Yes I'm Staying
General | Posted 9 years agoI have a weasyl account, Twitter, tumblr, and now a new Furry Network account here . I also have a new Picarto account here for streaming.
In regards to the recent incident...alright let's get this over with. Am I upset? Yes. Am I leaving? No. Reason? Connections, friends, maybe some nostalgia. Please, there has been enough rage, hate, and violence. Let's leave it at that.
Phew! Ok now that's out of the way, I'm still considering a day when to do streaming since I've got just about everything ready. I'm thinking either Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. What do you guys think?

Signal Boost Toughset
General | Posted 9 years agoTerms and Conditions / Anthrocon
General | Posted 9 years agoDue to so many people rushing into requesting things I either can't or don't feel comfortable doing, I have create a few guidelines to give you an idea of what my boundaries are. This is not because of any one person, but after years of miscommunication, I felt it was time for something semi official. These are NOTHING absolute as I am still finalizing them. I wanted to be as fair as possible without sounding like an arrogant bastard. X3 But I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter if you would like to share. I'm always looking to improve and be fair to nearly everyone.
On a different note, it is confirmed: I AM GOING TO ANTHROCON!! I have my leave all but approved and a new suitcase in need of a field test. Unfortunately my mother does not share my excitement, thinking that I'm going to get robbed or worse. I reassured her that I would be fine. That didn't seem to help much, but not her decision. Mine, and I will accept any consequences that may result. Anyways, I'm super excited for this trip! :3 Maybe I'll see some of you guys there. That is all. :3

Fur the More 2016
General | Posted 9 years agoSo I checked out Fur the More and wow why the hell didn't I book a hotel room? I loved it! Everyone was quite friendly, the venue was great, and the dealer's den was awesome. Sadly, I didn't have time to attend panels or events due to craziness at home. I was able to get my first fursuit hug (all be it from behind sitting on a couch). It was actually quite enjoyable. <3 Kinda like hugging a big fluffy blanket. Again, my shyness kept me from talking too much, but it was less severe than at FAU. I did manage to chat with some of the furs there and overall I am glad I went. Even with the freak snowshowers that suddenly popped up. x3 Gotta love eastern shore weather. Anyways, I'm sad I didn't get to stay, but it only makes me more excited for Anthrocon in a few months! Why is it so far away?! ;_; Anyways, sorry that I couldn't be there longer. See you all next year hopefully! That is all. :3

General | Posted 9 years agoWell technically I'll be scoping it out since it's nearby and it's somewhere I frequent quite often. I'll be going around on Friday and possibly Saturday. :3 That is all.
Thanks for the Birthday Wishes! ^^
General | Posted 9 years agoHad a fantastic bday this year and I just want to thank everyone for their birthday wishes. Some of you even got me gifts. <3 I love you guys. That is all. :3
Today Be My 26th Birthday
General | Posted 9 years agoYup, I'm 26 today and I just have to say thank you to everyone who have been so kind to me over the years. I never forget you and I hope to share many more years of craziness with you all. I love you guys. <3 That is all. :3
T-MINUS 9 DAYS TILL BDAY
General | Posted 9 years agoALSO THE CAPS LOCK IS STUCK SO EVERYTHING I TYPE IS LOUD AND EXTREMELY VISIBLE!
X3 Kidding. Oh and my promotion is confirmed just need to fill out the paperwork. ^^ I know it'll probably mean more work, more stress, more long hours, but well worth it I think. Got some ideas in the works for stories and drawings. Might rework my request/trade system soon. It doesn't seem to be working too well, so I'll have to figure something else out. That is all. :3

I think I'm getting promoted!
General | Posted 9 years agoOMG OMG OMG OMG!!! I can't believe it! Been working for a whole year and finally I'm getting my first ever professional promotion! It hasn't been by any means easy mind you; worked my ass off so hard I made myself sick, had to deal with a crazy ass coworker who seems to be bent on making everyone miserable for fun, being bored out of my mind some days and all that other crap. But now it's finally paying off. I'm so happy right now! ^^ That is all. :3
T-Minus 21 days till bday
General | Posted 10 years agoYes I am going to count down till my birthday. :D Got a couple sketches to color, stories to write, and a lot of stuff to deal with at work. My folks will be out of town this week, I need a break from them to be honest. Downside: the family hyperactive dog is with me x3 So give and take. I'm going to a creative writing group tomorrow to meet people, hopefully it work out better than last time. Wish me luck. That is all. :3
Birthday Countdown Begins!
General | Posted 10 years agoT-minus 26 days till my 26th bday. :D That is all.
Ow
General | Posted 10 years agoOk so last night, I felt really sick in my stomach, puked twice (that hasn't happened in years) and woke up six times in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Now I'm stuck in my bed, trying to keep myself hydrated and calm. Gonna take things slow today (God knows I need that.) So, hopefully this will pass by Monday.
Oh almost forgot: Happy Valentine's Day everyone! That is all. :(

A Serious Question Regarding Stories
General | Posted 10 years agoWhat format would you guys prefer? The reason I use Word is that I can keep all of the formatting details I did when I'm writing. But I also know that it's not easy to view on some devices, nor is it very convenient for some people. I don't want to leave anyone out, so I'm asking publicly what format would work best for you guys? That is all. :3
Social (slightly ranty)
General | Posted 10 years agoSo my parents keep telling me I need to be more social, like other than getting up, going to work, heading home, watch tv, go to bed. It's been two years of that and to be honest I think they have a point. Talking with people online's great, but it doesn't really substitute for enjoying people's company in person. I love all of my online friends and some day I hope to meet you all in person. But right now, I need some kind of interaction. At least someone who could help pay for an apartment, living at home is getting dicey. The main issue is me.
Let me explain: Usually people are pretty trusting of others. It's in human nature to be, it's a vital evolutionary trait. Mine seems to be broken though since grade school due to circumstances I had no control over; everyone who ever became my 'friend' turned out to either just want to take advantage of me or moved away soon after meeting me. (Thanks for nothing, Catholic school) High school I had better luck for a few years, but now I only really stay in contact with a few people from that group. College...well I definitely was socially active thanks to my roommates. But after that...nothing. No exciting weekends, no going out, no game nights. Nothing. I was obsessed with getting a job, thinking it would solve all of my problems. Yeah, not so much.
So now I'm again at a crossroads. I want to meet furs in real life for sure, but I also want other groups of friends for my other interests as well. I'm tired of being alone, tired of being angry, tired of being scared what others think of me and I'm tired of saying 'oh I just need to wait'. Screw waiting, I'm acting while I still can.
Phew! Ok just needed to vent that. I try not to do that as often, but I needed to say it nonetheless. Sorry about that. X3 So, to end on a positive note, thanks to everyone who's stuck with me through the years. You guys are awesome and I wish to meet you in person one day if I can. That is all, I'm off to do wolf things. :3

Organization
General | Posted 10 years agoSo it's no secret I'm not exactly...consistent when it comes to turn around times with requests and trades. That's due to a host of reasons: anxiety over getting things right, procrastinating, work, family life, etc. These are by no means excuses; rather explanations as I feel they are needed. Things have become busier since I graduated and got my current job. But I think I'm finally making progress in organizing everything. Since I'm actually using the tools I got for just this purpose. So yay! :)
In terms of drawing, I think I'm improving with my anatomy as my bodies seem to be becoming more solid rather than just fluid. The next challenge will be making my art less 2D. Or to put it more bluntly, I want to make my art more three dimensional as I feel that would be a significant milestone. I feel I'm getting closer, but due to my crazy schedule it's been hard to get much practice in. Nevertheless I keep striving to improve. If anyone has tips on that front, that would be great. That is all. :3

Folders
General | Posted 10 years agoSo I finally got around organizing stuff into these folders to help people with navigation of my gallery. I decided to divide submissions into easy categories (My Art, Not My Art, Literature, etc) so people can get to what they want to see easily. I don't think I'll be organizing the old SL pics because there's really no point and frankly I'm lazy so. :D On another note, I think I might be getting sick due to all of the stress caused by the events that took place during the snowstorm. I think I'm just gonna relax today, see if I can catch me breath so to speak. That is all. :3

Blizzard
General | Posted 10 years agoYup, as some of you may know a blizzard is heading for Maryland where I live. It is going to dump nearly 2 feet of snow on the ground and possibly knock out power. My dad bought a generator that's only powerful enough to run a space heater, maybe a few lights and that's about it. That's assuming the power does go out though, hopefully it does not. Everyone on the eastern seaboard of the US; stay safe, stay warm, and stay fuzzy. You're gonna need it. x3 That is all. :3
Streaming
General | Posted 10 years agoAnyone got any tips for someone looking into it? Especially since I'm a novice drawing artist and mainly a writer? That is all. :3
Trello Board is Up!
General | Posted 10 years agoI decided to make a Trello board because...in all honesty, with so much going on lately it's hard to keep myself accountable for things. Plus I get alot of people asking 'hey how's my request/trade coming?' Well now you can know by looking here . I should be making regular updates so you will know exactly where I am on certain stuff. I feel this will help me be more productive...or could be potentially annoying. One of those. x3 That is all. :3
Oh Right the New Year's Thingy X3
General | Posted 10 years agoHappy New Year everyone! I spent the night with the family having a tasty meal and a super sugary cupcake. <3 Anyways I actually do have a new year's resolution this year. I have wanted to do more in the ways of writing and drawing since my output flatlined for a good few months due to my job and craziness at home. So I have decided to make it my goal to set aside time each week to dedicate just to writing and drawing. It won't be easy as I have locked myself in a pretty airtight schedule for months. But I'm confident I can do it given the right circumstances. ^^ That is all. :3
Happy Holidays!
General | Posted 10 years agoJust wanted to wish you all Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, etc! :3
Quick Update
General | Posted 10 years agoYeah I'm still here. X3 Busy couple of weeks with my brother home for the holidays, getting a new pc and fighting with it to make it work, not to mention my job has been super stressful thanks to some dumb decisions made by first time managers. My productivity is pretty low right now and I'm sorry about that. I have been trying to squeeze in time to write and draw, but the intensity of this past month has left me exhausted.
Good news though: I took off the whole week after Christmas to give myself a breather. I need it badly, especially since I missed MFF. (Which I'm still kind of bumped about by the way) Just two more weeks and I get a whole week to relax. That is if my mother doesn't suddenly decide that my family needs to do something over that period of time. X3 That's all for now, here's to a great holiday season! :3

Now on Weasyl!
General | Posted 10 years agoSo I decided to finally get my head out of my ass and expand out past just one art site. Cuze let's be honest, these days you kinda have to. So now, my Weasyl account is official. Now don't expect as much content as here, but I'll be posting some of the my stuff up there in case anyone is interested. As for other sites, I'm not sure. I don't want to get overwhelmed. So yah, go look! :D That is all. :3
