More on my real life workout goals.
Posted 8 years agoAt this point, since
djdarkfox keeps making his characters bulkier and bulkier, I think now I can say my goal is both the mass AND the definition/vascularity of one of his drawings.
It's been a rough few years for various life and health reasons, but things are turning around at last, fortunately. I blab about this a little bit more on Twitter than I do here, so updates will be more frequent on there. At this point I'm focusing more on really trying to lose the bodyfat (especially since I put some on over the past couple years), while maintaining the bulk I have. Then once I'm a decent level of lean, more focus on bulking again.

Posted 13 years agoI've just booked my plane tickets for FC 2013, so everything is now set, and I will be attending, once again in the company of
ideno.

MFF 2012
Posted 13 years agoI shall be attending MFF 2012. Flights are booked, hotel room is reserved, and membership is purchased. I shall be in the company of my honey bunny
ideno, at least when he's not out gallivanting as a deer.
Let me just remind you all of a couple of my requests, for the good of the fandom and the convention:
1. Don't babble about how drunk you are/were/are going to be. Having been to a few cons at this point, I can authoritatively state that almost certainly you are not as drunk as you think you are, and nobody thinks it makes you look or sound cool. If you can speedwalk across the hotel lobby and talk without slurring a word, you are at most a little buzzed.
2. Engage people in conversation, but don't just talk at them, especially uninvited. I know there are a lot of lonely furries in the fandom, and we're a very welcoming group, but nothing creeps people out than an unknown person wandering up and inflicting words at them. Introduce yourself and make friends, but realize that no one else lives in your mind. Conversation is a two-way street.
3. And remember the 6/2/1 rule. Six hours of sleep, two meals, and one shower, at a minimum, every day. Preferably eight hours, three meals, and as many showers as are indicated based on your activity level, every day.
4. And have fun. That's the most important thing.
See you all in Chicago.

MFF 2011, and my requests of con-goers.
Posted 14 years agoIs this really the first journal I've written here? How neglectful of me. But on to business:
MFF was very awesome. I met some new folks, and hung out with lots of folks I've known for awhile, but many of whom I hadn't talked to so much in the past year. It's great to catch up with everyone.
And the amount of random furries being irksome was pretty low. But I would like to recommend two things to con-goers out there that I would like to see catch on:
1. Stop babbling about how drunk you are/were/are going to be. It's fine to enjoy drinking and its various effects, but really, if you speed-walk past me without tripping over yourself, and then talk about how hammered you are without even slightly slurring, then I know you are just a little buzzed. I know you think it makes you look cool to talk like this, but all it does is tell us you don't really know what being drunk is. And whether you're a little buzzed or actually falling-down drunk, nobody's impressed. These are not difficult things to do, especially at a furry con.
2. And don't randomly start talking to me about whatever happens to be on your mind if I don't know you. It's great to have conversations that are back-and-forth (that's what conversations are), but if you just walk up to me and start talking about your drive down or your latest purchase or something about which I have nothing to say and no reason to be interested in, all I'm going to do is want to get away from you, keep looking away hoping you'll get the hint, and then mock you when I do get away. I'm sure the fourteen hours you spent driving to the con were interesting to you, but that doesn't mean it warrants even fifteen seconds of attention from a complete stranger.
But that cynicism aside, I greatly enjoyed myself, and am looking forward to Further Confusion in January.
