[Furry] What Do I Think Of You?
16 years ago
First, a wrap-up of my previous journal:
After reading all the responses, it seems that the general opinion of me, that people were willing to voice in public is thus. I'm pretty nice, shy and worried about what people think about me. I'm also opinionated and sometimes stubborn, arrogant, and a show-off. Fair enough assessment of me, I guess.
Oh, and as for my fursona, people think that it's pretty hawt but perhaps a bit too red.
Now for the real meat of the journal. As promised on my previous journal, I'm now going to give people the opportunity to ask me, publicly or in notes, what my opinion is of them. A few disclaimers first.
1) Just because I'm offering up my opinion of people doesn't mean I somehow think it's more important than other people's opinions of them. I'm simply willing to share it for those who are curious, in the same way that I was curious about how others viewed me.
2) I will be polite, but honest, and fair to the best of my ability. If I don't know enough about you based on our online/offline interactions, I'll say that.
With that all said, readysetgo! Ask away, and I'll tell you what I think of you.

Cheers mate.
There are times when it feels like you think you know what I should do better than I do. Telling me when I've been a dick, or telling me that my ego has gotten to my head, or things like that. That's probably both a blessing and a curse. It's good that you can be frank and give your opinion to me, and help keep me in check. But at the same time, it sometimes feels like you misunderstand things I do, and turn nothing into something.
Overall the good times far outweigh the bad times, and I'm glad to have you as a friend. You're a nice person, and you're always lookin' out for me.
Admittedly, I do have a tendency to overreact sometimes and, as you say, turn nothing into something. :3 It's just my nature, I suppose. I think I've gotten a little better in the past few months, don't 'cha think? :P
Usually, the reason I do it with you is because I do, in fact, misunderstand the things you do. :3 It's ironic that you mention that you feel that I think I know what you should do better than you do, because I actually feel you do the same thing sometimes not only to me, but to others, too. :P I avoid talking with you about computer stuff and what I like nowadays because when I used to do it, the vibe I got from you was that what I liked and found useful was wrong and that I should be using what you're using. A more recent example was our conversation about your porn bed. I told you that I wouldn't ever get one of those, especially at the price at which you bought it, because it didn't fit my needs (e.g. it has a headboard and it looked hard to climb out of); it seemed you were trying to convince me otherwise. >.> This what I meant in the other journal when I said that you come off as arrogant sometimes and it feels that you try to push your opinion on to other people. :P
With all of that said, I definitely do overreact. x3 I should be handling these situations a little more maturely. As I've mentioned, I think I'm improving a little. :3 Either way, I'm really glad to have you as a friend. n.n
P.S. I'm not one of those folks that goes on about "Vista's going to steal about your personal information". :P I'm one of those folks that likes to tinker around with code for kernels and software that other people have made. :3 Linux allows me to tinker around with its kernel, since it's open source. Since a lot of the software for Linux is also open source, it makes sense for me to use Linux over Vista. :P Anyway, I've already rambled on more about this than I wanted to. We're supposed to be talking about how we feel about one another, not about which operating system we like the most.
*loves upon very much!* <3
Not anytime soon~ xD
:O I'm in Orlando.
And I you. >:)
Let the stalking commence.
Where about in Orlando? We're over near Winter Park.
Orlando is so packed full of furries.
but is it actually possible to get to know each other online that well? you can see each other via webcam and you can talk via mic you do you really get to know how that person is acting if he or she isnt online? i kinda doubt it.
thats why i dont really like long distance relationships^^
i mean, prove that im really a guy^^ i posted pics of myself on FAF but is that really me? :P maybe im just a weird fat chick or a 60 years old perv X3
you can change your voice with tools, you can say you have no webcam and just maintain the way you write and no one can tell what you really are^^
sure, thats not always the case (im very honest about myself on the internet, too). but still, i prefer real life contacts :3
ive always been a little careful about stuff like this, i dont know why... maybe im a little too careful.
Oh. You mean. Right.
I don't remember particular discussions we've had, but I know you comment on my stuff now and then, and I've got a generally good impression of you. You draw some, ah, interesting stuff, but a little imagination is healthy here and there, no? ;)
Relating my stuff to 'interesting' is like relating murder to 'slightly discomforting'. But thanks for your appraisal ^^
You are a dog beastie who is not CUDDLY enough and thus is emotionally dead inside >:[
I kid. You don't really comment on my stuff much so I don't have anything else constructive to say about you. I really do need to get around to watching you...
What I can say is that you seem to have a pretty cute sense of humor, based off of some of the submissions I've seen from you in the past. And you don't seem like a troll, so, that's a good thing =D
*rides you into the sunset*
If ya wanna do that opinion thing on me, cool, but no pressure ^_^
~N~
Youuuu are a little crazy xD It's one thing to be open to drawing all sorts of things, and another to yourself come up with things that push the boundaries of comfort for people. You've contributed a ton of art to the fandom over the past I don't know how many years. Side-note: I think you're the person I learned the backstory of "yiff" from.
You were, when we talked more often, a horny bugga who wanted to get laid by guys before settling down with a girl, which is something I've seen more of since from other people ;3
*snickers* Why thanks, I took all of that as rather complimentary >;} As a heads up, about 80% of the things I know of, I didnt come up with though, I just heard or saw something about it throughout the fandom. Like vore, inflation, gore, amputation.. almost any of the more extreme things (and by extreme, I mean not normally done by human beings) I got from someone else :p
As for the "laid by guys" part.. that hasn't changed, and my g/f knows it well XD Im rather surprised that all of the response was completely positive.. thanks :3
~N~
~N~
And there is no such thing as too red! >:3
Red is wonderful.
Na, I kid. I know I've seen you commenting around but not enough for me to remember what it was about. Try harder! D:
Although you probably don't need me to tell you, you seem shy and socially awkward at times when I see you at fur cons. When you put on your fursuit, you become a totally different person. You're more active, social, curious, engaging, playful, even willing to go to the point of what some might call flirty. Whether that's all part of the fursuit act or an unplanned consequence of wearing the suit, it's a very interesting transformation to see. Hell, even when you speak in suit, you're much more articulate.
You certainly have never left me with bad impressions. At worst you can seem a bit awkward, but then again, so am I ~_~
And also for why I'm socially awkward and shy. It's because when I'm in large groups who are more openly social. I tend to get intimitated. Because I'm not use to be around those kind of people and all that. But, I am trying to be more sociable because Ineed to change myself for the better. :P
And also for me fursuiting. Well, it's pretty much an act. :P Because my fursona is my alter ego. My better self. :P He's everything I wanted to be. So, whyen I put him on. I turn into him. So to speak. :P So, I guess I need to learn from my alter ego in order to be more sociable than my rl self. :P
So, glad that you don't think I'm a jerk. Feel happy about it. :)
Be straightforward and honest. No holding back.
GO ALL PRO ICE IF YOU GOTTA I AM SET FOR THIS
You're clearly not as big into the furry scene as I am, which makes me sad in the pants, but you're still awesome to talk with. You're more knowledgeable than me on some things, less so on others, but overall I wouldn't say either of us outclasses the other when it comes to the stuff we talk about.
You're easy-going enough, and not overly confrontational, even if we did meet because somebody mentioned my views on Blu-ray/Sony/PS3/whatever and you wanted to shake your fist in my direction.
Ummm, it makes me sad when you're too busy hanging with your REAL friends or getting high to grace me with your presence (which I do not mean in any sarcastic sense).
So, like, you should take the money you'd spend on weed, and spend it on art. And take the time you'd spend stoned, and spend it with me. Then we can make each other murr until you wonder why you didn't try it sooner. Kinda like being a dragon ;3
The thing is, I used to be a shutin, partly in thanks to my parents. So now that I'm over the age of majority I've been vigorously exercising my social ability. It's honestly not as exciting as I expected it to be, although a lot of wild shit has happened and I will say that I had myself a lot of fun.
A long time ago, when I was a smaller Gio, still spotty-faced and in the awkward stage of my teen years, my father more or less made my existence sheer misery due to the fact that most of my friends were online. 'course, that was just some of the shit he gave me and there was rivers more of it, great, heaping piles of shit. It's like he shit all over my life. But I'll go into detail about his AWESOME parenting skills later.
I didn't quite recover from that, and so I set some bars for myself to reach. And that brings me to where I am now - hitting up clubs and rolling around my hood with my bros, chilling to the maximum, and all the other good shit that you've mentioned. I stay out of the house a lot more.
I had the great good luck to start getting into the furry fandom during the early stages of my launch, so to speak, so now i'm finding myself stuck. I figured since we're all hell of baring emotions, I might as well do the same.
Very little stops me from just staying on the internet all the time. I would if I could. The problem is that I care about what people think, which brings me around to why I can't grow a pair and roll as deep in the fur community as you do.
I am slightly surprised you don't find me an annoyance to begin with, let alone the fact that you actually pay attention to my disappearances off and on. I kinda logged on just expecting you to call me a Registered Asshole, but a funny one, hence why you keep me around. :P
tldr: lawl, insecurities. you're the man, though. or should i say, you're the dragon
I wonder what you'd say if you knew me...................:P
Including myself unfortunately >.>
:D
As a person, you're actually a bit squirrely :P You're soft-spoken, a little awkward, but polite and nice. You're picky about details when it comes to art, but you're also patient. You're not very confrontational, and seem much more willing to humor opposing viewpoints than I am.
Now for my furry response: I admit that I'm submissive a lot. But what's that about me needing a girl's permission?
On a more serious note, I dunno, you seem nice enough but we don't connect on a whole lot of things! But you're respectful and good to the fuzz, and I don't have anything bad to say about you.
-nervous-
But now that I know you aren't mean, maybe we should chat a little more often. ^^
no response is neccesary. <3
I like it. c:
1) You love getting it in the butt.
2) You love spelunking in other people's butts.
3) You have the constant need to be pregnant.
Or in your case, all 3 things.
Personality-wise you're nice enough, if a bit passive when it comes to your needs. Know how to get a dragon to notice you? Be more persistent and demanding ;3
Makes it even more appropriate that I am British x3
You're a sensible person, and a good friend.
You're like the only fuzzy dragon I know D:
D: Yeah... that's all I got on you.
Sadly probably not much, we don't chat all that often... Although we have had some interesting talks about tech and games x3
I guess its a shame we haven't spoken more n..n
I love talking to you, pretty much everything you do or say is adorable and makes me want a Deimion plush <3
I think it was the one where you wanted to see peoples start menus. I named mine "startforfuzzy" and you noticed.
I think that your quest to be known but not for porn is, erm, interesting, but I've told you that before. There's nothing wrong with doing porn, and frankly, who cares if that's what it takes to get people's attention? As long as you stay true to the stuff you like doing and continue to draw your crazy monster stuff, you're in the clear.
But overall, as I said before, you're a good guy. Socially awkward at times, like many of us, and not without his imperfections, but a gooood guy :3
Sure, let's hear it!
But seriously, yeah, that sounds like me. :3 I treat online like a playground a lot of the time. Maybe I come from the old school FurryMUCK roleplayer's club, but it's fun to indulge in all this wackyness. Sometimes it is fun to just sit around and bullshit, other times, well, break out the 70s porno music.
Hey, maybe we'll meet at a con one day and the mystery of our players will be revealed! ...usually followed by "so what's for lunch?" :)
Hey, don't feel bad, I don't give you proper attention, either. I don't talk to you nearly as often as I'd like to... which is entirely my own fault!
Naw, you're a nice yoshi :p
And seriously, if you wanna talk to me more often start a conversation, ya dick!
Those issues aside... I dunno really. A year or two ago I probably would've accused you of being lazy and not trying hard enough to get a job, but I think at some point you got a job, and now I don't have one, soooo like... screw that argument.
Obviously we've had our ups and downs, possibly moreso than anyone else. You have the distinction of being the person who's blocked me the longest and still talks to me, and the only person who's lost his genitals too :o
But I'd say that at the end of it, we both respect each other, and although we're not terribly close, neither would be too uncomfortable popping in to chat. So you're a pretty good ratbeastie.
Nicholas is somewhat of an antisocial gamer nerd who has probably never kissed a girl and will have to eventually pick between having a heterosexual male life partner like Jay & Silent Bob, or being a loner who pwns 12 year olds online when he's in his 30s.
There, as long as I make the wolf laugh more than growl, I'll be safe, right? :3
I think your a sweet guy who is fucking awesome to hang out with X3
Although I've used this word a lot lately, it still applies to you: You're a nice guy! For my last year at Cornell you were probably the closest non-classmate friend I had (Chelsea saw me every day of the week, hard to beat that), and for the year before that, you were probably my best local friend. So even if it may feel like we've gotten a bit distant during the summer, you're still a great friend to me, and you kept me company when nobody else would ~_~
Of course you're not without your flaws. It always felt to me that you liked to parade your summer work and your boss a bit more than was graceful. Once sharing the information is okay, more than that and it feels like you're bragging =P
You also felt a bit awkward socially when we hung out. Not all the time, but sometimes. I mean, I know I'm no model for that stuff, but I can still notice awkward silences and transitions. Of course, most of the people here who I have stuff to say about are guilty of that. Go furries >_>;
Good guy though, somebody I clearly don't mind spending time with <3
Since then I've gotten over it, aaand feel kinda silly about the whole thing, though I do wish I'd gotten to know you better during that half week. We haven't talked much since then so I don't have a whole lot to say about you D: But I don't have any major issues with your personality or actions in the past year or two <<
As for the latter, that seems to be the nature of being at such a large con, and the clash in personalities. At home, I'm a bit reserved, but at events such as AC, I'm a lot more outgoing. If I'm not partying, I'm going to create the party. You seem a lot more reserved and uncomfortable with the level of ruckus of the parties I enjoy. Couple that with the boatload of people to catch up with at a con so large and it gets difficult to spend a reasonable amount of time with individual people. Nothing personal, I'm just all PARTYPARTYCRASHPARTYMORE at cons.
Uhm, on a more serious note, I dunno ._. You know I love ya, and I clearly plan to be with you, like, until we're both gross and don't want to look at each other's sagging skin folds. You're a show-off, and proud of your stuff, and affectionate, and you know all of these things and will openly admit to them. If I had any issues with you I would've brought them up by now =P
You have been doing a very good job at respecting my personal boundaries and I commend you on that. You may be happy to know that I have random bouts of snugliness, you may be less happy to know that so far they're mostly when I'm going to bed and you're asleep and I want to snuggle up against you but don't want to wake you up ~_~ Give it some time and maybe that'll happen during the daytime.
You're a good fox. I regret all the little fallouts we've had in the past, because I've really enjoyed your company in the past, and hope we can continue to be friends for a long time into the future. Sometimes you feel a bit distant, but I guess that goes both ways ~_~
I'd have to say first off that you've always struck me as outgoing and friendly. You always greeted me with a "Hiya!" or things of that nature, very enthusiastic. I can't recall once that you've been depressed or cranky when talking to me. We mostly talked about tech, so we meshed pretty decently on that, and I'd say you're reasonably knowledgeable about stuff, so that's good. Um... yeah, mostly just the outgoing and friendly! Never too needy or demanding. We didn't click too much, and I don't message you because I don't really know what to talk about, but you seem like a cool guy =)
Truth be told I was mildly put off when you didn't want to go see Star Trek with Chelsea and I. It wasn't just because you weren't going to go, it's because you were going to spend time with your boyfriend instead. I know it's silly and selfish and I should be glad that you figured out what you like and got somebody local, I was just cranky because I figured I was one of the people who helped you out with the first bit of that, and you were brushing us off to go have sexytime with someone else D: But that's just me and my bottled up irrational grumbling.
Umm, but yeah, you're a decent enough guy >o>
And trust me, in retrospect I would have had a much better time at the movie with you guys, rather than with someone who expected to be able to monopolize all of my time. But it's probably some sort of social faux pas to get into that whole ordeal in an open forum so I'll leave it be. Let the record show that I should have spent more time you guys that day.
You're a decent enough guy yourself. Keep in touch, fuzzy. :3
Does Pohners ring a bell?
Hyargnarghnarrr.
We don't exchange a whole lot of comments, but I still have a little bit of a feel for you. In some respects you're like me--not just the mild physical resemblance, but you like to see art of you done by other people. What's better than good artists drawing adorable characters, after all? However, unlike me, you don't seem to be as motivated by porn. The monthly goal pictures you do are very cute though and make you feel a lot more... real? =P
Naaah, I kid. You're a silly cutie who needs to art moar.
Still, I'd appreciate if you would give me your opinion about me (Though we've been only speaking personally in two ocassions) · = ·
Anyways, let me remind you, Hmm...
Remember when you streamed music in ustream.tv? Like 5-6 Months ago? I was in almost every stream you did. I also remember talking to you 1 on 1 and even sending you a link to a re-worked version of a song you had. Pokemon FireRed Champion Battle if my memory serves me right.
I could keep rambling about what I remember, but I think that's more than enough to remind you, isn't it?
Well, hope that helps you in identifying me. · = ·
Just let it be, don't want to bother you knowing you oughta have more important things to do. ^^
Things have changed much since way back then X3
*tips hat* The nefarious Mr. Hart, ever at your service.
Strange. Very strange. Most of the stuff seems to indicate that you like... odd stuff. Like my friends
And you have way too much stuff on the top portion of your page >o> I shouldn't have to scroll down to see your latest journal or featured submission!
As for my art, it's mostly inspired by others but I take all blame for mental scarring. Was there anything in particular you liked or that caught your eye?
(PS. @__@ been soo friggin busy these last few weeks otherwise i would have come over again. I'll get to see you alot more during the school year at least :3)
A) You're a troll. You like to do and say things to get people--me, admins, conservatives, anti-furs, or anyone you disagree with for any reason--worked up. You can be nice, and provide constructive criticism, but you are first and foremost somebody who enjoys getting a rise out of people as you inform them about how wrong they are.
B) You're a nice guy who isn't very good at mocking internet retardation, and therefore you come off as a troll a lot of the time. You're very opinionated and set in your ways, and when you come across people who disagree with those opinions, you don't hesitate to voice your opinions.
Also you're a strange fox who likes hypnosis and fonts and things. You should make a font which hypnotizes people when they read it.
