Feral! Feedback and life update (long)
15 years ago
Okay well I haven’t posted a journal in a while so this is gonna be a big one.
Feral! The 13th was amazing, I loved it. I’ve never gone to feral before and attending this outdoorsy con was incredible and brought back so many childhood memories of the traditional summer camp. To be able to walk out of my cabin and be ankle deep in water in less than 20 feet was refreshing. I used to go to a cottage ever summer with my ex but now that he’s out of the picture I didn’t have the chance to. Feral was perfect for me. Getting back to nature was good, I needed it. For those of you who have never been to Feral let me sum it up for you.
Basically furries take over a kids summer camp. So all the events you’d normally do at a camp, like kayaking, canoeing, swimming, rock wall climbing, ropes courses, even archery was available to all of us on a daily basis along with some furry related workshops like leather, drawing, poetry, and many others.
My evenings were filled with dancing at the lodge at tee-pee heights with some excellent DJ’s or simply sitting by a campfire and watching the flames lick and crackle at the wood. It truly was unlike any con I’ve ever attended before in such a pleasant manner. Not having to worry about what or when I eat next was so incredibly nice. Hearing a bell and knowing that food is out and ready for us to munch on was awesome. And the food was amazing too, a 4 star chef catered to us all week long, I truly was spoiled.
I will be attending this con annually, for many years to come and I encourage anyone who may be remotely interested to visit their website www.campferal.org and contact the committee.
In more recent news I have decided to end my relationship with
tiger_sammy. We were together for a long while and tried more than a few times to make things work and in the end it just was not meant to be. It is not fair to keep someone strung along when all of your heart just isn’t into it. I will not go into details on this, I have already gotten a lot of flak from many people on this subject and thus would like to prevent more drama. All I can say is I’m sorry. I hope you will find someone who can treat you the way you deserve and never hurt you again.
After having said that, I am currently spending time with
Bailey_Bat after a long fight and much bitterness exchanged between us I decided to step up and attempt a formal apology for my behavior. Since my decision to let Stripes go he has been there as a friend to listen and lend a paw if needed. Many of you may be thinking this is a rather quick exchange of mates but I assure you it is not. Bailey and I have been friends for over a year, and through the thick and thin of me leaving my first partner of 9 years he was there for me as a friend. Once again after making another tough decision I have found him more than willing to listen and help me though.
At this time we are both currently mate-less and thus have been spending more time with one another purely as friends. We are both hesitant to start a relationship so soon, so we are simply testing the waters to see where this may take us.
So that is my life up to now. Thank you for reading.

Glad you enjoyed Feral! - I would have loved to have gone there but just couldn't afford it presently..
Also - don't let people judge you on your life decisions - its your life, its your choice.. may you find true happiness, Kitty!
Sad to hear about you and Sammy, you seemed so happy together, but I'm still confused because at Condition I talked to both you and baily and you didn't seem to be very fond of each other. :/ Even so I'm glad you found someone you're happy with and I wish you all the best :)
I will have to grab you on msn at some point and quiz you on how it all works to perhaps maybe get over my shyness and bloody well book to go next year :P
Sorry to hear about you and Sammy. I like you both a lot but you know you just go to do what feels right and what makes you happy. Everything works out in the end and we are all still young :3 *big hugs to the both of you cause you are both awesome*
Best of luck as always :3
(...I should not have said that, that is bringing some very bad-touchy thoughts to my nasty, little mind... sorry.)
I never went to summer camp as a kid. My folks had a summer cottage just south of Barrie though and a membership in a private beach. But that was mainly all the comforts of home if home was a couple of decades before I was born. I don't think it was really like camp. I don't even know if Feral! would be fun. I've never spent that long with nobody but other Furries, though and that would be quite an experience! BTW, you forgot to mention what a good deal Feral! is; membership costs a lot, but it includes all your meals and accommodations! Add what it would cost at a hotel and Feral! is maybe half that!
About Sammy, look, I don't even know what you're supposed to have done to him and I'm not gonna ask. Sammy says he's forgiven you, (he's being outstandingly mature in that), and that's good enough for me. But just a suggestion; if it was really that bad, maybe you should re-think your life and either keep the promises you make or don't make promises you can't keep. If you're true to yourself, there's nobody here who can hold it against you, no matter who or what you are. Does that help, hon? *ker-HUGZ* Go forth and sin no more.
and no matter how much you tempt me..I still don't like boobs :P
~hugs~ I'll be seeing you next year. (or possibly earlier lol)
PS. You should come to one of the Lindsay or Peterborough meets we have!!! SRSLY!
