So I just got back from Fur the 'More, and it was just as fun as I expected and more!

I finally got to meet  sheppymomma in person, and it was cool finally getting to meet another friend from online IRL. :3 Also got to meet a ton of new furs, make new furriends and see and chat with old ones!

I roomed with  wolfycorpse and  sycoskunk. We stayed at the hotel the whole con, and man it was sure a blast!  sycoskunk commissioned  lhiver for a partial commission of her skunk fursona SyCo, and I got to fursuit in fullsuit and partial all of Saturday and Friday!

My mate did not get to fursuit in partial though since his mask did not have a battery (our ex roommates stole it we think :/ since there was one in there before but it somehow "vanished"), he was severely overheating and the mask was way too tight. The sweating also caused the paint/ink to smear on one of his eyes (left?) on his mask. But he helped me around when I suited. Though I still feel bad he could not go suiting with me.

Sadly though the damage to my mask finally caved. The epoxie fix we did to it finally fully cracked. I will definitely need to send it back to  sharpe19 to get it repaired. She offered to repair it for free back when it broke back in October, but an old friend of mine let me borrow some of her epoxie so I could temp fix it until I could get it repaired by Sharpe. I may take pics of it later.

I fullsuited all of Friday, then fullsuited for the parade and some panels Saturday morning, then changed into partial for the  furthemore dance competition! I did not do well at all, but that is ok. I improv'd the whole thing, so I did not expect to do well. I did not have the time to practice a routine. I know some younger girls were speaking smack about me about it to when I danced. My mate informed me some girls behind him were speaking smack behind him saying "she cannot dance!" but that is ok. Honestly criticism does not bother me much, nor does people's opinions of me. I know I should have prepared for this, but it was last minute since I wanted to dance to a song for a friend of mine,  ino89777. I changed my song I was originally going to do, "Single Ladies," to dance to "Telephone" by Lady Gaga to surprise her to cheer her up. I know I did not do the song or her justice with my non-routined dance, but I hope I can at least put a smile on her face, since I know she has been down in the dumps due to people using her for her popularity... :/

My mate was sitting near the judge stand though, and he told me I was 2 points behind the winner of 1st place, who was my awesome friend  sheppymomma! I am happy she won though, she deserved it! Her performance was amazing and I am happy she won for her first dance competition ever. :3

My friend Caw who I met at the con  caw-o.o won third, and my friend Riiya  riiya won best in show! So happy they placed! I know what I need to practice on though. I need to actually dedicate more time, even if little, to get a basic routine down (even if just a gist of the kind of moves I want to do). I think I did ok though given that I danced all improve, and I did apparently almost place in first? I was surprised. My mate told me I would have won if not for the 2 point reduction. He said they selected who they thought should be 1st, 2nd, 3rd and best in show, then determined the points after that and that determined the winner. So being close to winning helps motivate me to being better next time! :D

It was also great to see again and meet tons of other fellow furs, including all the dancer fur peeps! If I do not have your names in here please forgive me as I still need to figure out what your FA's and whatnot are, lol! >w< I also kept running into but she was part of staff so I did not get to hang with her much. Also much thanks to  wolfmama for making this awesome couple's badge of my mate  wolfycorpse and I and making a badge of his character Wolfy Corpse!

I know I was recorded a LOT when I was in fullsuit on Friday, and some pics were taken of me in fullsuit and partial. Honestly though I think more videos were made of me then photos taken. Weirdly enough. O_o Lol!

We also got to go to some con party that and her mate Logarth invited us to, but we had to crash for the night so we did not stay for long. Plus since we do not drink that hard (and I do not drink at all, I usually just drink soda at parties, lol!) we just felt out of place a bit between those that were drinking a lot and getting plastered. Plus I felt extremely uncomfortable when some furry who I do not remember his name asked me to take off my mask of Snow to "see my face underneath." I reluctantly gave in since he got others to chime in with him to "take the mask off." I really do not like my mug after I had been suiting all day and I look nasty, my hair was all messy from being clipped up, and my face red from sweating all day. Not to mention I did not have makeup or anything on so to me I looked horrid. :/ I do not mind it in headless lounges when no one else sees (only other suiters) but in public I do not like to do it typically. Plus some of the dudes there seemed to be speaking rather negatively about women and treating them as "objects" which really pissed us off, especially since they talked about who they wanted to screw... x-x

But other than that I had a blast! I needed something to do to go and have fun after all the stress that happened with kicking my roommates out. The stresses of the one living here and the drama they created for all of us just was too much to bear. It has still been stressful even after they left (we found out one of them stole the battery out of my mate's fursuit mask. He went to turn his fan on which there WAS a 9V working battery in it, but it was not in there when we brought it to the con, and we never took it out. We think the guy stole it for his GF to use on the fan I bought her back for Christmas back when we were still "friends."). At least they are out of the house now though, and hopefully out of our lives for the most part. Egh. But this con certainly was a way for all of us to have fun, cheer up, and relax after all that stress!

I already cannot wait for Anthrocon! I plan to practice more hardcore for the dance comp this time, since the Fur the 'More one was so last minute, I should have months now to get ready this time and not just improv, lol!

Also it was great to see  RyujiKimura again even if just for the dance comp and brief moments, and all my other furriends I may have forgotten to include! and  ikato hope to see more of ya at Anthrocon then I saw of ya at Fur the 'More, lol! Missed seeing ya at the dance comp, and hope to see you more around then! Love you all!
