Probably my last FA Journal
Posted 2 years agoI know I've been completely dead on FA lately, so, as you may have noticed, I've removed my gallery and saved everything to my personal drive, since I don't plan on continuing to use it, for one reason or another. This has nothing to do with the new FA policy I've heard about, but I just...wanted to clean things up, as it were. Nowadays, I'm active on Discord and less so Telegram, feel free to get in touch with me there. I might continue to lurk around here and there, but I do not plan on using FA very much anymore, as it may be obvious to some.
I wish all of you the very best, and I'm sorry I've not kept in touch. Life has just been too stressful of late.

An update as to what is going on.
Posted 12 years agoI feel I should update you fine folks as to my current situation.
Presently, I am without a personal computer, something in it exploded and I have no means nor money to get it fixed. So, basically, I am stuck with using my ancient laptop or my iPad, neither of which are very reliable for communication either.
On top of that, my parents spontaneously decided to sign me up for extra college classes to further my degree on top of working a full time job. So, with little time and little means of communication, I have been out of the loop for a while. I wish all the best for my friends and family, and ask only patience until I can return.
As of now, most of my hard earned money is going to rent and loan payments, so I have been hard pressed to get anything on my computer done. I'm hoping I can get replacement parts for Christmas, but that's about my best option at this point.
And, to finish off this pleasant discussion I have going here, my remaining grandparents are growing very sickly, and has been worrying me so. Again, I'll get past this, I just need to ask for patience for my return.
Be well, all of you.
Best wishes and regards,
Amun

Another Temporary Update
Posted 12 years agoYes, I'm still alive, for one thing, I'm just so busy with everything that I haven't had much time to do anything at all.
I am, however, poised to get my degree in May, and maybe finally put these shenanigans behind me once and for all.
See you horny bastards in May!

Temporary Update
Posted 13 years agoStill here, I guess, and still working hard. I'll be able to get a slight reprieve once the semester is over at the beginning of December, but work will be kicking up due to the holidays, other than that, I'm used to the abuse, and hoping the best for my friends and family.
Continue to be well~

Current Woes and a Slight Rant
Posted 13 years agoLife has been a veritable roller-coaster for me, but within these past months, said roller coaster has gone well off the deep end.
For the most part, however, I am still in stable condition, both physically and mentally, just that life at this point is dealing so fast that I'm frantic to keep up with everything.
First: Work. Work, as I've probably mentioned before, suck eggs, at least this particular job. What's more, suddenly, I find myself with even more hours that are threatening to even burrow into my school-time and fester like a terminal disease.
Second: School. I'm trying desperately to finish my schooling, which means I'm spending a large part of my free time studying, practicing, and doing homework. I'm a beginning programmer, and working with various code tends to be quite a harrowing experience, like corralling wild beasts that are all trying to escape and spread apart.
Thirdly: Free time. Whatever's left of my free-time, if anything, is spent with the pair of folks that have kept a roof over my head for the last 27 years, and I can't exactly say no to them, lest I want that roof to go flying away, and be cut off from the internet entirely.
So, in summary, the low-down of my time is spent as follows:
Work: 35-40 hours per week.
School: 15 hours per week of class time, and 30+ for studying/homework/etc.
Sleep: 5-8 hours a day, making 35-56 hours a week, depending on the situation.
Free time: 2-3 hours a day with the folks at home, equaling 14-21 hours a week doing that.
Total: Up to 162 of my 168 hours in the week devoted. Not counting the time it takes me to eat, and occasionally I have to find the time to go to the gym as well. So, my life has been pretty well booked, and probably will continue to be until I get my degree. So, that's why I haven't been on a whole lot lately, if at all. I apologize to my friends and family for this, but my education and keeping a roof over my head take priority over internet time.
Be well, all of you, and I'll see you later.

Scheduling
Posted 13 years agoSchool starts tomorrow, my b-day is on Wednesday, and things are just a big jumble in my head. @.@ Because of this, I'm probably going to take a while to get things straightened out in my life, which means internet time will be even further reduced to extra study time. Sorry to disappoint..
27 in three days..whoo~
27 in three days..whoo~
A few things of note.
Posted 13 years agoThere's been a lot going on in my life of late, so my head is swimming. But I'll try to sort things out as well as I can.
1) School - I'm only a year away from getting my degree, and probably getting kicked out of my folks' place finally, so that might hinder my online time should it come to that. The next semester is going to be starting shortly, like at the end of the month.
2) Work - Walmart is a bit bitchy pain in the ass to work in, most of the time I'm not even doing the job I've been assigned, because the place is such a pennypinching mess that I'm getting pulled all over the store at my badass minimum wage. Well, I'll be getting out of there once I start my internship.
3) Vacation - I will be taking a week-long vacation starting this Saturday, I don't know of the place I'm staying at will have internet access, but chances are I won't be getting on much either way, since I'll be enjoying my time off. So, just a fore-warning.
4) Birthday - My birthday is coming up. Aug. 29th, for those that don't know. I expect to be showered with gifts on that day, otherwise, I will be sorely disappoint! <3 (JustkiddingI'mnotexpectingmuchofanythinglolcry)
So, that's what's going on in my life of late, hopefully things will be smoothing out once I get my diploma, and I won't be *quite* as stressed for time.
Anyways, tis bedtime for me, nightnight!

Furry Drama
Posted 13 years agoThis took a year to boil over, but apparently my old mawshot pic was too similar to anothers', and so I find myself slapped with an art thief label.
The artist and I took down those submissions and I changed my avatar to prevent further drama from ensuing. Sorry to those that faved it, but it was necessary.
And those that wish to continue the drama will find themselves blocked without warning.
That is all.

Feh
Posted 13 years agoI feel like such a putz.
I know why too.
I know why too.
Oh, but it's not over yet.
Posted 13 years agoOn top of work, I have a ton of work to do around the house to boot, being a 'new' house, relatively speaking, I'm been keeping pretty damn busy over the summer, and it's not going to stop any-time soon, even on my days off I'm sweating my balls off.
I expect a few more weeks of this treatment before I get some smidge of a break. x.x
For now, I'm going to sleep in a little. x.x;

And with that...
Posted 13 years agoI have finished the longest working streak I have ever done. Seven long days of work in a row, 55 hours.
Also, on that note, I'd like to apologize for not being on a whole lot lately to my friends and family, RL is getting to be a pain and I likely will be continuing a similar trend until I graduate from college and find a more stable job.
On another note...*Flopsnore* =.=

Movin' and Groovin'
Posted 14 years agoAs it turns out, I'll be moving on Friday, moving into town so my commute to work and school will be significantly reduced. The place will be mostly occupied by me and my father, since my mother works from home anyways. Someone has to stay here until this place sells...which doesn't look like anytime soon, being that it's been on the market for almost three months now and no one's even looked at it.
Oh well.
And on that note, I won't have internet right away, Father is looking to get it set up at the new place as soon as possible, but as of right now, I have no idea when that'll be. @.@

Big side of Roast Angus Beef (Rant!)
Posted 14 years agoThe last couple weeks have been rough for me. I won't get into this long rant over it, but I do need to get this off my chest.
I have finals next week, as well as having to take two exams this week before. I also work.

Friday, December 2:
Wake up at 7 AM.

7 AM - 2 PM: Was about to go study when mother asks that I get some groceries at a particular store about a half-hour drive from here, and also to take the dog and take him for a walk at the park 20 minutes in the other direction.
Drive to work at 2:30 to work from 4 - 9 PM. Home at 10 and fall right to sleep.
Saturday, December 3
Work from 11 AM to 7 PM. Also notice that it is the same for Sunday and Monday.
Work adamantly to get time off on Monday for studying, unable to get a hold of managers.
Bed at 9:30.

Work from 11 AM to 7 PM. Again work adamantly to get a hold of someone to give me some time off. Again nobody is available.
Bed at 9:30.

's Questions.
1. What's your favourite frozen treat? Chocolate-covered cherry Blizzards from Dairy Queen.
2. Snow. What is your first thought? AARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHH AS;FHASDJFHLWKJFEQLFEHUOSFH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111ELEVENONEONE
3. If I was trapped in a home because it got snowed in with ten feet of snow, would you come to get me out? You? Trapped by snow? Please, Ghosty, you'd be outside rolling around in the evil stuff as it was coming down.
4. Um...what is your favourite meal? You. =9
Vore jokes aside, I'd have to say I'm torn between slow-cooked ribs or home-made calzones.
5. Is there something special you do on Halloween? Haven't done anything special for Halloween since middle school, I'm kinda burnt out on candy. ._.
6. Do you remember what happened when you first met me? Gosh, that was a long time ago, can't really say I remember either. ._.
7. You've been asked to invent a new flavour of pop, what would you make? Jones' Soda has done all the ones I really care about, but if I had to choose, I'd have to say Cran-Grape.
8. Has anything scared you to the point of shaking and feeling your heart pound? Only once in my life I've had that happen, and that was the car accident I was in that wrecked my old Monte Carlo.
This old granny came right out of nowhere in the left lane I was in, because she thought I was turning left at that intersection. Needless to say, I tried to swerve, but ended up with my face in an airbag.
9. Can I eat you? Not on your life, buster. o.o
10. Is there somewhere you'd like to visit? Everywhere my family is, of course. o-o

2: Have you seen my left sock? You left it in the dryer.
3: If Carmen Sandiego and Waldo had a baby, where would it be born? In the Netherrealm of Impossible-to-find Characters.
4: Does this journal make me look fat? You're fat anyways.
5: Can I have a cookie? Raspberry Cheesecake or Triple Chocolate Fudge?
6: Would you go give Heretic a nice big smooch for me? I'd rather eat him.
7: Ferrets or Fennecs? Both are cute, hard to say.
8: What was question 8 again? Why aren't you in my belly yet?

Road Construction Part Deux
Posted 14 years agohttp://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2531954/ for the last journal relative to the topic.
Lately I was griping about how inept this little bit of construction is, since it's on a bridge and bottlenecking into one lane each side of the interstate. What's more, is that now they won't seem to be finished until the middle of October. Well, being the curious little interloper, I decided to take a look myself while on my way home from work one night to see how they're progressing. Only to find that they've progressed about two feet on a 1000 foot bridge in about a week and a half. What's more, every time I drive by, those nitwits are on a coffee break. That's every time I drive home from work.
I realize it's hot out there, and I realize that not every last construction worker is a lazy joke, but COME ON. I don't know what these people have planned, but they're certainly taking their time with this, probably 'making sure they get it right', since it *is* over a bridge and all.
I just wish they weren't on breaks every time I drive by, makes for a sorry impression on the general public. Though next thing you know, they'll start having people stand around with those portable Stop/Slow signs and cause even more traffic.
Speaking of traffic, when I came home the other day, the traffic at ELEVEN PM was backed up all the way to the exit that I get off on. I had to take an alternate route home if I didn't want to stay in traffic for two hours after. And that's about fifteen miles worth of three lane interstate backed up, just for reference.

Lately I was griping about how inept this little bit of construction is, since it's on a bridge and bottlenecking into one lane each side of the interstate. What's more, is that now they won't seem to be finished until the middle of October. Well, being the curious little interloper, I decided to take a look myself while on my way home from work one night to see how they're progressing. Only to find that they've progressed about two feet on a 1000 foot bridge in about a week and a half. What's more, every time I drive by, those nitwits are on a coffee break. That's every time I drive home from work.

Road Construction (Semi-Rant)
Posted 14 years agoThat's right, the semi-necessary standpoint to keep our roads healthy and drivable, but at the same time, it also has been the veritable bane of my existence every time I get behind the wheel.
Nine times out of ten that I see construction work being done, it proceeds to lengthen the time I'm out on the road by 50-100% or more, which I actually dislike driving to begin with. (That's another rant altogether.) And equally, whenever I drive through said site, the 'workers' are usually just standing around waving stop signs around and taking coffee breaks.
Needless to say, there is a rather big bout of construction taking place on a bridge on an interstate that is enroute to my workplace. Both sides have only one drivable lane and of course it causes a huge bottlenecking traffic jam down 10-15 miles either side of the interstate during rush hour.
Each time I pass through this site, I see these construction workers sitting on their asses doing jack squat, and they're supposed to be doing this through October.
So the other day I try going through alternate routes that I know of to get through to work and back, only to find that they're even more clogged than the interstate, what's normally taking 30 minutes is taking 90+ nowadays, and I have to endure this for three months?
No offense to any FA goers who happen to work construction, because I know not all workers are lazy slobs. (I should know, I worked construction for a year myself.) I have nothing against the industry or the like, I just get really upset when I see such inconveniences to just about everyone trying to make a commute, not only the fact that the journey is even more hair raising than usual.
I apologize again, I just had to get that off my chest.

Vore Meme (Informative!)
Posted 14 years ago---
What do you prefer?
---
1: Soft/hard/Cv/soul/unbirth/anal vore?
Soft, thirteen different methods of soft, no hard, and maybe soul. Depends on my mood, but I tend to be absorbent for the most part.
---
2: Feet first or Head(typo) first?
Personally I'm fond of feet first, having others watch themselves slip into me is just divine~
---
3: Mammals, birds, reptiles, or other?
Doesn't matter, food is food. =V
---
4: Pred or Prey?
Pred, 100% bona-fide pred.
---
5: Unwilling or willing?
Mood dependent... but I lean a lot towards willing.
---
6: loving or nonloving (just eating to eat, or for the joy of it)
Either. Both. Usually prefer it if both parties enjoy themselves.
---
7: Digestion?
I usually go through with my unique methods of digestion (More than one), but I can just as easily endo someone, usually in my womb. (Already have two permanent tenants)
---
8: Fatal or nonfatal?
Either way, I can bring them back or splort them out.
---
9: Dark or lighthearted?
Mostly lighthearted, but I can be dark if I'm in the proper mood.
---
10: Same size, micro, or macro?
Same-sized preferably, but I've always enjoyed being a smaller pred also.
---
Short answer
---
1: Can you reform your prey? If so, how do you do it? If you are a prey, only, write something TOTALLY random, or disregard.
Oh, yes, being a demonic entity, magical reformation is usually what I do, but I've adopted a little spiel wherein I can reform my prey through hyper gestation in my womb, transformed or no is up to debate.
---
2: Do you like pure preds? Are you one? If not, why?
Yes, because I am one. I have a psychological issue with being placed in a subordinate position that leads me to become enraged if put in such a position, except in rare exceptions.
---
3: Does your pred/prey have powers? what are they if yes? (If no powers, then how do they fight/defend?)
Magical abilities, shapeshifting, gendershifting, liquidmorph abilities, as well as some physical attributes, as well as a godmod killer.
---
4: What does your pred think of willing prey? If your char is prey, are they willing or nonwilling?
I absolutely adore willing prey, because I love it when both parties enjoy the situation, vorish and/or sexual.
---
5: Your prey starts begging you not to eat them! How does the predator react? (If you are prey, disregard or write something random.)
Depends on the situation, I have ways to cool off a struggling meal, primarily through physical contact with my innards. If not, I just ignore them.
---
6: What does your pred prefer to eat? (fave foods) If your char is prey, tell us if you have a predator preference (macro, macro mammal, dragon, ect.)
Anything and everything, sometimes I even eat inanimate objects just for the hell of it.
---
7: Is your pred competitive with any other predator? If your char is prey, do they have contests of who can get eaten the most?
I tend to look down on competition as a whole, so I usually avoid those sorts of situations whenever I can.
---
8: What sort of prey does your pred hate the most? (taste wise) If your char is prey, then tell us if they are afraid of any kind of pred.
I have little to no taste buds, so this question is irrelevant.
---
9: What is your pred's holding capacity? (how much can they eat?)
My capacity is virtually limitless due to my being a liquid based entity, the largest I've ever eaten thusfar was a dragon spanning well over 100 feet in length, and he was a willing fellow to boot.
---
10: Now tag a few people!
