FE! and some sad news.
12 years ago
Well FE was a lot of fun. I ended up spending a good deal of my time with misterdad which helped me stay out of trouble i guess but i had a great time. i saw a lot of friends i had not seen in a while and i hope to have my spring furmeet here at the homestead again this year. Last year was filled with depression and self loathing. this year i am a happy pup so ahoy!
My panels went very well. Thank you to everyone involved and i hope you learned something from them. It was not the standard hey howdy folks this is how you write but instead keep your chin and work your ass off at developing good habits. My second panel is mostly just me talking about crazy shit i've seen and done and reading a few stories went well too, despite the extreme exhaustion. I do apologize for my poor readings that day, i was rather tired since i had no CPAP that weekend and as cadeus exclaimed the next morning "Dude you stopped breathing for like three minutes!". Yeah it's an excuse but my eyes were half crossed most of the day so nya!!!. I did have a fellow inquire as to if my anecdotes were in published format somewhere(sorry i am terrible with names and stuff). The answer at the moment is no. I was never one for writing non-fiction because it makes me nervous telling real stories about people. What if they get mad? i really don't know how to deal with that kind of stuff. Mind you i have lead an incredible life. i've so much hilarious and crazy stuff while working in so many different environments that i wonder if i should start putting it down on paper.
Now for some sad news. Yes it took my this whole post to get to it because i would not be able to write if i started with it. My beautiful kitten of 12 years passed away last night. Shayley was sick for about a week and crawled under the desk where becky sat and gave up her battle. I thought she was going to recover when she started eating again but in the end she left us. I miss her so much already.
I love you Shayley, may you rest in peace.

As for FE, I was happy to see you and had a lovely time at the con. We have to hang out outside conspace more often, lad. It's not like you live a million years away!
Very sorry to hear about your pet, I know how it is to lose a long-time pet, I've had to go through the same somewhat recently, but, they're never really truely gone. There isn't a day that goes by that something reminds me very fondly of my passed feline friend. In that way, he's still always alive with me. *HUGS*
I know from talking to other furs - that if you were to release a book of your real life anecdotes.. they would sell like freakin' hot cakes!
Also, sorry to hear about your cat. The longest living cat I ever had was 9 years, I think.
It was nice meeting you at FE!
It was great running into you at FE! I wish I could have attended your panel on Sunday but I was on the way home at that time. Hopefully next year!
I am glad you seemed to have fun at FE though. Sucks i was not able to make it as it would have been awesome to catch up :3
Very sorry about Shayley. Our furry friends always leave an empty space much larger than they seemed to fill in life, as I found out last year. The memories are always warm ones though, and happily they linger far longer than the hurt. Hope your kids are alright.
