Keeping Up
13 years ago
(cross posted to LJ) (long)
I have been really bad as of late about keeping up with FA and LJ.
I have said many times in the past that I'd try better at keeping up with things but, I don't follow through.
It is so difficult to come home and sit on the computer after sitting at one all day at work but, I am starting to fall out of the loop by neglecting online stuff.
I have managed to get myself active on Fetlife and I intend to do the same here followed by my LJ. My twitter account may remain covered in dust as I don't have the time during the day to keep up.
I am about to hit the 15 year mark in furry. A lot has changed, including myself. There is a lot of re-tooling that I I'd like to do. The fandom has gotten so much younger that I now feel like a greymuzzle at 34.
Some folks have asked when I will host another meet again. My last public meet was a couple years ago and attendance was waining. Folks were either not showing up after RSVP-ing or turning up well after things started up unnanounced. Blocking off an entire day to have things fall thru last minute was getting annoying.
This does not mean I will never host a meet again but, the next shot at a meet will not be until the weather gets nicer and I am back in the loop so to speak. I have found as of late that contacting a small handful of folks directly for a private meet has worked much much better. Personally I want to focus on building individual friendships going forward rather than playing host.
If you'd like feel free to drop me a line. The best way to reach me until I get myself back up to speed is via email (wallyfox98athotmail.com), via text message (if you have my cell#), I am also active (at the moment) on Fetlife, and I do lurk on YIM.

I can't keep up with the sites I wish to either. I currently give priority to here, and FetLife and my email comes next in line, followed by InkBunny and a few programming sites. I gave up on LiveJournal years ago, and never really understood the point of Twitter.
Shortly after graduating college most new furs seem to be 18-19 with a much different attitude and culture than was present when I first found the fandom.
There are many cool younger furs but, some seem to lack respect for those who have been in the fandom longer than they have, and seem to have a "know it all" attitude. When I was a youngin, I actually looked up to the older furs as opposed to looking away!
LJ is dying but, Facebook's rules prevent me from using it (can't leave out my real name to everyone who reads). I hardly use it but, getting reverse 911 tweets sent to my cell during Sandy and other local emergencies has made it worh keeping.
