Let me know if you are. :D

This messege excludes the furry roomies I already live with that are road tripping with me there. x3

Ask my fursona any clean question you wish. Ok, at least PG-13 and under questions. :P

I just found out the news that Belle Snowleopard has past away this morning from heart failure.

She was a very good furry friend to me and was almost a potential girlfriend for me.

Her cousin called me with her phone and let me know what happened.

She does not have a FA account to my knowledge, but I found her on Pounced.org.

She was a beautiful, loving your lady fur and I really wish I got to meet her in person.

Rest in Peace my sweet snow leopardess.

....and I still feel old....lol

yes, you guessed it, its my b-day. :p

Well, I am stuck here on my out of town route for Schwans here in Roundup, MT. I am literally isolated in town. Every highway out of town is flooded and I can't get back to Billings. The main highway to Billings is blocked by a wall of water 13 feet deep. The other roads are either flooded, too muddy to drive my truck through, or they have major washouts or bridges collapsing.

Please pray for me and hopefully I can get out. x3

Well, if you are, you must know I am talking about DC Universe Online and play it. I just got the game yesterday and I love it! :P

If you don't play the game, but if you are interested, go and buy the game. :P Its worth it in my opinion. This is my frist MMO game that interested me. Never really got the attraction of W.O.W. or any other MMO game, but with DC comics, I am very familar with and like already. It came naturally. lol

So, if you already play this game, I would love to be friends on there and hook up with ya. Thanks!

Got a free $200 dollar printer from my workplace. Its a Epson All-in-one printer/scanner and I love it!

My other printer shit the bed on me a couple of months ago. So over the first year of working with Schwans Home Service, I acquired reward points for sales and service from my manager and had enough to get a printer without paying a cent. :D

Still have 68 points, I could easily get a kitchen small appliance or other small things

So, expect alot of art sketches from me scanned from AC '04 and '06 and Rainfurrest '08 and '10

I need everyone who has me added to AIM add me back so that I can readd you to my list. I accidently erased all of my online contacts when I was trying to delete a different group of contacts.

My AIM user name is bpanther032003

And if you never have added me before, you are also more than welcome to.

Thanks!

Hey everyone else who is reading this FA journal, I will be at Rainfurrest tomorrow until Monday. If any of my readers are going, give me a heads up and we can see if we can meet up. Hope to see you there!

My younger sister, aka the dove, is finally getting married today. So here I am, waiting to take pics with all of them in my nice usher outfit. They made me into asher today and now I am rambling on this PSP. *laughs*

I need your help desperately! I have a few items I would like to sell online but I have no idea how to sell. I already know how to buy and already have a account on there.

If any of my watchers could assist me, that would be great. I need the money this month.

Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone would like a Christmas card from me this year. Just shoot me a private message with your address if you would like one.

Thanks!

Wow! Its sweet! Just as good as last years. :D

I have just heard that my black lab friend of 15 years had passed away tonight at my parents place. I am away from home at the moment, but wish I was there now.

Spook was a great and loyal dog to me throughout my childhood. He was always there to give me support when others would not. His eyes and smile always told me that he would be there for me no matter what. I am having a really hard time writing this because i am crying pretty hard about it. I haven't cried like this in five years.

I will miss alot. Spook was 15 years old, that would be around 100 years in dog years. I hope that all dogs truly go to heaven.

Yep, I turn another year older today, 25 years old now. Can't believe how far I have come along in my life. I always think back to that day I was born. It was a dark and stormy afternoon that day in Minneapolis, MN and it really was. My parents and other family members who were there to see me born always tell me it was a terrible rain storm with lightning and such. Anyways, on that day, June 7th, 1984 at around 2:10 pm, I was born. I was definally a small cub I will say. I was born premature two months too early and weight at 2 lb, 11 oz.

My Dad could cup me in his hand. I had to be in a incubator for about two months actually, so I could be at a healthy weight. By the time I was healthy enough, they took me home to Wisconsin where I lived there until 1998 and than moved here to Wyoming. After finishing high school, I started a little college, but also discovered who I really was inside, a furry. I was changed that year and this last May was my sixth year anniversary being a furry and I am still loving it. :D

Well, thats me in a nut shell. :P Love ya all

Final Total: 5

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling.
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.

I am waaaaayyyy normal.....I think. >.> :p

I added wasps and bees to the list and put triple xxx's on it because I have a phobia of them. >.<

Seem to be having trouble finding that special girl in my life and I feel like I have hit a wall in searching for someone.

The fandom can be so hard for me to find a woman that is also into furry and actually single and looking. Alot of women I have meet already are like perfect matches for me, but I always find out that they are already mated or married already.

I want to clarify that I am NOT DEPRESSED!! I am just tired of being lonely is all. I know a panther loves to be solitary, but I want to date a girl who is as furry as I am and who has a great personality and is funny and great to chat with.

Another problem I seem to find is I live in Wyoming, the one state where every town is 30-60 miles apart from each other and all the great furends I already have either live on the east or west coast or in cities.

So, yeah...I have no idea where to go from here. Any advice from anyone who actually reads this?

Thanks!

A fun meme from  farellemoon

Let's switch places! Imagine for one day out of the blue you woke up and were me. OMG! K, shocks over, now get down to some fun. What would you do?

Reply back and I will tell you what I'm doing as you in the meantime.

Well, everyone is announcing which cons they will be going to and such and I already know for certain that I will not be able to make any cons this year or next year I am sure. I have lots of debts I want to catch up on and than save up for a con when the time comes.

So, I have decided to go on a crusade to get other furs out there who want to take a trip, but not spend so much money and to have some of you visit me for a change. I live in a two bedroom apartment and have that spare bedroom available for some one to sleep in or if you are bringing more than yourself, I can get a room at the Best Value Inn or Super 8 hotels only one block away from my place.

I usually get a year round pass for entrance to any gates to Yellowstone National Park if you ride with me, you would only have to worry about food and gifts if you go to the park with me.

So, what do you say? Can I get any of you to want to come out and see America's first national park, say hi to Yogi Bear and Boo-boo, and see this panther?

Plllleeeeaaaasssseeeee?!!

:P

Can you tell I am desperate?

Let me know, thanks!

Thanks again!

Ok, FA's new banner for October has got my mind reeling now and I have to ask my watchers if I should commission an artist to do a piece of my character as a zombie.

I figure it would be cool. :P Any opinions?

Almost made it to 1000 pageviews. That seem to take forever. lol

Hey, is there anyone here that is great at making You Tube videos and such?

I want to know if someone could make me a video for me for the heck of it, so that I can download it to my PSP and watch it anytime I please and that I would like to have one before the week is up to use for my trip next week to my homestate in Wisconsin where I will be visiting family.

I wanted to download this video, but You Tube has a law against it for some reason: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04WYIrsUe4k

This video is just a slide show of Girl Furry pin-ups, just normal pin-ups, no nudity. Its the way I like it usually.

If you want to make a video similar to this for just me, I would be ever so grateful.

And before anyone asks, I will NOT post this on You Tube and call it my own. I don't ever do that and if I did, I would definably give you credit. :)

Anyways, thanks for listening.

Stole this idea from  likeshine I am sure she will be ok with it. :P

I'd like to know how your nick/handle/alias/etc came about.

Here is my story to start.

I originally became a furry in May of 2003 when I went to the hometown college library to use the public computer for the Internet to check my mail and such. (This was of course before I had my own laptop now.)

At that time, I was just getting into weres and such and I happened across a famous furry site you would all known as VCL. Well, when I was glancing through there, looking at the pics, a stranger came by and seen me looking at this site and he came by a little bit later and about scared the pants off me by saying a loud hi to me.

I was all jumpy earlier because I was afraid a librarian would catch me looking at this site because of some of its naughty pics. Anyways, the stranger turned out to be  whyteyote He than was all happy and asked me if I was furry and such and I just gave him a blankly look and I was like, "uhhh, whats that?" lol

He than explain everything to me and I was created. When I was thinking of the animal that represents me, I always loved panthers and other big cats. I have always had dreams of seeing a black panther in the distance and always knew it was a sign. A funny thing also about my character is that I liked panthers even before I moved to Wyoming in 1998 and when I moved here to Powell, the high school mascot was of course the black panthers. lol So, in honor of going to that high school, I incorporate my character with deep Orange eyes because their colors were black and orange.

My furry name came to me about a month later after I understood what furry was all about. I was thinking of names and I thought the easiest name I could come up with was Chad Panther and I liked the sound of it, it had a nice ring to it.

Ever since than, my character develops and this May will mark my 5 year anniversary of being a furry and I wouldn't ever go back to being my boring human self. :P

Anyways, I went a little long on describing myself, but let me hear from you. How did you develop your characters and or names?
