Guess who's here? Again?

**Tamias.Squirrel** · 10-07-2008 03:54 AM

Alright, alright, yeah yeah. Devotees (I have those) will remember that I made an account on this forum... oh... eight months ago or so. I participated a bit, got into a few provocative arguments, tried and failed to recall my dreams, and stopped coming here forever.

That last part's actually a lie. I'm back! The reason I'm making a new newbie thread again is that I feel that a certain very significant event that occurred in my life recently has finally given me new drive and passion to reach the icy mountaintops of my ambitions: I have this felling all of a sudden that if I can only keep trying, day after day after day, eventually I will succeed. It's a very powerful, unifying, purposeful feeling. It's like I'm a whole new person. Who needs a new newbie thread. And a legion of loyal fans.

Plus, a lot of you guys didn't have the pleasure of meeting me the first time around. Now's your chance. Here's a rehash of my little adventure of a life.

My name is Tamias, and I am a Golden Mantled Ground Squirrel from Yosemite National Park. After some very loud events involving jet engine turbines, extra terrestrial moisture, and pistachio ice cream, I found myself under the careful guardianship of a human boy named Ben, who lives in Tucson, Arizona or, as I call it, the devil's summer home. It is hot here (COOL LOL font color).

We're both non-religious, though we dislike being labeled atheists. We have dedicated our lives to protecting nature and showing people the wonderful sweetness of Earth through music, song, and literature. Ours is the ideology that we should love each other and our planet unconditionally because... well, because we're mushy like that.

Lately, I've been inspired to take up lucid dreaming again. It seems like a fantastically new and relatively untouched realm of experience just waiting to be had, and that excites me more than you can know. That's about it! On second thought, I'm not sure what I expected when I created this thread. Now I kind of expect to be yelled at... the internet community hasn't been very kind to me.

I'd really like to know where people are getting these huge melatonin tablets... 100-200mg? Then again, that sounds like it could kill a squirrel. I think I'll stick to the dietary supplements and see if those do anything.

It'll be a pleasure to meet all of you again, I'm sure! Please stop by the thread and say hi! I look forward to explaining to you, at great length, how a squirrel can actually use the internet. You people all act like it's the hardest thing in the world, honestly. Call me if you get a squirrel who can have a lucid dream. And let me talk to her. Because I'm dying to know how she did it.

Your friendly neighborhood GMGS,
~ Tamias Squirrel

Please stop by the thread and say hi!

"Hi!"

Welcome back to DV! I don't see many squirrels, being a deep sea creature. (Don't ask how I get an internet connection 2,000 feet underwater).

**Tamias.Squirrel** · 10-07-2008 11:43 PM

You know, as long as you don't ask how the internet can exist in these desert temperatures (because, as everyone knows, stuff stops existing starting at about 100 degrees Fahrenheit), we're cool.

Thanks for saying hi, by the way ~<3 You're my new favorite Cephalopod ('course, my old favorite died like two years ago. Something about CO2 emissions and ocean temperature... what do I know).

^_^

**hisnameistyler** · 10-08-2008 04:01 AM

Welcome back! good to have you around. I'm actually brand new here myself (well, in the sense of when I came here the first time, I haven't left yet =P) and am equally interested in dreaming.

**heebiejeebies** · 10-08-2008 04:06 AM

You're a furry, I take it?

I have fur. You know, a lot of people think that being furry would be uncomfortable or more trouble than it's worth, but you know, it really isn't. It makes it possible to cuddle with practically anything and pretend that the thing is also something furry. It's like living in a pillow, except the pillow is you. But I have to say that water and fur do not mix. I once fell by accident into a marsh in Ben's great aunt's backyard in Pensacola... yuck.

I've heard that some rodents can be born without fur, like hairless rats. There's a disease called alopecia in humans that can cause complete hair loss, but it's very rare. I think that more animals on Earth have hair or fur than not, so it really shouldn't come as a surprise that I'm furry.

What a strange person.

**heebiejeebies** · 10-08-2008 04:19 AM

I asked if you're a furry, not if you're furry. I'll take it you are, in which case that's mighty rich you calling me strange.

**lucid4sho** · 10-08-2008 04:21 AM

alopecias not a disease, its the next stage of evolution!!!

(says balding guy)

Well that's just bad grammar on your part. "Furry" is an adjective, the last time I checked. Are you a scared? Are you a baccivorous? Not in the English language you can't.

...Yup:

2. covered with fur; wearing fur: Many furry animals are in danger of becoming extinct.
3. obstructed or coated as if with fur: a furry voice; a furry tongue.

...I'm the second one. Good luck in school.

You know what I mean.

Nice response, anyway.

**imj** · 10-08-2008 02:47 PM

Your motivation motivates me....I'll give you that

. So what's your plan to LD? I mean what do you intend to use to LD...

For such an intelligent squirrel, you are wildly, fantastically off on this point. Hair is found exclusively on mammals, a class of a phylum of a kingdom, making up an excruciatingly small portion of all animal life.

Self-centered much?

**Hukif** · 10-08-2008 07:36 PM

Hm... Squirrel uh? "hugs" Interesting, I knew they were smart, chasing and stealing food and money from humans in parks, thats not normal <.<
I mean... welcome back to the site, hope you find tons of fun in here! Oh and lucids too. I feel late too <.<

**mini0991** · 10-08-2008 08:03 PM

You sure meet some characters on the internet.

Wow, can you quit being a dick? Fuck off, it's the newbie zone.

Welcome Tamias.Squirrel. But welcome back..? Did you have an old account here?

**Cacophony** · 10-08-2008 09:48 PM

Hi I am a Jarring, discordant sound.

Whoops. I blame the computer. The computer is biased. Towards mammals. Which I don't mind. Being a mammal and all. Is that selfish?

And I wouldn't call myself "such an intelligent squirrel;" being able to type does not make one "intelligent." I've been on the internet long enough to know. Also, I broke a shoelace this morning. Ben was mad.

OMG *Snuggles back* Sorry. That's just what we do. Affection weirds some people out for some reason; I dunno. I think cuddling is fun. And I don't consider it "stealing," since squirrels don't tend to possess a sense of ownership... I think of it more as "one-way sharing."

I dunno. I can barely recall any dreams yet xD I remembered some snippets this morning, which for me is a big improvement, but I'm not going to try LD'ing until I have much much better recall.

Lol yeah, like that guy from YuGiOh The Abridged Series:

ARGH, my mortal enemy! (I'm a composer of sorts... when my music doesn't sound right, it really gets my chipmunk.)

@ Grod: Go easy on him; (whispers) I think something's wrong with his edumacation. Because he asked if I was a furry. I didn't want to say anything, but he kept pressing it, so... I'm just gonna leave it.

THANK YOU ALL FOR SAYING HI!
I feel all warm and bubbly inside ~<3

You didn't answer my questionnnn though.

Hot damn.

@ Grod: Hint. The answer's in the second sentence of the first post. Yoink.

**Grod** · 10-09-2008 05:30 AM

mmmmmmmmmm

**Robot_Butler** · 10-09-2008 05:04 PM

I think I almost ran you over yesterday afternoon. You squirrels need to be more careful crossing the street.

You humans shouldn't build them where I want to walk. And squirrels are far better walkers than humans are drivers.

I can't argue with that

**Dream_er** · 10-09-2008 10:15 PM

On second thoughts I may leave lucid's alone...
