Some personal thoughts and announcements.
12 years ago
I just want to type out a small thing in regards of issues at this last meet we just had. If you wish not to read them, skip to the small area that says ANNOUNCEMENTS for up coming events that I will be hosting along side with other furs.
So, I just want to start off saying that this was probably one of the largest meets I've attended since I started going in March 2012, it was kind of refreshing seeing some new faces even though I spent 85% of the meet in my car avoiding people. I was suppose to make a speech along with some announcements with a couple other furs at this meet, but due to some drama the arisen...None of this happened, so the purpose of this journal is to inform you of what I was going to say at the meet and as well as clear up some rumors that were going around at the meet.
I suppose I will start with the speech bit. I was suppose to be talking about the effects the media has on the fandom and how it personally hurt me in certain ways, even though the news report was successful. As I was going to say in my speech, I don't do anything I do for fame and I honestly never originally wanted to be interviewed, I was trying to get by to talk to someone and kinda over hear what kind of questions they were asking for the interview. However, they kinda spotted me and asked me if I wanted to be interviewed and the rest if history from there. It felt good to be part of something good and was incredibly proud of how the report came out and was shocked to find some much of me in the report, especially since they really didn't record a lot of me to begin with. I mention the fame thing as a joke and only as a joke, I'm aware the joke has run it's course and that it why I kind of stopped mentioning it for awhile or only say it amongst close friends now. I suppose I should apologize to those who are I guess offended by this or annoyed? If it starts to bother you, don't be afraid to approach me and talk to me privately about it, I really don't bite.
That was the rough jist of what I had to say I guess, I'm kind of typing this all upset and not sure if everything worded out properly. So, let's hop onto the rumors that have been spreading around me during this last meet. I suppose a handful of you people saw a young girl holding my hand at the meet, I am going to say this once and I am not going to bring it up ever again. If you still choose to hold this against me, then by all means ignore and remove me. She was playing the role as my handler since she was the one who constructed the head I was wearing at the time and me not being able to see without my glasses, she took my hand to guide me to group of people safely through the parking-lot. If you label this as a form of pedophilia, then you REALLY need to get your priorities straight. The biggest slap in the face was that the individual who was concerned about it felt the need to indirectly publicly post it on his own facebook group that I'm a part of and also his personal facebook and then proceed to the host of the meet and say and I quote, "You need to do something about this..." While it is good to, "If you see something, say something to the host..." There are different ways in handling the situation rather than publicly posting it on facebook and then informing the host. This is not only an insult, it's down right disrespectful and in a way an invasion of privacy for you do not know what is even going on. It's really common sense, think before you post something or tell someone something because you really know how to tarnish someones image and ruin a meet for them. IF the speech were to happen and I wasn't calmed down by several furs, this very might have been my last furmeet at the Town Line Diner and fortunately, I have supportive friends and helped me get through this and I appreciate it.
If you want the short version of what is typed above, here it is. There was a rumor going around, don't believe it because somebody is stupid pretty much...
-ANNOUNCEMENTS-
So, Vain and I were planning a meet near the Danbury area if anyone is interested. We planning on meeting at the Denny's in Danbury which is kind of on the boarder of Bethel. We plan to potentially see a movie immediately following it at the Loew's Theater (assuming that's the one we are going to since that's the only big theater I know of in Danbury). I believe we selected the date of Saturday, May 25th, but keep in mind that this date may or may not change. Look for an official post on the CTFur's facebook page.
And there are also a couple more meets in the process of being planned, but dates and times are yet to be determined. keep an eye out for these posts as well. Thanks for reading!

He's a very protective indvidual, and he wouldn't have made a bit of a stink if he wasn't concerned. Granted, I'm not defending his actions, because he was more than a little rash, but I'm defending his intentions. Also, I mentioned that I heard rumblings of the scenario, but it wasn't from him, so, I think in all fairness it should be addressed that multiple people were getting the wrong idea. As I said before on facebook, people shouldn't jump to conclusions, I just feel like a little too much flack is falling on someone who's been a tried and true member of our fandom and has proven to have no ill intent.
If you really wanna help in this situation, don't choose sides. Just stay out of it and let us take care of it our selves, by involving yourself it makes things more difficult to fix. Not saying you are, I'm just saying it's just best you let well enough alone.
I also want to point out, because I was in a hurry to even type up this journal. I actually know the girls mother and sister, therefore I am not even a "stranger" to the family as mentioned in the comments in the post by the individual who original made the post. I understand he's trying to be protective, however as I also said. He didn't need to publicly post it to facebook and let the whole meet know that I was pedophile. That is wrong on his part. I see he chooses to no longer attend meets for while, if this is true or not, I still expect an apology directly to me. Not a public post.
This is all I have to say on this topic and I will not be discussing it further. Thank you.
