Still breathing!
10 years ago
Hello to whoever still watches my FA. I don't really update this as much as I used to.
Totally didn't even make a Rainfurrest journal, but it was really awesome. I didn't take a lot of photos there because I was too busy partying with friends. It was one of the better RFs despite all the bad stuff people said they experienced. Nothing annoying happened to me at all, other than being dumb and losing my wallet Friday night. Luckily I found it the morning after haha. What an awesome weekend rooming with
marfles, Azlan (@AzlanFensulfur), Sniffum (@sniffum) and Rufus (@BlueKabu). ...No one really uses FA. But I got to hang out with lots of amazing people making it one of the most fun times in the US. Really hope to go down soon and see everyone again.
Other than RF, I've been studying Computer Science at SFU and that's been super rad. I absolutely love university. It can't feel better being out of the disgusting thing called high school. Going to school for what you love without cliques and other BS feels great. Classes go by quickly and assignments are easy.
Before starting post-secondary, I went to Silicon Valley over the summer to visit a bunch of companies. Instead of going to grad and blowing $430 on dinner, I decided to see Google, Apple, Dropbox, Twitter, Facebook, Zynga, Adobe, EA Games, PayPal, Ebay, Xilinex, Dolby, Advent, Tesla, Acer and one of NASA's offices. The whole concept of "prom", "grad", "homecoming" or whatever you want to call it is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It's just to see who can rent the most expensive car for one night and hook up with the hottest girl or whatever. I rented a car myself that day, but drove to San Mateo instead of downtown Vancouver where grad was. I was in Silicon Valley for about 10 days to take some time away from furries. It was one of the most meaningful trips I've made considering the amount of contacts I've made and the priceless experiences.
That's pretty much it I guess haha. Last con for the year Howloween next month. Hope to see a lot of people there!
BTW Twitter is way more active than here! (@AlphaWuffeh)

The silicon valley trip sounds like a lot of fun, definitely better than prom. How did you go about arranging it though ? I thought most companies won't give you a tour or even let you on their campus unless you know someone who works there.

I sent letters to companies beforehand there with an explanation. It worked out. I got to go into most campuses, including Google.
