COYOTE HATH RETURNID.. breifly
Posted 5 years agoI currently have a touch of insomnia so... heck it... time for a journal update. its been years and i use this account almost entirely for browsing. Life has been so busy the last decade... "gosh... how has it been a decade?" Guess i should do a proper touchstone some day but ... seems that incomplete coyote story was liked even though the story behind the story is almost stranger than the fiction.
But first how about i give everyone a little introduction. god knows who even reads journals anymore, but i guess for the stray people who do find me and are curious, i do live. I exist mostly offline working on my novel project, sleeping, and working 40 hours a week. Add in a few side projects and life chores of organization ( such as trying to create an effective storage on my pc for all my image files and photos and word files) ... and well.. not much free time. I try to give that over to my friends whenever possible and in the moments when i am not a tv/movie-holic; i may actually have time be social.
Corona really sparked a resurgence of online socialization. unlike in the past when i was spending a lot of time online, or between friends in my offline life. I sort of had the real life eclipse my online chatter over the last decade (there are a variety of reasons, no single one, even if a few take lions shares for my more anti-social life changes). in recent years the old school yahoo/msn/aim became skype which then became telegram. Though the majority of furs i seem to chat with are local or newly met and sadly many more old online friends i have lost touch with. Even some new people that popped into my life for a time, have somewhat dried up.
These days i like to pretend that i have a ton of friends more than 20 years ago. Yes it it is true; though it sort of is about degrees of interests shared and levels of friendship held. So most of my friends are fairly causal people i chat to friendly, see if i get a chance, or may only see online. About 20 people i game with or hang with whenever their schedules align (usually a few times each a year) and i have about 5 very good friends i see as much as i can and one or two i spend a lot of my weekends hanging out with. i guess this shifted from online life where most of my friends were never met, tended to be at the ready whenever i got home from collage, and now most of my friends now are from people local, people ive met, or a few very special friends who did stick around loyal and long.
im nothing but a dusty yote now so im glad to have the company as i walk through life. even new folks who just say hi, brightens my day a little. god knows we all need some of that right now. The world has changed, the internet and culture has changed, and a lot of change is happening right as i speak (google the date this gallery is posted and you will know what i mean if you find and read this in the distant future). hello future self and future people.
These days socially; i own a cozy little telegram group which is composed of about 50% locals, 30% surrounding pacific north west area, and Hell i started off way back in 2002 on wolfhome graphical chat, when i first moved to collage. coming up on 20 years ago now which is very freaky. a lot has changed, especially me, but part of that old me still exists. i think wolfhome even still exists in some reincarnation. Though back in the day i was a young socially starved and inexperienced teenager, alone in big bad scary new collage town. My how times have changed. I cant believe i can have nostalgia for back then, but i do frequently. We never know whats important until its suddenly gone.
on that note i should dash. get this insomnia covered as i work tonight in just a few short hours and need my sanity in tact. I will maybe post a true story sometime, if i feel like anyone would want to hear a few short cliff notes about what has been going on. For one, time tends to slowly add funereal experiences. Yet it also brings with it strength and maturity and a docile mellow i never had when i was new to the fandom.
