Because I can't sleep

*Are you a furry?*
Furry-ish. I'm more of a creative person with a very overactive imagination that lives in his own special little made of world, so any kind of community that adds a little bit of fantasy to normal everyday human life is always fun to be part of. You know... kind of like Dr. Steel.
*If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
I have no spouse, but the person I'm in a semi-relationship with is a furry yes. Generally, I'm not actively looking for a Furry when it comes to a mate but I'd like them to either be open to the idea/easily corruptible into the fandom or at least tolerant of the community.
*How long have you been in the community?
I guess it's been a year or so now.
*How did you find furry?
I admit that originally I was drawn to the Furry community because I really liked the porn. There's something about gay furry porn that is so much more enjoyable to look at than normal yaoi, however I never really became active in the community itself until my friend, Tahnee, started becoming active in it. I'd be interested in furries for a long time, but had no idea how to become part of it, she was a good "excuse" to join.
*What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
Originally it was the porn, and while I still do enjoy it, I also like art in general. I've always liked art, I'm jealous of anyone who can draw with some talent, as it's the one skill I've always wanted. The community also is fun to me, I like the openness that runs through it.
*What's Furry to you?
1 part Imagination and 1 part creative talent mixed well with a large batch of sexual confusion
*If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
Depends on what they were asking.. O.o
*What are your favorite aspects of our community?
The community in general, they're fun.
*Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
Just in jokes
*What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
Some of the more illegal sexual acts such as child rape and bestiality, though even then I find those people more interesting than disgusting because I'd like to find out why they are who they are.
*How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
People have a misconception of the Furry community which is both their fault for being shortsighted and at the same time the community's fault for being attention whores online at times. While that's a gross generalization, the kinds of furries who flip out on people because they don't believe furries are their cup of tea only hurts the community as much as the people who think the entire community is nothing by gay guys having sex with animals while pretending to be one.
*How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
It's bound to happen eventually, to each is own. There's a lot of things about me one can easily bash me on, meh.
*We all know furries have a lot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
I can be a very touchy feely person, and while I'm not going to have sex with random people I meet or go overboard in public places, I do enjoy the openness people have about sex.
Personal
*What is/are your fursona(s)?
A Jaguar
*Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
Not.. really? I'm not a fur suit sex, yiffing kind of person but animalistic behavior in bed can be fun.
*If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
Perhaps, though I'd probably rather be a catboy or a girl.
*Do you believe you have a spirit animal?
Perhaps. I know I've always loved Jaguars and large cats in general since I was a very small child and I couldn't tell you WHY I ever liked them to begin with. I think a lot of people recognize with animals or some type of creature.
*What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
Video Games, World of Warcraft, and Anime to a lesser extent
*Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
I recognize with both Anthro and Kemonomini. My fursona is an anthro, but I dislike wearing fursuits so I dress up as a human with cat ears and a tail, I think it's much, much more sexier.
*Are you a fursuiter? If yes, how many do you own? If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
Nope. I don't really like wearing Fursuits. That's not to say I don't like fursuits in general, I think the people who can design and make those things are very talent people and can appreciate a finely crafted outfit. They just aren't my thing.
*How many of your friends are furry?
I've made a few, and slowly I find them growing
*How many pets do you own, if any?
I don't own any pets.
*Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
Video Games, writing, music, drink mixing, movies
*Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
I guess so
Meetups
*Do you attend any cons? If no, would you attend any cons? If yes, which cons have you been to?
Nope, but one day I would like to go to some
*Do you go to local meetups(bowling, public outings...etc)?
Nope, never been invited to one. I'd go though if I could.
*Have you ever attended a furry party? If no, would you attend one?
Yes, I go to one party that happens once a month.
Online
*Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?
Most furs I know I've met in real life, then later on found online.
*What furry websites do you attend?
FA, I also had an account on Pounced and Furspace but I hardly ever use it
*What non furry websites do you frequent?
A lot
*Has the fandom done anything for you that you're thankful for? Has it taught you anything or brought you anything you treasure greatly?
It has made life a tad bit more exciting, and I like having another community I can mingle around it and find friends I probably would have never met otherwise. One major thing I like about Furries is big hot spot for the GLBT community, so it's nice to be part of something who have similar sexualities and mindsets as I do.

I agree. With...pretty much everything, love.
