Going home this evening and back to reality
13 years ago
As the title says, I have to head back to Maryland this evening. Not something I want to do by any means but it is time. Need the little extra time to unpack and do a crapload of laundry. It's been a quick but fun two weeks off and I really wish it could continue. Even though I haven't been chipper the entire time, I had a really good time. Guess my depression at times just takes over and prevents me from having a good time. I get thinking too far about the future and not thinking of the moment and having fun in the present. Have to stop this I guess. Well, not going to let is last day be a bummer. We are gong to see Red Dawn today and have a nice day out. Will probably head back is evening so there's less traffic and I can feel more comfortable traveling up padded. :P Hope everyone had a good turkey day!
Still... only a few weeks until Christmas.
Did I also read right that you drove back padded? If so, lucky you. I bet that made the seats extra comfy over the course of the journey. Diapers have so many wonderful uses and it is sad they are so frowned upon to be worn for casual times. I know a diaper would've really helped me sleep better in the bed I was sleeping on around my sixth surgery as you could feel the coils coming out. Some fluff there would've definitely taken the edge off. :)
Here's to happier days and a super happy holiday season! *Hugs*
*Giggles* That is a most awesome little treat for yourself to partake in. Do you buy from AB Universe, or one of those confidential sites? Or ddid you sneak into a drug store for your supply? Regardless, I hope you are able to enjoy the crinkles and freedom to fluff. :)
It is nice that you are open to sharing such a special part of yourself and character. I've seen Scooter padded in a few works over the years, but to see how Scooter does have influence on you as a person is cool, too. :)
For me, I'm 95% Yosh in real life. The other 5% is the off-the-wall stuff in which one can only get away with in a land of boundless creativity. :)
What would you say, Scooter? Is our favorite, grey squirrel more like the real you, or is he a character that is kind of an "Anti" you?
Either way, it is always fun to share times with you. *Hugs* Have a Yoshi day!
As for Scooter, I'd say I'm 70% like my character, though he's overall; a hap hap happier version of me. More carefree, more outgoing than me IRL. He likes to regress at times mostly in private and the rest of the time he's just a regular old squirrelly. I'd like to think that he's an extension of myself, a little more carefree and just happy to be who he is. :)
As for characters, me, too! Yosh is technically a version of me with the exception of the glaucoma. I feel happy putting a large part of myself into my character as it allows me to reach out and meet other people in a safe way until, as I am with you, am comfortable opening up the rest of me. Kind of like a fishing line. I throw Yosh out there and see if anyone pops by to say "Hello!" If they do, I try to make friends and get to know the person better. In some cases, I get a great friend, like you, while others I just get someone to play with from time-to-time via sharing arts and occassional times. Either way, it beats being all lonely in a town where I have no real life friends to hang out aside from my mom, son, and over-worked wife. :)
<LoL!> Something funny worth mentioning is how, for me, having a therapist is like having a friend. I see her once a week now and I kind of look forward to having our talk as I just say how I feel and she talks back with reassuring words and understanding. It's a good feeling to be free and comfortable with yourself around others. Again, why I love being in the furry community as, here, I have never felt more accepted.
Oh, as a side question, what sort of padding do you typically get? Do you get store brand stuff? If so, any recommendations? :) Always into hearing new thoughts on how to fluff up when iI can.
<LoL!> I once got my hands on some protective underwear. They weren't very cushy, but got more fluffy and fun as you'd put a bunch on. I once doubled-up on Bambinos when I had them and really enjoyed all that softness, too. I personally can't help but to smile and giggle as I get forced to waddle due to the padding. Then again, I am a dino "duck" :)
The Bambinos you mention are the Teddies, right? I have thought of trying them, but haven't had the chance. Not working doesn't put me in position to buy any diapers for myself. However, when I did have money, I did get cloth-like Cushies and still have about 7 left. I like how they feel, but may ggo back to a more plastic-crinkle if I ever get to pad up again. There's just something fun about having a fluffy-soft rump. *blush*
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Scooter. I hope this hasn't made you uncomfortable. However, as a friend, I do like to be open and get outside insights beyond my own. How to say, I try to not be a one-trick, or concept, pony. ;)
I'd love to try something more crinkly and nice from the Bambino family of diapers. Hearing they have ones with bunnies really makes me happy. Though, as you can imagine, I really wish we could get some nappies our size that have ducklings. ;
If you don't mind, I would like to thank you for having shared your feelings with me on the topic. Personally, bulky, waddly diapers are something that make me feel happy and imagining Yosh, myself, or perhaps even Scooter and Yosh having waddly times is fun. Keeps my mind positive while allowing me to enjoy that part of me that rarely seems able to be satiated. *Hugs* Thank you. :))
