I'm not inclined to resign to maturity- My post MFF babble
15 years ago
General
Tl;dr warning.
-I missed so many people, but I was rather nondescript, minus the blue/purple bangs.
-Looks like I'm going to have to wait till tomorrow or the next day to scan the stuff I got at the con, when we shoved more ram in our computer, got a new video card and reinstalled windows, we apparently didn't reinstall our either of our scanners or the drivers for them. Needless to say, I got something from
maxblackrabbit and
kamicheetah, so keep an eye out.
-A lot of furries are pushers. Sex pushers. Seriously, I think all passes got the exact opposite reaction they wanted. I'm friendly and bubbly, but in no means does that mean I'm flirting with you or I want to show you my tits. I got into some blatantly obvious and awkward situations. Also, the last day everyone thought I was with
tsumezyzco. You know, just because I'm walking around with a dude does not in fact mean that there is anything beyond platonic activity involved. I am dissappoint.
-Speaking of blatantly awkward situations! I somehow ended up in the manorgy room! It smelled like weight room and lube and sadness. I blame being drunk, and following other people around.
-I had my first shots of anything ever since that everclear someone dared me to drink when I was 18 (jello doesn't count). They aren't that hard to handle.
-When we arrived at the hotel, we immediately started drinking skittles vodka and 3 drinks later I decided to go to the artist alley. I -gushed- in a hyper drunk way at
ebonyleopard,
gnaw and
maxblackrabbit. Kindof embarrassed in retrospect, but I didn't get any better the rest of the con since I was on the verge of PANIC! at all moments and the booze was the only thing keeping my heart from exploding out of my chest like a alien spawn.
- I drunkenly drew a reference for
kamicheetah.
-If I'm on an elevator with you, visibly gagging up the NOTHING I've eaten all day, you need a shower. I don't understand how when there's a shower in every room, they didn't get used. Did you guys have rabies? Don't give me the crashed on the floor, wasn't supposed to be here excuse. If there's even the slightest chance that I'm going to be staying somewhere, I always pack at least extra underwear and a shirt. People are more than kind enough to share toiletries, not to mention the HOTEL will give you some as well.
-Someone fed me a questionable cookie and although it was delicious, it made me retarded sick.
-Oooold furries like cars and trains.
-I did a badge for someone and it was the MOST PRESSURE ever. It was her first badge ever and I was hyperventilating that she wouldn't like it and....well I'm glad its over.
-I met A LOT of awesome people, and honestly, I'd like to keep talking to them, but if I'm being annoying on here, just sortof give me a pat on the head and show me something shiny. I'll leave you alone for awhile.
-The bulldog puppies were adorable, but my friend's kitten was cuter. Tiny animals make me want them... or babies. D:
-
donryu gave me a quicky adorable sketch. I'm not sure if I should pay him or give him art back or what, but I freaked out and ran away instead. I'm smooth.
-Considering I made quite a chunk of money without a proper display for the 2 and a half hours I was in the Artist Alley, I think I should probably plan ahead more next time around..maybe make some prints or some awesome and stuff. I dunno. Lol.
-I loved loved loved talking to
ebonyleopard but I didn't want to loom and impose and be a creeper, so I restrained myself from it. XD
There's probably more stuff, but it's morning and my kids are all 'blah blah blah blah blah' and it was all raining for some crazy reason.. so.. fuck it.
Oh, and the one thing I hated about MFF... I didn't have Mumford and Sons to inject straight into my veins. That man makes me swoon and love and...nuuuuuuuuuuuurgh. I was on withdrawl.

FA+

No! NO!
-Though honestly, that's the biggest deterrent to my curiosity on attending furry conventions. I want to go yet I'm squicked by the horror stories from females in the fandom, from being stalked and harassed to the unwanted come-ons. It seems they all need or have to resort to a Safety Male at some point, because even traveling as a group of gals is vulnerable.
-Wanna see high-pressure badge. :c
I guess the rest of the time I don't leave the house without the ball and chain, so, it keeps the manattacks to a minimum! He was in New York doing his thing though. Far away.
Room booze was better.
I can't believe the escalator died. T_T
And yes, the parking is a pain in the butt.
YES. MACE. MACE THAT GOES THROUGH FURSUITS.
Lol...you could make an axe that looked like a pepper spray can....then you could accomplish BOTH.
Seriously though, I'm horrified that one guy was all 'Oh, it doesn't matter at cons' I almost slugged him in the jaw. Perhaps next time you should wear a sign or badge that says 'My man meat might not be here but that doesn't mean I want anything to do with your's"
Then again, I'm happy to play the part of bouncer any time since I find my punch first, ask questions later policy works out nicely. -___-
At artist alley, the girl I was doing the trade with, she got up to have a smoke and her boytoy or whatever was instantly macking on me and ignoring my 'Leave me alone' signs and warnings. Then he started fucking TOUCHING my hair and my shoulder and neck and started poking my side so I told him I'd start breaking things and he finally got the hint and left me alone. UGH. I hate having to come off like a cold bitch but I think it's the only way ANYTHING registers with many furries.
BUT YEAH...
Drunken gushing at Max and Ebony was hilarious, I felt like we were rabid fangirls meet creepers but it was fun regardless!
SKITTLE VODKA WAS AMAZZZIINNNGGG... but then you regret it tasting so good cause it goes quick with HNNG after.
But in retrospect like an above person said, at my job I get unwanted attention as well. I work retail, and in electronics. For some reason that throws some men a giant wrench and they either use it to really talk down to me, or flirt at me insanely. I hate both of it. I work there. Have worked there for over three years. I know what I'm talking about so I don't need to be talked to like I am new. I get the picture that a lot of men who think a smile, and nice customer service can be those same types sometimes at a con :( It just makes me feel so icky :> Especially since I have been asked out to dinner/movies on several occasions at work....
So bleh I'm sorry for that, and the...man sex room..and stinky people (but that's something I kinda thought were a staple for most of the con goers, for some reason its hard to find a bar of soap and deodorant right?? :| )
u__U~
The good experiences far outweigh the bad. I'd go again, but bring mace and axe to spray at people and if I get the wrong one, I'm sorry.
