This was a great convention time for me. Down side is I did not suit up all that much. I don't know what to do about it!

I love to goof off during the parades, saying hi to people, posing and acting silly. However I don't seem to be able to transfer the energy I have then, to just suiting and going around interacting with folks. :(

Often the most time I clock suiting is for dancing, but this year I focussed most on room parties. I barely set foot on the dance floor, I did not look at the program, and only watched to the dance comp (The drama llama skid stood out most I loved it :3). Even for parties I did not put the effort to walk in suited...

I just can't convince myself to suit up for walking around aimlessly to stumble on folks that will engage me. I think I just don't know how to approach the matter. If so I'd want to play the character but how? How can I make the feline personality shine through and make people react and want to interact (both furries and non-furries). Will I feel a sense of accomplishment that will give me a rush of endorphins? When going out aimlessly it seems I cant connect with myself and I cannot find motivation, so I feel like I'd be that wallflower guy walking around with a gray cloud over his head, hence avoided.

Excuses for not suiting? I was a bit too busy with the setup of the burning man party, and helping out with fabric mountain stocks. Individually each task I did ate an hour here and there, amounted to having no idle time. The rest being spent partying, looking for parties, and hanging out with friends. I feel the above are just excuses I give myself for not suiting. I was exhausted so there must be truth to it, but I also feel I don't know how to handle suiting.

Overall, I spent more time with my fursuit head in my arms than wearing it, which is silly. I'm breaking the magic, and defeating the purpose of having an alter ego I can use to do shenanigans. My suit is nice enough that I got compliments while not wearing it so I have no excuse ^^. I'd like to be able to whore out for attention, by being more fun for everyone to interact with me. I think I'd get more photo ops, which would be an indication of my ability to entertain as Velkro. I'd like Velkro to be the life of the party :3

Originally my intent was to suit up within the fandom, for parties and becoming part of our carnival, and festive ambiance. However in events like BLFC and AC, there is merit to goof around with non furs, kids and elderly are fun to mess around with: They often engage in the magic. I however still would not want to do a fursuit outing. I do not really like the interactions that stem out of that, even if my friends seem to enjoy it a lot. For that I feel my mind is at a different level than theirs, so I cannot find fulfillment with these events that seem to make them very happy. I don't want to be the weird attraction people point at.


Ah personality wise, I'd like Velkro to act like a fun bratty kid, always trying to pull a fast one, while being too cute and innocent while doing it.
