Post FC '08
Posted 17 years agoOk so FC 2008 is over and I managed to make it out in one piece. I met several new furs which I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with, not the least of which was Atpaw, Rainhopper, Alexroo, and Waggs. I also got a chance to catch up with several furs that I hadn't ween for some time. A few since my last trip to the USA two and half years ago and some since I moved to Perth last year.
All in all I had a great time, the hotel was great, the events and panels where so much fun. F.N.L. or Furry Night Live was probably the most fun I've had since watching the Red Bull race back in November. I managed to get some great art in the form of sketches, commissions, and badges. (Pictures will be uploaded as soon as I find the time to scan everything.)
I'm really looking forward to coming back for FC in 2009, catching up with everyone again and laughing my tail off again at some of the on and offstage antics that seem to pop up around the place. Also looking forward to making some more new friends.
So to everyone that I met, those I didn't get a chance to meet, and those that organized such a brilliant event thanks very very much.

Posted 18 years agoWell since
muchi tagged me I suppose it's only proper for me to carry on this thingy.
What is the name of your fursona?
My fursonia is known as CJ Wolf, though his full name is Jonathon Wolf.
Where did the name of your Fursona come from?
Well the Wolf part is pretty self explanatory, Jonathon I picked just because I liked the name, and the C is for Captain since that's my character's rank at his job.
What species is your fursona and why did you choose that species?
CJ is a North American Timber Wolf, and I choose that species for a couple of reasons, mainly just because they've always been my favorite animal, followed closely by Tigers, but the wolf is also my totem spirit according to Native American legend.
What color is your fursona and why? Hair/fur/eyes/etc
CJ has two tone brown fur, a rich dark brown on his back from the top and front of his head right down to the top of his tail. The bottom of his muzzle and down his chest to the underside of his tail and inner thighs is a lighter color brown. His eyes are a deep ocean blue, his hair is brown too, so it usually goes unnoticed amongst his fur.
What is your fursona's personality and how does this compare to your irl?
CJ and I have much the same personality, though he has a few traits that I wish I did have irl, but for the most part we're the same that way. CJ is a bit taller then me irl since he stands at just over 6 feet and he tends to keep in better shape too.
What is one item your fursona owns that is significant to you irl?
I could say his smile, since we both seem to usually be smiling. Other then that I would have to say his uniform, since we both have the same one.
What is one thing you think you would say to your fursona if you could meet?
OMG fluffy wolf *pounce*, followed by it's my turn to fly
What is one thing your fursona would say to you if you could meet?
*giggle* you need to spend more time at the gym, and what do you mean it's your turn...that's my seat.
How has your fursona changed over the years?
Well when I first thought up CJ as a character it was for a short story that I was writing and he was a werewolf. After that I was introduced to the fandom and CJ changed to be a anthro wolf full time.
How long have you had this fursona?
In his current form, for about 3 years and in total a bit closer to 4
Would you like to be more like your fursona?
Is this really a question??? Of course, a little taller, the tail, the muzzle, the fur...the everything :)
Ok now tag three other people you would like to learn about!
