No, my name is not homo in the sense of homosexual. Rather, my name is a combination of Homo sapiens and Procyon lotor, the scientific names for a human and a raccoon. The combination also happens to mean "human that washes," and while I don't have obsessive washing, I do have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, so it amuses me.

This journal is mostly for the sake of my own self-discovery. Feel free to add if you are interested, and feel free to ignore if you think I'm nuts. I do have a "normal" journal which is more focused on my day-to-day activities, but as I'd like to keep the two separate for multiple reasons, feel free to just ask me privately for my main account.

Let's get down to the dirt then, shall we?

I am many things. The most confusing of them all from the general perspective is that I'm a dæmian. I will discuss what this means at length in one of my first entries, and for simplicity's sake will just tell you here that yes, it is like the dæmons in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, and no, it is not like demons.

I'm more or less agnostic, but I believe fairly strongly in past lives and reincarnation, stuff like that. Why? Gut instinct. I'm a scientist at heart, but I have memories that clearly aren't "mine." I feel they belong to me, but not the current me. However, I realize I may be making this up and just don't know it, and I have no idea why my soul travels through lives if it does, so I just stick with being agnostic. Especially as all this isn't something I really talk to anyone about.

I never know whether or not to call myself a therian, but I have a strong connection to the bear. I believe in my life directly previous to this one that I was a bear; a cinnamon black bear, if you care about the details. In some of my best dreams I'm in bear-form, and when I'm alone I like to project that form. To me, it's very peaceful.

I'm pretty sure this journal is going to touch on a bit of everything, if I can manage to keep it going. So again, feel free to add me if you'd like, or kindly leave me in peace if this bothers you too much. :)
