Den of the Celtic Kitsune

Knitting, restaurant reviews, social issues, and the general life and adventures of a kitsune of Celtic descent.

In Japanese folklore, kitsunes are believed to possess great intelligence, long life, and magical powers. Foremost among these is the ability to shapeshift into human form; a fox is said to learn to do this when it attains a certain age (usually a hundred years, though some tales say fifty). Kitsune usually appear in the shape of a beautiful woman, a young girl, or an old man, but almost never an elderly woman. Supernatural powers commonly attributed to the kitsune include, in addition to shapeshifting, the ability to generate fire or lightning from their tails or to breathe fire (known as kitsune-bi, literally "foxfire"), the power to manifest in dreams, the power to fly, and the ability to create illusions so elaborate as to be almost indistinguishable from reality. Some tales go further still, speaking of kitsune with the ability to bend time and space, to drive people mad, or to take such nonhuman and fantastic shapes as a tree of incredible height or a second moon in the sky. And that's just what I do every day. You should see what I do in my spare time....

The problem with online dating

Is that you get people like this guy.

"no ,women have destroyed the male race and men listen to you silly women way too much. you want chivalry, humble your heart because thats why a man does those sort of things. and let me tell you something sweety ,men that are rough tend to love more then joe metro sexual types. why cause we dont give a rats ass what you think about our looks so we focus on things that have nothing to do with getting attention for ourselves. that means your needs sweetheart. so hot rod look in the right spot and you'll find what you seek and bring a right heart cause the rough men are not going to hear what you think you got coming cause you have no right to ask for it nor does a man have the right to ask for a ladies grace. the less you ask for the more you get. try it you might be suprised. good luck to you."

I can't believe he spent the time and energy to lambaste me. I can only assume he thought he knew all about me based on a few words in a profile that clearly offended his sensibilities. I'm tempted to write him off as a mysogynist with a chip on his shoulder when it comes to intelligent women who aren't afraid to say what they want, but while I stated my preferences as one usually does for these dating sites, my personal statement is mostly about *gasp* me. Just can't win. One guy accuses me of looking for a sugar daddy, another rants at me for refusing smokers, but this was definitely the topper. This kind of thing would be the other reason I always end up cancelling the subscription. This current round is due to expire at the end of the month which did leave me the opportunity to fire off the following pointed reply.

"I'm sorry, I don't recall asking for your opinion or making an unreasonable list of demands in my profile. But I really must thank you for providing me with such excellent and amusing material for my blog. I'll be posting your scathing criticism of me, a complete stranger, as today's entry.

A word of advice: Get that chip on your shoulder repaired. I don't know exactly what in my profile could have possibly offended you enough to so viciously attack me. If you don't like what you see, MOVE ON. That's the beauty of this format.

Because I am a lady, I will refrain from telling you to "Go eff yourself", but I will say "May you get exactly what you wish for."



Cheers.

Silly man. He was born of a woman. That alone, the ability to bear life, ought to engender a tiny bit of respect. And if that doesn't deserve respect, I'm willing to accept awe (fear?) because I can bleed for a week and not die. I'm really considering that sport idea. I mean, what does a kitsune have to do to get a decent date?
