most experience. Destiny was a dancer at the club before we, ah... Guess you could call it a hostile take over. Best fun we've had in ages.

So we have a casino club. Rath wants Romie and me to run security. Will have to share some of what we've been working on. It's exciting times!

Totally New Awesome Hangout!

1984-01-02T18:02:00.000-08:00

Hey all!

Although this blog is officially owned/run by LShannon, actually it is us twin wild things, otherwise known as the Shaggies that are running this coolest hangout.

The original blog was taken down due to historical conflicts. In other words, The casino/club had to hide a few things. So here it is a whole new beginning. Rath has let us take over the moderation of the site, but only with the promise that we let Adhar watch over things. She promises to not spoil our fun.

So welcome to the spot on the web for werewolves, demons, vampires, selkies, fairies, and maybe even a few humans! Come on in. Pull up a beanbag. Plenty of food and drink and cheesy movies.

Mo and Romie (Moderators without moderation)

test.

1983-12-31T20:57:00.000-08:00

Is this thing live?

Mo here. We're setting up a blog for well... for umm... Let's say its for Totally Loki, our new casino! Awesome huh?

Stick around and watch it all come together.

Mo
