Furry Meme
16 years ago
*Are you a furry?
Well, duh :P
*If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
Hehe, yes and yes (not married though).
*How long have you been in the community?
For about 5.5 years
*How did you find furry?
Dr. Comet's website
*What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
Well, it was initially the pron ^_^; A random search for catgirl hentai landed me in Dr. Comet's website and it was the beginning of the end from there :P
*What's Furry to you?
Ultimately, it's what you make of it. Personally, for me, it's a great community to meet people with similar interests. Despite it's shortcomings, it's a fun community that still has great amounts of potential (just don't yourselves so seriously guys! We're weird, except that fact and all is good :P)
*If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
Well, I'd say "Yeah, I am" and then proceed to use the more neutral and generic explanations for what furry is (i.e. it's a community of people who are fans of anthropomorphic animals).
*What are your favorite aspects of our community?
All the little silly terms we use, the potential for making jokes, how easy it is to make friends.
*Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
During the first 2 years, I didn't, but it's one of those things where terms latch onto your lexicon. So I have, but not seriously, I usually use them only in furry contexts or as a joke (what's your murrrsona's name? :P)
*What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
The scummy people who, because they are rejected by all other fandoms for being total creeps, think they'll just identify as furry since there's no where else for them to go.
*How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
Eh, I may not like it, but I don't take it personally. It's usually because they believe what the media tells them, and generally those people aren't worth wasting my breath on explaining the truth. Otherwise, I also don't see why furries care so much about being excepted by mainstream culture. If they think we're freaks, so what? Let them be retarded.
*How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
Heh, I think I already answered this. I couldn't care less.
*We all know furries have alot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
Hehe, it's all good. There's plenty of clean art out there for those who don't like the sexual parts of the fandom, so people who make a big deal about it are just being drama queens.
Personal
*What is/are your fursona(s)?
A ferret/Black Mamba hybrid named Khris Kazeras
*Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
Oh yeah.
*If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
Hell yes :P
*Do you believe you have a spirit animal?
- If Yes, Is that spirit animal your fursona(if not what is it?)
No
*What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
None, really.
*Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
Anthro's good enough for me
*Are you a fursuiter?
If yes, How many do you own?
If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
No, but someday I'd like to give it a shot. It looks fun, to be honest.
*How many of your friends are furry?
A good percentage of them
*How many pets do you own, if any?
Two dogs
*Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
Writing, music, friends, school, RPing (interested in paper-pencil ones too), video games, science, tech
*Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
Yup, as I've said before, I don't care for what the media has to say
Meetups
*Do you attend any cons?
If no, would you attend any cons?
If yes, which cons have you been to?
Not yet, but I'll be going to MFM 2010 for sure.
*Do you go to local meetups(bowling, public outings...etc)?
Nope, unfortunately I don't have time to meet up with the local group.
*Have you ever attended a furry party?
-If no, would you attend one?
No, but I'd like to. We'd all get into a furpile and have sex in our murrsuits for a random reporter that walks through the door :P (god, I can't believe I just said that, even if it is a joke x3).
Online
*Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?

Fark, Metropolis Records, RantRadio, various band websites (most notably Velvet Acid Christ's for updates on his new album)
And last, but not least

Oh, it has done, taught, and brought me many many great things. :D

Great to know from you also (this is a response to other journals as well), hope to see you again soon on IM.
But yes, I hope to be on IM more often after October. School is just keeping me busy.
