Had a long journal planned..
14 years ago
.. But it was too much "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH", so I'm keeping it short.
My thing is, I love Furry, but I don't care too much for the fandom. The fleeting nature of friendships has what's REALLY gotten to me over the years, most furries I've dealt with seem to get bored and move on to other people. There's also the tendency for a lot of furries to be socially retarded, and make first meetings completely uncomfortable.
And just to be clear, yes, I've met many furries online who are decent people and I would likely get along with them very well, but they live too far away, and I can't get "emotional" about just chatting with them through text. Cons are one way to meet people, but they cost too much for me. Though, I might make it to Furnel Equinox this year for a day or something.
Anyway, my issues, I'll deal with them. I'm just happy too see the younger furries getting along better with each other.

I have a large friends list, but i admittedly have not talked to as many people as i used too, and have been dropped by some, and i have dropped a couple, but every now and then i find a name i have not talked too and restart a friendship. and a great friend i can keep for years.
I used to hate how we dropped out friends so much, but i guess im more understanding of it now. I hope that you make some more friends in real life btw, but so far i have only met a few and they were too young and still in need of some growing up. I would rather have good friends right now that accept me as a furr, then friends that i am only friends with because i am furry atm.
sorry for the long response, just felt all philosophical when seeing your journal.
If you do come by FE- please do pop by the Dealer's Den and say hi <3
But I digress. I've been to furcons and met many other furs since then and I don't hate it so much now. ^^ Huzzah! Vive la Furry. :-P
It's like a Star Trek con all over again.
Yeah. You'll always have a heart-felt place wedged between my prostate gland and testicles. Your art touches me there most noticeably.
A fan since 1997.

Just remember that this is a blanket group, and that you have your own reasons for being here. You don't have to feel like you should be a big part of the furry 'scene' or anything.
Would be good to see you in the flesh as well tween running around and doing stuff so if you do make it to the con just ask for me and ill see if we cant hook up for a little bit and say hi
Gaia bless and 4 days to go..wheeee
