Have you ever really thought about all the things you've done in fursuit? Here's a list of questions to help you figure out just how much fursuiting you've engaged in ;3
No rules (apart from having fursuited at one point or another), just answer the questions any way you'd like!
[As I say in my profile, I'm a gonzo suiter, I suit at crazy times in crazy places! On with the meme:]
Posed in front of a mirror?
Yes, when I first wore the head with a partial I checked my movements. I don't do that so much anymore.
Been shopping/to a supermarket/store in fursuit?
Yes, several times. The last was on Halloween when I picked up my girlfriend at Union Station in DC, yes in-suit, yes after work, yes I was in-suit all day at work in a cube farm in a Federal building, and we stopped at a local mart for the week's sundries. I walked, opting not to use the wheelchair. The clerks saw me enter and yelled "Adorable!" from afar. We went the entire racetrack of the store picking items. The store wasn't very busy, the clerks stopped us for pictures at the end.
Been group suiting?
Surprisingly, outside of cons, no. Just never had the opportunity to get a group together.
Ever put on your fursuit for no reason and worn it for an extended period of time?
Yes. I've gotten the urge to webcam and just worn it. Also, when I lived in a high-rise apartment building, I would suit up and go down to the lobby and greet all the Friday or Saturday night drunks coming in or out.
Have you walked around your hometown in fursuit?
Yes. I've suited at two White House protests, and two DC Santarchys.
Fursuited in a different country?
Nope, I need to renew my passport :(
Fursuited at a con? If so, how many times?
Yes, lost count.
Drank in fursuit?
Water? Always. Bottles are best, small 9oz plastic cups work well too.
Booze? I keep a cooler of beer on the back of my chair at cons and have a cooler cup attached to the side of my wheelchair :) Just as recently as last week I went to a happy hour and had one bottle followed by a tall thin glass of pilsner.
Hard Booze? Just ask
Kamber.
Eaten something?
Difficult, but yes. Non-messy stuff. The best I remember is being fed giant marshmallows at a furcon.
Put on someone else's fursuit?
No. I did try on heads only before I had my own suit.
Ruined the magic in public?
Yes, but... I'm most comfortable in-character as much as possible, but if I need to de-head now for heat reasons, I will. Since I routinely suit in public, sometimes security guards or bartenders will ask to see my face, and I happily comply.
Gone to a furmeet in suit?
Plenty! Delaware Furbowls and some private events.
Been in a moving car while in suit?
Yes. I usually drive myself, and impaired vision of any kind means a ticket, so the head is off.
Been glomped while in suit?
Yes!
Glomped someone while in suit?
Yes!! I've been asked to join room parties and be a cuddle date!
Made a child smile?
Yes. I've been to the USA Science and Engineering Festival in-suit, and in public parents routinely approach with their kids. I'm always happy to give a high-5.
Danced?
Barely. I approach heatstroke too fast.
Been in a fursuit dance competition?
Noooooooo!! I do wish, but I'm just not built for that. In my youth I did ballroom, that's the most dancing I've done ever.
Done something that attracted a large group of people while in suit?
Actually, no. It's something, I suit in public, like the subway or a public street or park, and one or two ask for a picture or look twice with a smile, but the vast majority of people just walk by.
Experienced a hater?
Yes, the biggest ones being in the fandom, who will remain unnamed. Outside the fandom, they are guaranteed to make an ass out of themselves in other ways, and how it works is obvious. They expose themselves as either always believing in the worst of humanity or being repressed.
Longest time in fursuit? (what counts as being in suit is up to you)
With breaks? 16 hours. Without? 3 hours.
And finally...
Most memorable moment in fursuit?
Too many to count! Improv at Whose Lion is it Anyway with Alkali? At cons, furs or mundanes both who were intimidated by me but after two minutes with me were not? Having my limbs and muzzle being pulled in through the holes of a groping box by the lady inside? Taking a picture beside the Orion capsule?
