Officially back from EF!
10 years ago
General
Ok... wow... where do I even begin with this? I feel like so much happened in just one week. I will take it from the first things then! I am not sure what I am supposed to be writing!
Are you here for the short version!? Here: IT WAS MINDBLOWINGLY AWESOME
I feel so empty after this con. I met so many new people, I got to see so many of my friends, so many of my favorite artists, so many furries. I have done things that felt like I'd never even do because I am always living so cautiously and boringly. I made memories. It was the best and I never felt a bigger urge to become a better person.
See, in EF, most things don't matter. Where are you from? Noone bothers much. What's your sexuality? Noone bothers much. Are you ugly? Noone bothers much. I felt like I was surrounded by so many wonderful and beautiful people. I was thinking EF would be full of weird socially disabled people (maybe I am overexaggerating a bit) and sex addicts (maybe I am overexaggerating again) but it turned out that I was faster to judge everything from a distance and from just a small point of view. I was staring at a tree and ignored the forest. Noone I met or talked to disappointed. If anything, everything felt like a party.
Fursuits were creepy for a moment. A single moment and then they were awesome. After I chatted with some a bit, I felt so stupid. I thought hugging people was weird. Before EF, I would hardly hug close friends and during EF I realised it was nothing more trivial than an actual handshake. I was so worried people would think I am similar to my character, but it turned out fine too. That was so relieving!
I generally feel like I had my world crushed. And then replaced with a new one that was 10000times better. It felt like I was discovering so many new things at the same time. I talked to people. I had fun with people. Nothing else mattered so long someone wasn't being a dick. I had learned to protect myself from others by judging books by their covers and I ended up discovering that even under the craziest fronts was a beautiful story waiting to be read.
I made so many memories. I am actually crying like a homo so much, I can't believe this week was so short. It feels like I have been into a paradise full of colors and I am back on the cold grey ground where I was being me. And I feel like I am nowhere the same person as the person I was before I attended EF.
I managed to get the best lifelessons ever from a con where people go to have fun. I don't know how I did it, but I want to hope I can improve so much more in so many things and then share them with everyone at the next EF.
Now for the craziest news ever: If people remember, I said I had no clue how to explain this to my folks. It turned out that I never really had to. They haven't seen me this happy in their lives and when I told them I was gonna go again next year, they only stated that I must.
I love you all guys. Thanks for making my first con such a treasure for me!!!
Now someone gimme a hug! Kthx!! Post con depression sucks so fucking much!! What soothens me is that, I know that all the awesome people that have been part of my life for so long will still be in skype. I know they are still there. That's what made EF so special!!!
PS: I only regret the things I didn't get to do >:3!!

Hope you like it
I don't know why I found that so amusing xD it was fun meeting you, though it would have been nice to get the chance while less inebriated.
Thanks again for the cons #1 hugs! You were one of the only people that didn't hurt me haha
How can people hurt with hugs @n@!? They are such a soft thing!
Nah but seriously, I'm really glad to hear you had such a great time. Reading it now, makes me realise how much of an impact it had.
And as your father, I am glad our son made such a huge step so quickly and so well <3
Thanks daddy (hah!)!! In all honesty, you guys were so much help in EF. I really hope I wasn't too much of a burden, I felt like that a few times @w@ You can't imagine what it means to me to have friends like you around!
And don't apologise ;p We want you to have a good time aswell, which we believe we did <3
Just gotta wait till next year to party that hard again ;D
Also it is good to see you happy too. ;)
You are one piece of this colorful family, and as important as everyone else. I love to see that you had those good experiences, and this is the reason why all those crazy workers and security volunteers works their butt off =^______^= I'm so much looking forward to seeing you guys again.
Take care, stay healthy, all the best wishes from Germany!
*prrt* Ponchi :3
Last night I was staying with you guys at the hotel was so hard for me. You and Ryu and Leaffox and Kentucky (I still haven't found him) made it quite enjoyable and I forgot how shit I was feeling :) I really hope I can share a drink with you guys in the next EF!!! And I get why you love this convention, it felt like the best thing ever!!!
And also, seriously, I can't believe how adorable and soft fursuits are @w@ Like... oh god!! I've been missing out so much @w@!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm already suffering from post-con-depression as well... xD
I hope I'll be able to come next year again, then we'll meet again!
It was nice meeting you there as well - and I would look forward to next year and maybe meet you more often ^.^
