Most of us are at the hotel, but at this time registration has been close do to technical difficulties. There is not all that much to do at the moment so I am just going to relax, probably wonder around a little and see who I know that is already here.

The real fun begins tomorrow and I am looking forward to seeing how this year turns out.

We should all be heading down tomorrow afternoon to drop our stuff off and get checked in. The room situation is a little iffy at the moment, I mean we have a room for sure but we have a good 6 people now staying together and what kind of room we are going to have available is up in the air.

See those I will see, make sure you give me a hug!

We are right about at the 6 month mark people, which means the hotel block should open soon. I plan to make it as usual, but having some roomies to help with the cost of the hotel would be nice.

I really need a girl I can hold tight and spoil rotten.

Well, back home at least. Got back real late Tuesday night. Not really bothered making a journal till now cause I have been kind of forgetting about FA.

My ride should be here shortly. This is sort of a camp out con int he middle of the woods in central Oregon. I will be gone for a week and leaving laptop behind. I may not be back on till I return home so this is a shout out to all my friends. I will miss everyone while I am away and will let you know soon as I am back. :3 Hugs and kisses.

My apologies ahead of time. I am going to try and not upload stuff too quickly, but still i have quite I plan to upload over the next couple days.

None of the artwork I plan to upload is anything I actually created, they are a combinations of gifts and commissions I paid to have done.

The age range of the artwork will be from 2002 up to current. Obviously I will not be uploading every little scrap and sketch I have gotten, for a variety of reasons. Some of which are personal, the artwork being of a nature I simply do not feel like posting. The only other major reason being that the artwork is portraying characters I have long since retired, or have given up my claims of ownership and they belong to someone else now.

With that, let the fun begin.

Jesus.. okay, I checked my bank account to see where I am at, cause I was curious to get a few additional commissions this month and... yeah, I think I went a bit overboard already. I am not broke or anything, still have plenty to cover my bills and have some left over, but between paying for commissions and a few other things that came up this month, my funds are a lot lower then I usually keep them.

For how much I would really love to get some more art, I think it is best I hold back for awhile. It is not like the artists I want stuff from are going anywhere, but sometimes the windows where they are even taking commissions are short.

Still some art buying in my future, but best I deepen my pockets before I do so again. Still got cons and stuff I need to make sure I have money to get to and all.

See here.

I have always not done this for a reason, but now I see little reason not to and, in fact, see some benefit in doing so. Need to find to go through my folders and gather everything up, double check the artists the work in the first place, then will start uploading the work. Plan to make this a weekend project and more than likely wont get started till then.

I am going to try and not upload too much too fast, since this will cause a small flood.

Got some fresh new art from  Sayame.

Detail on their chibi commissions can be found here. Please check them out.

Not sure why, but oh well.

I really wish I could choose to not see people's journals some days. I really only pay attention to a very select from those I am watching and I watch a lot of people here.

I really miss having someone in my life I can be intimate with on a regular basis. Sure I have few friends here and there willing to cuddle up and maybe RP the few times I pop up online, but the rest of the time I am pretty much without anyone I care for to spend time talking with and getting close.

I am not sure if this is so much me feeling lonely, or just missing something that use to be a normal thing that is gone now. Certainly part of it is being lonely, maybe in a little bored, but I know I am not feeling overly lonely. I mean that as in I think I am fine with being without a mate right now, sure it would be nice to be in a relationship at that level, but really I just miss having someone to talk to through out the day and not just in the few short hours I am online between working and sleeping.

It always helped me get through my day having someone to chat with and to look forward to spending more time with once my day was over. Much as I enjoy talking with those I do get to see in the evening, there are some nights I just do not get on because I would rather just relax that keep up with several conversations at once.

I miss having one that was above all others in my life.

I do apologize to those that like to keep in touch with me, I have not really been online all that much lately. This has nothing to do with not being able to, some desire to step away from the fandom, health issues or some sort of crippling depression. Really it is more like the opposite of all that.

While I do enjoy keeping in touch with those whom I have made friends with here online and in some cases this even helps keep in touch with more local furs, I have found myself just being pre-occupied with other things going on in my life and have felt little need spend endless hours hanging our virtually. I guess another way to put it is that I have been enjoying my first life and have not felt the need, the desire, to substitute human interaction with chat rooms and messages boards.

Beyond spending a little more time with my family and local friends, one of the big reasons I have not been getting online that much is simply because I get busy and do not think about logging on. My work leaves me with very little free time and if I spend it goofing around on the net I find myself not really ever getting things done or doing something productive.

Honestly, those that really wish to keep in touch with me know how to reach me beyond relying me being online. I have said it before and will say it again, I am free to text any time of the day and actually rather enjoy it and if anyone wanted to actually talk talk there are times where I am available.

Seriously not about to leave the fandom any time soon, but I find myself drifting away from the art side of things again. It kinds of saddens me cause I know I meet a lot of great furs through FA and IB and would very much like to keep in touch. One thing is for sure, you will still see me attending a few cons through out the year, hitting up a few regulars and maybe trying some new ones here and there.

Oh well, just kind of felt like getting that off my chest.

Hope you have a good one.

So who out there would like to get some free artwork? Silly question, right?

Please read this whole journal so you will understand how this is going to work.

I plan to start sponsoring a select few art commissions every month. How many I can offer a will be determined by the cost of the individual pieces. There are some stipulations,of course, one if which is that commission is that it must involve one of my listed characters in some way or another. Second is that there are a couple subject matters that are simply off limits, so do not even ask about a commission involving, scat, gore, hard-core vore, hyper, diaper, inflation, or extreme body types. What I mean by extreme body types are things like being ridiculously overly muscular, or so overweight the character looks like a blob. There are a few other things I am not that keen on, but these are the biggest ones on my no list to mention, just about anything else is okay or I am at least opened minded about.

For the artists out there, please let me know if any of my characters catch your fancy. I have been wanting to get more artwork as of late, but not have been lacking in the idea department. If you feel any inspiration how how you like to use my girls and boys, just let me know. Just so it is said, this is not me asking for gift art, I fully intend to pay for any artwork done.

Please understand that I can only take so many slots per month, no one is guaranteed a spot on the list, this is not first come first serve and yes I will more than likely be bias towards my friends and those I know/like.For those interested, please shoot me a PM with what you have in mind and also do help spread the word about what I am doing.

Thank you and have a good day.

What did you get me? >:3

With my original plans for the year knocked a bit off-kilter, I think it is about time I took at look at what cons I might potentially be able to make it to before the end of the year.

The next up-coming con I might be able to would be Califur, in June. There is a chance I could get time off for this, but there is also a chance I might not. Before I try I would like to know if anyone out there I know is even going to this con. I hear good things, but I don't really want to attend a con all by my lonesome. If I have any friends going that would enjoy seeing me there, let me know, I will inquire with my manager about getting the time off. If I don't hear from anyone I know I will more than likely just pass this one by and re-consider the options for next year.

After CaliFur there is Campfire Tails held in my home state come August. I know a great deal of the folks going to this and I already know I could get the time off to attend if I asked, but I am still on the fence whether or not I even want to go.

Then there is Rainfurrest, this con I am already all set to go so those that know me you can expect to see me there as usual.

There was some pondering to try and make a return to MFF this year, a con I have been to before and enjoyed but not been able to make my way back. I know there are some folks that would enjoy seeing me, but I am sorry to say that I am going to have to strike this con off my list.

That covers this year, as for next year I am seriously considering trying to actually attend FC. Never been, but have had people trying to get me to go for years. It might just be time to see what all the fuss is about.

Whether or not FC is a go, I am pretty sure I will be making my way back to FWA next year.

Anyone going to any of these cons, let me know, always looking for some people that need a room to crash in.

I am plotting something and if it works out, it should be pretty epic.

More details to come once I have worked them out.

I really do feel like I am slowly loosing my mind.

Don't want to dump a lot of personal and emo crap here on people, but I am very much not in the best of emotional states at the moment.

If I could only focus my thoughts...

And you move on.
