OMG I finally put up a journal!!!
16 years ago
*Are you furry?
yep
*If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
I don't have one currently >.>
*How long have you been in the community?
about 6 years
*How did you find furry?
I first heard about it from the MTV thing, which turned me off at first, but it struck enough of a cord that I went onto the internet and found out the truth.
*What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
I have a strong affinity for anthropomorphic animals, and have a strong sentiment for cheetahs
*What's Furry to you?
there are tons of definitions, but the only one that covers them all is liking anthropomorphic animal in some way shape, or fashion
*If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
I'd explain about the different groups within the fandom as a whole, and explain my particular reasons for liking it
*What are your favorite aspects of our community?
how accepting it is on the whole.
*Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
I use yiff, since it's definition is unique and not just a replacement for another word, because yiff means furry porn, it's a easier way to say it.. I use paws and other animal terms only when necessary. I don't say paws if I'm talking about my own hands, but if describing my fursona I would say paws.
*What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
I wish it wasn't associated with certain fetishes, which I won't list.
*How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
I dislike it the say way I dislike all forms of prejudice. You can't judge anyone until you get to know them at least a little
*How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
I've never had it happen to me, but I know that it would hurt
*We all know furries have a lot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
I think sexuality has a part in everything humans do, because it's completely ingrained in us. Most everything has some sort of sexual aspect to it. This includes the furry fandom, and I don't think that's a bad thing, and I don't think that anyone should deny that it is there. The problem comes with the furs who A:have the oddest fetishes B:are 90% part of the fandom for that fetish, and C: are very vocal about it. I think anyone in the fandom just for the sexual aspect is giving the rest of us a bad name. I'm not saying that sexuality isn't a part of the fandom, I'm just saying it shouldn't be the be-all and end-all reason you're a part, and like all porn, should only be discussed openly with friends and significant others. Anyone who's talking loudly and openly about their pornagraphy habits to anyone who's listening should be considered with a grain of salt when judging the groups they are a part of.
Personal
*What is/are your fursona(s)?
a cheetah
*Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
that's only for my friends or significant others to know
*If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
I would definitely have to try it if it was temporary thing. If it was a permanent one way deal, I'd have to give it a lot of thought first, but I lean towards yes.
*Do you believe you have a spirit animal?
I have a quasi totemic belief that the cheetah conceptually represents both aspects of myself that I do have, and also aspects of myself I I desire to have. (I hope that makes sense, and I'm sorry for all the ten dollar words, but I put it as best I could v.v)
*What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
I'm a nerd in general, a comic book fan, a Transformers fan. a Kamen Rider fan, a toy collector(anti-plastic prison), and animation fan, and I think that's it off the top of my head.
*Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
I'm not going to answer this one because I don't feel comfortable with a lot of those terms. refer back to the 'spirit animal' question
*Are you a fursuiter? If yes, how many do you own? If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
not yet, but as soon as I get the money
*How many of your friends are furry?
I'm not gonna count, so 'a bunch'
*How many pets do you own, if any?
one, a dachshund
*Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
I guess just refer back to the 'What other fanbases/groups' question
*Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
not entirely yet. it's something that I don't hide, but I don't tell anyone either.
Meetups
*Do you attend any cons? If no, would you attend any cons? If yes, which cons have you been to?
yes, I've been to furloween, and my super awesome group Cat 5 hosted a furry room at Chibipaw
*Do you go to local meetups(bowling, public outings...etc)?
yes, my super awesome group Cat 5 has meetings weekly, which are both super and awesome. AT THE SAME TIME!! :O
*Have you ever attended a furry party? If no, would you attend one?
Online
*Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?
yeah, a few
*What furry websites do you attend?
I dunno, a lot
*What non furry websites do you frequent?
jees, if I told you that I'd be typing all day D:
*Has the fandom done anything for you that you're thankful for? Has it taught you anything or brought you anything you treasure greatly?
Oh yeah, being a fur opened up a whole other side of my self to me. It's also forged great friendships which I absolutely cherish. <3 to all my furry friends!
