It seems to me that as I am going through some of my own artwork (Gifts, Commissions, and Trades, that a lot of my content doesn't seem to exist. I have tried typing in all the following hashtags and searches into the system but to no avail.

(AzuGabu, Azu_Gabu, AzuGabumon, Azu_Gabumon, AzuDigi, Azu_Digi, AzuDigimon, Azu_Digimon, AzureGabu, Azure_Gabu, AzureGabumon, Azure_Gabumon, AzureDigi, Azure_Digi, AzureDigimon, Azure_Digimon, AzuGabuDigi, Azu_Gabu_Digi, AzuGabuDigimon Azu_Gabu_Digimon, AzureGabuDigimon, Azure_Gabu_Digimon, AzureGabumonDigimon, Azure_Gabu_Digimon, LonelyGabu, Lonely_Gabu, LonelyGabumon, Lonely_Gabumon, LonelyDigimon, Lonely_Digimon, LonelyGabuDigi, Lonely_Gabu_Digi, LonelyGabumonDigi, Lonely_Gabu_Digi, LonelyGabuDigimon, Lonely_Gabu_Digimon, LonelyGabumonDigiimon, Lonely_Gabu_Digimon, Azu, Azure, Gabu, Gabumon, Digi, Digimon.)

For the most part I did find some files, but a lot has gone missing.

I would like to ask my followers if they still have some of my artwork posted, Gifts, Trades or Commissions, to please send me the link, DM me via messages, Message me on telegram afterwords, or just link them to me via the chat in the window below. Its very hard to even find raw files, which would make me feel incredibly sad. If any of you can help me that would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I will return with some new content when a few things in my life will get fixed ^^. *Waggles and blows Kissies* Thanks all.

HOLIDAY CARD EXCHANGE 2014!!!!!!!!

If you want to send a small gift to these people with your card you don't need to but it can really make someone's Holiday. Entries will end on SUNDAY DECEMBER 21st AT 12AM Midnight so people can send it out on the MONDAY. I will send it to your email as well as a private message. I will compile the entries at that time. I will change the number in the heading when I can ;3. Thanks all and Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Kwanza, Happy Solstice, Merry Festivus, and a Happy Yule to all!~ *Waggles* Spread the word if you can or join that would be cool <3

Dear my Watchers and Fans, possibly Stalkers of the Good Variety:
(Yes this is a letter, and yes I am a dork, thought this would be cute. XD)

"Fur" Starters:
I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU for those that have watched me, faved/liked my artwork and especially commented on things. I have been swamped so recently that I don't have time to really give a message to each one of you like I would like to. So I am a sorry.*Droops and gives hugs.* I will get back to it when normal rhythm of life decides to be somewhat manageable. You all mean the world to me and it makes me drive to become a better muse/artist all the time. Thank you for sticking around and remember this a granted for all artist, a fav/watch/a pimp/comments are so appreciated, its like your way to say to them you enjoy their work. May take a few extra seconds but its well worth to make someone's day!~ *WAGS*.

News in my life:
Recently its been tough with the fact I cannot find the time to really get anything started. I want to start and I don't have the privacy I need to really get down and really get to work and when I am in the mood, things are always bugging me and getting in my way. Especially with the date for my Departed brothers Birthday and the next week following his anniversary of his passing, its just been a tough gambit to deal with. The event I do in the park every year ended up being on that day and it was too fast for me to even set up anything. I haven't missed it in 5 years! (Even with the rain date.) The energies just seem to pass through me and make me unhappy. *Droops some with a whimper.* But alas I won't give up nor do I plan to right now!

What would mean the world to me right now:
Just please, spread the word, take a look through my works, buy or commission something from me, even donate if you can. Check my ETSY out: Digitail Creations .
Money has been really tight and things I want to get or want to go to end up slipping through my paws like sand. It's been a while and I think a positive turn can really help me relax and create more.

I know I have been quiet but this is some of the major reasons why I have been. So please bare with me. I am working on things and gonna post some arts in the near future, showing you all I still art just been wanting to push the jewelry for awhile now. Anyway, Thanks for all your kind words, comments, favorites and showcasing your interest in my work. You are the best!~ *Offers a glomp huggle*

For those interested in Donating or helping that way just follow the link to my Donation Jar Donation HALP . Thank you.

Yours Always,
Azu Gabumon

Today is my birthday, 4/11. *Waggles a bit and blushes.* Just want a good day of fun, friends and treasures. Not expecting much but alas one Can Dream. *Smiles swaying my long tail.* So come on by and talk or steal me away. Would love to have some cuddles!~ *Happytimes to come, I hope.*

FTM (2) 2014 in Review
Fur the more, furry convention in Hunt Valley INN on 245 Shawan Road, Hunt Valley, Maryland, USA.

First I would like to say that without Shy Matsi the Folfy , a member on Staff of FurtheMore 2014, and a close furiend of mine for many, many years, the trip wouldn't have happened to begin with. For those that have kept up with me the past few years had been difficult for me to interact with most furries because of my car accident and inability to get another car or to find someone to ride with to get to furry meets and the such. (Being this far north in New Jersey sucks. xD.) From the bottom of my heart I thank you so much hon for helping me and taking care of me at the con. (I tried to help you too as best I can!~ *Snickers*) But I love the fact you helped me out it was sweet of you!~ Thank you again honnies~! *Blows kiss.*. <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Long Report

Thursday 3/13
Woke: 9AM
Bed: N/A (Didn't Sleep)


Set up day. The day before the convention and getting set up on condensing bags of crud into smaller bags of crud to get ready for the convention. I needed to get a few supplies and do laundry but the anticipation was intense. I ended up doing lots of shopping in advance for the house and a few things I needed to get like shoes. And I came back and by the time I finish packing everything ready it was already 4AM on Friday and Shy Matsi Shymatsi was picking me up at 5-530AM so I decided to get a bit of rest before waking to my alarms. (Had some of my shinies and inventories with me and had to make a few things ready so I can sell some art possibly.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friday 3/14
Woke: N/A (Didn't Sleep)
Start trip: 11AM
Room #: 3032
Suite food:
B: None
L: Chickfila
D: Wegman's Asian
Volunteered: 10.5 hours
Bed: 430AM


Well since I had no sleep I got up from just a rest to await from Shy Matsi's Shymatsi phone call to head out to the land of Furry Conventionteering but due to his alarms going soft and wonky I didn't get picked up to about 10:10AM Versus 5:00AM wish I could have had more sleep if I had known. *Giggles and erfs* But alas I went to the car and met up with one of our roommates for the con, Pryde, pryde1 the unicorn. Who happened to be a really cool guy and was fun to have around for most of the con. We went to grab some lunch to eat at a rest stop and went straight away to the con. Love the ride it was so pretty and most of the time I was up and in and out of nodding off but not for too long to be sleep due to crazy pot holes and some crazzies on the road. We ended up coming really late because of traffic and got a nice spot and in the hotel at 230PM but needed to start with the Hospitality Suite first. So we immediately went to check in and found out that their wasn't a place for us and that their was a new room that was available with only one king sized bed. So that was interesting. Dropped off the stuff, got comfy and onwards back to registration to pick up my badge so I can start helping ASAP. SkippyFox skippyfoxcub was there along with a Kittrel kittrel at registration where my badge had been misplaced and so they had to make a new ID, which was easy peasy. But due to rushing my ID was left with Skippy so that was a bit scary but found it later on. XD. Rushed to the Hospitality Suite to start my volunteering as a VIP Board member and meeting up my fellow Staffers/Volunteers there who had already got lunch ready. It needed some cleaning and organizing so I went right to work. I met up with two really cool furries one was ChazzFox chazzfox and the other was Lauren Fox : who held down the fort before the three of us could make it. It also made it easier to go through shifts then to just go at it alone. :) For late lunch we served Chickfila and that was tasty.After a few hours and greeting people and offering drinks I met up with a few friends that came in the room who I haven't seen in a very long time. Camiofox theredfoxcamio and his mate Mattfox tesfox came in who were Raven Gods for the con. So it was cool seeing them and serving them to make sure they were comfy. Also met up with Muskie Husky tuskyn and his mate in and out of suit but it was nice to see them after being away from the community for about 2 years almost! After feeding more people their was a lull and was about time for dinner. So Shy Matsi shymatsi , Pryde pryde1 and myself (Azu Gabu) lonelygabu went off to a Wegmans and it was my first time. So when I went in for the first time, it was like my eyes were going kooky crazy. XD. It was that kind of experience. With 3 carts and 2 trips in and out of the store to get supplies and necessary things for the Suite. I had to play some Tetris in the back of the car to make that all fit. Which wasn't too bad and we were very happy to have fit that in. So while we got back with warm food from the food court, barely making it as they were changing stuff, we got lots of Asian varieties of food. We came back and had so much stuff that we started to do a fireman's carry while I went to get a bell hop to get the cart. All the food was inside and set up and I had a fun time explaining what it was to the guests that came. After things calmed down for the dinner rush, I had to head to Con Ops to fill out my volunteer form. Considering we haven't been able to even get there because of helping out so much. So myself and Pryde pryde1 went down to Con Ops and register with Kiba kibayoukai who I thought was really cool and got into things when we got into the conversation about her ink. When I had finished I went looking for my ID and it was gone, but low and behold, they already got it from Skippy  skippyfoxcub . So that was a relief. Missed sign ups for a spot for Artists alley cause I went before 12:30AM to tell last call on food type thing but I just missed it. Went back to the room where I met up with a cutie, Techwolf techwolf who had come by in suit and started to be really cute and a good cuddler! We stood up to really late the entire crew of the Hospitality Suite, til about 130AM before we closed up shop and I started to clean the room with Bleach Wipes to clean and disinfect the room along with Shy ShyMatsi which was nice to have company. *Wags* So after that I stopped by the game room to see what Pryde Pryde1 was up to in the room and where much hilarity ensued. So after that and trying to hang out with friends who were supposed to show up and planned to meet, we ended up going to sleep past 4AM to only awaken in the morning. (Volunteered from 3PM - 130AM, 10.5 hours.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saturday 3/15
Woke: 8AM
Suite food:
B: Bagels and Cereal/Oatmeal
L: Jimmy Johns Hoagies
D: GOH Meal at the Con
Volunteered: 9.25 hours
Bed: 4AM


New day means a new full day of experiences. *Smiles* With less then hours of sleep I got up at around 730AM -8:00AM and went to take a shower to try and go through a huge days worth of fun. Went down to the Artists Alley to see if I can talk to the head person in charge about the spot explaining to them about not being able to make it to sign ups all night. But that was a no go. Was poked and summoned by a friend in the meantime. Someone I haven't seen ever and been friends with for years. Met up with Water Wuf ookamikaetcal who I met up when she did a panel only to say hi for now because she just arrived at the hotel that morning. Also was kinda sad over a few things and a bad migraine then. It came from no where too. ;-; . Was great to see someone you been talking for many years to finally be able to talk. I briefly went through the Artists Alley and Dealers Room where I met up with another friend who I was happy to see. An Indigo Cat Angel!~ indigoangelcat working the Dealers room so we talked a bit and a bit throughout the con. Made it back to the room at 930AM where :Chazzfox chazzfox along with Lauren Fox had already opened up while Shy Matsi Shymatsi needed to get a few more of supplies as well as put on his Fursuit for the Fursuit Parade. (Which I do usually see, I hope to see some pictures and videos soon!) They switched out with me and I was alone with the guests coming in for foods and refreshments. Saw the usual suspects again Camio theredfoxcamio , Matt Fox tesfox , Muskie tuskyn and his mate, and even more visits from a new friend Tech Wolf techwolf Enjoying a bagel and cereal/oatmeal kinda breakfast. In the meantime meeting up with a few new faces who just realized that their was a thing called a hospitality suite. Which I thought was adorable. It was time to get Lunch and Shy went out with Pryde pryde1 to go get the lunch while I stayed around to watch the suite. The food arrived and lots of people came in and out it was such a rush. While waiting I cleaned up the room again the best I could and asked the maid/room service cleaner to clean up the floor with the vacuum. Knowing me if it was there, I'd probably do it. xD *Giggles and erfs.* So Lunch was served at 1:30PM and was quite delicious just wished that they had some ham/cheese varieties cause I need to noms too!~ More of the usual people to hang out with so that was awesome but at around 3:30PM I decided to finally go around the con for much needed break. I had already gone through 16.5 hours by now in total since 3PM Friday and its 3PM Saturday So that's a lot to do. I finally went around to bother and poke some friends and to game a bit. Went to go meet up with Water Wuf ookamikaetca and her friends but bumped into a
Gale heretherebestripes and a Meow imeow who I haven't seen in a long time but it was great to see both of em!~ They invited me for some drinks and for some room stuff fun. (Dark Souls seem fun!~) I had just missed Water Wuf ookamikaetca in a friends suit so in the meantime I walked around and chilled with her and her friends til she saw I had been looking for the new bling, told me to go to Iggi Iggi and her artwork was just so lovely and awesome. How could I pass it up? *Wags*. (Got her artwork at the Zoo later on that same day.) After the purchase of that and a LED collar, I went and "trolled" the Artists Alley and Registration where I had bumped into a Bakani bakaneko and a Clemintine clemfox. I kinda was ins hock to see Bakani cause it was so nice to see him so I kinda couldn't help but glomp the dork. He was talking to a few others so it was cut short. Went around to go to Artists Alley, the Zoo and the Dealers room which I talked more to an Indigo Cat Angel indigoangelcat where I got my shirt (Which I sadly lost in the Suite cause I left my stuff there to keep it safe but it disappeared. ;-; *sigh The shirt I got from the VIP not from Volunteering.) Went and talked to her for a good long period of time and bought a few raffle tickets for the PS4. Figured a win/win for me if I get something and great for the charities. After using the time to relax I started to walk towards the Hospitality Suite, I bumped into our other roommate, CJ Fox cjfur who happened to be in his fursuit. So I went around with him for a bit to keep him company and to handle him. Gave me something to do and I have handled "Fursuit Handler" before at other cons for friends and roommates that needed the help. Fun to help take pictures and I just can't wait to see the result. Went outside due to it being really gorgeous and met a few others who were chilling and others so happened to do some "Twerking". *Shivers.* Anyway after helping him out, we went towards the Photo Shoot room and I told him he could get a shot for free and the nice Photographer came out and asked him inside. The picture was indeed cute. I gave him a hug and a scritch and we split ways. By this time I had bumped into Kit Drago Kitdrago who I was admiring his get up and outfit as a pirate. Said a few things to him at the time without really knowing the hierarchy of the event but soon after I found out he was the Head chair of the event. So I kinda derped. XD. It was almost 530PM so I decided to go up to the room to freshen up before the event and get my ticket for the dinner, but I bumped into Miltonious Prime miltoniusprime who was a pleasant and most happy addition to the list of people I met at the con. We talked for a bit and I went to the room which was like walking a mile to lands unknown. Got in and had helped CJ Fox cjfur who was in suit trying to get out of the zipper. It was a bit passed 630PM and I waited for my friends to try and get to the dinner but I shyly went... I didn't know anyone or that much of anyone but I went through the tables and no one I knew was around. I almost got cold footed until I saw a table with Miltonious Prime miltoniusprime , Kittrel kittrel , and Skippy Fox  skippyfoxcub had one spot opened and I was more then happy to ask for a spot. Now the food at the restaurant was quite suburb. I hadn't really selected which I thought was odd, the salad had bacon which I can't have and the cakes were served all around the table randomly. It would have been nice if their had a been a simple card, with selections of what you can select cause I love chicken and stuff like that and cheesecake. The steak with the mashed potatoes were rather delicious and I shared a strawberry shortcake with Skippy Fox  skippyfoxcub . (Which thank you for letting me do so.) We had some tea and such and before I left I saw a staffer join our table who I kinda urged to eat some food considering she didn't have anything since breakfast. Stayed with her until she finished, I didn't want to leave someone alone. :( So I happily waited and then hovered over a few tables to say hi to a few furiends, Shy Matsi shymatsi , Pryde pryde1 , Bakani bakaneko , Clemintine clemfox , Camio theredfoxcamio , and Matt Fox tesfox . The room was rather filled up with the "ring-a-ding and chime" from glasses being rimmed by fingers. The noise was quite something. Now it was getting hovering over 9PM and I was heading to the Hospitality Suite to relieve who ever had been working there since I had went off to have fun, when I bumped into my friend Wag who was in the Video Game Suite. He was toying around some Zelda like game and It was nice to say hello, its been almost 2 years since we last saw each other and well it was nice to see one of the very first furries I had ever had a great time with, and including a few of my "Who's Yankin' Your Tail" a spoof off the Who's Line is it Anyway Show. (With cards and everything.!~) So after some back and forth I decided to leave and check out the Table top gaming room but watching some more RP gaming and such before I got a text to go hang out with Gale heretherebestripes and to have fun. So I went, saw some Dark souls and met up with his cute roommates, and gave him a very nice body massage and a small adjustment. It was much fun to tickle him it really was til he kneed me in the chin by accident. XD But the touches weren't meant to be ticklish at first just because those points are pleasing ones and made his body hyper sensitive. *Giggles.* Fun. So after hanging out, I noticed my two badges were missing and went on the hunt for them. They were a gift and I was going a bit nutty about losing "Bling" (Fursona Badges.) Found a Wag and a friend in the Tabletop Gaming room and Played Nerds for a while. REALLY COOL GAME! Went back to the Hospitality Suite at around 11:00PM and started working on serving those night owls, and staffers. Had a bit of food left over so I went around the con (Took 45 minutes) to scour every room to make sure that they had enough food or drinks. A few familiar faces showed up that I recalled along with Camio theredfoxcamio , Matt Fox tesfox , Muskie tuskyn and his mate/friend, Chazzfox chazzfox and Lauren Fox, Tech Wolf techwolf , Protocolie kalemika , Skippy Fox  skippyfoxcub , Miltonious Prime miltoniusprime ,
Xyro Raiuzuki raiuzuki , and Reaux reaux .(If their are more that swung by Feel free to say something!~) Their was also a nice/interesting conversation with Azu Gabu (myself) lonelygabu , Pryde pryde1 , and a Chazzfox chazzfox that made the nights volunteering that much more interesting, and that much more fun. Huzzah for teh cuddles too! <3 The entire night ended up just being much fun in the room from having that many furries and friendly faces but at around 230AM we decided to lock up and start cleaning. I had again cleaned the tables off and the chairs as best as I could and set up for the morning so that way, we could kinda sleep in a bit. Finished at 3AM and called it a night. Went to the room and clonked out, or tried to as I went around to see if people were still up xD. But alas, things got quiet and fell asleep at around 4AM once again.

Sunday 3/16
Woke: 7AM
Suite food:
B: Continental Breakfast
L: Chipotle Burrito's
D: Snackages
Volunteered: 12.25 hours
Bed: 530AM


Early wake up at 7AM because we had to go to the con suite to start the morning with Hospitality, the set up for it was key the day before considering all we needed to do is for Shy Matsi shymatsi to open up the suite and such for the breakfast and get supplies for the morning rush. So after a quickie, a shower, I was ready to go, got down there to the lands of con from the room unknown at 8AM where a few others had been waiting in the room including Laura Fox and Chazzfox chazzfox . Nice to see their faces in the morning but Shy Matsi shymatsi had to leave to pick up some more waters and some breakfast for the Continental Style breakfast. Same usual morning people as Muskie tuskyn and his mate/friend came by, Camio theredfoxcamio and Matt Fox tesfox , and a few others I forget their names but it was a friendly morning crowd looking for some nourishment. The entire room had been cleared out for the most part leaving me and a Chazzfox chazzfox to chat before Pryde pryde1 came along to make it a party. So when Shy Matsi shymatsi came back at around 12PM I decided that to check on the Artists Alley considering that I was told by one of the staffers if I had been selected or not, which they told me no. So I head down anyway and find out that my name was pulled. I was confused. It was like how can that be if Staffer (X) said that I wasn't. I think it was a mistake but that's fine, I rush back to hospitality and rush back to the room and get my supplies and things and in under an hour my half table was set up. I had purchased one art work from a lovely character by the name of Iggi Iggi , through much coercion (LOL of course kidding!) of my long friend, Water Wuf ookamikaetca and got myself some new badges stuff. Now working the table I noticed a lot of interest but no one wanted to buy much of anything. That's when a wild kitty appeared! I had a Patch toxikitty stop by and asked for a quick sketch and since I had been out of it for so long, I upgraded it to an ink sketch with stickers. She and I had a friendly conversation and it was really nice to have someone like and compliment the work I had created. Also someone came by and purchased 2 of my small prints, wish I had made more of the large ones, I really do considering it would have been more money. I do love my artwork so that would been awesome. I made under $10 in total which was kinda meh but I did not expect much considering it was the last day of the con, officially. Heard much music coming from the main ballroom while sitting there and had a Fatal Glory fatalglory128 to find out he won 2nd in the Fur Factor contest doing juggling. Kudos. Much Kudos. I was hungry and I asked/called Shy Matsi shymatsi to send me a chicken burrito my way and one of the volunteers from the suite kindly gave it to me. I was happy. Finished up and obviously with jewelry, and bags within bags, lots of things to put back.Took me close to a half an hour and I went back to the room to put away the stuff. It was rather nice to have most of it all done and put away. Came back down to the Hospitality Suite and I had almost crashed. but it was 5PM and we had an hour and a half to the Closing Ceremonies. Was saddened that they had removed the Dead Dog Party, I..I kinda wanted to dance and be with my furiends and such but I wanted the Hospitality Suite to become the Dead Dog Party of Dead Dog Parties!~ (Which happened, kinda. XD Will explain later.) So much talking Chazzfox chazzfox and I had talked lots in between those that came by for noms and cuddles!~ YAY. xD just for me though <3. Noms and drinks were served and saw a friend who liked to give me snugs and such, yay for a Techie Wuffie Wuff!~ Tech Wolf techwolf had cuddled me lots and before I knew it from helping everyone else, we had finally let everyone out leaving just myself and Shy Matsi shymatsi in the room. I had set up and cleaned up the room once again like I have been doing in-between meals but now it was 6PM so the two of us flopped on the couch before heading to the Closing Ceremonies at 630PM. We had got there and I had gotten to finally see a
Bakani bakaneko in suit which made me happy, I took a picture, but the one I have in my heart is so much better. We stood up in the corner of the room while they ran through the gauntlet of things. 714 Attendees, 187 Fursuits, and $5000 to the Frisky’s Wildlife and Primate Sanctuary Charities. That was staggering. (Information via their website here FURtheMore 2014, The con with very minimum hiccups in the suite for instance and other things I know from talking to people, made this con interesting. They pulled up those that had volunteered for the most hours and I looked at my time card with 26.5 hours and they had called people with over 20 hours. My intent to volunteer was to show my thanks to my furiend Shy Matsi shymatsi for making the opportunity happen for me and to the con that allowed me to be a Board member, and to be with my furiends, didn't think I would volunteer for this many hours, but it just happened. It would been nice to get a little pat on the back, a job well done and a mention for hard work. Those that were called to the stage became honorary staff for 2015, which I still remember that Tech Wolf techwolf was in fursuit and when he hear the news, his heads jaw dropped. That was super adorable xD. *Giggles* A but I shook it off considering I had a great convention as a hole. After much craziness of the ending/closing ceremonies for the event. I went out to try and say good bye to a bunch of people but I had missed Water Wuf ookamikaetca and Gale heretherebestripes . After going towards the Hospitality Suite and realizing that it had been closed and locked, I went back to the main hall to find a Bakani bakaneko and Clemintine clemfox in fursuit in the back while they went through their "Questions and Suggestions" panel at the end. Watching everyone and some of their thoughts were kinda cool. I had an idea about Artists Alley and a bunch of other things, but that's because I am a man of many ideas. But I kept quiet...I kinda get the spells of the Shy. Many things were in review but was happy that not many things were directed to the Hospitality Staff/Volunteers and Shy Matsi shymatsi . The last person to come up, my god, he made me cry. Explaining that this is the best thing that ever happened to him, that he feels like he has a home now and that this is his first event and that it will change him forever... Still thinking about that moment gave me the shivers. Left the Ceremonies and myself and Shy Matsi shymatsi went to open up the room again. I did just enough cleaning to make sure things get good, and 8PM the doors reopened to Staffers/Volunteers and for those that wanted to nom. We had such a Surplus of foods, it was kinda a shame to throw any away so, Shy Matsi shymatsi opened it up to everyone for a while. Then this was when the night got interesting, for the sake of interesting. Had so many people coming in and out complaining at the Crazy Snow expecting and the fact no Dead Dog Party was around. Was going to start changing the room so we can at least dance the night away. But we left the room the way it was. Around 10-11PM after seeing the "regulars" come in Camio theredfoxcamio and Matt Fox tesfox, Muskie tuskyn and his friend/mate, Staff/Volunteers Pryde pryde1 , Chazzfox chazzfox , and a Lauren Fox, and a few others like Skippy Fox  skippyfoxcub , Tech Wolf techwolf , and a Reaux reaux filled the room with much laughs and company but soon it started to die for the most part. Going past 11PP and our Musical Guest of Honor came in and madness happens. My joke turns into something that happened, with wannabe Sprite and Wonka Fun Dip. I kinda said it would look good with a blue chaser of Fun Dip as Coke. Boy Oh BOY that made a scene. It was the most funny shit ever. The energy changed to fun and awesomeness. Mathew Ebel snorted some "Fun Dip" done in lines on the table through a straw, and since we had none he used Fun Dip. Seriously one of the most funny shits ever just happened. After much jokes were being made, the group had left for the most part just leaving myself, Azu Gabu lonelygabu , Pryde pryde1 , and Chazzfox chazzfox in the room. After another conversation of awesome magnitude about abilities and gifts, Chazzfox chazzfox went to go change and that's when the energy shifted to one being playful with the introduction of Chainer Prime chainerprime to the bunches of Fuzzies, a Patch toxikitty , and a Mark immortalvanguard . Where things got really interesting and that way quickly. *Marfs and snickers* Started to showcase a few things about my abilities and which that caused lots of fun things to happen now, which lead to more fun things. Which amused a few people about the fact I can read people through energies. Before things got too crazy me and Chazzfox chazzfox went to the bar to grab some drinks, and I myself, got two order of french fries for the room just to have something warm and delicious. Come back to only shoot the breeze some more. And so that happened for a few hours with a welcome addition of a Kiba Youkai kibayoukai who enjoyed my abilities. With that said lots of people ended up going into their room and with the early wake up or supposed leave time, Pryde pryde1 left early and then at around 1AM so did Shy Matsi shymatsi . At that time, Bakani bakaneko and Clemintine clemfox came in with a horde of fuzzies to play some Cards Against Humanity. And people started to make the Hospitality Suite more of a Dead Dog party now, we still had staffers and volunteers coming in and grabbing something to eat and drink. I met up with a StrawBunny strawbunny and a Xyro Raiuzuki raiuzuki who were two called to the stage at Closing ceremonies. Who didn't know the room existed which I had enlightened them to make sure they get their nommies on and take a little break before going back to volunteering. So much happened with the room with much laughter of Cards against Humanity in one section, another having mixed drinks, another snackage, and the little bedroom was devoted to chilling and to singing old school songs. It was quite funny. The energy in the room now was filled with mirth. Even though it was late really late in the night, things were kicking it off in the hospitality suite. at 2:30AM I tapped out, found one staffer left in the room who signed my card which was, Protocolie kalemika and had asked everyone in the room if I had indeed been working the con as a volunteer, which was a bit of a "grrr" moment, but Bakani bakaneko had defended me happily. Left the room and got to the room at 3AM and started to pack up everything in my one suitcase, and one Throw-over bag, and the one bag I had with my drinks inside it. Set that up and wanted to find out if everything had been taken care of. That much partying I was afraid of the room but I went back to find my charges that I let people borrow during the con. Went to the room and it was locked. apparently Bakani bakaneko new what was going on after with the room and asked Protocolie kalemika if he had to leave that means he is staff responsible for the room and so he said for everyone to get out. Seriously walking to the con suite from the room to there, was a TREK. Called Bakani bakaneko who had the key and I had to check so I waited and such and it was nice that he cleaned the room with his friends and kept it tidy sans the food left over. Just made me happy that things went so well. However I couldn't find my hat and shirt now. I'm going to have to ask the con staff if they had seen it. Went back to my room and it was like it was so late (Around 5AM), I had to been back in the room and I was so nervous trying to find a spot on the bed, so I set up on the floor with a pillow I ninja'd from the bed and a blanket that was on-top. But after at least a half an hour I wanted a spot so I wiggled into it and fell asleep. I was so tired and kinda happy that we "overslept" waking up officially after 10AM.

Monday 3/17
Woke: 10AM
Back home 4PM
Bed: 330AM


This was indeed a late morning wake up and was in and out of sleep being that I hadn't slept a long time for a good amount of time. So I finally strolled out of bed already having most of my stuff packed besides toiletries, went to use the bathroom one last time and had waited for Shy Matsi shymatsi and Pryde pryde1 to come back to the room so I can take my stuff down and pop it in the car. Sadly I didn't say goodbye to anyone being that they were both in a rush. Kinda like doing that but things change and so do circumstances. So at around 12PM we hoped in the car and not only that, buttttttttttt...we needed noms. So we went to the first dinner not too far away at the Double Diner on 341 Pulaski Highway in White Marsh, MD 21162. After much delicious pancakes and good conversation (French Fries too <3 YUM) we started to drive down to Pryde pryde1 place first. By the time Shy Matsi shymatsi and I, Azu Gabu lonelygabu it was almost 4PM by the time we got back to the land of New Jersey. Boy oh boy was I beat, but this digimon wanting more fun as always. Went upstairs and didn't even unpacked, I just layed my bed down and went to relax after a few minutes I went into "Recharge battery mode." *Giggles and waggles*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks so much for those that may have read this, just something that took me awhile and a "round up" of the great con that I had. I really enjoyed it. Thanks to the Staff, Fellow volunteers and everyone else for being there and making it happen. It really means alot to enjoy something like that every so often. I do hope that somewhere down the line, that you do too. *Marfs* Much luffs to all, and to all a good "read" xD.

Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks for what you have already done. *Wags and blows kisses to all.*

This is cut and pasted from several peoples close to 100 journals. So here it is :

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rumor has it there is hacker on FA, hacking people and blocking our friends to make them block us. You'll then be banned from FA.

Write the same warning in your journal to protect not only yourself but everyone! Here's another warning: If I'm being a jerk, saying stuff like "Shut up", "Get lost" or "I don't want to see you on my homepage anymore", that's not really me. That's the hacker.

Write all of this down in your journal too!

Please do this, it's for the safety of everyone!

Forward this message before someone gets hacked!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please tell your friends I would hate for my account or someone else's to become swiped up and its happened to me for a few days, don't know how but it happened. So if you see me acting strange, I been working really hard on this re-launch so this is really bad timing for this thing to happen.

Be safe all and later days. ~(Hit a milestone, I'll write something up in a bit about it a few days from now.) *Marfs and wiggles*

Yours,
Azu Gabu

Well the surprise that I mentioned in a previous journal has been a long time coming. After dealing with some personal life issues and things that just weighed me and my soul down, I'm ready to pick myself back up and dust myself off and move forward. I am a muse, artisan, craftsmen, poet, artist, photographer, musician and much more. No one or nothing should ever stifle that energy. And its my fault, and I am done with that. *Smiles and waggles*

I haven't been this excited but as a Birthday Gift to myself (Considering the lack of a Bday was more working on the relaunch), I am now going to relaunch my jewelry and artisan page. Please go check them out and watch/like/follow me if you can, it will be a big help!~

You have been there for me in the past I want to thank you for that from the bottom of my heart. I really could use your help. Comment/Fav/Social Media Plug/Journals/Likes/Donations/Tell a friend/Watch and Like my Pages/etc. Any help could go a long way in helping me continue to do what I love. Please help me out.

There is a bonus, I will be running raffles/freebies when the relaunch will be completed, all you need to do is be active watcher and like/watch my pages to be apart of it for a chance to win. (Much of my stuff is on sale, to help start the launch with a bang). Donations can always go to help, their is going to be a lot of upkeep and I am low on funds. Commissions are available as well. So why help out this mon!~ Pleasies !~ *smiles and erfs* Thank you all and I hope that you all have a wonderful and happy remainder of the weekend *MARF*

Just wanted to clean out the last journal with a good ol, pat yourself on the back journal. Its my birthday today. I don't know what will be going on but their has been many things going in my life that have been taking its toll. But I am still alive, surviving. And I have a huge thing in store for all my sites/myself to give forth. This news will be one that is a long time coming, and more importantly one that should make my hard work worth it. <3. *Crosses fingers and toes*

So yay. Happy 27th to me and I hope it will be full of great time with furiends/loved ones atleast *Waggles and snugs my gabu plush*<3 Give me some luffs and stuffs!!~

Well with that title I hope you really look xD.

Alas a friend told me about an event run by RAWartists that is a company to help give a format to local artists a place where they can showcase their work at a professional level. Went to a friends showcase and it had a myriad of incredible things from artisans, photographers, film people, fashion designers, artists of many varieties, etc. Was a great place for art candy for the soul. But I talked to the event coordinator and in a few days talked to here live and she was like I have a very few spots for the show and she asked if I wanted a spot. I was so SO HAPPY !~ *does a dance* lol but yea here is the information for the event.

The event flyer is here:
http://www.rawartists.org/newyork/radiate
Name: Peter Najdzinowicz
Where: M1-5 Lounge in NYC, NY
52 Walker Street
When: August 23rd ; 8PM-1AM
+21 Event / Cocktail Attire
Tickets are $10 online / $15 at the door.

If you want to come and support me that would be awesome, I am on the bottom left icon on that link. Click on that and you see a mini gallery and bio of me. From there, you can go above my work and go to "Buy a ticket for this artist".

I also need some start up cash to get supplies (get prints made/business cards/displays/mats like paints for traditional pieces and canvas's/markers I need/etcetc.) for this event to make sure its going to be incredible. +800 people walked around just from tickets not even from the bar itself so its incredible exposure. So if you can donate something to digimon that would be awesome

Hey, well with the string of bad news I'm going to start off with saying its a day that usually nothing special occurs, I hope that it will change one day. Today is my Birthday and with everything going on, I haven't even planned anything or even do go to someplace. Ideas a plenty of what to do but the lack of funds to really do anything special. Well if you want to come and hang out with me, please do. I'll give you my cell if you want to text me and figure something out or I'll give you my IMs information so we can talk there. I'm fatigued so there is a good chance I'm going to lay down for a lil bit.

There are a few days in the year that I wish to be incredible, one of them happens to be my birthday, the other is valentines day. Bad things happened around both days as I want to shock the calender year into submission from giving me the most memorable and happy birthdays/v-days as furily possible. It would mean alot, I don't get much but do whatever you can that would be incredible. If you wants to donate or gibs monies I can give you my address and my paypal is handleslikemagic@yahoo.com . Thanks for listening to the ranting digimon and hope you all have a great day and even a better nigh!

I thought that after these events in my life
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3180386/
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2582230/
and a string of stuff that happened in 2010
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1711919/

Been debating not even writing this anymore but its become almost cathartic that my friends that care for me will see this and do what they have always done for me which I feel like a jack ass at times...

This week's Monday 3/26 my mom was complaining of numbness in her head and right side of the face, the right arm which and parts of the leg but my moms body she was able to move. Thought she was stressed and just not herself with everything that's been going on, and lack of food. Thee scary thing is after 1 hour, it still continued and worried me. Knowing First Aid I ran her BP and it was 256 over 122 with Heart Rate of 86. I called 9-1-1 to the house considering it was only an hour and my mother had already took Asprin just in case. They came to the house quickly where they put her on Stroke watch alert. (Even though Stroke does have atypical symptoms of paralysis and complete muscle spasms a soft mini strokes may have different ones which I have never experienced/seen full on.)

Long story short she went to the hospital and was admitted. Today 4 days after she was admitted (she doesn't have insurance so charity care and other legal matters are ahead of us to boot) but found out she had 2 mini/micro strokes and a heart attack (revealed to us through the EKG results)

I am still shocked but what kills it more then anything is that we are already hurting without the car, after the accident I was in. But now the medicine/doctors visits/in-hope physical therapists all going to cost ALOT of money. My mother is disabled since birth but for years she has been one hell of work horse. Wish our government could actually see this but they have their heads so far up their own asses and degrees tattooing their bodies with ignorant fulfilling political egos as toilet paper.....

The medication a month is going to cost our family $250 (at most)
The doctor visits for her are going to cost us $200 a visit x 2 a month
The in home physical therapist to help her use both legs normally again is going to be almost $200-300 a visit.... up to 4-8 times a month
so around 2,000 dollars+ cause my mother has no medicare/medicaid which we have been denied repeatedly.... Disabled since birth and she was denied for disability as well.


We were barely making it as is....with very few dollars after trying to fight the debt that brother incurred during life that we have to still pay back and only having one pay check cause I sadly haven't had a job for years now....[An aside: I still need to take care of my eyes after 4 years of not going to an eye doctor which is something I need to take care of soon considering I have been getting more and more headaches...]

Here is the part where if you want to help and do what you can, if not that fine too. If you want to delete/remove this journal that's fine, just go onto the next and etc. But if you can and choose to help my thanks to you and those that have come through, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Paypal tip link is handleslikemagic@yahoo.com and the email is my actual PayPal.

Now if you can't donate, you can spread the word for me. Journal in things etc. even word of mouth can be helpful.

I will be putting a discount on most of my stuff when I inventory things in the next two weeks so if you had your eye on something and still want it, message me and you may notice a big drop in price. (on some items)

Their will be commissions/sales opens on my art (even art deals) as well I have done so much that I haven't really updated my commission prices yet to make something look really pretty but alas I'll do my best to update that as well in the next few weeks...

It has been said that one person can make a difference in someone's life, they weren't kidding. *sighs and sniffles* I haven't been sleeping too well either considering worrying about my father who is disabled due to an assault in 2003.... and needs to be monitored and since my mom was in the hospital he could have taken on a seizure from being over-emotional.

Thank you for at least reading the title, and if you read more in, I thank you for continuing and if not, please if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it. For those that I have helped me before, you guys are incredible, and for those that will, just know that you are helping my mom who has been the work horse and even years of pain and dealing with so much stress, is finally in need of help. Thanks for hearing me out and know that you are going to help my family and ultimately this fellow furry...x.x ...

Yours as always, Azu, Azu Gabu...

Heya, fellow furries and scalies, brethren alike.. *Rubs the sides of my arms a bit shakey* I have been quiet for many reasons and more importantly one that had happened to me last night at around 730PM. I was driving my car with my close best friend like a sister to go shopping for a nice gift for my mom for Valentines day, going through a green light at an intersection when a car (female driver) ran the red light and slammed into the side passenger door. Side-air bags deployed and the car began a skid and then rolled over twice landing on its wheels. Shards of glass and crunched up metal everywhere... I'm shaking while typing this...heh... Valentine's day does not like me much huh? .... Anyway.... me and my friend walked away but the entire night was surreal, like a slow motion going through water event.... We both are achy, have bruises, but no visible injuries like a contusion or a laceration....The Police, Fire Fighters, and Paramedics were in shock that nothing else happened to us...

The car is totaled, (2009 Saturn Vue, XE Limited Ed) (waiting on the adjuster to confirm upon review of the circumstances) meaning the entire hood of the car fell downwards when it flipped, the front-side mirror, passenger and driver side windows/doors and even the alternate passenger seat doors and sides were dented. I d..don't know how much this will cost us, I'm worried that the expenses for everything will be too much. The insurance deductible is high (can't release that information). but this could leave me and my family in worse waters then we are in.

*ears lower and looks down* My donations are open if...you can help please do, I hate asking but my family may be in peril, and we could even lose the house(apartment) and with my father's seizure disorder we need a vehicle to get him from doctors, and hospitals and to even get food for the house.....

Paypal is handleslikemagic@yahoo.com

If you can't donate, spread the word, or if you don't want to donate, find something in my commissions or jewelry items, I'll give anyone here a discount depending on what it is.. If you like my work I have prints on DeviantArt for sale too. I have lots of areas Im creative in....Anyway you can help it will be greatly appreciated... *sighs and curls up with a whimper*. I can put up a brave front but I'm shaken up quite a bit...Thanks for reading this, and for not giving me too much hell about this, I hope...

Love you all..
Azu Gabu ...

If any of you want to be Audibles out there, let me know, those are still open, you just make a gift for someone random on the list. Sounds savy? lol...Anyway *wags*

Its a small group this year which would make things a bit easier I hope and I wish you all plenty of fun. If you want a card/trade from me this year, I'll take a few for the holidays. (Info for the update is here : http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2967512/ )

Other then that, the assignments for the Secret Santa were given out, and I HOPE YOU ALL have FUN!~ *Waggles and erfs*

Thank you to those that joined. *Erfs*

DECEMBER 4TH, FINALLY WARNING

Please help me make this successful last day to join in cause I want people to have time to make gifties and cards and just post this all over the place. We had lots last year, we are looking for Card Sender only list and audible positions and of course being apart of my Second ever Secret Santa with a twist. If you can coolies, if you can't spread the word. Monday December 5th the names will be posted!~ Thanks you all *Arfs and waggles*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deadline extended Until December 3rd into the 4th and before the 4th ends the list will be up.. This is the last weekend to join, gives people time and I hope more people to join in this year, which I hope to maybe get a larger number but I'm happy that you all have joined so far. So if you can spread the word PLEASE, do. Its a nice way to spread holiday cheer. Below is a repost but it explains what to do in small form and then in a very indepth explanation. December 3rd last day to join!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Well I'm surprised that in an early start to this but if you can please help fill up more and more people and for those of you that want to know the gist of this, this is multiple things all in one but say you want to join in.

10 people join
9 mini gifts you create/buy with 9 cards sent out, 9 watchers and your Secret Santa person gets another Unique Card and another gift, one that's larger/special. Of course you would have to do the same. SO the more people join, the more gifts one receives.

If you want to only be on a card list, everyone on the SSlist and Card Sender only list will send/receive cards from you.

And if you just want to spread the joy and not get anything, join the Audible list.....

Now back to the rules and the such!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to the "All In!" Secret Santa & Card/Gift List (SSCL-2011)
2nd Annual Secret Santa with a twist hosted by yours truly, Azu Gabu *Softly arfs and waves my tail* Well its that time again and its about time to get the ball started earlier then I did last year but before I begin. This is my reasoning in doing this and hopefully I can "EVERY" year from now on.

Most people like myself have little to no capital because of economy and being screwed. A little holiday joy to those that need a smile or a bunch of smiles some love during a rather cold season in both mind and heart. Warmth like this is what we as furries/scalies/otherkin/humans make the world go round.

For those who joined last year. Thanks. we had about 28 Participants and about 8 Audibles (all that will be explained below).

SSCL-2011 Secret Santa with a Twist / Card List / Audibles
Rules and Explanations:
1) Be sure that if you join this that you plan on doing this. I know that life can have its unexpected bumps in the road but If you are in, plan on being in. ok?
2) All the people that enter no matter if they are on the "All In" Secret Santa & Card List with mini gifts 2011, Sender Card Only, Audibles must have an FA ( a DA watch would be great for all as well) and watch one another. This way you can spread the love all year around.
3) Everyone that joins the SSCL-2011 that isn't an Audible, gets one card from you and a small gift.
Example 28 people join (including yourself) you send out 27 cards and with that 27 mini gifts for those 27, 27 new watchers (if they aren't one yet) and 1
4) Along with #3 you get one Secret Santa Recipient. Meaning that I'll secretly through a randomize (names in a hat as well lol) each person that joins the SSCL-2011 will get one person to send 1 Different/Large Gift and 1 Different Card to their Secret Santa person. That means you send your Secret Santa person 2 gifts, one that you shared with the list and one special/large/unique gift and 2 cards.
5) Card Sender Only: Only sends/receives cards from only those on the list. No small gifts and no Secret Santa person.
6) Audibles: Those that just wish to spread the joy for the sake of making something at random for anyone on the list may become this. As an audible, if you volunteer you give a gift to a person I select at random but don't get a gift or a card in return.
7) Digital Gifts/Cards CAN be sent out but must be personalized for each person who joins and has a later Deadline. (See Deadlines.) [Note: that if you create something digitally if you can send a hard copy/print or laminated thing for your gifts/cards that will be great. So that way they get it to them via mail and a digital copy.]
8) I'll send updates via Emails to each one that's apart of the list regardless of what they are doing, so that way you can keep tabs on whats going on. I hope with no snags this year!~
9) Gifts can be bought or created but please take pictures/scan if you can so that if something happens you can send backups.
10) Make sure you wrap the packages with tape and that all sides are sealed to prevent tampering of any kind.

This way everyone gets something (besides Audibles who get our thanks <3 and lurves) Which if you are apart of the SSCL-2011 with my Digi Twist you give one card and mini gift to everyone on the list, you also send another special card and special gift to your Secret Santa Recipient.
So 10 join, you have 9 new watchers, 9 cards and 9 mini gifts, and 1 secret Santa card & 1 secret Santa special large gift.

If you would like to be apart of this in anyway even spread the news, SPLENDID *waggles*. just make a journal or IM messages to your friends on DA/FA and the like.

For those who want to join please respond to the journal with the following Information:
Heading one of the three:

Thanks for what you will do and what you can. Now for the most important part of this all, the deadlines. Since I'm starting this early this will change things I hope.

Deadlines:
Starting today November 17th til November 28th: All Entries must be given to me at the end of December 1st to be included in the Secret Santa Card & Gift list with a twist.
November 29th : Secret Santa People selected.
November 30th : If something happens, last day to pull out of the SSCL-2011.

December 22nd : Last day for Digital Gifts and Digital Cards (The cards must be unique and sent this way must be sent on the 22nd the 23rd the latest...LATEST...).
Note that if you can't be apart of this after initial date of entry, please PLEASE...Tell me so by the November 30th the latest.

Gifts can be something you create or something bought and the more unique you make your gifts and cards can make the gift even closer to heart. I still cherish every card I have <3. And will be hanging up this year to show that this worked.

To sum it all up this is a Gift List and Card list combined with the traditional Secret Santa and Secret Santa card. Meaning if you do join the SSCL normally, then you make a card and mini gift to all that sign up (besides card only and audibles) and watch all participants no matter what they are doing, and a special Card and Special Large gift for your Secret Santa person. So many ways you get the love spread.
"All In!" Secret Santa & Card/Gift List (SSCL-2011) is in its second year, so things may not go according to any plan but with your help this can be awesomes.

Any questions please feel free to ask me on my YIM or any IM just let me know who you are Email me if you wish at the following: handleslikemagic[at]yahoo.com

Murry Purry Tidings and Super Special Snuggles to all. May your Holiday be filled with joy, love and family. Remember your friends are family too. <3
