School

We all know that we're constantly learning. I HATE IT!!! Because you're always learning the hard way. The human mind is so bull headed that it never seems to understand that it's not always (NEVER!) right. Sigh... And the way we humans have decided to remedy this is to create something called school.
School, not only does it not stop us from learning the hard way, it makes life harder. Maybe my statement is a little harsh... I love learning. I really do. I feel very happy sitting in a classroom learning new things. But that's when it's not being shoved down my throat, and I'm not stressed out about trying to understand. That's why I love history, the only thing that matters in that class to me is to listen and learn. I don't have to freak out about a quiz that's coming, or how I'm going to fail in my career because I don't understand. People ask why school is so hard for some people. There it is in a nutshell. We don't want to fail, and therefore it is hard. We panic because something doesn't click, and in certain classes if one thing doesn't click, you're in trouble. It's sad, and unless you get a good teacher (and I'm talking grade school too) you'll never catch up.

Also, I really just want to start my life, I'm soo tired of school.'Oh well, 2 more years....

If you're having my troubles, Look at it this way: At least you're not a wolf. Making mistakes or not being able to learn in a wolf's environment usually means death.

Fall Has Come

Fall has to be one of my favorite times of the year. One of the most breathtaking features of this world is the wonderful colors of fall. I can't wait to get up into the mountains to see the leaves change. Unfortunately, life is impossibly busy right now, so the only time I think I'll be able to is when we go up to Huntsville for Pam's party.

Pam's Party. An annual rendezvous for our extended pack. All of us get together to talk and watch movies and to just have family time. I LOVE IT!!!! We've had our Halloween Party every year since I can remember, and that's at least 15 years. :D Sigh, I can't wait, but.. it isn't even October yet.

I miss being a young pup... Nothing to worry about, every day filled with fun things that come from no where but our imaginations... Wonderful times.

Young Wolves Eventually Leave Thier Pack

Young wolves will eventually tire of not being alpha and will leave to start their own life. They, with any luck, will find a mate and start their own pack.

Sounds familiar doesn't it.....

I did the same thing. I found that the world is not fun without the support of pack, or any other wolves. You meet other wolves out there, but they are hostile because they protect their territory and their own. Sad, but true. A person needs someone to lean on, to be a companion that they can always count on.

I found one... Meet JayMy perfect partner. Together we conquer the troubles of our daily lives. We're a pair of young adults, so MANY of mistakes are made. Some times there is tension, but we love each other soooo much. Nothing will ever separate us!
Unfortunately, not all of my previous pack like Jay... which is very sad. Okay let's say some of my "extended" pack members don't like Jay. My VERY extended family. I never see them anyway, so it doesn't really matter. :D Most of my family do seem to like Jay. That's great.

The Beginning Wolves and Families

Hello my fellow Wolves,

Odd greeting? Not so much. If you know anything about wolves, other than the fairy tail BS we hear from our childhoods, then you know that their pack consist of their families. There is a pack hierarchy to keep order within the family. You have the alpha wolves who are allowed breeding rights, the right to eat first (usually they eat after the pups though), and ones who get to mark highest when posting scent marks. Then there are the Beta wolves. These wolves usually end up babysitting puppies when the pack goes to hunt. They're next in command. Lastly, there are omega wolves. Lowest in pack rank. You may think that these wolves must lead a miserable life. But an omega wolf holds some important responsibilities. Wolves, like people, need to blow off steam every once in a while. The omega wolves are wolves that everyone can pick on if they must. Usually alpha wolves control how much beatings an omega wolf gets. Omega wolves are also the wolves who like to initiate play. This binds the pack closer. Wolves need their omega, and they are just as loved as any other wolf in the pack. Packs cry for days when any wolf dies.

I've found that the hierarchy in a typical family closely resembles the wolf pack. There are the alphas, our parents. Allowed to breed, they make the rules. Then the older children usually get the rank of Beta leaving the younger children as the omegas. Sometimes this gets really messed up. For example, my little brother Steven is definitely the alpha among the children, if not the alpha of the whole pack. It's amazing how much like wolves people really are. As will be posted later.
