*skips off to enter her data*

did you get the ad sorted out yet? 8D!

Not yet; going to give the admins another day or two to respond to my two inquiries before bugging Dragoneer.

done :D

Yay! Much thanks! *huggles* =^_^=

<3

DONE! You know about things in my brain now... YAY!

*giggles* Well, sorta... =P The data collected is anonymous, so we can't actually say we know anything about YOUR brain per se =P

That was a pawsome survey I took it. It looks like the one that I took when I was @ AC'10.

Yay! Indeed, it's probably much like the one at AC'10 'cause we're the same folks doing it =P *giggles* We keep some of the same questions while adding a bunch've new ones each time!

that's kewl I put a few of my own in the comment section. Maybe I'll see you this year @ AC.

Indeed, I will be at AC this year =D Say hi if you see me ^^;

since I've seen your suit it shouldn't be hard to spot you our in and our out. As for me you don't know what to look out for, well look out for a black Indian wolf named Black Foot, (that's me)

Will do! =^_^=

hehe hehe.

Great! I've done the survey now. ^^

I love it that you keep at it, continuously improving the survey, and probing into what it means to be a furry and who we furries are!

Thanks! =^_^= Indeed, science is nothing if not a continued attempt to improve our knowledge of the world! It'd be silly to think we could learn all about the fandom from just one survey!

For a moment, my dyslexia made me read the journal title as "Surviving Winter 2012". To which I thought, "Maybe he should move further south".

*laughs* It's actually been a pretty mild winter up here this year =D

Mild winters for everybody!

BTW, I if you are wondering where I've been, my creative juices have all dried up. It's like I've run out of stuff to talk about and all my creativity just evaporated for the time being. It is as if I've reached a hard limit as to what I can think about regarding furries until we get new information, or I'm really just mentally and emotionally exhausted because of all the rapid changes that have been going on at work. The stress is turning some of the managers into hickory smoked horse buttholes. It has made it very hard to feel motivated to do anything that isn't career related.

On the plus side, I don't envy managerial. They work between 60 and 70 hours per week but only get a modest 10% pay increase. It really is quite a joke. I don't know what communists keep bitching about when they say that workers get exploited. No they don't. It's middle and lower management that takes it up the ass. If I had to work that many more hours and only get a small bit of extra compensation, I'd be an asshole, too.

No worries; I know how it is. I'm sort've in a refractory period with regard to the furry research at the moment - busy trying to catch up on all the other research I've been neglecting while tending to the furry stuff x.o'

Also - hickory smoked horse buttholes - Dr. Tran reference? =P

Yeah, you got to watch that refractory period. It only gets longer with age, lol.

Yes, that was a Dr. Tran reference from a cup!

I'm not sure if you will see this first or my email, but the Crown Plaza hotel is host to All Con, a nerd convention for nerds of all types. I think it could make a great control group, especially since it is held at about the same time of year and in the exact same geographical location down to the very hotel.

Chronic stress impairs neurogenesis in your hippocampus; perhaps that is part of your problem. Eeek! 70 hours per week!!

You might try a combination of ginseng and exercise:

Good luck! *hugs*

Just completed the survey (a week late, but I've been very busy).

Hope you can come do the survey at FC.

Thanks for completing the survey =^_^=

We're planning to do it at AC this year, but not sure if we can make it out to other cons (I am planning on attending Oklakon, Condition, What the Fur and Camp Feral, but not doing research at any of those!)

Done! I also created a new Journal to help recruit.

Drawing prize?

Thanks Foxy ^^;

It will be the usual $50 Amazon gift card =)

I was referred to this survey and I have just finished it. Interesting research. Always look forward to see what new data will reveal about the furry collective.

Thanks for taking the time to complete the survey =^_^=
