I was going through some stuff this afternoon to determine what to throw away and what to keep when I stumbled across something remarkable. One of my sophomore English teachers had assigned me a project that required me to tell about who I was and what I wanted for the future. One of the most remarkable things was back then I wrote about "dreaming about talking animals". Interestingly I had always daydreamed about "talking animals" but until the early 90s didn't know that there was a fandom devoted to them (the "furries" of course). Again I'd dreamed about "talking animals" all my life but as far as I know this was the first time I'd ever expressed my daydream. With this in mind, I do wish that I knew about the "furry fandom" back in the day as it would have made things a hell of a lot more bearable back then. *sigh*
