Here's to a fresh start
12 years ago
It's been a very interesting year to say the least, a "year of change" as I like to call it.
- Finished with the one-year armed service. I waited to go to the army for my entire life up to that point and now It's been almost a year since I finished it. Good friends and memories remain. *sigh*
- Moved into my own appartment to try my wings a bit so to say.
- Started my studies in a new school.
- A close relative passed away.
- Fairly radical changes to what has been a workplace otherwise untouched by all sorts of worldly changes.
- The majority of remaining services in my hamlet of residence were closed because "Monnnay".
- ect...
It's not all bad really, but the general status quo of my life has changed more during 2013 than any other year this far. Anyways... it's been a whopping 11 hours and 52 minutes of 2014 as the time of writing and it looks promising.
I'd like to wish all of my commissionees, watchers, watchees, friends, acquaintances, commenters, favers and noters the best of everything for the new year of 2014!
Let's see what 2014 has to offer us.
Cheers!

I'm studying Tourism and Hospitality in a University of Applied Sciences. I like working with foreingers.
The story behind my name is a pretty long one, but I'll try to keep it to the point: Back in the day when I realized my furriness and joined a certain small forum, my forum avatar (a mean-looking fox on a dark background) gave me the idea of my username which I've been using ever since. In retrospect the name's a bit clumsy by having the word "The" in it, but I'm known by that name all over the internet, so I'm not changing it anymore. I don't exactly live up to my name by being a particularly nasty vulpine, I'm actually quite friendly and positive, but I can be a real bitch of a fox if the situation calls for it.
Police work wouldn't be for me though. Too many drunk people to deal with for my liking.
Speaking of saving people; I'm a Fireman in the local voluntary fire brigade, so I've some experience on people-saving. It's a hobby that I started as a kid. I really like it too, because it makes me feel like I'm worth something.
I didn't even realize the similarity with our avatars before you mentioned it. It's as if they're looking at the replies above them.
Happy New Year to you, pal, and I wish you all the best for your future!
Cheers!
