2009 a year in review - long version
15 years ago
I'm putting this here to let ya'll know what my year has been like. Its my god damn journal and my friends who don't have LJ deserve a right to know how I have been. So fuck all you haters out there.
Well I guess I've given myself plenty of time to think and reflect whats happened last year. But for now I'm gonna let all who can't figure out why I have been in such a bad mood through this whole year. Well here's what I had to go through.
January - Well we started the year off badly with the loss of Frost's car the Caviler. Was a good car but hated from 2008 getting pulled over for his fucking step-dad's bullshit. Wasn't a big loss cause it was nothing but trouble. We moved into our new pad and Cooper moved in with us and it was going pretty good. Went to FC and enjoyed ourselves. Was Cooper's first time being at this con too. I think he had a great time. Also this was mine and Magnus's 1 year anniversary of when I asked him to be mates with me and frost. This picture I had taken of us is something I hold very dear to me http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1069320/ FC 2008.
February - Was my kitty's birthday. He turned 27 and he's still as handsome as the day I've first met him back in 2005. Had a nice valentines present for him but I eated it. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1992805/ Was an ok month though. I did however ruin a few suprises for Cooper and I still hate myself for doing that. I also know that I lost his love that month. If ya wanna know Cooper used to be my pet. When he met Hunter he still wanted to be my pet and well things went bad and I had to end it between us as master and pet. It was probably for the better since he'd now have a boyfriend who can take care of him. Was a hard 4 months to wait for Hunter to move in with us though.
March - Nothing much this month happened sides still me looking for a job.
April - Everything was well taken care of rent wise and we had just gotten our tax returns and used the money to go to FCN as a way to break away from everyday crap again. This was Falcon Fox's first time goin to a different con outside the midwest too and I think he had a blast. The theme was Prohibition but in lame terms means no booze in the days of the mobsters. So I had gotten myself a Gangster outfit and it was one hell of a great time. Granted being a bit low on funds can suck we still enjoyed ourselves. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2232062/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2231856/ I had a good laugh cause I also brought with my jumbo MP3 player Ipod and played music in the hallway that others seemed to enjoy and dance to. The dance fog was a bit much and not something furs needed. Also the fursuit room in the same area as the dance was a very poor planning area for it. Especially when there was only 2 fans and the place was cramped with furs in a small space.
May - Well this was the day that Hunter was to move in.....least I think it was. He helped us alot back at the old place and this was his new home.
June - I finally found me a job thanks to my frosty kitty. I got to work with him during the same hours. It worked out purrrfectly for us. We also had Billie da Huskie come live with us for a while. We rescued him from his little prison down in Peoria all thanks to his Ex. Wasn't the best life for him but after we helped him out he was so much happier.
July - We saved up money and got rent out the way and then made it out to AC once again. Some parts of it rather sucked. The dance music blew ass. Honestly its the same fricken beat for 10 minutes maybe up to 30 minutes. Frost knows cause he was in there longer than I was and he couldn't stand it any more. I was just so bored the entire con also and upset cause many of the things I wanted to attend was at the same time as the other. The fem photoshoot, Who's lion is it anyway, the dance, fursuit games. I mean granted I only went to one thing that mattered more to me than the others and that was the photoshoot. One reason I went to it was cause of one vixen that was there that I had missed in the longest time. Summer Vixen. I had not seen her in a long time and the way I held her and looked into her eyes made me feel more happier to know she still luv's this tiggy.
Such a sweethearted vixen she was given me little vixy kisses. BTW I was talking to her fursuit but it's still her none the less. The rest of the con seemed to drag on and I just couldn't go home without doing one thing and that was giving out my gift once again to those who we're starving. and for the 2nd year in a row at AC I brought Pop-tarts. Yup yup I helped many out by giving away FREE pop-tarts. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2562497/ Now in this picture is only about half of what I brought. Lets just say if I had better wheels on my fursuit box thats how much I really had. And if ya'll know what my box looks like then you know how much can be filled in that sucker ;) I'm hoping to bring MORE this year so ya'll better be hungry when I'm rollin around with a suitcase or duffelbag. My birthday was also this month and I turned 27. I didn't go to six flags that time but I did go the very next month. We did also get a new car for a damn good price. We had gotten a 93 ford Taurus station wagon. Was like 500 bucks and we fixed it up and got it home and worked awesomely for us to get to work.
August - As I said I went to six flags and the first ride we all went on was the Raging Bull. The line was so damn short we just had to run in the line to get to it. I have to admit after being a little worried of this coaster for years, I braved it and had a wicked time. Only thing that made me LOL the most was when we got to the top of the first hill and was about to head down, Billie was with us and shouted out the Demoman's most awesome line, "LEEEET'S DO IIIIIT!!!" When we got off the ride we ran over to check our pictures and we laughed so hard cause then we saw the last car's pics and 2 guys we're kissing when they went past the camera. Was good times but sadly I learned that Billie had to head back to Peoria cause he was given a job offer from his dad and it was something he didn't want to pass up. I knew he couldn't stay around forever at our place and I'm happy Falcon helped out once again to get him back home but away from his EX and start a new life with a great paying job and also he has 2 awesome dogs down there to take care of. one being a actual husky. I know he's doing well.
September - We began this month by going to the final day of the wisconsin Bristol Ren Fair with our own little furry group. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2756298/ Was good times me thinks.The rest of the month went ok I think cept me and frost got scammed by a customer asking for money to help his wife out. Now it was my first time doing this but I guess my generous side got the better of me and I gave him money from the drawer and he gave us his laptop bag filled with stuff......but no laptop. I gave them the laptop bag and we wondered if we should of paid them after we got our checks. We asked them and they said everything is alright just don't do it again.
October - This month I was visited by my pet Kaworu. It was so wonderful seeing him again after AC and what was cool he was to stay with us for a while before he moved in with Rukario in New York. Things didn't go so well and he stayed with us for a number of month after that. Everything else went fine till the middle of the month when the asshole's we work with got back to us about the money we got scammed over. They cut our hours and also made a new schedule where me and frost couldn't work together any more. 2 god damn paychecks went past and even though they said everything was ok they never wanted the money back and they do this to us. I tell them that I can't drive and frost was the only one able to give me a ride. Their response, "Not my problem." Also making us work only 2 days each and hireing family members who don't know how to do anything there was just as smart on their behalf.
November - Well this month got a little worse cause I was now having to drive to work by myself for 3rd shift. I was risking alot and although I warned them about it, their response "Not my Problem." I could of gotten them in major trouble with how the place looked every night I went in to work. Cause the hot water wasn't working at all for 3 weeks, the place was an absolute mess, the help was slow as hell (seriously a whole minute to figure out how to scan a newspaper?) We put up with them for the time needed and saved up as much as we could for MFF. But with the hours getting cut and such we didn't have much to go on. But we went to the con anyway and still had a damn good time, just to get away from everyday bullshit. Being with friends is something we enjoy the most cause our friends are there for us. Was a bit of drama here and there but hey its furry, its prone to happen alot. Sadly a few weeks after MFF which would be right before the beginning of december, The station wagon finally died on us. We we're noticing a slight jumping every time we put it into gear and we we're worried about it. So I took it to get a transmission flush and well that finally was it and the car just could not work any more. We found out well cause when we bought it back in the summer, the lady who had it burned it into the ground with the low fluids and also poor way she took care of it. It served it purpose though and I at least am glad it got us through alot and lasted so long.
December - This month I didn't think would give us problems. Granted Falcon loaned us his truck to get from here to there, but in the middle of the month and it being only a week before Xmas, I was fired from the gas station. Turns out cause apparently they thought I was sleeping on the job. Now granted 3rd shift can get boring and also tiresome. I was a morning person having to get to work when I woke up, but this was a tad hard to handle every day I worked. So only for like a half hour I asked my co-worker to watch the front cause I was working in the kitchen and I just decided to rest my eyes for a bit. It helped me majorily cause I was able to drive home when I was done. Apparently I might of been ratted out by my co-worker cause I think he was trying to find a way to get back at us back in July when he got fired for being a poor manager. He was like them too.....family.
Frost was the next to be fired cause after what they did to him and with them fucking up everything with his job it was not something we could handle any longer. Xmas sucked for me cause I used what little money I had to get down to see my family and it was boring as hell there. Granted my niece was happy to see me but it was just too much to handle. She wouldn't leave me alone for even 5 minutes. She just had to jump on my lap and straddle the hell out of me for 4 days. Not fucking cool. I was so damn happy I left but not before bringing back some things my dipshit younger sister left behind for me to take. I looked at the room (which used to be my room and clean) and it was a total train wreck in there. Honestly I think my mom should of called child services on her to take away her baby for being in poor living arrangements. But yeah I come home and was also sad that I couldn't have the new years party this year. I looked at the hotel (country inn and suites) where we had been for a number of years and found out they tore down the wall seperating the breakfast room and a meeting room and made it one giant breakfast room. No way could we of had our party there.
So I decided on the small budget we had to just say fuck it and have a calm quiet one at our house........well I can't say it was quiet but for the most part we had fun dancing and drinking and playing Left 4 Dead 2 and other fun games and I even made everyone a delicious Lasagna. I was also visited by Kalkaph and Darius Koopa. Kal I know had a bit of a rough start but things got better after the new year. I was really happy he made it out here and spent time with us and had fun. we also had Kenova visit us again to ring in the new year and was great seeing him in suit again too. It also helped Morin out too cause Morin had a bit of an accident and Popped his shoulder out of place and was almost unconcious in the bathroom on the floor hurting a bit from the pain. We helped him out and got him to lay on my bed and relax himself and Kenova suited for him to let him know his brother wolf is there for him. Morin smiled seeing Kenova in his suit and being the sweetheart woofy he is.
I cut out all the bad parts cause I know ya'll don't like reading about it. Sides ya'll know what we had to go through so I was trying to figure out all the good parts out of it. If ya came to rant and tell me off cause I make poor choices well then thats yer opinion.
January 2010 - Well its the new year and some things are going ok. Kalkaph had to head home but I'm really happy he had a great time with us out here, Kaworu finally was able to head home back to VA and he will be missed lots, I filed for unemployment as did frost, Darius has helped us out soooo damn much I don't know how I'll ever repay him, our tickets to FC are all booked and all we are doing is counting down the days where we can leave this snowy iceland and hit some warm sunny beaches.....or at least hit up the hottubs there. All we have to do now is just hope our checks come in soon so we can keep ourselves fed. Trust me, going 4 days of eating one bowl of Ramen a day is not something thats healthy for ya me thinks. I don't know what to do at this point cept hope everything goes better for us this year. We have our friends nearby and I know if we all think of something then something good will come out of it.
Wish us luck and to a better year.
