Hey there everyone. It's been a while since I made a journal and there's been a bit going on.

Well for starters, I have recently lost all motivation to work hard at my job. I recently applied for a management positon and I got rejected. Four years of hard work and dedication and I get told no. So, from that I have now started to search for a job elsewhere, someplace that rewards hard workers. It really pissed me off and now I don't plan to work hard for them. They lost me.

For my story, it is going amazingly well. The chapters have slowed only because I am working a lot more shifts. They are still coming and won't be stopping, but it could be a 1-2 week pause in between chapters before the next is posted. This one I intend to keep alive ^_^

Now for the fun part. Life. It is going well. I have made some very exciting plans for the future with two very close people to me and I am working hard to get there, but I am doing my part carefully to be safe. I also helped a small puppy today. It got away from it's owners as it ran out the door when they were leaving. It ran in their yard and then turned to run towards the road. I was on the other side of the road and I looked quickly to see if any cars were coming, and fortunately none were. So, I called it to me and it came straight for me. I kept it near me until the owner came over, who was just a 10 year old girl. She and her father both thanked me. I felt rather happy from it.

Oh, I have also have been thinking of an idea. If anyone is interested, I was thinking of maybe forming a MSN based D&D game. I think it'd be fun and it could be a weekly thing or whenever. If anyone is itnerested, give me a shout.

That's about it from me. Lots going on and lots of work. I am enjoying it though for I have a lot of great people supporting me and I can't thank you all enough for it. I truly appreciate it. I just hope to show my thanks back to you all in equal or more amounts.

I have been considering something lately as I have been writing my chapters and I would like all of your opinions about this to those who have been reading it, as well as those who think it is worth mentioning.

As with any good movie, the proper music is crucial to make the scene work and to also give the viewers the right feel for what is happening. (You don't have murder scene going on and have "I'm Singing in the Rain" playing to accompany it). What I was curious about was if anyone would care if I put a song or two during certain scenes, to give it that little push of really feeling the moment?

I won't do it for the chapter I'm finishing right now, but I could try for the next one. Just a small creative thought that need some opinions. Thanks to everyone.

Yes, I am a sheep for following the flock, but it's better to be with a group than be by yourself. I'm following another meme XD

Ask me anything. Be it about me or Daryl, I will answer you. I do have boundaries for how far I'm willing to answer though. So, ask me anything.

So, I went and did this on DM's page and thought it was pretty cool. So, if anyone feels like doing it, you can.

Well, good ol Tori has tagged me. I must now keep the game going, the entire universe rests in the balance of it! (Not sure how to create the icon)

Ok, what you gotta do is post 5 things you really want to do, but don't think you'd have the guts to do normally.

The catch is, you gotta try at least one of them in the next year.

1. Skydive from a plane.
2. Stand up on a stage and perform some sort of play or sing a song.
3. Tell my parents about being in the furry community and what I enjoy about it.
4. Tell a few workers how I really feel when I see them doing absolutely nothing when there are things to be done.
5. To try and make a series of novels for the public to read.

I shall now tag:
Donthegrolar
Aksun
Regiar
Rankthehusky
Mishioshu

Well, here is your chance to know more or possibly have a good laugh, with me. Good ol Grolar got me into this and so, time to get me out XD

Just make any post, almost literally, and I shall answer you with these eigth topics:

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a colour that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.

7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this in your journal

Got unknowingly tagged by robomilk


The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" on their User Page comments and tell them to read yours.

1. I like to hum tunes to myself when I walk to work.
2. I hate the fact that I try to do everything on my own, literally.
3. I like to act out scenes of movies when I am alone.
4. I can listen to the same song over 100 times and not get tired of it.
5. I like to imagine fight scenes when I listen to dance/techno.video game music.
6. If I can smell something odd, I tend to sniff hard, which really wierds my sister out XD

Well then, there you have it. Six things I can only think of that are either wierd or funny, for better or worse. And now I choose you six!

700 pageviews! That's really amazing in my books, since I only have about 6-7 submissions. Hehehe XD Well, almost at 1000 and I think I'll do something special for the one who gets it. Maybe like...a story of their choice or something like that.

Hey all. It's been a while since I did a journal so here's an update.
Well, my big day is slowly coming. What day is that you ask? My b-day! March 1 is my birthday and amazingly, I was 2 hours away from being a leap year baby. So, it is slowly approaching ^_^ PLanning on going to an Italian resaurant for supper and then spenind the rest of the day with my mate and friends ^_^
Well, Maranta's Battle is a huge success in my eyes. I'm liking how it is going and where I will have it go. I'm now trying to make an update once a week. That way the story feels continuous and doesn't make anyone forget what's happening when the next update happens. But, I still am willing to put more people in if anyone wants to join the story or have a part in it ^_^
Work wise, I got the title of Employee of the Month for January ^_^ I got a nice backpack as well as a reward. Definately made my day when I found out.
On Monday, I am going to the Barenaked Ladies concert! Definately a big score in my books. I am six rows up to the right of the stage so I'll be really close and be able to sit (I hate having to see over crowds of heads XD) I've always wanted to see them live.
Well, that's about it for now. It's been really good lately and I certainly can't complain about anything. Thank you, my friends, for also making each day a great time and thank you Aksun, my mate. Your love fills me with great strength.
Oh, Happy Valentine's Day everyone! (In case I can't say so on the actual day) I hope each of you has a happy and love filled day. Remember to tell that special someone how much they mean to you ^_^ I know I certainly will be.

Hello everyone. Well, it's been a while since I've said anything since the new year started. Been mainly busy with work (lots of work) and also some other stuff.

Well, lately as many of you could probably tell, the lack of updates on "Animal-sity" is rather obvious. I'm sorry to announce that I am going to stop writing it. Lately I have been really lacking to continue it. I know why now. Simply put, I don't know entirely where to take it later on. I fear that I will be making a weak story and that the plot will be lacking. As such, it will be put on abolsute hold until I figure some things out.

There is some good news though! I will be making another story though. This one will be good, maybe better than Animal-sity. It is a serious adventure story mixed in a fantasy world. I won't give much away as to what will happen, but now I turn to you all. This story is entirely about furries and nothing but furries. If anyone wants to have a part in this, please send me every bit of information you are willing to give, be it looks to favorite foods to special abilities to professions. The more the better in my opinion. I do have in mind certain people who I would like to see in this, but I'll let you all decide it for yourselves. Just to warn, there will be fights and it isn't your kids story. So, to anyone interested, give me a post, PM, IM or whatever to give me your info ^_^ I appreciate any help you can give. I also hope you all enjoy this story as well.

Also, on a side note, how do I get a new avitar? I have it uploaded, but everytime I click on the new one, it says "Site cannot be found" or whatever. My avitar meets all the requirements, it just doesn't want to load for some reason >.< Thanks for any help here too ^_^

Well, it's almost the weekend and for some, the start of a long weekend. I hope you all have a great time and get some joy from the day. Merry Christmas everyone!

Well, I asked my three questions and now you can ask yours. Go ahead and ask any three questions you want about me, no matter what it is.

Well, ever since I got my paws ahold of the demo version of Final Fantasy XII, I had my doubts that it would be enjoyable. Yeah, I know, it's a demo and demos tend to be far from the actual finished product, but I was hard headed. But then yesterday came and the game was realesed and me being such a fan of the series, I went and got it. I'll just say this: Best decision I made!

Ladies and furs, Final Fantasy XII is one of the best RPG's I have ever tried in a long time (and it's been a while) I'm not far in it in the least, but I can say that this game has drawn me into the world itself. It looks so believable and real as you walk around the cities and such, with people living what looks like believable lives. Plus the graphics are unreal, especially during the CG parts. It has the graphics of that on the PS3 and possibly Xbox360.

Now, the battles still had me curious if they would work out and yes, they do. It works out amazingly well. Think of it as Knights of the Old Republic meets Final Fantasy. That's the best way to describe it to those not fond of Final Fantasy. It's all in real time, but still has the action time bar that FF is known for, with speed affecting how soon you attack or cast a spell. Which also means that running is now down literally. Can't win? Run to the nearest map change zone and you're safe, for the time being, depending where you are.

There's lots more to this but I'll let you all experience this. Trust me, even if you were to just rent it, you'll see the grandure of this game, even if you hate RPG's as well. This shouldn't be passed up nor ignored.

That's right! It's Halloween! Costumes galore and enough treats to make you have nightmares or to gain a few extra pounds. But don't forget those ever elusive tricks *grins* You never know what may be done to you or your unsuspecting friends. *sinister laugh*

Hehehe, well in the spirit of this fun holiday, I'll treat this journal as a house and all who come a knockin will either get a trick or a treat (or maybe both, ya never know ;) ) Have fun everyone and watch out for those drug-sedated candies. Stupid people trying to make kids sick and ruin a good day.

Happy Halloween!

Well, life has certainly been busy on my end.
Classes for me have become harder and my Japanese class is requiring a lot more time and work that I realised. I will admit though, it is incredibly fascinating learning the language because you also have to learn the culture behind it, which is something I always enjoy learning about ^_^ My Psychology classes are doing well, but one is getting into the biology of the brain. In my opinion, ewwww and boring. I hate biology and I have a weak stomach XD

Now, about my story. I want to appologize for the extreme pause between the chapters. I have been trying my best to get it finished. It will be done real soon, I promise. To those waiting for it, I thank you for your patience. This next one is going to set up the story I had envisioned initially.

Lastly, real life has been good. I am becoming closer with a good friend and we are now planning to meet. Me and her are getting along really well and I have fallen in love with her, with her also loving me too o^_^o It looks like I may have found my other half. I really gope so. I've also been starting to reasearch more about my future store and it comes ever closer, even if slowly, to being an attempt of being real.

Well, that's all for now. Life has been busy, but in my opinion, I have never felt happier than ever before. Talk to you all later ^_^

Well, I caved in and decided to let everyone know about my character and about me a bit. Hope you all enjoy and if any other questions arrive, just ask ^_^

We're very friendly, helpful, conscientious, caring, loyal, outgoing and loves a good laugh.

He is stronger than me, he's got a bit more muscle on his upper body and he isn't as serious about some topics I am serious about.

9. If your character could speak, would they have the same voice as you?
Yes. It would either be very similar or just a tiny bit deeper.

10. If you were to suddenly become your character, what do you think would be the first thing you would do as them?
So many options, but I'd probably play with my inflatability ^_^

Nothing comes to mind

12. What advantages does your character have over you?
He is stronger and can manipulate wind.

13. What disadvantages?
He's too outspoken at times and he can rush things way too quickly.

He has a very interesting past and the village he grew up in is one of a kind (seriously)

24. If you met your character in real life, what would you do with him or her?
Offer him a place at my house and let him stay, then inflate and talk with him.

Well, my mind has been brainstorming a lot ever since I started on my story and now I'm thinking about making a game based on the furry world. In fact, it is in production. The catch? There's two:
A) It's an RPG
B) It is being done with RPG Maker 2 for the SNES (I am using a ROM and emulator to do this for those wondering)

Now, the unfortunate part is there isn't any character sprites to make the characters look like furries, but it isn't stopping me. Anyways, I thought you guys would be interested in knowing this. Now, I am wondering if anyone would like to make some sort of appearance in it? I can't promise you will be a character used, but I can make you appear somewhere.
Well, I'll have updates on its progress. I hope that this turns out as well as I plan. So, if anyone is interested, give a shout, response or some sort of indication and I'll get you in. Oh, and to make it easier, please tell me the name you want to go by in this and what your "animorph" is. Thanks in advance

As for my story, do not panic. I will not stop in its production. I appologise for the delay of the next chapter. My classes have proven more difficult then I intended, which has resulted in getting only a little time to work on it. The next chapter is coming and it will be interesting, I assure you.

Well, things have been somewhat hectic on my end recently.
Alright, first off, my story. For those who are reading it and are awaiting the next chapter, it is almost done. Real life has been getting busy and has somewhat slowed me down to keep the story progressing at a normal rate. But I assure you, it is coming. Just a bit of patience is needed. Thanks ^_^

Now, about what's been happening. Well, first off, I got promoted! *cheers and jumps* As a result, I now have more and longer shifts. I am now Head Supervisor at my job and I am enjoying it very much ^_^
Unfortunately, there has been some bad things going on. Well, my parents divroced (a year ago) and unfortunately, things are still not that great. They each complain about small things and it's starting to really get on my nerves. But, I just hide it and act as the man of the house (I live with my mother and sister) *sigh* I hope it all ends. I'm not enjoying hearing each one complain/offend the other. What's worse, me and my father aren't getting along that well either. I'm just trying my best and that's all that I can do.

Well, that's my story for the time being. Thanks for listening and (hopefully) understanding. The next chapter is coming and this time I'm making sure it is proof read carefully ^_~ Till next time

Well, why not? I'll play the 5 questions game. Go ahead and ask me five questions. I'll answer them honestly. If you can't think of 5, then ask me as many as you can think of.

Yep. I've been a lurker for a while and I thought I would finally get an account.

Hmmm, what to say...Well I'm a nice guy, I get along easily with other people and I love furry art (who'd have guessed?). Especially the inflation/WG types. I also like to RP. Nothing better to get me in a good mood than a good rp. Not sure what else to say, but if oyu have questions, you may ask. I won't hide anything.

You won't be seeing many drawings from me, but I am in the process of making a novel that will entail furries. Once I get most of the details worked out, like characters, plot and settings, I'll post the chapters here as they go along. I'm hoping everyone will enjoy it. Well, that's all for now. I hope to meet new friends and enjoy my stay. ^_^
