Dear Journal/Blog
I haven't updated this in a long time, and I suppose my writing gene has just been snipped off. Ive been very busy over the last few years and I just haven't had the motivation to do nothing but write - at least not for very long, so I'll try to catch everybody up.
Apparently my last journal entry was June 7th 2008, so let me start from around that time.
I went with Randy (Bunny Fujin/Randalfin) to Rain Furrest 08. I have to say it was one of the best fur cons that I've had the opportunity to attend, mostly because the furs that were there all seemed real and genuine furs rather than the fake furs you see at bigger cons like Further Confusion or Anthrocon. I also enjoyed it because I got to finally resolve a rivalry I had with Kayfox, and work security at the convention. I actually ended up pulling a 23 hour shift on security, that was insane: I couldn't leave till I was relieved of duty, and my relief was hours away so....yeah that was fun.
Aside from the convention, I resumed my normal routine of doing absolute all of Jack and shit, untill one night when I got some taco bell. I had ordered a Grande Meal (for those who know their taco bell) for myself, and some other tacos for later and all the tacos were made wrong. I was so upset that I was going to call up the manager I saw in the window and cuss her out 9 ways from sunday. But then I remembered how it was to be on overnight at McDonald's and I decided that yelling at her really wasn't going to solve anything at all. So, with the help of my neighbor Adam we drove back over to get a replacement. I asked the manager "Why the mistake? Should I have given the order in spanish?" and she said. "Oh no it's just these damn teenagers: I have a bunch of teenagers from battleground high school who just turned 18 but aren't mature. They don't pay attention to anything and just want to stand there and text one another with their cell phones." So I responded by saying that if I worked for her that I wouldn't pull shit like that and I'd get the job done. She asked what I was doing that Thursday and said that she'd be hiring me then.
I ended up talking myself into a job! Sweet ass....
So, randy and I both had been working from October of 08 until now. About the only real big thing that's happened to us since then was in late December/Early January we both took a trip to visit Randy's mother, whom he hadn't seen in years. We took a greyhound (the bus not the furry), and I've come to the conclusion that I'm never taking a greyhound again. Not after having my legs squished or just all in all never being able to make myself comfortable. Greyhound has a bad habit of cramming everyone and their second cousin onto each bus so you can't really do anything but sit upright. I can't stand how some people can sleep on gryehounds but I can't. Oh I get rest that looks like sleep, but I contribute that to passing out rather than sleeping.
Oh yes, and Mephesto my beloved cat has passed away earlier this year. Mephesto of my twin cats Haku & Mephesto, had contracted a horrible urinary tract blockage of which I am told occurs quite commonly in his breed/gender. Unfortunately we had no real way of identifying any real warning signs until it was too late. Mephesto one afternoon just let out a yowl and crawled under the couch and started yowling all afternoon. Randy and I thought it was funny, but then it stopped being funny after a while. then he started to throw up, and yowl every so often. Then his movements became ultra sluggish and he was slowed to a crawl, until finally he just collapsed in places and didn't move for hours.
After a visit to the vet we decided that putting him down was the best for him, as I couldn't stand to see him suffer like that. I'd raised him from kitten hood myself and It was like watching my own child dying in front of my eyes. I have learned to cope for the most part, but I definitely feel a huge wake in his absence. Things around the house aren't as rambunctious or random, and Haku is much more vocal now. Haku seems to have picked up the habit of yowling at random now when he was content to be the silent one. Mephesto was more known for randomly meowing for no real reason.
ANyway i think Im going to try to update this daily. If not, oh well.
