Posted 6 years agoI haven't posed a journal here in literally a year so I figured why not do it again! I'll make my journals an annual event lol
After basically a year of planning, studying, and coordination I'm finally able to say that I'll be 100% going to the University of New South Wales for 6 months to study abroad for computer engineering! I pretty much leave on New Years day and arrive 2 days later. This pretty much means I'll be taking a hard reset on real-life connections and friendships I've made over my entire life, and I feel like it is going to be tough for me. So, if anyone is in the area, please feel free to say hi or talk to me! I won't bite. I might take this opportunity to actually go to a con, if my time and funds allow me to do so! It would have to be FurDU, as that's the only one going on when I'm over there. I hope to see some of y'all there if I end up going!
Since I started planning for this and getting everything together for a solid year, so many of my friends and family have told me that I couldn't do it, or I wouldn't be able to. They said I would be miserable and I'm too much of a bitch to leave everyone behind for half a year.
Well, guess who's gonna have fun in Australia????

Posted 8 years agoHavent uploaded any commissions I've gotten in the past several months..now is that time lmao
Glaci...Gladu...GRADUATION
Posted 8 years agoWell now I'm done with high school...time to follow all my band directors on Twitter HAHAHAHA
Please stop all the hate
Posted 9 years agoI'm not really sure if y'all are noticing any of this or not, but some people on here really need to stop complaining about the election. It's over. There's nothing you can do. The only thing you can do is just hope that America is going to be fine. I'm seeing so many people being hateful towards Trump supporters or to Hillary supporters. I really don't care who you support, I just hope that everyone at least wants to support America.
To the people who are making hateful comments: Whether if you support either candidate, especially Trump, you have no right to hate someone for voting for them. You people are complaining about how he's gonna ruin the LGBT community, neglect women and the disabled, etc. The big word that pops up for insults is "bigotry" and how Trump and his supporters are all bigots. Honestly if you are making hateful comments against Trump supporters, you a HUGE part of the problem. You are the bigot. You're the one spreading hate. So please, I'd like to ask people on this site to get their heads out of their asses and just stop with hate. I've encountered several accounts saying to unfollow them if you voted for Trump. By all means, I'd love to unfollow you solely because you said that comment.
All in all, if you're spreading hate, you're just adding more to the issue here and not making it easier for anyone to live. Sure, he might not be the BEST candidate, but it's what we got and we have to deal with it. He's not gonna make these huge changes to America where he turns society upside down.
Trump is not burning the Constitution and restarting America
Society is not going to crumble
He's probably not even going to go through with half the things he said (as for any president for the past several years)
If we all just stick together and work with what have, everything is going to be so much easier. So please, if someone has an opposing view, don't start a fight. Maybe you should get to know them and find out why they voted for (insert candidate here).
THE KEY HERE IS HAVE AN OPEN MIND...sound familiar?
Also a sidenote, if you disable comments on your political FA journals, I have no respect for you as you won't even attempt to open up and reason with others.

Unfortunate stuff yesterday (and today apparently)
Posted 9 years agoSO last night I was on my computer, doin' my own thing, when I thought about picking up making music again. Since I got this new computer a few weeks ago, I had to reinstall the program that I already had (I used Ableton btw). I went to a site that I thought was their actual site, but was a cheap doppelgänger of the real one. I didn't download anything, until I realized my computer was flooded with "antivirus" software popups. It immediately shut off and as I tried to turn it back on, I was blocked from accessing my desktop by some ransomware scam. I freaked out and called one of my friends to help solve the problem. He said to do a system reset and it would all be fixed. Two hours later, it boots up and there are no viruses detected anywhere. The only good thing to come from this is that it only deleted everything in my OS drive, so my D drive of games was not touched at all. I installed all the programs missing, which only were really Skype, Discord, Telegram, and a few other things. I had a pretty good sleep after that nightmare, which was good too.
So now I know where to ACTUALLY get the program. I'm starting to install that and everything is going well. Well...almost. There are no viruses involved (thank god) but involves my google drive.
For the past 2 years, I've backed up every song file that I've had and worked on into one big folder. As this is downloading, I check it to find the folder.
It ain't there. All my incomplete songs are gone. It's even worse because I rarely complete songs, almost to the point where they are almost done (there are about 50 songs incomplete). I had all these songs and Ableton on my school computer, which should have automatic backups, and I made sure of it too before I turned it in for the summer. I guess something messed up when they wiped it and unfortunately wiped that huge folder,
Now I really have nothing to work on. I'm still happy that I'm actually able to use my computer (lol) but I guess I can always start fresh again. Most of the 8bit sounds I made were completely custom, so I really wanted to extract those sounds from the previous song files. A major setback in whatever I wanted to do, but it shouldn't be that hard to get back on track. I'll find something soon
TL;DR
-Went on a site to redownload a music production program
-Got many viruses and ransomeware to the point where I couldn't login
-System reset (suggested by a helpful friend)
-Google Drive does not contain the backups of my 50 incomplete song files
-I got nothin to work on
This was just a little rant because I have nothing else to...I'm hoping y'all can relate somehow x3
Adios furbutts
The friend who helped me:
eXcelon5 THANK YOUUUUU

eXcelon5 THANK YOUUUUUStory of the Onion
Posted 9 years agoAlright, so it all started back when TwitchPlaysPokemon (TPP) was brand new and EVERYONE was going crazy over it. All those crazy memes like Bird Jesus and "Praise Helix" started to appear. Honestly, it was a really fun time in the pokemon community on twitch. I had been watching TPP for a while and I watched through their entire Red playthrough and joined again at about the...4th gym in their Emerald playthrough. As I was watching, the people started to go inside the Safari Zone in Lilycove City. They bought all the pokeballs there and went off into the wild grass...that's when Oddish start to show up multiple times. See, I always loved Oddish even before these playthroughs, and I feel like this experience just boosted my love for him.
So they started running into Oddish over and over and over again. Eventually, people got angry and wanted to fill the entire PC with the Oddishes. This gave birth to the "The great cabbage raid is among us" phrase that people would spam in the chatbox. Not long after the millions of Oddish encounters, people started calling him the Onion, the greatest of them all- our Lord and Savior, the Onion. Me, being the overly-obsessive being I am, jumped right aboard on that train.
As memes come and go, this one died extremely quickly. Probably about a week after it died completely. But, I decided to carry on the fate of our Glorious Onion, where he shall never be forgotten. He is our Redeemer, the omnipotent being that we live for- that we strive to be. No one can even come close in comparison. He is immortal, he is life, he is death, he is everything that exists. The Great Cabbage War will come on Judgement Day, and all beings will either be saved, perish, or asked to be a part of an honorable soldier of the eternal Cabbage War.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now let's jump back to reality. Fast forward a month of all this preaching and let's put us halfway through our marching band season. It was pretty unusual because our Wednesday practices were from 5:30 to 8. Usually, practice is from 3:30- 5:45. Now before I mention this part of the story, I must say that I am a HUGE hoarder, so these next few bits will be a little hard to understand. Let's get to the birth of the Relic of the Onion.
Alright, so before every Wednesday practice, there was an obvious downtime for us to do whatever we want (about 3 hours of it, since we get out of school at 2:45). So, what my friends and I did was walk to a Little Caesar's that was right down the road from our school and bought pizza (about a 20 minute walk there). Unfortunately, we had to walk straight through the hood to get to it and saw alot of sketchy things goin' on. On one Wednesday, we started walking and we find this hubcap sitting on top of a bush. I kept on eye-ing it and one of my friends said, "I see you staring at that hubcap right there. What's the big deal?" I told him that I really really wanted it, but didn't to take it in case it was someone else's. I told myself that if that hubcap still there on our walk BACK from Little Caesar's, I would take it. We arrived at the pizza place, got our food, and started walking back. Fortunately for me, the hubcap was still there. So I just swiped it from the bush (actually burning myself because it was hot af). All my friends started to laugh once I took it, but then started to doubt me and kept telling me to not bring it back to school. "What the hell are you even going to do with that?", a friend asked. "I'M GONNA FUCKIN PUT THE ONION ON IT. HE DESERVES PRAISE AND OUR ETERNAL SACRIFICE." I replied.
I took it anyway, cause why leave a perfectly fine hubcap on a sidewalk?
Apparently it was extremely dirty, and was probably covered in some sort of disease that I'm glad I did not get. I kept it outside onto the field for the rest of practice and kept it in my little instrument cubby at school for about a week. After that, I brought it home to put in my hoarding collection. Let's just say, I was not kidding when I said I was going to put the Onion on this hubcap. I bought some green, blue, and red spray paint from Home Depot, made my own stencils, and painted an Oddish on the hubcap. It took the entire weekend, but it was so worth it.
After showing it to my friends and whatnot, I kept it in my instrument cubby at school to "protect" my instrument from any non-believers or demons against the Onion. A few weeks later after that, I tied a rope to the hubcap and put it on my back, kind of like a cross strap that goes across your chest. It was a symbol of protect, that I, being the High Prophet of the Onion, would spread the good word of him and protect all those that touch the hubcap. I wore that hubcap on my back during band practice for a solid year until the rope broke. Now, it hangs on my wall. After all of these events, this is what started my obsession for the Onion
I proposed it as the one and only gift the Onion has given to his servants, and I am the sole protector of this relic. Thanks for reading my little story, and I hope you liked it.
Onion is strong
Onion is powerful
Onion is eternal
Onion is immortal
Onion is life, death and everything within
We stand with him, against the rest of the universe
Praise. Onion.
