i'm rethinking this submission http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17209054/
maybe i should go back and "mature" it? monet is a hardened criminal, and i'm concerned about her image affecting the impressionable youth. i don't want any children on here thinking the criminal lifestyle is "cool" or "glamorous" because they saw a picture of my terrible felon of a dog on the internet.

any thoughts?

i don't really have much to say, i just haven't made a journal in like....literally over a year. i just thought i'd push the old one off my front page.......

yo.

also you may notice that i've actually been posting more than once every couple months. that's bc i've been drawing an increasingly large amount of furry content lately. it's probably at least somewhat the fault of animal crossing, for reminding me how much i love cute colorful animals.
anyway, whatever the reason, i feel like this is good. it feels like i'm getting back to my roots.

okay i searched "jaspersprite" on here and my fanart showed up but I DIDN'T EVEN TAG IT WITH JASPERSPRITE????? I DIDN'T EVEN MENTION HIS NAME IN THE DESCRIPTION, HOW DOES IT KNOW???
how does fa's search feature even work, what the heck

also hi
i'm going to youmacon and also probably mff
sup

i just feel like making asinine journals here every now and again

I was bored and started looking up what names were and weren't available on FA because I could, I need no justification.

Sorry, crashbandicoot is already taken. I don't know why that was my first search, as I have played those games maybe twice in my life.
You still can have pinkyandthebrain, so that's good news I suppose. You can also have twostupiddogs if 90s cartoons that no one remembers nor cares about is your thing.
Snoopy and Woodstock are already taken, obviously. Who wouldn't want to be them?
You could have anthropomorphic if you don't mind being fairly redundant. (anthropomorphISM is already taken, though)
Scrappydoo is miraculously available. ...WOW WHAT THE HECK scoobydoo is available too! And you could also get your friend to sign up as scoobysnack if you want to do some sort of weird vore- wait never mind I don't like where I'm going with this.
CSI is taken. Clearly this person is the master of irony. Irony is also taken, in related news.
At this point I started searching various pokemon. You can have the following: dugtrio, diglett, salamence, ludicolo, shroomish, mrmime
The following are already taken: lucario, pikachu (duh), both raichu and rIAchu, all first gen starters and all their evolutions, oddish, jigglypuff (Who is banned. No doubt for mischief involving putting people to sleep and drawing yiff all over their face), jynx, bidoof (Also banned. I'm sure that anyone who elects to name themselves after that thing deserved it. Haha.)

So yes, if you ever want to shed your original identity and become a pokemon or something NOW IS YOUR CHANCE

Hey, would anyone be interested in buying some leftover prints and stuff from Youmacon? There will be some lovely discounts, of course.

IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED, I CAN UPDATE THIS JOURNAL WITH PRICES.

Okay, so  neonslushie was lovely enough to purchase the two of us an artist alley table at Youmacon (an anime convention)

and I still have yet to pay her back for my half for the table. I'm really sorry, Mufasa! I feel like such a deadbeat. I have essentially no money right now because I'm a loser of a 16-year-old with no job experience who isn't good at finding myself a job. I also don't want to ask my parents for money because I really think that I should be paying for this type of expense. (plus, I mooch off them enough already)

SO, GETTING TO THE POINT, if any of you kind folk would happen to want to
commission me.... well that would be super kind....
If you don't have any money to spend, you could still maybe advertise me??
Hurr asking for commissions always makes me feel very lame, but I'd really like to stop being such a loser for a minute so that I can pay back my dear friend.

So I went out into the kitchen to go get a glass of rootbeer.
I come back to the computer desk to notice that I had already prepared myself a big ol' glass of koolaid less than 5 minutes ago and had yet to drink it. I then drank both the rootbeer and the koolaid. I had to pee really bad after that.

I tell you this probably because I wanted that big, fat journal from ages ago bumped off

but mostly because I like pee stories.

OKAY, NO NEED FOR ANYMORE RESPONSES
Thank you guys so much! I can't believe how many responses I got! I truly appreciate how helpful you guys were.


For my sociology class, we have to write a big paper throughout the entire trimester. I chose furries as my topic, haha.
If you've never read these http://www.visi.com/~phantos/furrysoc.html http://www.furrysociology.net/report.htm , they are pretty interesting. And if you have a TON of time on your hands: http://www.furcenter.org/pubs/SF_2008.pdf

To make this clear, this is a fairly anonymous survey. No specific names or usernames will be mentioned within my paper, obviously.
Tell me if you have any problems with this survey, or if you see any possible mistakes.

It would also be x10 helpful if anyone wants to advertise my survey, too. You could just link to this journal. I would appreciate it sooooo much!

Hopefully these prices are satisfying and reasonable.
I'll add in more examples soon, I swear.

If you are interested in buying one, it would be super-duper if you could email me at pix-the-espeon[at]hotmail.com or just send me a message here.

I would....take commissions if anyone is interested. Maybe??
They'd be for pretty cheap.
Interested? Y/N?
