Yes, and when I rise to power I will force all those hybrids off the road. Speaking of which, but all of a sudden gas prices have increased and absolutely no one has said anything about it yet?!

So 1, yes I haven't posted anything in a while, don't hate on me >:
Second, I got a serious job now to pay all of those serious bills, so bare with me and I will post more things.

Thirdly, I did have the opportunity to buy Forza Motorsport 3 today, which has a most wonderful amount of new cars for me to totally ravage upon...so there will be more car designs hopefully!

Okay so I just got back from a road trip and I want to put this in perspective for you.

Distance from:
Paris to Berlin -> 653mi
New York to Chicago -> 788mi
Vancouver, BC Canada to Tijuana, Mexico -> 1414mi
My muzzle to your bits -> Depends how big you are :P

I drove just around 2800mi this past weekend so yeah, it was ridiculous. Luckily I drove with one of my friends, so it was actually pretty fun. I ended up taking 1-5 through Oregon and 101 and hwy 1 in California to San Diego which was a beautiful drive, and 101 all the way back up. But the posh hotel in San Diego made up for it, they had outstanding beds. Other than that I stayed in San Fran, which was also great. So thats what I did this weekend, what did you do? :P

Happy 4th Everyone :D Have fun blowing each others paws off, and remember roman candles fire the way you light them :P I made that mistake once. Otherwise, I'll try to get some more car art up sometime >:3

Like, its scary but I'm back. I know its really strange. I saw all of the new advertisements for like fur cons, and magazines that I will probably never read. FA hasn't changed at all. Anyway, if you remember me, sweet, if you don't, I can't blame ya. But don't worry >:3 I'm back...in pink.

Heey if you're reading this then you probobly actually still want to see some of my car designs which is absolutely awesome :D Because that just makes me so much happier. If you're not, I understand Im a sucky artist xD

Annnnnnnyways, long time's passed since I've actually done anything on FA, and I've decided to write this journal entry just to let everyone know that FA is kinda on the back burner now. I play SL a ton now tho so if you want to add me there I'm usually on. Mostly I'll be adding cars here once I have the desire to design them. If anyone wants anything else from me like to talk, IM is the best way to reach me at tail.ed[at]live.com or Torquesammy on AIM. Otherwise, thanks for watching and I hope you furs have a great day :D

Ok, So its all over!! New updates from my life.

First, my research paper is all over ^^. Thankies to everyone who put up with a month of listening to me complain about it. It was 13 pages of pure glory, and In the end I wrote about 30 pages of text, just from the 3 drafts I had of it. Now thats it is over I'm going on vacation :P.

Secondly, I'll be gone from this Sunday, 'till probably next Thursday. I'm going on a college tour in California. I'll be with my mom, so it will be kinda hard to meet any other people. But if you wanna know what I'll be doing or visiting IM me. Also if you know any furs in San Fransisco or LA tell me ^^. It would be awsome if I could meet just one or two. Anywho, I'll be gone then, which means pretty much no chatting. Hopefully one of the hotels will have internet access. I'll be on IM this entire Saturday.

Other than that, just wanna let you guys know I'll miss you all. Thanks fur all the comments, favs and watches I've gotten. I'll be sure to reply as many as I can. Fur now I'll try to finish another car project. Have fun you guys and stay smexy, I'll miss you guys over my vacation. =^.^=

So I have my final draft of my research paper due this Monday. In order for me to do the minimal amount of work possible I'm procrastinating. And I feel kind of bad for not replying to a lot of comments. So I'll get to them all hopefully! ^^

So I just finished my Junior year research paper draft. To sum it up it was 12 pages of annoying literary analysis. I would have much rather ate dirt for two days than work on this paper. But, I finished it finnally, working on it from 9am till 6pm on Sunday... But enough of my complaining. Im gonna start posting again, since I've kind of been out of it lately. I have a couple of cars I need to finish up, and then I'll be open for requests. I'm starting a new system. If you want a car from me, and you don't have Xbox Live or Forza, you can send me a message and depending on how backed up with school I am, I'll make you one. If you send me a car to me on Forza over Xbox Live and ask me to paint it, I will for sure since that requires less time. Once I turn this draft in, I just have to edit it for a final and then I don't have any major projects for homework the rest of the year. Keep it chill and wuv you guys ^^

So I have kind of a bad SL account right now, one of my freinds helped me get an nice avatar. So now I have a good SL account, I have no clue what do tho XD. Im just like walking around for now. So if you wanna talk or w/e just add me. The names FurryTail Faulkes ^^ Don't ask what I was thinking when I thought that up....

Now that I've finished that car I feel much better. I've kind of got a long project list going right now so here's a quick list of what you can expect.
1. Dodge Viper
2. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX
3. Chevrolet Corvette
4. Nissan Skyline R32/R34 (Not sure)
5. Volvo S60R

So is it just me or does it seem that whenever you start to really love someone, it always turns out that something has to break the relationship... I don't know I'm just feeling kind of lost, sad and lonely right now. I hope someone reads this at least. I've got a car coming, don't worry. Luv you guys still :(

So school got canceled today because of like insane amounts of ice. Which is awesome cause all my neighbors were freaking out when they drove around my neighborhood. Anyways, I'm gonna try to finish my Foxy Supra Car today... Hopefully, I wont get too distracted and be able to finish it. In the mean time luv you guys. *giggles and kisses who ever is reading this*

So I've basically been pounded with homeworks the past couple of days which is why I haven't really had time to draw/design something. I basically get 30min to check FA every 3 days so yay... Anywho, I started practicing drawing like everyday now (thank god for boring classes like history where everyone is asleep) I'm trying to do a daily rough sketch (rough being the keyword.) I'll try to upload them as I can but since I have no scanner and my parents wont buy one for a while its gonna most likely be a weekend project. The car's been good, no new speeding tickets X3. Although one of my freinds nearly ran over my car with her huge truck (Its a Ford F350 with the double rear tires..... a house on wheels.) Enjoy what you can for now.

So I found this on  ez-bone ~Ez-Bone's page (Sorry if I can't do the icon linky thingy) And i thought it was so cool I couldn't resist stealing it... He he he

Would you...
1. feel weird if I constantly nuzzled you?
2. love my tail?
3. love cars with me?
4. sit next to me in the car?
5. drive carefully if I let you drive my car?
6. hug me if I had a bad day?
7. talk to me as much as I want to talk to you?
8. dance right next to me in a club?
9. enjoy being constantly brushed by my tail?
10. start dancing to techno any time I turned it on?
11. feel weird if I started talking randomly to you for no apparent reason?
12. bail me out from teachers?
13. save me from my parents?
14. stop me from speeding in school, and not be afraid to go fast on the highway?
15. say 'hi' to me no matter how far we are away?
16. help me work on my car, no matter how late it gets?
17. share in the joy when I clean the car?
18. lay in bed with me and talk about the day?
19. let me wash you in the shower with my shower gel?
20. walk with me when I'm lonely?
21. talk about weird things without feeling weird?
22. lie down on top of me and let me rub your chest?
23. let me rub your back?
24. give you present for the smallest holiday even?
25. let me love you constantly, even if you get tired of me?

So im starting my official list of places where I've danced to music or music in my head.

1. In the shower (with and without radio): For some reason I have to think about techno in the shower and when im dryin off teh fur.

2. Right before you go to bed: I cant sleep im an insomniac furry

3. In the lunchroom: One of my best moments of sophomore year

4. On a bus in Italy: Gawd that was a good night.

5. In an art gallery in Seattle: You know those things that let you listen about network, I hid my Mp3 player behind it and listened to techno, started jumping up and down in front of a painting it was awesome.

Thats all I can think of for now

*Update*

6. On a tennis court before a match: one of my friends actually started dancing too. Good time

Note: My writing style is whack to say the least. You can close this window any time you want :P.

Ok, it has been officially 2008 for 24min and 32 sec (as of me completing this sentence.) I know some people are like meh, so what? I'll tell you whats up, its 2 freakin thousand 8. 2007 is gone and its not coming back! Now thats not a bad thing, but I have some *clears throat* emotional baggage to say the least. So now its my time to say what crap has been going around in my life. You can say that im stupid or whatever but even if nobody reads this im fine with it. It helps me to clear my mind if i just blurt it out. Thats why a lot of people don't like me i guess. But oh well here it goes. Feel free to comment on anything you like, it helps me think too.

First perhaps my worst memory of 2007 (this may have been 2006 but close enough). Plagiarism. (my god i can't actually writing about this, my English teacher would either give me extra credit or tell me to stop, either way it doesn't matter.) About early this year, I was caught copying parts of information off spark notes. Naturally I was caught and got a zero on the assignment. So i had screwed my English grade for at least the semester. If not the year. But i was already doing bad in that so I didn't really care. What really annoyed me was why I did it. I had a really bad addiction to World of Warcraft, i know it was completely sad. When I quit I had a lvl 70 NE priest with so insane armor it scared even me. (Man it feels good to talk about this.) Trust me im going somewhere with this.

The second worst, was when i lost my car "Walter" it was a 2004 volvo s40 that my parents bought for me a couple of months before i got my license. I fell in love with this car, not like the kind of puppy love or something like that but real emotional attachment to this car. I waxed it eight times in the two weeks which I had before i could drive it. Then on the fourth day of driving the car, I was caught doing "burnouts" in the school parking lot by "a concerned parent," Either way, I could give you countless excuses but its in the past now. Im not looking for sympathy either.

Ok now to explain why im kind of going psychotic on all of you. Its because in week or so that I've actually said to myself that I'm gonna be a furry have been some of the best. I think it started after xmas, when i stumbled upon this site. I had been kind of interested by this whole furry idea for the past month, but not until I joined this site did i really think that it was gonna be anything other than one of things you try out. All of the bad things that happened pushed me kind of to be a furry, and now it seems like these past weeks have been the best of the year.

Now here comes the slobby sappy part: The day after I joined this site i had an urge to draw something. So i started drawing my fursona Sam. And then after I posted enough pics of my cars and my sketch I started talking to a bunch of other people. And for one of the very rare times in my life I actually felt a connection. I mean I've had a couple of friends like that, and I can only say that I have one freind like that right now. Most of my friends are just jerks to me and only talk nicely to me when I can help them with homework.

So i just wanted to say thanks, thanks that I became a furry and thanks to everyone that has talked to me on IM. Its been hella good. School is starting, enjoy the new year.
