Oh that was so much fun yesterday. It was hot and humid quite a bit but it cooled down so I got some fursuiting in. The rain popped up in various spots on my trip including at home; it nearly put me off going until I heard it was sunny over at the meeting. Upon arriving, the toll officers didn't know where to send me, would have been easier if we were registered or if I remembered just to be shown the disc golf course.

I arrived and we had 135 folks show up including fursuiters! I suited at the start, had fun, shown off my "Free Hugs" sign. Before I put that sign away, I got triple hug/glomped by three by fursuiters, that was wonderful - heavy purrs...

Then more food, chatting, and another round of fursuiting, this time got into a big fursuit hug group. It was like a big standing fursuit pile even if I had to shift feet once or twice. My vision was just covered with fur and hugs. Along the time I meet  Twidget. Very very cuddly cutie, I'd love to take him away for a few hours of fursuit cuddles.

I am very pleased with the event. It was sad it had to end but there is always the next event and I hope to see all my friends again when that time comes.

It was a blast. I just went for Saturday and what a day it was. I went to bed early so I could make the drive to the convention. I got there early and even then I was hardly in a line for my badge.
I got some nice stuff from the con even while being just a regular day attender. The theme was 90s cartoons so the badges show a parody of Johnny Bravo.
I attended Saturday morning cartoons, left to get into suit before the parade. Lately when I've worn my head it would feel like it was in a vice. This time a short time after the pressure let up... I can stand wearing my head again!
I happily joined the parade. This was a little different but fun. I meet furs too for the first time in person: Duncan, Adrior Mom,  nightfirex, and  miezekatze. Also saw old friends:  sparkthedalmation, SparkyBlueFox,  Hypr,  Asino,  lamper, Meiko,  expandranon, Poison,  lunavixen69,  mr-teriyaki, and Floyd.
Enjoyed panels, saw friends, got lots of hugs. Got stuff I wanted at the con.
Then as it was my birthday and because he is such a great friend, Asino got me a new tail. A new tail that works so well I can half suit a lot better than my old tail! I can't express how wonderful this means to me. (An orange tail that matches my fursuit better than my golden tail.)
I left around 8-9 and got back home at Midnight. I have cleaned my stuff and plan to sleep in. Even only for a day, I feel so wonderful.

It was a blast and here are some highlights.

One volunteer wanted “Blaidd drwg” which is German for “Bad dog”. Palasm looked sternly as she needed to spell it. Kenre noticed and said, “she's gonna slap you” for not spelling the name.

I volunteered and helped in the main lobby, then the Sponsor's lounge, and then at the Artist's alley setting up the tables. One particular artist was named "GOD" and had a dominate commanding personality. She planned to swipe me for help moving her stuff to the table.

Another highlight is when Alakali and Uncle Kage were on stage before Lamper's Happy Hour. They talked about conventions and Uncle Kage joked on how his convention were bigger than Alakali's saying, "It is probably the only way I am bigger than you.” Also SyberfoxKitsune had a funny badge that said, “Furry Elk Whoo Hoo” on it. Upon inquiring about the badge Syberfox said it was a story for Lamper to tell. Also during that day, Tyzin took Scynt for a short ride on his motorcycle with both of them in fursuit.

One of the new furry friends I have made at the con is Lunavixen69. Her tail is SO FLUFFY! I grabbed and hugged it a lot and even relaxed on it.

Another highlight was right during the Charity Auction, Teriyaki appeared. His trip with his girlfriend in Chicago got postponed. Was glad to see him as he was able to join us and be the “Raving Cat” later on that night.

Last highlight while lounging in the center's lobby I was chatting with Zack and about how G-Wolf spoke of needing a massage. GOD was walking by and said, “Someone needed a massage? Who needed a massage?” And Zack said how he could use one. GOD pointed to the floor and stated “Lay down right now!” Zack quickly did so and was getting a wonderful massage treatment.

After the massage, GOD ran to the Adult Karaoke and got everyone to sing “Hotel California” together and inspired everyone to join, even staff. And we all had a good time singing and hanging out. After singing the music was switched to the “Dead Dog Dance” and GOD lead all others dancing and the room was on fire. For once in my con attendance I am not unhappy at the end. It was just that wonderful.

Wow, so long since I made a journal. Have not been thinking of much things to say.

In recent events the car I drove had a spaz early Feb. I later on was told that the car is so old it is too much to keep fixing it. So after I tried to jump it turns out the alternator or battery was kaput. So the only thing to do was junk it. I am annoyed because this car lasted only 2 years. Granted I drove a lot but it should have lasted longer. I hope that lemon seller has bad luck for a long time.

Also another thing that occurred. For a class trip, the class had to go to Chicago during March 27-28 preventing my attendance at MCFC. Tried to make it up by seeing a buddy while in Chicago but that failed. Was at a hostel, which is like a college dorm but more spartan than I've seen.

Due to the car trouble I had to alter my plans for GLFC. I will be carpooling and staying at the hotel instead of last year's back and forth each day (well one time someone helped with room). I will come on May 21 and return May 24 or 25 depends on how things go. I'll host Lupus in Tabula like always, plan to fursuit once a day during con, and plan to be a gopher.

Okay, first Friday night, Inola ( foxloverh) came and brought with him an inflatable skunk to snuggle. It was fun and I shown him my new stuff. Then the next morning went to Saturday's part of the ArtPrize meet (It is 3 days long) with Inola and  mr-teriyaki together. Was able to last 5 hours I think in suit. Parking was tricky but we found another fursuiter when we did. I had a surprise when I took off my suit halfway at the Pizza place. I must have been really zealous about suiting because I had forgotten to take off my regular clothes to wear just my under armor under suit! I stripped off the extra, sweat wet clothes and stowed them away making suiting much easier. At one point I did have to call it short because with my fursuit, if my head hurts only with my head on it is time to give it a rest. Also on our way back, Mr-Teriyaki decided to try on Inola's head and wore it for a good part of the trip giving us a bunch of glances and hilarious looks from people.

A few highlights are
(1) Having Inola visit and let me play with his skunk for a while.
(2) borrowing a "Free Hugs" sign from a "Free Hugs" person and holding it up high to show my support.
(3) having certain children just come up and can't get enough of me.
(4) Mr-Teriyaki wearing Inola's head and all the things that occurred with it.

Wow, it has been over a year since I last posted a journal. So might as well tell all that I am still here and alive despite not showing my usual monthly submissions.

Last Easter weekend was a nice break from classes, amazingly I had an Easter Birthday which happens every leap year it is assumed to be.

One thing that I loved is that I was able to spend time with my family and hopefully my dad will be better in touch with me. I returned home and visited next door to find I have an entire pumpkin pie all for myself! I was elated! And I hear a good friend will be sending me a game I want soon because they want to get me something for my birthday!

Also I have been running around quite a bit just getting college stuff done since in two weeks examination week will come. I will be not on-line my usual things like I usually am until things are caught up and most likely not post anything till then.

And just to let others know although it is already noticed, I am not attending FCN 2012 on the account of needing more money to actually attend two cons and instead raising money to attend MFF 2012. I hope to have a lot of fun at that time.

Until then, all take care.

Complete journal is on LJ.
Got in bed early Thursday night to get a head start, but was bothered by a buddy. Told them why I was in bed early and they left.
On Friday I got to the con 90 minutes early since I miscalculated the driving time. I went to various panels, and met  spacewolfe and his mate  stripekazama, and fursuit cuddled Spacewolf. I got my new badge from  neonslushie. At night time,  Diezelraccoon wished to cuddle and came over to my room. After snuggling it was then I went to Errorwolf's room party to hang out. Late after I went to the dance a bit, at the room I found  Hypr was upset, but it was just a misunderstanding and talked over. That day was my birthday.
On Saturday in the fursuit parade I brought my inflatable orca with me. Afterwards brought Spacewolf to my room to try out something new and he loved it. Lupus in Tabula was great. During the 2nd round I was constantly thought to be a Werewolf so I invoked my power as the witch and told out the sucker who had it in for me.
On Sunday I played in the game room, and I also commissioned  dmk for a new badge. With some friends I later had some cake for my birthday.  Asino got me a convention T-shirt. Later on played half suit the fursuit games. Too bad I didn't win, but I tried hard. After that I packed up and left for home. Great con, and will post pictures soon.

This year's MFF was a wonderful con.

Friday, meet Frisky and his mate, wore my inflatable turtle shell, saw my friends again. I went to a Puffypaws room party that night - nearly swooned over the inflatables there! Had a lot of fun in and out of suit, even got to see how another person looked wearing my inflatable turtle shell. Spent about half the money I took there.

Saturday was a bombshell. I had a hyena/turtle in my room. I helped Frisky Lime carry his toy in the parade. Ran around the place. Watched some of the Furry Variety show. Played Lupus in Tabula, was able to eliminate Picklejuice in the 1st round by a special moon night. Second game I actually was the Werehamster and we played on for 2 hours beyond the playing time.

Sunday was a bit hectic. Played in the Fursuit games after running 10 minutes to the room from and back to the games. My favorite game for them was actually soccer and I played as a defender like usual but like I would. We had a wonderful goalie. It was more tricky since we had to hit a beachball but still fun.

Okay this Halloween actually rocked. I was at a friend's house fursuiting as Tigertoy and had a great time hugging kids and making them feel fine getting candy from us. About half of all the groups wanted pictures of their kids with me and I just loved it all. I was not able to stay out suiting for more than two hours though due to the fact that I didn't have my batteries charged up and couldn't power my fan to give me four hours.

Michigan Adventure was just wonderful time all together. Cinder, Kira, and Bunnyhugger came. Quite a small group but nice anyways. We rode Shivering Timbers, the Wolverine Wildcat (my personal favorite), the Carousel, the Sea King, water slides, and it was just loads of fun. I rode the Mad Mouse for the 1st time, it was fun, and humorous since others accidentally called it "Mary Mouse" quite a bit. We had our lunch out in the parking lot at Cinder’s car, and later on a snack. We even met up with a young furry that went to the meet with their mom. He joined Cinder and the gang on the Grand Rapids ride; While waiting for them I meet up with a FSU staff I knew. I drenched Cinder and the gang with the geysers twice. Cinder said, "Good shoot" due to I had studied and practiced with them beforehand. We actually introduced ourselves to the fur's mother at the end of the meet, and he decided to tell the whole truth. He told about being a furry and we all put in our part. I showed her my Mary Mouse badge (I was not wearing it). In the end, he said he didn’t want her to be angry with him and she said, “I am more angry that you kept this from me and didn’t tell me.” And at that time she really didn’t seem angry at all. I bought myself 3 cups and a big shot glass as souvenirs. Also got a massive giant water bottle as a souvenir, it’s as big as my Six Flags bottle but purple and has a unique shape to it. We didn’t get on all the rides we wanted too, but I love it all. If I had a choice to do it again, I would in a heartbeat.

Anthrocon was a blast, my report on it is on LJ.

I got back from FCN on Monday and have been working on homework. It's been great at FCN, was sad to leave.

The highlights of the con would have to be: My new badge and artwork, fursuit pile, showing off my inflatable turtle torso at Thursday night's dance, putting someone in the inflatable orca suit, and getting photos with friends.

I got a good amount of things and spent less than I figured. I have photos too. I've washed my fursuit and I have to reinforce the tail now (. Pulled some threads out from leaving the fursuit pile). On another note I thank my handler for being so helpful with and beyond fursuiting.

Whoa it has been long since I wrote a journal. To recap on what's been happening to me. I've been so busy with classes, or hanging out with friends. And my usual posts have been neglected because of that. This year however I think will be better. Astoundingly, FCN starts up right after my birthday April 8th! I'm so happy since this year it is like my own birthday present to myself! If any fur wishes to give me a present, feel free.

Well Asino and Hypr needed a roomie for MFF and thought immediately of me. After talking a while, I went to MFF too and it was very good that I did.

1) Oz kangaroo was there, and along with Mozee, Blue, Captain Furry, Drew Raccoon, Nightclaw, Alkora, and two others I joined the puffy furry photo shoot with my inflatable turtle torso.

2) I meet a lot of new furries I didn't imagine I'll see. Some old ones I was happy to see again like those in the LAFF gang that I've not seen in a long time. Uncle Kage remembered me: and it was in a good way! :)

3) I got some real nice items for my fursuit and myself at the convention. As Tigertoy I was in fursuit charades, fursuit parade, was able to get around quick, hugged quite a bit, advised by others and learned more.

It was all wonderful, I'm glad my friends thought of me and that I went.

ConClave is a Sci Fi/Fantasy con that I planned on attending with a friend because he loves dragons. My friend did not appear to attend ConClave 34, so instead of paying for a Hotel room I stayed at a furiend's place. I still had a wonderful time at the con.
The skit was with a woman who went by Liz and we had a skit where I was to creep up on her as the Big Bad Wolf, she would shoot her nerf gun at me. I'd play a fake death, then get up chase Dark Little Red Riding hood off stage, and come back holding her skull. She could not fire the gun, and so we had to improvise. It was fun, and we did win a small prize.
As Tigertoy I meet Uncle Kage, and learned first hand how hot a fursuit can get. The 1st time I tried, I seemed a little uneasy so the Dorsai Irregulars had me take a rest. Each time it was quite hot since the pool sent up water vapor upstairs. I meet up with Tyren, and Sparkybluefox.

I got back from FCN and remarkably even though I didn't take photos during the dance I have over 100 photos! I didn't realize I took that many even with photographic still motion of Aiden moving! It was a wonderful con truly amazing, I was nearly crushed to leave. I was able to hang with Blaze, Frost, Magnus, the list is endless. I've done things amazing too like when I was in charades, parade, and more. Now I'm known as the werewolf that was around FCN, the name is Dusk. I still remember when we furpiled Uncle Kage, and picked him up chair and all as being part of the blue team. It was wonderful and I'd do it again new year in a second! Be sure to look for my photos, but I won't try and use all 126!

Last Saturday night I went to a Hentai meeting at a house with my wolf ears and tail. I didn't have to back it up with my claim too much, thankfully. One girl asked if I was a suiter, so I did tell her I was a furry, but only her. I also for once won 3 matches on Smash Bros Brawl.

I'm going to FCN again this year. I'm so happy and excited! Room plans are made, roomies chose well, got my finances checked out, Professors at Ferris are notified that I'll be taking a day off for "personal matters," and homework is fine. Clothing is getting ready. Before long I'll be on my way on Friday morning. I can't wait!

New Years was a blast. I had a lot of fun just hanging out in Illinois than just staying at home to watch the ball drop. I hung out at the hotel, fursuited at an arcade, and was able to get roomates before the deadline that actually gave me enough for the cost of the room. I'm so happy with how it turned out. Also was able to get my very first con badge for Dusk, so now everyone will know his name when I become him.

I stole this from  Thecaptainfoxx's November journal

I am thankful for learning about the fandom and joining. Ever since I had a love for animals I looked up stuff and stumbled across  terminotaur's art page, I continued watching. After a while I when to VCL, and eventually stumbled here where I made my furry form.

A special shoutout to my friends, Blazger, Seek, Cy-B, Zureth, and Slade. You're all special to me and helped me a lot.

My werewolf experience was a hit. I surprised the Theater Professor, the Health Center got a good kick out of it, Burger King noticed me after I ordered, surprised 3 students, made another laugh, 5 students were in awe, and one even took my picture! I gave him my College mailbox so that he can send me it. I bought a balaclava hood earlier for it was helpful. I regret not having a water bottle since it did make me thirsty.
My tail and ears experience was somewhat different than I had expected. Not many commented on them even though it was Halloween. My Biology Professor commented to watch out for scientists wanting to catch their escaped project. Everyone however was quite surprised when they saw my tail. They did catch the idea, tail and ears.
My Halloween was the best ever! I went to a furmeet in Ann Arbor and wore my Halloween costume after the 1st round of bowling was over. I played by the fursuit rules considering it seemed close to a fursuit, and surprisingly it was deemed to be a fursuit! I naturally stated it was just a Halloween costume, but the consensus of furs and fursuiters agreed that my Halloween costume was like a real fursuit! I’m happy for it to be considered as one since I never had the fun that fursuiters had. I had to bowl two handed, got lots of hugs, was able to be myself more, and went on a little fursuit parade. I'll however make some adjustments before I can really deem my costume "Dusk" a fursuit.

I went to Illinois to see  Blazger and all his buddies down there and had a blast!
Friday: A bunch of Blazger's buddies came to his house, we had fun, hung out, and it was nice meeting more Midwest furs.
Saturday: We went to Red Robins and then to the Gameworks Meet, my first one. I was playing lots of Arcade and it was great just having fun. At one point everyone went outside the Gameworks to watch the fursuiters; no one told me, however no one was near to tell me either. I was thankful to find them.
Sunday: I had planned on heading home that morning untill I heard that we were able to get into Six Flags during FrightFest, so I went too. I had a blast, will never forget it, and I'd do this weekend again in a heartbeat!

FCN was a blast. Was able to meet  blazger and his mate  frostcat. I had a good time with them and they gave me a bell. I loved seeing new and old friends from MiFurs and those that went to it including some unexpected friends. I'm glad I went, got a few things to remember it including photos that I'll post soon.

It's my birthday. This day I am now 22. One thing is FCN is my present to me. I'm being taken out for dinner after classes end. When I think back at how I was and how I am now - I have grown more in wisdom.
Already had registration and room sharing has been completed to go to FCN. I'm going to be wearing my sweet new outfit; black outfit with white tiger heads on the shirt and sleeve ends. I'll be bringing my camera, meeting furs, and going to have a good time.

A news report was done on the Furry Fandom! Woot! It is so exciting! Subtitles are included in this report. And the best part is that it was positive!

Well the new term started - It's hard to believe I'm a sophomore. And I should fill you in on what has happened in between.
1 - When I went to my Dad's for Christmas Day, I filled the family in on the furry side of my life that I have not told them about till now. My dad has no comment, my stepmother wonders if I'm gay, and the rest I don't know. It was nice to tell this about myself at long last. And I heard that my Stepmother is finally accepting me as a stepson.
2 - I got a sweet new outfit that is soft and fuzzy and with white tiger images on it. I wore it to this month's furmeet and all the responses I got were positive which is great. It is not a fursuit but it is a swell outfit to wear to cons and such.
3 - I was able to give my friend a big time chance. Since FCN is in the process of being made I told my buddy who owned a band to maybe try to be on the schedule. If it happens it'll give his band a good boost.
