4. (X) Have you ever worn an animal costume or tail as a child and pretended to be an animal? {Depends on how you define "child". I'm going to go with the legal definition, and say that capering about in a Leo the Lion costume for a Memorial Day parade in high school counts, especially since I think I was the only volunteer in the Leo Club.}
5. ( ) Have you ever eaten out of a dog bowl? (as a kid) {I vaguely recall that I might've done so once at a furry friend's house when we were out of cereal bowls... but in any case that was when I was older than 18.}

7. (X) Do you like to look at furry porn all the time? {And clean furry art, too!}
8. (X) Do you RP or play second life as a furry character? {Not as much as I used to, and I'm not on Second Life any more, though my avatar's still probably gathering dust there; I don't think they remove people.}

15. (X) Would you transform into your character/fursona if you were given the chance to live like that for the rest of your life? {Given that in character I can transform myself and put the illusion of a human over myself, I'd be able to continue my human life in any event, so this is kind of a no-brainer.}

BTW, I looked at Tavi's and got a 15 for myself. although I have to question some of these questions. There's a lot of them I've never thought of as being central to being a furry.
I suppose if I put my toys in my mouth like any baby would, it would then make sense that later on I'd pick a furry species for myself that happens to put mice in its mouth a lot. >:3
That is INCREDIBLY CUTE!!! <envy>
My second birthday cake had blue icing that made me barf.
>I had a large mouse plushie I called "Applesauce" because I misread the tag, which was the company "Applause", and years later I read the tag again and kicked myself for misreading it all that time.
Hee hee. I've seen Applesauce, remember? I've even searched eBay for a plush like him.
>I suppose if I put my toys in my mouth like any baby would, it would then make sense that later on I'd pick a furry species for myself that happens to put mice in its mouth a lot. >:3
I definitely feel the same! I also liked mousies a lot (Gadget especially, natch) though I'm not sure at what point I realized I wanted to gobble them up and give them a cozy tummyhug. :)
>I also remember cuddling up to my brother's huge (for our size at the time) brown bear plushie named "Drod".
Is that a synonym for density? ;)
>Also I kept wishing I could find and befriend Fieval; I once found a giant Fieval plush in some waiting room, probably a doctor's office or something, so big kids like me could sit in his lap. I wanted to take it home with me.
SQUEE! If I'd seen that, I'm sure I'd have remembered it my whole life too.
There was a pretty darn big Fieval plush Sears made when the movie came out, and they made so many that they're quite plentiful on eBay. (This fellow here.)
