About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

My gmail address is oneeyedwolfdog

What's the deal with your nickname? I have a very wolf-like Siberian husky, that's all. I don't have anything to do with wolf/dog hybrids.

Although I picked the handle on a lark a long time ago, it's come to feel like a very good fit, and now I'm quite happy if friends call me wolfdog, or wolfie, or whatever. If you like, it seems to capture two principal parts of my personality very well: both the perpetual outsider who snarls at domesticity, and also the would-be clever performer that enjoys learning tricks, and showing off, that welcomes a warm fire and a little praise.

Since you ask — no, despite the furry-sounding name, I'm not. On the other hand, I consider my emotional bonds to animals a defining characteristic; if you want a name for it, ζωοφιλος is the one that fits.

Blazing fire under the moon
Burning taste of lead
We'll ride forever
Cause' the Iron is stronger than death
