Since that fursuit thing was very intrusive, I figured I'd get this out of the way so that it can linger on my user page for a while.

I've posted it on here before, but it seems that since Animal Crossing: New Leaf came out a lot of new people have decided to get themselves a 3DS, so for those who didn't add me when I posted it a couple of years back, my code is 1633-4199-2534. If you want to add me, feel free, and drop your own code off in the comments.

I've also got a PS3 and Wii U. On both, my user ID is DamianTanuki, so feel free to add me and let me know if you do so and tell me your own ID so I can accept it.

I'm planning on using my old Wii pretty much purely as a Gamecube from now on because it takes up less space than the real thing, so there's not much point in looking that up, though I do still have it online so if anyone wants to play some Brawl or something then we can orginise that ourselves.

It's no secret that I don't normally do this kind of thing, but my last journal was for my birthday (which is the first day of the year, so it's been a while). I should really be more active on here.

On another note, I was tagged in this thing by

1. What name do you go by when suiting?
Damian, as I do always. The character is essentially just me but a little more exaggerated

2. What is the name of your suit(s)?
Damian Tanuki.

3. Do you have a full or a partial suit?
Full suit. I dunno why but I've always found it hard to get into character properly with only a partial on.

4. What animal is your fursuit?
As the name may very well suggest, it's a tanuki.

5. What color is most of your suit?
Various shades of brown.

6. Does it have any special designs?
Nothing out of the ordinary. If anything it's very simple considering the types of fur patterns tanukis actually have.

8. Does your suit have any accessories? (piercings, weapons, etc.)
While myself and the character wear glasses and an ear piercing, I don't actually have them incorporated into the suit yet. All I wear over it is the blue bandana.

9. How long have you been fursuiting?
It'd be about 3 years now.

10. How long have you had your current suit?
The body I've had for the full 3 years, head mk.II I've had for just over one, forepaws about 2. It's a bit of a mishmash of different periods.

11. Is the suit you have now your first fursuit?
Sort of. Bits have been upgraded, and a couple of them are fairly major parts.

13 Who made your fursuit?
Shadowsani/ Blue Fox Fursuits. She's on a different account now, but I think the Blue Fox thing is still active.

14. Synthetic fur, or real fur?
Synthetic. Not so much that I have anything against real fur, but holy crap would that be uncomfortably hot.

15. Do you have a moving jaw?
It does not. I would like the next one to, though, since I do talk a lot in suit.

16. If yes, how many teeth?
It's got the lower set, two fangs and a couple of others.

17.Furthermore, does your mouth have a tongue?
Despite not opening without being forced, it does. A nice touch.

18. Follow-me eyes, yes or no?
Nope. I like to be clear about where it is I'm looking at the time.

19. Where did your suit make its debut?
The main thing debuted at a Manchester meet a few years ago. The new head was Confuzzled 2012.

20. What was the first convention (include year of con) you went to in suit?
Confuzzled 2011.

21. Digigrade legs, furry pants, other?
Digitigrade. And on another note, I wish people would take the time to learn how to spell and pronounce that word.

22. What do you do (if anything) to keep your suit clean and nice smelling/looking?
Febreze has been a very good friend to me. In terms of keeping it clean, I use a combination of wipes for cleaning pet fur (which works surprisingly well), and anti-bacterial saddle spray (which is specifically for cleaning synthetics and that sort of thing). I tend to use a combination of the wipes and brushing, since the wipes I use have a lot of the cleaning agent in them.

23. Is there anything special about your suit that sets it apart from others?
There aren't many tanuki suits about, and there aren't many suiters I've come across as 'amusingly obnoxious' as myself.

24. What do you normally wear under your suit?
Under armour.

25. How much would you say your suit has cost you financially?
All together, including upgrades and such it's probably been about £450 to £500. Not the most expensive ever. I think I got a decent deal.

26. What's the most damage your suit (any of them) has ever suffered?
The mesh on the original head snapped, and there was a pretty major tear on the knee where the padding is when I first did some major long-period suiting.

27. What is the core of your tail?
It's a relatively short tail so it's pretty much just fluffy stuffing.

28.How does your suit's various parts stay attached to your body?
Tucking for the paws and head, belt for the tail. Simples.

29. Does your fursuit head have eyelids?
I don't think so.

30. What does your suit smell like?
A thousand balls.

31. If you've got'em, how long are your suit's ears (inches please)?
A few. They're not particularly long but they ain't tiny.

32. What do you store your suit in?
I keep as much out in the open as I can. The body suit is kept hung up, and the head's left out most of the time.

33. What's the story behind your suit (try to be brief):
I decided I wanted a fursuit. Then I got a fursuit.

34. Do you like giving hugs when in suit?
Usually. There've been some bad touches and creepy interactions, though, which I don't care for.

35. Ever... uh... "yiff" while in suit?
No.

36. Do you avoid people carrying coffee, soda, things that stain a suit?
To a degree. A lot of people can be conscientious of the suit anyway, and tend to hold it out of the way if they want some form of interaction.

37. Do you eat/drink in suit, or do you at least remove the head first?
Drinking is difficult, and I prefer to remove the head for it, though if it's in public I will do my best to keep the head on. Eating is impossible. The mouth doesn't line up nearly well enough.

38. Do you ever put your suit on, look in the mirror and do sexy poses?
I tend to do more flamboyant poses than anything. I've never considered myself especially "sexy"

39. How much do you sweat in suit?
More than is perhaps technically healthy.

40. Do you like suiting around kids (under 16yrs)?
Depends on the kids. Some can be pleasant, but the brats that clamp themselves onto my tail bug the hell out of me.

41. Where have you gotten the most attention while in suit?
Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester I guess. That or certain times during cons.

42. Ever been stopped by security/the law for being in suit?
All the police and security personnel I've ever encountered in-suit have seemed to love it. They just laugh.

43. Ever plays sports while in suit?
I've done Fursuit Games and such before. It depends what you count as a sport. Catch and such, yeah.

44. Have you ever let somebody else wear your suit?
I'm far too paranoid about germs for that. I don't even like other people wearing clothes that we aren't likely going to sweat in enough that it can be wrung out.

45. Have you ever cried while in suit?
I got a pretty major headache once because of extreme heat. It was sudden and I was unable to get away from where I was as quickly as I would've liked. The suit hid it well, but I was crying and moaning in pain.

46. Does your suit protect you against the force of drama?
I don't even know what that means.

47. Favorite thing to do in suit?
Shout abuse at people that I couldn't get away with if I didn't look like a cute tanuki.

49. Favorite romping grounds in suit?
Manchester is my usual spot. Anywhere that isn't full of people who might try to damage it is good, though.

50. Do you bowl while in suit?
Never had the opportunity. Would if I could, since I'm bad enough that the suit probably wouldn't make a difference.

51. Ever make a video of yourself in suit?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7xi6Yt36u8 As it happens, I'm in the official music video for Devin Townsend's song "Lucky Animals" in suit. Other than that, not so much, but others have recorded me before.

52. When in suit, do you talk?
Constantly.

53. Do you believe in the magic?
Sort of. I guess this is part of why I have trouble getting into suiting when I wear it as a partial.

54. Have you ever held up a sign that reads "THE GAME" or "Free hugs"?Are you a 16 year old emo?
No.

55. Have you been on/in the news lately?
I have not. I'm not interesting enough for that.

56. Is anybody ever too old or young to be a fursuiter?
I think you need to be old enough that you don't over-estimate your stamina and make yourself ill at least. Probably best if you've finished growing too, since suits are rarely cheap.

57. When you go romping, who do you take with you?
My quick wit and loud voice.

58. What's the most wet your suit has ever gotten with you in it?
Light drizzle if you mean rain. The eyes are painted, anything more would ruin it. Sweat wise... I'd rather not say.

59. Ever lift a leg, just for laughs?
Only if the time is right.

60. What's your policy regarding camp fires and fursuits?
I'd be too paranoid about getting set on fire.

61. Largest thing you ever got stuck to your suit?
A long blade of grass.

62. How do people normally react when they see your suit for the first time?
Either confusion, or mistaking accusations of me being a fox or raccoon.

63. Favorite suiting story?
It's a strange one. At the Manchester meets, we get a lot of people coming up and asking what it's all about. One guy stuffed a cookie into my mouth, then tried pulling my head off (and had to be stopped by a friend of mine who was nearby at the time). When he'd gotten over the initial shock of what he'd seen, he offered to sell me some drugs.

64. Who are your favorite suiters that you look up to?
I remember that at the very first furmeet I went to, there were fursuits. One of them was owned by someone who's now a pretty good friend of mine who goes by "Flint Fox". That was the first time I'd ever seen a fursuit in person and I was enamored with the idea of doing it myself pretty much instantly. I started shopping around makers myself pretty much that very night. There are a couple of others from the Manchester meets, too. I will always hold a certain admiration for Evil Squirrel's ability to be as bouncy and active in suit as he is and still keep going. I don't want to look up too much, though, since I like to think of most people I encounter in such a capacity as a potential friend and this kind of attitude can make that difficult.

65. Would you get married in suit (or at least with a tail)?
I've thought about it. I'd be up for it if my partner wanted to do it, but I think we're both interested in slightly more traditional deal.

Is now my age. First of January of course means I get to level up.

It's 2012 here, and that also means I have just turned 21. As per usual, friends and such are all busy with other things.

Seen as how it's been a long time since I did anything on here other than commenting on photos from meets, figured I aughta do a bit of an update. A hell of a lot has happened since the last one I posted.

A lot of people have probably already heard about the fire at my Grandma's that happened during the summer. After months of moving stuff around for builders, they finally finished a couple of weeks ago and after 3 months or so of work the house is finally liveable again (though still in need of curtains and blinds). Unfortunately, her pet budgie died during the fire itself and the rabbit has since died due to illnesses caused by the ensuing stress.

I've also started back at University, which is interesting to say the least. I've been tired constantly since every day I've had off so far I've had to go and move furnature. Furmeets seem to be coming a lot more quickly though, and they're a welcome distraction.

Onto meets, which is, for the most part a much more pleasant subject. The main meet in Manchester was yesterday, and it was a very good day indeed (save for one person who, God willing, will be banned within a couple of meets). Saw a few friends I haven't seen for months, and some that I just enjoy hanging out with even when it hasn't been so long.

It's also not that long of my 21st Birthday now (or at least, it's close enough for me to be feeling somewhat excited). For those who don't already know, it's the first of January! I might be doing something the weekend after, but nothing's set in stone. Can't really do anything on the day itself with friends for obvious reasons.

That's pretty much all I have to say right now. I aughta try and update more often. Ain't drawn for ages other than doodles on my lecture notes, and I don't think the lull is gonna end any time soon.

1633-4199-2534 <--- That be it. If you feel like adding me, reply to this journal with your own code and I'll add you when I get chance.

I found out a shop that I go to quite a lot in Manchester has a demonstration model of the 3DS, so naturally I asked about having a go with it.

I have to say, I was very impressed. I only got to play Face Raiders, but it was a great little game to just show off all the new features of the console. For those who don't know how the game works, it takes a photograph of your face with the outside (3D) camera and creates a model with it, meaning that the more people who play, the more variety there is. These models are then superimposed over the environment you're in and you move the console around to aim and shoot them similar to the likes of Space Invaders. There were only a couple of levels available to play, but it had all the qualities of a very addictive game.

The 3D effect deserves mention too. The slider on the side of the screen is very smooth, as is the transition between 2D and 3D as you move it. I had it full one when I was actually playing, though I did experiment a little with the menus. Other people who've played it mention that it takes time to get used to seeing it like this, but I found it to be a couple of seconds at most, and the angle at which you can get the effect is a lot wider than I was expecting.

I'd managed to stop myself from being excited about its release next month, so in hindsight I should have left it alone.

Taken by a fella at the meet for the most part, there were a lot more, but you can see me doing some fursuiting here c:

I get to share my birthday with the new year =D

Yeah, I finally passed my driving test on the 3rd attempt. Doesn't really show through words, but I'm rather happy at the moment.

Well, it's been 5 months since I posted a journal here, which is mainly because nobody seems to look at them. Aaaaany way, it's Christmas soon (ish) and I've already got all the shopping done in preperation for the horrible, horrible state the post office gets into during the season.

It snowed worse than it has in over 30 years on Monday night/ Tuesday morning and a blizzard warning has caused all local schools to be closed tomorrow (Thursday). While normally this would be time to relax, it happens to be on a week where for various reasons, we can't use more electicity than last week. Don't ask, as I shall not explain.

I shall also (hopefully) be involved in the school's tallent show this year, which, despite my hate of the word "tallent", I am somewhat looking forward to (N.B, I'd preffer it if they dropped the first word and simply called it "Show"). A couple of friends and myself will be performing a rendition of "Little by Little" by the band Oasis. It's fun to play and, thankfully, just within my vocal range.

Of course, with the weather being the coldest it's been for decades (thanks, perhaps, to global warming) there is a chance this show will be cancelled.

Another thing coming up, which I am looking forward to (and, which may be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions) is my driving test. It's on the 22nd of December, assuming the snow doesn't keep up.

And finally, I plan on purchasing a new computer in the foreseeable future, as the one I'm currently using has lower specs than a low end net book (half the RAM, half the hard drive, 10 times the size). It shall be capable of marvelous things.

At least in comparison to what I'm currently used to.

http://www.petitiononline.com/RRH53...../petition.html

I put this on dA, but for anyone interested. If the petition reaches over a million (it looks like it's going to get there) he said he'd quit making movies. It had reached over 290,000 when I signed it.

So... I've seen this done a few times and figured I'd give it a go. Stolen from the Tanoshi dragon type man thing.

Mmkay... it's been months since I posted anything here, and I really wanna get that awful blue dragon off my user page. I really wanna start doing requests and stuffs to bulk up the gallery. Keep in mind that I'm very open minded and willing to draw mature stuffs. So.. yeah, if you wanna request somthing note me or leave a message or somthing.
