Spring time is rolling around, the time of renewal perhapes?
15 years ago
This year has been rather long for me, yet it seems time flew past in the blink of an eye... the temperature is quickly warming up and Spring time is set right in, with Summer just around the corner in another month's time (as I live in New Zealand, we get inverted seasons compared to those in the Northern Hemisphere, in case some of you might be puzzled with "Spring? Summer? really?").
For those that have been following my journals entries, well, things haven't really changed much in terms of how I have been feeling, in fact over the past few weeks, I get to see a lot more of people's "true self" through the various... social interactions (or some prefer to call it "drama") of the local community here. I am slowly dealing with those that need to be dealt with and that does get to me on a few levels, and perhaps effect the way I have been treating others... anyhow... I will save that rant for another day.
So, a friend recently visited from out of town for a while, and I took, well, more "seized" that chance to just do nothing else but hang out and have some complete, un-adulterated "me" time for about a week. During which we did reflect upon many things (that friend also went through a very rough patch similar to mine recently as well), and made me rethink a lot of things. Perhaps it is time for complete renewal, rebirth, throwing away the old and forging a new path. There are still many, many things that I would like to accomplish and do, and perhapes the proverbial "old package" is still somewhat there as a drag, that I should really just give up on a few matters (things and people) moving forward.
I have made a few new submissions today, which I suppose are snapshots of things I love doing and the (very rare) good times that I had so far this year in 2010.
One of which is having "High Tea" up on the Sky Tower - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4805950/
The view was simply amazing, nothing like sitting high up (190m / ~623 feet) above a city and having afternoon tea with good company. In fact, I have grown quite fond of the restaurant there (Orbit) and I am sure I'll revisit there again.
While my friend's up visiting, seeing as he rode quite the sexy little sports-bike, I thought that might be the chance for me to do some interesting late-night photography in some of the... "gears" that I have...

A mix of... I suppose fetish, bondage, fantasy, Sci-Fi... well, afterall I am dressed in a rediculously skin-tight full body Latex rubber catsuit with a black motorcycle helmet and black leather bondage/punk boots.
Perhapes I was slightly inspired by all the Sci-Fi/Fantasy anime/comic/movies too with the poses (Trinity in "The Matrix" with her black catsuit and Ducati bike is a good example)... well, I hope I managed to somehow pull those poses off without revealing how fat and out-of-shape I am! XD
There are still photos from the Halloween party I've attended to sort, touch-up and upload. Hopefully those will be done sooner rather than later.
Right now, I am in the middle of needing to get my Tiggy-butt into gear and organize/sort out the various aspects of FurcoNZ this year (http://www.furconz.org.nz). And I just hope this year will be better and less chaotic than last year... (and for those that haven't really been following my journals, FurcoNZ is this annual New Zealand furry "con"/gathering/meet that I have been "head of"/lead organizer since last year), that and hopefully I can rely upon/delegate more tasks out to the official staff for this year.
Well, I will be taking the weekend off before FurcoNZ 2010 this year and have some "me" time again and I am actually quietly exicted and looking forward to what I have planned. That should also help keep the sanity level in check... hopefully!
Until next time...

Then again, I don't know about most of the furry drama going on, so I am talking on a very general, naive level. And yes, its always good to rise out of the ashes and continue on the journey. There is always something new behind the bend.
Can't wait for FurcoNZ! This is going to be my very first Furcon (i have only been involved in the community this year). I bet it will be great.
