I can't fit into my clothes now I had to buy new ones just to keep up. From this day forth I am going to say fuck it and get my fat dragon tail into high gear I am going to get a membership to a fitness group soon so I can and will lose all this fat that I have been keeping with me for the longest time and change for the better for myself so I can look and feel better when I am out and at cons to be somebody out in the world. i am now 320 pounds (145kg) My goal for right now is to lose 50 pounds (23kg) by the end of the year i know it will not be easy and this is where you come in guys.

If you have any advice please share them with me anything will help <3

Guys I will not make any excuses anymore... I don't need them and I want to be better for me, and I am going to be doing a before and after pics of me too. also I will have  mavwolf to keep me in check.

Thank you for you time and thoughts ^.=.^

Yup I just turned 24 and I feel that things are going to be great for me this year, I sit here writing this to you all and never in my dreams to have people in my life that cared so much for me before. Ever since accident in West, Texas and the Moore,OK disaster that really shook me in a deep level that I didn't knew how much support you gave me to stand back up and continue to push forward to help others in their time of need.

I really do thank you for your kindness, thoughts, and your unyielding friendship. because you're the greatest gift I can ever ask for.

I guess it is that time of year again, soon I will be 24 years old in two weeks and honestly I don't really feel like its worth celebrating this year...

No i am not going emo here. let me explain

I know I'm not the one to talk, but most of my birthdays have been shity and five times a hurricane stopped on my birthday in Texas and now i am in Chattanooga, Tennessee for work. I just find myself here counting my blessing on how many people that I have helped during my time as a nurse and the people that I have befriended this year. it makes me sad in a bittersweet concept that I am glad the things that happen the way it did for me to make me the person who i am now. each year I cry and think I don't want to grow up. of course, this is me venting it all out that deep down I am not alone here... I have you in my life... you make me get up and start me day knowing that I can and will make a difference ever since the West, Texas and Moore, OK I haven't been the same, but that where you come in guys... I am so grateful to know you and feel wanted here. I would give my life to save another if it came to it, all I ask is that please remember me when I am gone. for those of you that have seen me in real life, I thank you for getting to know you in person. fursuitrs, artists, etc. Thank you ^.=.^

I have reached me 1000th watcher!!!!!!!


Thank you very much for your support and making me feel so loved here in the fandom. loves you all!!!!! <3

well?

alright guys ask away... no seriously ask something I'm bored x.=.x

It has been three months since the West, Texas explosion that shook the city and its people and I would like to say that a I am really grateful to have good friends here in the fandom. At times I can't sleep at night having the images in my head of all those people bleeding and hurt from the blast... I often cry when I past by there when going to Dallas for the furmeets there, I just can't get over the fact that I was there helping the people. At first I was really eager to go, but when I got there my life changed in a blink of an eye... I guess it really took its toll on me when I got back with nothing to do for a week with all the thoughts still fresh in my mind, all the pain that I saw and heard. I was really glad that I got away from Texas for a few days to AC2013, but there lingers some of the past that came along with me, I just put a blanket to cover up my despair while I was at the con. nonetheless I really had a good time there this year. Thank you everyone who has been there for me in my dark time and lift me up when I was down. I have an art piece in the works from  aerosocks this pic really shows how I felt when I was there. Vent over...

I have a good friend that is an awesome artist that needs your help and if you can go commission her now!  songgoishtar

Well everyone it's that time of the year again ^.=.^ Anthrocon 2013 is less that an month and i am so ready and much needed vacation time away from Texas. as you may know that I got called to the explosion in West,Texas and the twister disaster in Oklahoma. I can never ask for better friends here on FA that supported me in this hard times theses past two months. So.. who is all going to AC this year?

(typing by phone)

Well guys I am here in Moore,Oklahoma helping with the victims of the tornado that hit here, I am really sad to see all this destruction of this magnitude. homes competently leveled, people crying, cars thrown like toys... seeing all these people scared from all of this. I am just amazed that the people are keeping their head up and helping one other, it makes me feel like i am apart of something great to work for something other then myself to help these people. if you can do me a favor, if you have spare change please donate to the Red Cross.. what little money you can spare will make a big difference for the people of Oklahoma. food is really needed here if your town of city has a place to send food here please stop by and send can goods, I have been working with the locals handing out hot meals to families that have lost it all with nothing but there clothes on and what ever they can salvage.

Again i would like to thank each and every one of you for supporting me in this hard time, i do not know what i would do with you guys..

Hello everyone I would just like to say thank you for your unending support and your thoughts after this hard time i had to deal with here in Texas. I have been mellow theses past few weeks and starting to see clearly now. again thank you for keeping me in your hearts and soul.


In other news... I will be heading to Anthrocon 2013 this year and i will everywhere running around with people and friends that i only get to see once a year, and if you want to hangout just let me know. ^^

I cant tell you how deeply grateful I am to have such support from this fandon and to all of my friends here.

I was not prepared on what I am going to tell you now... Around 11pm CST a got a call from my boss that to pack things for the disaster that happened in West, Texas. My head was running high speed to get my things ready in time to go to it. Me and 10 others got the call and met up at my hospiital were a shuttle bus was there and two police escort to take us. I didnt know what to expect but to wait and listen... We didnt get there till 2am the next morning and i didnt get any sleep on the bus ride there, when we got close i looked out the window and saw dozens of emergency medical personnel in the near by area. Most of the people were outside in tents, we came to a stop and got out where we met up with the head of operations telling us where we needed to go, after that we got to work.... At this point i was scared out of my mind, but i had to pull it together to help to thoes who really needed it. Kids with bleeding ears, bruised faces, cuts and saw three of them dead... Mostly the adults got the worst of it some of them knocked out cold with blood everywhere from flying debris. peopel were coming left and right hearing screaming and crying, the horror of this is tragedy is really disturbing on this mass scale... Around noon we got most of the people out of the tents and into near by hospitals, a few remaned for they are waiting to be taken by ambulance to Waco, Dallas and Ft. Worth.

Friday a little girl came up to me with her mom in a wheelchair saying " thank you for saving my mommy..." at that point i wanted to cry so bad, but i held my composure and huged her tighly and then to her mom huging her too... That evening it started to slow down and i had to get away for abit my back against a wall and i just lost it... I cried so hard i didnt want to get up... Everything just caved in on me it really hit me hard in the gut then i thought back to the little girl and her mom i made that family live because of me and i felt.... Well i cant really put this in words on how i felt that moment....

We got sent home that same day and i didnt get back home till late friday... So as of now i am on paid leave for a week to get my head back and to reflect on how many life i have touched and saved...

From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank every one of you for giving the strength and courage that got me though this... As for now i will rest and think....

As of right now i am on emergency relief team to help out with the victims of the Waco,Texas explosion that happen at 8pm CST and on a bus to there now...

Guys please if you can please keep this dragon in your thoughts as i undergo this great tragedy that happened in my state. I don't know what to expect, and mush prepare for the worst.
