Do you consider yourself to be a Monster? What are the requirements of being one? any thoughts/ opinions?

Be the color green?

Have horns on forehead, or fangs in mouth?

Big bat wings?

Hmm...I dunno. Maybe. :P ;)

Dragons often are green, have sharp teeth (perhaps fang like even), and have large, bat-like wings.

EDIT: what i'm trying to say above is that dragons do fit my definition of monsters.

Not all dragons are like this. For example Chinese dragons are quite different. Then again Chinese dragons are not seen as monsters really ... not in Chinese culture anyways.

EDIT: what i'm trying to say above is that perhaps not all dragons are monsters, though.

I'd love to be Dracula but am probably more akin to a mix of Dr. Frankenstein and his monster.

Not according to one Nickolodean cartoon (the one about the 3 monsters).

Well, zombies are monsters too right?

So maybe we should add corpse-like to the list.

The PC approach - if you truly believe you are, and wish to be, a monster, then you are a monster. Have a monster badge. Have some monster cookies.

Given my true inner morals(it gets pretty bad, only reason i appear as normal as i do is because i have a strong sense of self preservation so i need to humor the other people in this organization they call a society), compared to ALL of my local friends, i am a monster.
