Man, haven't posted here in five years.... Most because for all my social update stuff I've used Twitter. Now of course that's going down in flames, so guess I'm just keeping an eye out for where most of my furry brethren migrate to next, on both fronts.

It really does feel like the end though doesn't it? FA's been rocky for a while, many ups and down, but as a Babyfur in the Transformation community, it feel like this ill-defined rule is going to drive away like..... nearly everyone, for one reason or another. It's freaking weird man, for sure. And I mean, places like Inkbunny aren't perfect either, I've literally seen some really cool art, just to check out the users gallery and see some uncomfortable "cub" garbage on there.... But hey, Just like D&D, FA will probably still be around, this'll just stop a lot of us from sticking with our comfortable, safe option. Anyhow, feel free to boop me on telegram at ClowMeow, and I'll probably back up my gallery just to be safe. Not sure if I'll post my commission elsewhere, we'll see.

General life stuff for those who may not know though, last 5 years overall have been rough and sucky, but I'm close to graduating as a Vet Tech, and I have an AMAZING guy in my life, so I'm the best I've been since my early 20's.

More than anything, this site turned me onto the fandom, and it's had it's flaws, but I really love you guys, and I'm happy to follow where ever the next hub leads!

So.. I haven't had a reason to post much, like at all. Though I've been active on the site in other ways xp, though I plan to do a bit better on all sides. Anyhow, I've had a fun little project with  Cobalt_Raccoon I won a little contest, and it snowballed into a four page comic xD. He was really understanding, and He's a really sweet guy, and I look forward to posting it, along with some extra story to go along with it. In preparation for this, I want to post my backlog. It won't be tooo massive, I'm pretty broke, so a year of comishes and requests ect. for me, is like, a month or a week for SOME people xp.

Anyhow, besides that, I also got a tablet, and I'll by trying my hand at not sucking x3. So we'll see how that goes. Also Megaplex is coming up! I can't really afford it, but I'm doing it anyhow xD Gone tighten my belt for the rest of the year and see if I can manage getting everything in order.

But yeah, not much to say besides, I'm a pretty open guy, so I guess it makes sense that my journals would be sort of small

So, I need to hurry up with this, or I’ll never get it out xD.

So, the build up to Megaplex was…. A bit insane. I wasn’t even sure I would go, but I asked for the time off. I did it the normal way, but one of the new mangers didn’t have access to that method, and opted for paper sheets instead. I learned this about a week or so before, but Donie hadn’t gotten the time off either, so I figured why bother? Well they decided to give him those days, oh, pretty much on Friday of the con. Well that made me want to kick a puppy xD. But, I managed to get covered for Saturday and Sunday, it cut my hours a bit, but by the end I said “Screw it, on Vacation, let’s go.”

So we got there a bit late, but it was a good start, we hung out in a… what I would say, casual cub room, I believe the guy running it, best put it as “Everyone keeping their pants on.” XD. But yeah, met some cool new people, played some games, Disney going on in the background, twas cool, we ended the night with dancing. I was a bit apprehensive, but I let go a bit more than usual at least. Next year, if I make it, I plan to give into the beat a bit more. Also get buzzed beforehand. I still haven’t been full on drunk, but I was at least braver about the idea of it xp.

So Saturday rolls around, and I’m still getting my bearings, lost, looking for pre registration, and I get invited to play some table top games, I choosing one called tower. I didn’t even win, but I have to say, I haven’t had that much fun, and laughed that hard since I don’t know when. I literally nearly fell over, and I thankfully ran into the two hosts a few times during the con. One was even a cub, small world huh? I’m ddeefeennttlyy hunting them out ahead of time, and gaming with them again.

And from there, it start to mesh a bit, a big cub meet up, as well as hanging in some already established friends room led to me meeting some great new people, and making some new friends, and I was pleased as punch to do so.

Sunday had a bit of bittersweet, as all cons do, but between some pool time fun, and a wondrous, magical Sushi dinner, I couldn’t have really asked for more.

It was one of the most on the edge of my seat, spontaneous things I can recall doing. And I’ll admit, it was no Anthrocon. If only for the already amazing close friends, and cool people that all gather there. But it was infinitely more affordable, and I am now extremely poor. Ideally I’ll one day have them both in my life, and a few extras. But for now, I had a good time, and I hope I can deepen the new bonds I’ve made there.

I still love you all, never forget that you are all a massive part of my life, and I only want to make it bigger and better. You guys have made me who I am, and I’m looking to keep moving forward ^w^

Yeeaaaaahhh, I really don't know how much help this'll be, I really don't know how many watchers I have that Ido,Girs, and Gaia don't, but hey what the hell?

So, my big bro  acuteartist and his snugable (At your own risk) roomie  Heifer Are having some moving troubles and are pretty down and out. So there offering some discounts for some of there rather awesome works.

Now I'm as poor as anyone xD I don't think I've gotten a single commission all year that I can recall, but these are some great guys, who do good work, and if you're like me, deals kinda make you drool, even when you're a little strapped xD

Now it seems Heifer's full up for now http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6786365/ though who knows? Keep on eye on that, he's a crazy guy who can do a LOT of interesting stuff.

By bro still has room I think though : 3 http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6786220 He's got a nice unquie style, so give it a look see!

Yeeeeppp I aged. Man reality, you’re a jerk ya know that? I mean daaaammmmmnnnn I’m trying to craft a certain sense of escapism here, gewd.

Though on that note, I am kinda late, I worked the morning of the 27, wasn’t a bad day, but I was rather tired. Then Me and Donie  latias714 went to Golden Corral. I had a coupon and had never really been xp. Good steak, very nummy popcorn shrimp, and though the blueberry pie was okay, it is rather kind of a buffet to also serve cotton candy as a dessert xp I was rather stuffed.

Was a nice time, Donie was a total gentleman and paid, which may sound like a no brainer, but we’re rather poor, so you know how that goes. I’ve actually, sadly had a bit of a sinus infection, so though I got a rather nice night sleep, I’ve been kinda sleeping all of today as well.

But that’s not enough to ruin a good time xp. So yeah, life’s been moving along. Rather dull pace really. Can’t start school until the start of next year. Not an instate resident yet, and its 230 MORE dollars per course hour, I need to make my money stretch xD. But yeah, lack of journals is due to lack of junk going on. I’m actually looking for another Job, as I’m getting by just fine, but I could put some savings away as well, would be pretty great.

Thank you kindly for all you well wishes, I hope everything is well : 3

So….. Things have been… I would say, good lately. The real word is kind scary, rent, and bills, and such. Me and  latias714 have been doing pretty good, living together takes adjusting, but I think it’s going good. Works been scary, talk of hour cuts, making me wonder I f I’ll need a 2nd job, or just, another one, but it’s at least not a immediate issue. Plus not to mention school, but I need my dad to get back to me about funding. I thankfully have a small fund set aside, which is good because funds are still unstable, I mean we’re fine, but it’s still enough to make me… worried I guess.

But now, the main reason for my need to write. I was having a pretty nice night, after a decent bit of work, and I lean over to check on my hedgehog Chester. And there he is, prickly and no longer alive…… I feel just awful. I hadn’t paid him enough attention, I’ld been meaning to clean his cage, just bought him new shavings… I just feel.. awful.. Like I should have done more for him, but he didn’t seem unhappy at least, he was eating, roaming around, drinking plenty.

He was about… a year and a half.. I don’t know what I did.. I thought I was prepared. It’s going to drive me crazy.. Feeling like a bad owner. But I can’t afford to have a vet look at his body, and I may just end regretting knowing…. I’ll I can really do, is do better. It’ll be a while before I can get another pet…. They can be rather expensive, especially with a 300 dollar deposit. While Chester cost me about 300 bucks, his care really wasn’t much…

So yeah, I’m just going to be grieving for the next handful of weeks. Feeling like an irresponsible heel. Wondering what killed him, and what I could have done to prevent it. It’s too warm in Florida, even on the coldest days for him to hibernate, I did my best to buy him good food, and I don’t think a slightly dirty cage, or lack of play would kill him so suddenly…

So I really don’t know, I just had to get it out in the open. I’ll just distract myself, work, games, and of course my dear friends here… I’ll be able to love a creature again, my and Donie will get a cat someday.. that will be nice.

Well wishes to all you wonderful people, and for anyone who read, thank you for caring.

Heh, yeah, I know I’m not the best with updates, but hey, right on the verge of New Years Eve seemed about right.

So, as many of you should know, I’m in Florida now. We’ve been staying with Don’s mom and Step dad, who’ve been pretty welcoming I would say. Christmas was okay, though I haven’t really gotten anything yet, what with being between addresses, but was still fine I would say. I’ve already gotten a job, a nice transfer from Staples, so that’s been nice and smooth.

But, on the first of this year, we’ll have our own place. On the first, we’ll start moving in to our very own apartment. The rent seems rather reasonable, and even though we’re having to dig DEEP starting out, I think that’s pretty much always the way isn’t it? All those deposits and such. This new year really is the start of a lot of new beginnings. I’ve already joined a GYM, which is right next to work. One of the best parts works under a mile away. As someone making a 40 mile round trip every workday, and giving a 3rd of his money to the gas pump, I’m quite pleased.

Heck in the next few months I plan to start looking into schools, a community college to get my core, and then someplace nicer to shoot for a Psychology Major. Cons are still… a question, I’m trying to be hopeful, but we’ll just have to see where we are xp.

But yeah, I love all you guys, and my position in the fandom has never been stronger. I hope everyone’s future looks bright. I’ve had to use a number of years to get this far, and It’ll take scores more to get me where I want to be. I hope to see all of your paw prints beside me as I keep heading forward :3

Well, I've never really done any kind of review, but.. I dunno, after seeing this, I felt I wanted to share my opinion and thoughts, and perhaps see what everyone thought.

So, general direction, I last read Boom would be it's own thing. I DO prefer it that way, but I have some thought on that, but we'll discuss that aspect a bit further down.

First, style, overall it looks rather fine, the characters look good overall. Sonic still seems a bit off putting, but it's not.. bad persay. But Knuckles... my god... I mean, I get it, I understand the choice, but I'll never be okay with it guys, sorry xp, I just... can't not imagine him like, gliding like that, I dunno.

Now, voice cast. Honestly, it's the best we've had in years, Sonic is sounding his best since he got his very first voice actor in Adventure if you ask me, Tail's sounds like a boy, which has been a bit hit and miss, Knux sounds like knux, despite not looking at him. Eggman keeps up his streak of amazing voice actors. Sticks... is both too new as a character over all for me to judge, but I like her okay. But man, Amy, she feels like the only dud in the room. I feel, despite herself, that Amy has done a good job overall when it comes to having good voice actors. Maybe she'll grow into that, but I find her to be the most grating, despite not really having any issues with her character.

Now, what I would say is the most important part, the comedy. I like it. Really, it makes me laugh, and I'll keep watching it for that alone. I mean, some of the set ups and such DO come off way too.. cartoony, Tails getting fired, trying to higher a new side kick, Eggman living with them because his base was destroyed. I mean it is a kids show, so I suppose it flies, I do find it... a bit distracting at times. BUT, the lines, and delivery are rather lovely. Many of the jokes are smartly written. Amy may have left me groaning, but Sonic was getting laughs out of me. And Sonic was always a wise as, but I'm not sure there was THAT many times he got me really laughing. So as a kids show, it's doing well.

Now this is the part were the critic comes in. Story. Now, this is a kids show, that's fine, but it's the story that get's under my skin a bit. Mostly because it reeks a bit of Sonic Colors and Lost World. Honestly, if the series goes this route overall, Sonic Boom is at least a bit better than Colors. But man do I not wanna see that... I mean Sonic HAS gone through some rough times, and Colors helped pull us out of that.... And I know I'm going to get teased about caring about the story ina SONIC game. But I remember.... Adventure one and two. Fun Sonic games with food stories. Of course "06" screwed this all to hell. But I still miss it. Adventure one was the first time I felt they really TRIED for a story, and they did a pretty damn good job of it. Heck, Mario tried that in Sunshine, and now we never see much voice acting, or a cutscene, ever.

But yeah, that's me thoughts. I'm going to keep watching it and see how it goes. I suppose if it makes Sonic more popular it may could lead to better games... Honestly I'm not sure if the show is good for Sonic as a whole. But in, of itself, is a pretty good show. So I'm going to give it a shot, and what will be, will be.

Thank you for reading a bit of my ramblings, and if you have anything to say, please comment bellow, I would love a bit of dialog.

Okay, it's been a bit, I'm bad at these sorta things it seems.... keeping up to date, posting shit, I'm going to try and be better about all that.

Sooo pretty soon, I'll get around to posting a bit more of my back log, I also really need to update my page message and such.

But that comes a bit later. There's a few things up in the air, but the biggest thing is on 24th, me and  Latias714 Will be heading to Florida with all my junk, and moving in together. I'll be living with my boyfriend, and officially be a Floridean, so that'll be cooooolll

I just finished spending my last weekend with my Dad and such, was a nice time, and now it's just... working and pre packing and sttuuffff

So nothing too much really, though I think life will start getting a lot more interesting x3

This is going around like wildfire it's crrazzzyyy, so why not? x3

So yeah, tell me something you assuming about me, adn I'll tell you if your right or not xD

And I'm conflicted. Don't get me wrong, this is very much a first world problem xD, I'm just not sure which to go with. Ya see, FIRST I was going to have the best of both worlds, and discount and coupon one from staples.com. But that didn't work out, the web site was kinda a bitch, and had some model listing issues, so that ones pretty much off of the table sadly.

So now I'm left with 2 choices as far as I can see. I can go the cheapo route and go with this rather fine deal: https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/us/p.....tId=prod150200

Or I can go the collocters route, and head over to my local gamestop for one of these: http://www.gamestop.com/wii-u/conso.....-bundle/111373

Both aren't bad either way, I'm just having trouble figuring out which one I'm going to do better with in the long hawl.

But I AM already commited, already order some Wii AV cables (I don't have and HDTV yet) as well as Mario Kart 8, cause, 1, it looks amazing, 2 it was only 48 bucks on amazon, so pretty good discount, and 3, register it before the end of them month and free 40 dollar game xD

annnyyyhhooowww any thoughts? Heck, anyone who cares? Cause I can understand not xp, I mean the Wii U IS just starting to pick up, but hey, I got a little extra cash, and me and Donie will enjoy it when I get down there.

It ssuuucckkkss man, no FWA, lived in, and even now NEAR GA all my life, but never went, never knew any local furs. Athrocon was to much of a financial risk, as I wanna keep my wallet pretty fat for my move, and it doesn't look like I'll be moved down to Florida in time for Megaplex. But you know, I'm not tooo down about it.

I mean, I'm dealing rather well with post AC, I bet I'm dealing far better than the furs getting smacked with that damn post con depression xD. Though I will admit, now that we have back to school going on at Staples, our roughest time of the year, a little vacation would have been nice xp. But that's neither here nor there.

Really.. I just miss you guys is all, so many people seemed too look forward to seeing me, and the feeling was very mutual. I just hope when I make the transition to poor ass college student, at the age of 23 mind you (Bllleecckk) That I'll hae the funds to make trips like this. I mean Megaplex will be cheap, and that's something, bu on;y a few of you will attend that, when compared to the monster of AC xp.

And it's worth it, it really, really is. I need to move away form my mother, I need to be with my love and darling  latias714 , I need to start school and do what I'm best at, and get that psychology degree. I'm just preping myself for being even busier, and poorer, and seeing everyone less, and that's not super easy.

But I'm going to follow the example of the first person I met here on FA, and awesome duder  SmilingSammi Dude is busy as hhheeeeeelllll. But every time I got a brief moment, he also put a lot of effort into it, always showing he cared, and I vow to do the same.

Anyhow, that's my ramblings for a bit, I hope you aall had a lovely AC : 3 I would certainly love to see you all again next year, and will eat ramen for the month before and after if that's what it take, though I'm not counting on it one way or another. But hey, at least I'll have help ^~^

My dear friend  rizen is having a bit of a rough patch, so she's offering discount commissions. I felt I could spread the word a bit on my side of things, heck I've gotten her a few commissions just by posting what she's done for me xD. Besides being a sweetheart, and someone rather dear to me, she's also very talented, and does some great work, so I would certainly recommend her highly ^~^

Anyhow, thank you for your time, here's a direct link to her journal http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5873704/ I hope you guys like what you see :3

Weellll, I’ve been meaning to post for age, I can never seem to get these out… Heck even now I’m having trouble getting it all written down. I really need to get better at that, I have a lot I wanna talk to you all about this and that, and also have something to reflect on later in life… but anyhow.

I’ve aged, so hurrah for that. Really it’s been an uneventful birthday, I want a concert that got rained out, dad sent my fifty bucks, and Prav was nice enough to draw me something, that’s about it. So nothing much has happened.

But, I will say, I got more well wishes at midnight last night, than I had all day last year, and I only had more and more throughout the day, and that is pprettyy cool x3. I really do love you all :3 and course don’t feel bad if you didn’t get to use skype as a cheat sheet >w>. I’m ppretty firmly rooted in my fandom, and I’m pretty comfortable here, it’s rather homey ya know?

So yes, the birthday wasn’t anything special, really probably the most toned down one I’ve ever had, but all the loves is pretty specials :3. Not to mention my next birthday will be spent with my darling, and that’ll be pretty nice ^~^.
But yeah, everything is stead as she goes, I just wish I didn’t have so much trouble getting shit I want done, done. I wanna write more, I need to post my small back long; I’m just really bad at getting it all done…. I need to somehow transfer my focus I have at work into my home life xD, at least for a few hours. But at least I’m working on it.

I hope you’re all doing well, and I hope I can spit a few of these out more often xD

I dunno, been meaning to post something for a while, and I'll still will, but I figure, uhm.. why not? x3

So, I meant to post this last night, but me and  Latias714 end up talking late into the night. My new years eve was rough, losing my only day off, coming into work on four hours of sleep, so on and so forth. It really made up for all the bleck of the day x3.

So, I want to take this time, to look back, and forward. 2013 was huge for me. Big time. At the start of this year, I was still finishing up my Homeschooling BS. At the age of 21 >.>. Partly had to do with helping dad with his cancer treatments, and him not having time to teach me. Big chunk of it was me being a lazy fuck xD. I had no license, was still living with my dad, kinda drifting through my days, and just doing odd jobs to make a little spending cash.

Now, I have my own car, job, graduated with a 3.9 GPA, moved in with my mom, though I now pay for a share of the internet, my phone, TV, as my own food. Big turnaround I would say. I’m kinda behind in life in quite a few aspects. But I still feel rather proud of myself. I was in a slump, big time, and I pulled myself out of it. There’s been some turbulence, I’ve moved twice this year. And me and my mom have had good times and bad, but it was one of the most important years of my life.

Now, what does the future bring? Well as a good few of you may know, me and  Latias714 AKA Don the Shinx, are back together. We broke up two years ago, due to his own sexuality and confusion. He’s since been with two girls, one kind of unbalanced, and one rather sweet. The latter of which, after realizing he didn’t want to be in a romantic kind of relationship with her, lead to him realizing he wanted me back.

Now I understand how that may sound, and I could see how a few of you could be wary of that sorta thing. But I’m really not worried. We were going to be roommates regardless, and I do want to head down to Florida. I don’t have enough tying me down to want to go back got Georgia, and I just don’t want to get too comfy in South Carolina. It seems like I could really hang my hat there, and stay for a nice long while. Not to mention, after our first break up, we still managed to stay the best of friends.

After the Holidays finally wind down fully, I will start going into super saver mood. As much as I would like to bluster my art and get a comish or two, I have to put that aside for the time being. Our current goal is in March. It’s a bit optimistic, but it’ll be a good bench mark, when it rolls around, we can really see where we are, and how we’re doing, and how much longer it’ll take.

And that’s really about it, I’ve had a big, big year, and you’ve all seen me through it, and gave me some normality during all the massive changes in my life. Now as I stop into 2014, I only see bigger changes ahead of me, and I’m really excited.

Hope all of your new years are starting off strong, my last day of 2013 was pretty lack luster, but I won’t let that get me down, I’ve got so very much ahead after all :3

Because screw it, there's still time, it looked fun, I've never really thought to do it, and I felt like ripping  fenblack off! xD

Okkkaayy, damn xD I got so much to do, clean out my hedgehog cage, clean my room, pack up for my trip to see my dad this weekend. I work at 8 AM tomorrow, and I'm going straight from work, to my dads place.

BUT along with that, I'm nearly preped for that art dump I've been trying to get done for months. SO, when I get home tonight, I plan to vinish it up, post like mad, and end with all my halloween related posts as a nice little finisher, then I'll do some more prep work, go to bed, get alllll ready for my trip, work for a good few hours, and then make that 2 hour and some change drive.

Yeah, I'm pretty busy, but I think it'll alll be worth it in the end.

Wish my luck guys x3.

Okay, so that art dump is still coming, I should be able to get it all done by Monday, if not tomorrow, even with Pokemon X taking up my time >w>. Oh, and I will be saving all Halloween based junk for the actual day x3. But anyhow, this is just a little story I felt like sharing.

So, I've been wanting to try the Germinal Mills Monster Cereals, they only come around this time of year, and I'm told they're pretty dang good. You know, Count Chocula, Boo Berry, FrankenBerry, and Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy were even coming back this year.

So I'm like "Cool, that'll be a fun thing to do for Halloween, make int a tradition and stuff."

And for the past couple of weeks I've looked for them. I that, ya know, they would be out the whole month of October, and I've been kinda annoyed that they haven't been stocked. I go to the cereal isle at Wal-mart, and nothing, I even checked K-mart a few days ago.

I've pretty much given up, when I see them in a middle stand. In "Monster Size" two packs. I ask if there's anyway to by them signally, and I get your average, Wal-mart "I don't know, just take what we have okay?" Kinda go around.... Small side note, we may be a bit more pricey, but I'll tell you at MY Staples, we take care of the customer xD, I swear, if Walmart didn't have cheap food xp.

Anyhow, at first I'm trying to pick just, one, as I'm indecisive. and of course I drive myself crazy. What if I get two of one I don't like? What if I DON'T get two one I do like? Also I'm OCD, so things not being even... erks me, like, way more than it should. And this was going to throw he whole thing off... And I didn't want to go home empty handed. That risked missing out, after all, I don't go near the grocery store ever day, and I hate going honestly x3.

So, pondering over the annoyance, I glance at the sell by date...... There all in the mid 2014. So as long as I don't open every signal box like an idiot, they'll be good for a while..

...........

Screw it! Cereal for a fucking year bitch! *Piles a two box pack of each* 25 bucks, 10 boxes of cereal, I'm set :p.

Really, I was pissed at first. But I have to admit, that's like, impressing my own inner cub. "Wooowwwwwssseeerrrrr you bought ten boxes of limited time yummy looking Halloween cereal? You're awwwssommmeee" Sometimes it pays to pamper your inner child. I'm not walking the streets for candy anymore, but hell, I buy my own, now I'm sucking on Jolly Ranchers while I work sooooonnn x3

Oh, and like I said, F5 for a nicer, spooky avatar :3 My buddy Stripes made it, here's a bigger version http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11802750/ going to post is on Halloween, like I said ;3

Soooo yeah, been pretty busy as of late, working working and all that. Back to school is just slowing down, I reealllyy wish they would cut my hours, between work and helping with my mom’s store, I really don’t need 30 hours a week x3. But eh, just means I’ll have a lot of cash, not like I’m out of things to buy. Sure I’ve gotten more games than I can play… I always buy them on the cheap anyhow, so no reason not to build up a little collection. Though I think I might get a few more comishes, I’ve still been overall spares on those.

But yes, my mom opened a Scrub store last month, it’s been rolling along rather nicely, and I’m pretty happy with it. Of course I’m still not thrilled with where I’m living. But it’s comfortable and fair, I just look forward to the day I can start really living with someone my own age, I’ll admit, I have my eye set on a few possibilities.

Anyhow, you guys can expect and art dump pretty soon, I haven’t posted a thing in over a year (How did that happen? xD ) and though I don’t get a lot of art overall, I should have a thing or two to show. Of course, I do have a few odder things, being both a cub and a TF nut, that’ll happen, but I don’t think I should offend anyone x3.

In further news, I’ve also came up with an ability to define myself, and my character a bit. The fur community is full of all types of Fursona’s with unique abilities, mystical and otherwise, green l, benders of all creeds, and all types of scientist and wizards xp. And yeah, such things may pass depending on art an mood, though I’m thinking more of an over arching theme. I’m a spell slinger by nature, but how to focus such a thing. And then I noticed that some of my best ideas had been stuff I had more or less made… So I’m an Enchanter now x3, so I mmaayyy be getting some art and stuff to back up this theme sometime soon. Otherwise I’m not sure there’s much to say, though hey, I hope to be playing some Pokemon with some of you later :3

Okay, so I’ve been meaning to post a journal for some time. About the latest goings on, and to alter that I will have a bit of an art dump coming. I plan to still do BOTH of those, but this is fresh, so I need to just get it out xD

So, this is not to be whiny, though I’m sure it will be, simply to vent, and maybe get a chuckle out of you guys. I still enjoy my job, and I’m thankful most of the people I work with are pretty darn great. But this night…. My god, where to begin. Well first, I didn’t even know the extent of how terrible this all was. I was tormented at check out, but it turns out she was also causing trouble earlier. She was whining over returns, having to have things told to her three times, multiple managers dealing with her. Now I had seen this happen, but it didn’t come to mind that this was the same lady. Why? Because that happened 4 hours prior to me checking her out . There had been shift changes for as long as she was in the store.

Now, throughout those four hours, her kids had run ramped across the store. The candy near the register was wrecked, flash lights were thrown about, they were playing and screaming loudly for a long time, so long I thought it was some of the other kids that had come into the store. For a good 20 minutes, there was yowling of “I wwaaannntttt iiiiittt” Screaming, crying, the kinda of “Call a priest and the Ghost Busters, and calmly leave the now haunted store.” Kind of screaming and crying. She got the candy by the way.

Now they get to the register, I saw am empty drink they had earlier, empty ontop of our drink cooler, and brought it up, I have the strongest feeling that if I hadn’tof noticed it, that it never would have gotten paid for xD. So as she get’s to the register, she’s talking about in store coupons, one was for tissues, we sell a three pack, so she rips open the plastic there in, and we try to do them one at a time. Course we don’t sell them that way, and I had to call a manger to explain to her in three different ways, that there is no way we could take her coupon. Naturally she didn’t by them and we had to damage them out.
So as I’m checking her out, she is meandering, taking her time, as if she’s sorting them for a separate order, taking longer than anyone I’ve ever checked out, she left the register at least twice to get other things, I swear her check out must have nearly taken thirty minutes. Oh and she didn’t by any of the extra stuff she brought up, now that I think about it. She then pays with a prepaid card from her earlier returns, 50 in cash, and the rest on a credit card. That’s no big deal mind you, but at this point it’s just like….. Really?

And as she leaves, I’m handed a basket full of stuff she didn’t want for us to put back, and then she leave, twenty minutes before closing. She was slow, dense, cleary having no respect for the time of those around her, and had no control over her children. She wasn’t nasty mind you, but I would have almost preferred if she was. Those customers are pissed and want to get out, it can string, but only for a little bit. And you my thank I’m exaggerating, but honestly I think I’m leaving things out xD. So guys tell me, how does it stack up with what you have dealt with? Because I really think it’ll be a while before I find someone nearly as bad as her, she really pissed off just about everyone in the store x3. So yeah, WORST CUSTOMER EVER!

Okay, jeez... What to talk about.... Well for starters, it was good. Not my best, I had a pretty AMAZING Anthrocon my very first year, but better than last year. Last year, while still good, had a looottt of heavy shit.... Just.... Hanging in the air. It made everything just a bit more sour. Now first off, I got a full week. that was pretty damn awesome, and made the whole thing really nice. I also got to fly out, which means I was there, and back in no time at all. I think that's really eased the transition, though I won't lie, a nice, day long Bus ride still has some charm in my eyes. I'm not really sure why x3.

I roomed with  Latias714 ,  cen_aeonis , and Portalisk (Not sure if he has an FA) The rooming was nice enough, spent a lot of time with Don, which was pretty nice, sometimes last minute planning works out I guess ;3. Though I kinda learned I really don't know how to handle myself in a cub heavy room. I really don't have a lot of RL cub practice, or really ANY RL cub interaction. I should get more comfy with that xD. Also I got way to much sleep. Odd saying that, how tired I am, but yeah. There wasn't as much of a get up and go spirit like the other Cons, maybe it was because there was so few people, or that I didn't stay at the Westin, but yeah, I'm not good at bring that wake up and move vibe xp.

Let's see.. I had some.. "Wander, can't find anything to do with anyone" Time, A little to much of it if you ask me. However, I spent a LOT of time with  Acuteartist As well as  Kokuei I would say I bumped into them both lots. I think Kokuie and I are a a good deal closer as friends, and I got to be more formally introduced to his mate  LeinKiza Who is quite sweet. I roomed with Girs last year, and my Con this year wouldn't be the same without him. We were total Bro's this year, and I even played a big role in creating his rather cool new character, M30wm1x, I'm really proud of that fact xD.

I caught I glimpse of a buncha people. some of which I don't know there FA's as of yet. I Walrus named Royce was especially kind, and we had a rather nice conversation or two :3. I had Pizza with  Immelmann Met some pretty interesting people too, :toyapup: Was nice enough to make sure I didn't leave my backpack behind, course when I went looking for it, he was already wearing it, sly wolf can still get me all frazzled and confused.

I spent a decent bit of time with :jrabbit: 's group this year, which was rather nice. Jake himself was cool as always....A... Loveable ass of sorts, he knows how to get me hot under the collar reeeaalllyyyy easy, and exploits the hell out of it. And you know, it's kinda endearing xD, still, I would consider him a rather good friend, and it's always nice to hang around with him.  digitz was chill as always, and of course  eyanicarea as always was a joy to be around. I really consider her a close friend, and it always just perks me up to see her.

 ikato Was warm and friendly as always, and it was nice meeting  flipsta_lombax A bit more formally. And not to jack ya'lls style, but I may have to get one of those crests, those things were tight xD, I like... Need one now, badly. Really I didn't hang out with the dancers much this year, but I think I'll make a point to remedy that next year.

I also got to meet prodigious9  coren and  paddercat Who were all rather swell guys.

I even got a bit of time with :Doryuu: And if you know him, or  smilingsammi (Who always get's a shout out for being my first "Furiend" and making all this possible) is the the type to bounce around everywhere, so even a few moments is pretty good x3.

I also had some nummy sushie with  gaia1234 That was prreetttyy nice. Damn, so many people buzzing in my head, new friends, old ones, I bet I'm forgetting so many.. Please don't be mad, there's some who's FA I don't even know... And it's like, crazy...

But anyhow, moving on a bit so my brain doesn't short out. I got to bring my 3DS this year, and that was pretty fun, the street passes ran like water, and it felt oddly accomplishing. I hope I'll get to play with lotsa peoples :3. 2 and Kage were a joy as always, and when it comes right down to it... Well I feel revitalized.

I haven't vanished persay... But I want to be more active in the fandom. I now have money for a bit more comish stuff, which should be nice, I want to start drawing a bit more, as well as writing for your enjoyment. I know I can write pretty well, and it's about time I started showing you all. And now that I've lost some weight, I think I'll start playing a bit more Dance Central, trim down a bit, get the basics down, and build of my conference. I dunno if I'll ever really be a dancerfur. Or a good artist, or even a notable writer (That being the only skill of the three I'm currently any good at xD ) But these are all things I want to improve on. There all things that are dear to my heart, some before the fandom, some after.

The point being, after this Co, I'm more proud to be a Furry than ever, and I want to show that through actions, and not just talk. I love you all, and I want to thank you for making my life deeply more meaningful. When I look at you all, I see a big part of my future, and sure, all this may not have much to do with going to college, and hashing out my career, the next big adventure in my life, but the people I share it with, and the future I hope to build with the tools of knowledge certainly do. I really wouldn't trade this for anything in the world, I'm Clow, I'm a Savanna Cat, and that's never going to change.

Now next thing, time to post my art back log, it's been over a year xD be getting to that soon, although I don't have a HELL of a lot, all things considered. And after my fiances get stable again, it'll be time to start cashing some of these mouth checks, Pencils, a sketch book, comieshs, a new pen for my tablet, and more. Love you guys, and thanks for bothering to read.

Driving to the airport tomorrow. Yeah, I'll be a bit early, but it should be pretty great all the same. I won't be online much, as... Well, you know, hanging out with good fur friends is the entire reason I'm online in the first place xD

I look forward to seeing you all soon, and plan to get many numbers and such, I may even get some new friends ^^. And for my good many close friends that aren't attending, I'm sorry that you won't see much of me. We'll hang out plenty when I return :3

So this is good bye computer, I'll have my new, somewhat Cheapo table, as well as my still rather new and amazing smart phone, so I'll be far more wired than I'm use to, but I'm leaving this puppy behind, to much hassle for not enough reasons.

Anyhow, catch you guys on the flip side, On ward and offward, to adventure! Now to get the drive to the air port out of the way.. after some sleep, that's going to be like, my least favorite part xp

Okay,, sooooo life has been busy as well, work, having an accident, paying said thing up, getting a game I've been eager to play for well over 3 years xD. Animal Crossing is amazing by the way, I still want to add more of you, and I hope to add some people at AC.

But anyhow, do to actually getting one pretty bitching Birthday gift, I'm saying all week, from Tuesday, to Tuesday, If anyone wants to hang out, feel free x3, honestly, if I wasn't sure most people had set there travel plans in stone, I would have offered people to stay with me and get a little early AC. Heck if any of my friends read this, and can alter my there travel plans, go ahead x3

Also, I have a decent cell phone this year, and I can text as I please, so I need to start getting numbers! So uhm, yeah guys, start sending them my way xp.

Other than that, I don't have much to say, I look forward to seeing you all, I'll be wearing a few new badges (I will be a badge whore if it kills me >w>) My collar people like to jingle, and if all goes well, my very own Tail :3

Now for more packing and three more days of work

Okay, so it's my birthday, woot and all that, I have the day off from work, but mostly I'm just laying around the house. Family is out, so it's just me and my still unnamed Hedgehog. Really the only thing I have planned is maybe getting to skype with a few people. Any gifts I do get most likely won't even be today but that's not that point I'm making x3. Isn't just nice, when the world just, drops something in your lap? Not like physical, but sentimental. Just, something meaningful and nice to also be associated with the day of your birth. And so far, two years in a row, I've gotten a little something, and I dunno, it just feels kinda.... nice and I feel like talking about it some.

Last year, May 26th at midnight, which also means May 27th at 12:01, Toonami came back to us all. It's steadily gotten better, and it's great to see it back, Tomm is just as amazing as when I was a kid, as is his voice actor that brings him to life. And I don't known, ever since then, I've felt connected with it, I told people about it, because I felt in a way, responsible. It feel like something that is in some sort of way, mine, and I want it to stick around and do well ^^.

Today, I got a surprise as well, that gave me a similar feeling. Many of you will know of Fire Emblem Awaking, A great game, and one a really enjoy. I already felt close to it, due to the fact that the Tacticians suited me to a T. My first play through, I didn't even bother with other classes, and hell, even when I did, it was only switching for Grand Master, to Sage. Not exactly a big leap xD. So now, I turn on my 3DS, to get some well wishes from the cast, and what do I find? I share a birthday with Chrom. I mean, that isn't the biggest thing in the world, but what if you find out what if you found out you shared a birthday with Ulfric Stormcloak, or Cloud Strife? I don't know, just adds another level of closeness I feel with this game.

So yeah, a silly thing to talk about.. But ya know, it just kinda makes me smile ya know? I don't even know what people WOULD reply to a silly Journal like this, but anyone have any thoughts?
