So apparently FA decided to post my journal before I wrote anything. I must've hit the button on accident.

Anyways, as I've mentioned I have been working a temp IT job thanks to my dad. But apparently the higher ups like the job I've been doing so much that they are considering hiring me part time instead of just as a temp. Basically I'd go in a few days a week to help with the work load and doing the lower level IT stuff so the full time IT guys can focus on more important stuff.. This would kick ass because I would be able to pay off a car as well as be able to go to school while working a part time job that isn't some dead end minimum wage retail job. Hellz yes.

Also I put that  silverclaw1 and I are dating in my profile so people will stop bitching or asking me about it. :V

I haven't posted anything for like a month so I figured I might as well post a pointless life update. Anyways, as the title implies shit has been going pretty good for me recently. I'm starting a new job tomorrow doing IT bitchwork for $12 an hour, I got a girlfriend (in case you actually read my journals you rock gurl <3), and I just have felt pretty good about myself. It rocks.


So how have you been, random people that watch me for some reason? :V

http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Mentova

I have no idea why as I have not done anything noteworthy with my fandom involvement. It literally just says "he lives in MD and has a fox character" with a few links to profiles.

It is very weird. At least they didn't dig up anything personal like my facebook. :V

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3135618/

I have terrible luck and yet and I am spamming you all with this for a chance to win. I am sorry. ;_;

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3072687/

A couple of my buddies are taking a joke too far and are doing something terrible. It's a giant 40 person pic involving people doing pervy things, however everything is implied so don't think it's porn you weirdo. It's 5 dollahz per slot and they've got a bunch left open so go throw some at them or something.

I haven't posted a journal in awhile so I'm gunna give the 3 people who might read this a quick description of my character.

For starters, foxes have been my favorite animal since my childhood, so naturally it was my choice for a character. I dislike how the fandom is over saturated with them, but I'm not going to let that stop me. The name comes from my old online alias. It started with my first Warcraft character that lasted past level 20 (that I still have today. The damn character is like 6 years old by this point). Funnily enough, the name was derived from Mentos. My only moment of brilliance for making a name came from a candy. :C Anyways, there are two different versions of my character:

Standard: This design has been kicking around in my head for a long ass time. I figured I should finally get it down and stuff. This design is more "serious". It is to be used for more serious arts and scenarios and such. The design philosophy behind it was "simple, yet recognizable." I also added the nip to the ear because my german shepherd has one and I thought they are kinda cute; though hers is not as large as my character's.

Cardfox: This was my first official character.  fayv helped me create it. Her character uses a design like this too. Basically, she takes a meaning behind card suites and incorporates them into a fox design. Mine is the 5 of clubs and stands for "friendly and playful". I guess it represents my more playful and goofy side. Because of that and because I believe it would translate better, if I ever get a suit (which after AC I actually do. Oh god what has become of me) this is the design I would use.


On a final note, I'd like to add that since I try to stay mostly on the clean side of the fandom, both forms of my character are not to be in serious porn. Goofy and sarcastic stuff is fine. That stuff is just for poking fun at me and to just be goofy.

Examples of not serious things: Dick in a box jokes, slutfox jokes, things of that nature.

I know I make dumb jokes about wanting my character being in porn so I can become "popufur" and stuff, but they are just jokes. If you use my character in serious porn meant to be fap fodder I will drive to your house and beat you with a tire iron.

First off if you actually noticed I was gone, I am watching my aunts house till Saturday and she has shit internet. I am posting on my phone. Thank Jesus for xbox and RE4 or I would die.

Anyways, I really like the cardfox design and will keep it as an alt, but it was mostly fays idea. I am greatful she helped me out when I had no character, but I feel like I wanna design my own now. That way I'll have something a bit more personal and I can feel more creative and less like I am ripping off her character.

I have some stuff saved in my furry art folder that people have done for me that I haven't uploaded to my page. I'm thinking of uploading them if it is ok with the original artists. Obviously I'll credit them in the submission. :P

If you are NOT ok with me uploading your art that you've done for me, please leave a comment in this journal. If I do upload it before you leave a comment, please let me know and I will remove it.

I donno I'm sobering up and just kinda feel like rambling about some crap

First off I've been thinking about it a lot obviously based on what I've been saying but I'd really like to get a partial suit to see how I like suiting. It probably will be awhile before I get one though because of the monetary investment and I'll probably need to get my own place first. My dad doesn't seem to like it because he made a comment about it before I went to AC. I don't wanna piss him off or anything. Also It's kinda funny how I've slowly gotten more and more furfaggy. It's like a guilty pleasure. I love it but goddamn me wtf.


Let's see. Since I'm so fucking tired of depression I talked to my mom about seeing a therapist about it. She said that there is an old friend of the family that my dad saw a few times that she's gunna see about getting me sessions with. I haven't heard anything about that for a bit but hopefully that will go well. I'm fucking tired of that shit. I hate it so much and I feel like I drive people away with how negative I get. Then again I feel like I drive people away with just being myself anyways seeing as how many times friends just drop me like I'm nothing.

That leads me to another thing. I've been feeling like some of my friends don't really want to be friends anymore. It's an awful feeling and I hope I'm just being pessimistic and reading too much into things but I've had it happen like this all the damn time before it makes it easy for me to pick up on things. Like for example they like, never talk to me or ask to do anything and are always super short with me when we do talk. As if they're not interested in talking to me ya know? And if I ask them about it they're like what yeah I like being friends with you. Shit's fucking weird, and it hurts. Makes me feel like I'm not worth being friends with.

I guess if they do end up dropping me from that group of friends, at least I've met some new people recently thanks to seppy. I hung out with him and some of his local furfag friends and had a lot of fun. One of em are the ones that made me bitchin' new avatar. They all seem like nice people and it's nice to actually have people to hang with since all my old buddies turned to white trash who hang out with 14 year olds and smoke weed all day. Guess it's good I don't associate with them anymore, but like I said above when friends just drop you like that it makes you feel like shit. What can you do about it though? I wonder if anyone is gunna actually read all this lol

The problem is, I don't know how to do it. I'm no artist, I'm not much of a writer, and I don't have any skills I could use to contribute. I want to think of something though. :C

So I got the idea of doing a "let's play" kinda thing. Basically, I stream a game (probably going to be Fallout: New Vegas), but the people in the stream decide what I do. The audience gets to pick the character's skills, personality, what gear I use, etc. As I go through the game you get to pick how I solve quests, if I do the quests at all, or if I just murder everyone.

I thought it would be a fun idea, what are your thoughts?

What if?~
● I died:
● I kissed you:
● I fell:
● I lived next door to you:
● I showed up at your house

unexpectedly:
● I stole something:
● I was murdered:
● I cried:
● I asked you to marry me:
● I was hospitalized:

~Would you~
● Trust me enough to sleep in the same bed as me?
● Keep a secret if i told you one?
● Hold my hand?
● Study with me?
● Cook for me?
● Love me?
● Date me?
● Have sex with me?

~More ~
● When and how did we meet?
● Describe me in three words.
● What was your first impression of me?
● What do you think of me now?
● What reminds you of me?
● Could you see us together forever?
● When's the last time you saw me?
● Are you gonna re-post this to see what I say about you?

 radio-gaz is an evil person and tagged me for this >=[

1. Do you and your "fursona" look alike?
No for I am not a fox man with card symbols on him.

2. Do you and your "fursona" share attires?
There has only been a few pics done of my character where he was wearing clothes. All of them but a certain one done by a certain person who may or may not have tagged me for this are pretty much spot on for what I wear.

3. Do you share the same sexuality as your fursona?
Sure I guess. I don't commission porn or anything of that sort so it's not like it ever mattered.

4. If you changed your fursona to be more like you, how do you think he/she would look?
Glasses, brown hair that is about shoulder length, and make him a bit chunkier.

5. Did you work hard to develop your fursona? What is the (brief) history of your fursona?
I didn't have a character and I liked foxes, so  fayv helped me design a cardfox which is a type of character she does. I'm glad she let me make one because they are adorable, are slightly more original than a standard fox character, and have a little meaning behind them based on the card.

6. Do you and your fursona share relationship status?
Yes and that status is foreveralone :V

7. Do you find yourself jealous or upset if you get paired with someone you don’t like or your partner does?
This has never been an issue and I don't see this ever being an issue. :|

8. How would you like your character NOT to be used?
No porn (unless it's a joke pic and they have my permission) and no fetishy crap.

9. What’s your fursona’s specialty?
Being adorable I guess

10. On a scale of 1-10, how much are you and your fursona alike?
I'll say 5 I guess. It's nothing more than an avatar so it's "personality" is just me, and the only physical thing that is shared is eye color.

Let's see...

-Potentially lost a great friend because I did something stupid
-Missed my chance with the only girl I know who would actually say yes because I waited too long
-Been pissing off my family because I've been in an irritable mood
-Learned I'm not getting a cut of the money from selling the puppies I've been taking care of. They're from my dog too.
-I've had trouble sleeping
-My doctor said I have high cholesterol
-Lots and lots of little shit not worth mentioning

Yup it's been a great few days.

So this is my first year going to a furry con. I was pleasantly surprised at how tame it was. I saw more weird and creepy stuff at the anime con I went to. The only bad things are that I barely have gotten any sleep and I keep getting headaches. Of course there is one day left so who knows what might happen tomorrow.

Anyways, I've been hanging out with Trpderp, Zeke, Jash, Takun, Pine, and Fay mostly. I've also met a few other FAFers. It's been a lot of fun and everyone is really cool. Sadly Deo couldn't make it due to IRL stuffs but she called and we talked for a few hours. :3

Overall it's been a blast and I'm glad that I made the effort to go. I can't wait for next year. I also kinda want a suit now after seeing how fun suiting looks. Fuckin' furries are corrupting me man.

For some reason for awhile now I've been getting a strong feeling that most people on FAF don't actually like me for who I am but only because of those jokes. It makes me feel like I'm just seen as nothing more than a joke/gimmick poster and that they don't really want to be my friend. I'm not sure if this is actually true or not, but either way I'm not really going to do that anymore. They've been getting pretty old old anyways.

For a less depressing update, I'm going to AC for sure now and I've got pretty much all of the expenses except spending money taken care of at this point.

Ask me shit bitches

http://www.formspring.me/Mentova

Stolen from  ZekeShadowfyre

1. Are you a furry?
Yup

2. If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
Nope

3. How long have you been in the community? How did you find furry?
Like 4 years ago. Some assholes on a forum I used to go to convinced me I was one. Then I ragequit the fandom a few times after people weirded me out. I've finally found a good place in it though thanks to some of the cool people I've met.

4. What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
The art and the characters.

5. What's Furry to you?
A hobby. Nothing more.

6. If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
I'd tell them it's a hobby for people who like anthro animals and not make it a huge deal like some idiots do.

7. What are your favorite aspects of our community?
Same as what got me in; The art and the characters.


8. Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
When I'm joking around. I don't use them seriously.

9. What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
A lot of things. Mostly the fetish aspects though.

10. How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
I don't care. There are many legit reasons to dislike the fandom.

11. How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
I don't like it at all as I am not into the things that are usually bashed and I have a pet peeve for being accused of things I am not/did not do.

12. We all know furries have a lot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
People can do whatever they want to get off as long as it does not harm another soul without consent. However, keep your weird ass fetishes out of my face. I don't care about them.

13. What is/are your fursona(s)?
Fox. They're always been my favorite animals. The markings on it are because it is a cardfox, which is a type of character that  fayv does. She helped me design it since I didn't really have a set character before that and I liked her cardfoxes.

14. Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
No and what gets me off is none of your business.

15. If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
I guess if it was temporary? I like being a human being. :|

16. Do you believe you have a spirit animal?
Nope

17. What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
I'm a game nerd, metal/hard rock nerd, Lego nerd, and horror movie nerd.

18. Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
Anthro

19. Are you a fursuiter? If yes, how many do you own? If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
I'm not and don't really have plans to own one. However, I've been slowly warming up to the idea and have seen some suits I really liked. I've just never been super huge into costuming and am not sure if I can pull off the acting part right.

20. How many pets do you own, if any?
I personally own 2 dogs (a dachshund and a german shepherd) but total in the family we have 3 snakes, a gecko, 7 dogs, and a cat. We also have 9 puppies from my german shepherd but they are only with us until they get older and we find them good homes.

21. Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
Typical nerd stuff. I'm also into guns, but because I like target shooting. I'm not a crazy redneck who stockpiles guns and secretly wants to shoot someone. I'm very against killing.

22. Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
Yes. However I don't flaunt it like some furries do. Like I said, it's just a hobby.

23. Do you attend any cons? If no, would you attend any cons? If yes, which cons have you been to?
Not any furry cons. However this year I am going to AC.

24. Do you go to local meetups (bowling, public outings...etc)?
Nope.

25. Have you ever attended a furry party? If no, would you attend one?
I haven't and would not unless I knew the people attending and knew it would not be a giant orgy.

26. Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?
Yep.

27. What furry websites do you attend?
Only FA/FAF

28. What non furry websites do you frequent?
Something Awful, a few wikis for games, and a few mod sites to DL crap.

I've met a lot of cool people that I am very thankful to know.
