Thank you

On this day, April 5th 2019,  dogbomb has passed at age 55, after a long battle with ALS (or Lou Gehrig's disease) and years of contributing towards finding a cure.

Regretfully, I must say that i did not know Dogbomb much myself, having only discovered him back in December and only spoke with him once. Nonetheless, I saw him as a good friend and, like many no doubt, am thankful to have known him at all.

I think the key words here are 'gone, but never to be forgotten'. I think I can safely say that Dogbomb was an inspiration, someone who always seemed to keep pushing no matter how much life pushed back and I've little doubt he will continue to do so posthumously.

A dear friend of mine has a saying that I think describes the man perfectly: A Lamp Shining In The Darkness.

Here's to you, Dogbomb...

When I first became active here on FA, let alone in the community as a whole, I didn't think it would last long, let alone have anything to show for it. Nor would I have expected there to be even one person who would have taken so much a glance at my creations, or my characters and find genuine enjoyment in them.

Yet, this is what appears to be happening, how many or how few doesn't matter, it means a ton that my works seem to evoke something in my readers and watchers...even if it takes time before I'm able to appreciate those works.

I understand that I may not be the most approachable at times...and it does tend to take more than a bit of time for me to get something done - I did spend two years and three months on a single chapter after all. I understand that I tend to be more than a little stubborn and self-critical than is necessary. So I am humbled that you all were still there in spite of that.

...Getting to the point now, I would like to say - to all those following me, watching me to those artists who's services I've commissioned, to those fellow writers who have been kind enough to offer a second opinion or constructive criticism or to anyone who somehow manages to stumble across my page or this journal. I would just like to say...



THANK YOU
for your encouragement and support
over these past six years.

And perhaps, in the years to come...

After having taken  Bering 's BuddyMeter quiz, I decided to try my hand at making one myself. For the most part, I think I did alright.

This was in use from the 1960s to the 1990s before finally dying off, so I'm sure more than a few of us are old enough to remember these or the music played on it:

Either way, it is a good example of why older technology holds a certain appeal.

For those celebrating it. I think these may be quite scrumptious. I don't usually post recipes (I think I posted one of my own awhile back, then never did it again), but I figured, why not link a couple.

Yes, really.

I guess if simeone tried this again now, there would be pieces expressing frustration at an update or that Windows 10 exists...

So as some of you guys already know, I had a bit of an epileptic episode on the day I was supposed to head to up to Megaplex (and my 24th birthday, but whatever) which dislocated my right arm.

This slight incoveniance didn't stop me from making the convention anyway (albeit a day late) and enjoying it greatly, I made a point to hit all of the writing panels, especially the Thursday prompt.

Started off the following day on a high note with the Greymuzzles' breakfast arranged by  Vixyyfox and  Vrghr, the buffet was nice, though there was a need to ambush the waiters once the bill was paid.
There was also a meet for vegan and vegetarian furs a few hours later which was an pleasantly unexpected surprise and I ended the con by catching the concert Fox Amoore and Pepper Coyote had put on.

Overall, I think it exceeded the last con I went to (and Megaplex '16 was hardly a slouch in that regard.) Despite having a rough start and missing a day.

I'll probably start uploading what photos I took there either in the next few days or when my arm is mended, which I'm still able to use within a more limited range of motion.

None the less it will probably be at least four weeks until the sling comes off and a few more before I'm fully recovered, so my activity on FA, SF etc. will be more on the down low until then.

This won't effect my work on the story that much, so long as I've the motivation, largely though, I'll be resting and maybe using the extra time to finally finish some of the books I've had my nose in for the past year or so.

Khaírete, this is going to be a difficult journal to write; so I hope whoever reads this is able to bear with me.

Lately, things have been rather tumultuous emotionally. In November, I had unexpectedly relapsed into depression, my worldview overlapped with cynicism and self-hate. Despite that however, I continued to be active in the community of FA and continued to slave over the first chapter of Shadows, just as I am doing at the time of this entry.

Then I had to put that aside for two weeks in favour of a trip to Wyoming to spend time with my fiancee and I came back disappointed in myself, feeling that any infliction upon myself, be it emotional or physical, was ultimately warranted. The end-of-year depression was still very much present and I feel like I failed someone important to me, even though they say otherwise - something I cannot help but feel is a pale facsimile.

In truth, I feel I'm an indecisive shell of a man, ravaged by aspergers syndrome, depression and cynicism; parts of me wired in a way that most would likely call abnormal. I feel I am only just starting to truly uncover my potential though and that could possibly lead to better things.

On the subject of Megaplex 2018, I'm still uncertain on weather or not I will attend, I still very much wish to. Its the source of part of this present bout of depression I believe. Nice thing about future events such as that though, is that there is no real way to predict what will happen, perhaps I may end up there after all and if that should be the case, then I'd be honoured.

Likely, this has come off as a twenty something whinging and rambling about his problems so early in the morning on the second day of the new year. In that case, I'm not sure who would read this to completion.

On that note, I wish everyone a happy new year.

I wasn't that fond of how bloated my profile info was. So I changed a few things.

I removed the wall of quotes, nice as it was; it took up far too much space.

I also moved Hania's bio over to the info of his reference sheet. It cuts down on space and it feels more appropriate.
