This was a nice place to start building connections in the furry fandom with, but I have since moved on elsewhere. I'll occasionally use this to favourite things, but for the purpose of posting new content and interacting with folks I am no longer going to use my FA. Any new content I make can be found on my Weasyl page which has the same username as my FA, or for a more ready way to interact with me use my twitter handle: Lucian_Lutrae. Sorry if this comes as a disappointment to folks, but I just haven't been using this darn thing the way I used to and I figured I may as well make it official that this profile is essentially defunct.

So  Davuu is doing this icon challenge where he's making icons for only £1 each. The journal where he's doing this is here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5147824/

http://www.cat-language.com/ I have a feeling that y'all would appreciate this programming language.

So I have had this DA for about two years and I've only now started to use it. Anyone else around here use DA? http://thespiesman.deviantart.com/

I've been a bit busy and such, so I haven't had a chance to do things like update journals, keep track of messengers, etc etc. I'll try to keep better track of all this stuff though, and I have also dusted off an old twitter account I made a while back that I intend to use every now and then to keep up with the shenanigans of all y'all furries. Feel free to follow me there if you wish: https://twitter.com/Lucian_Lutrae

Come at me!

I hereby declare this to be TMI Thursday!

I'm just going to open up this Journal to be an Ask me Anything journal. You read that right, go ahead and ask me anything.

Hey y'all! Just thought I'd give y'all in the Twin Ctiies area a heads up and say that I am not going to be around for a month. I should be back in town towards the beginning of September.

It kind of sucks that I am not in the lab anymore, but I look forward to the upcoming final year of undergraduate. After that, I hope that I'm going to grad school! This application process is looking to be one big, expensive headache. I've got at least 10 universities in mind, and I may even apply to a couple more to help my admission chances. Each of them have a pretty hefty price tag as well for the application fees, ranging from $70-ish Canadian, to about $150 Canadian with a few other Canadian and US dollar amounts in between. At the moment I'm considering... at least 7 universities in Canada in mind and 4 in America. McGill, U of Toronto, UBC, U of Manitoba, U of Alberta, Carleton U and Queen's U are the Canadian places I have in mind, and Stanford, UC Santa Cruz, UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara are the schools I have in mind in the States. I hope that by casting a wide net over the places I could go to in Canada I'll end up somewhere there, but if I have to be in the USA I'm going to purposefully choose the only state (California) with plentiful redeeming qualities to apply to grad schools in. I am applying only to places that I know have particle physics programs, in particular programs that look to answer some of the questions involving neutrinos or dark matter.

However, I have at least the first step done: taking that blasted general GRE. It's not required in any of the places in Canada that I have looked at, but a strong score never killed anyone. Plus, I needed a score to apply to the schools in the US anyways. Now I have to contact graduate admissions people and professors, line up my letters of recommendation, draft a statement of purpose for each university, update my CV, taking the Physics Subject GRE, and then finish up this senior year with a strong finish. Wish me luck y'all, but if anyone has advice that would be appreciated too.

A few jobs, and hopefully I can get a few more.
9. Slipped On Ice?
Yes, especially in the Midway area of the Twin Cities. They don't know how to salt the sidewalks here and then it results in at least a few centimetres of ice on the sidewalks from all the buildup of snow and the cold.

No
12. Bullied Someone On The Internet?

Not without a good reason like pneumonia tearing up my lungs.
22. Gotten Arrested?
Almost, but they were given the most vague description that could be generalized to any man in the winter.

24. Been To A Wedding?
Several, and I hope that one day I could have my own. :3

I've seen a few other discussions about it floating around on FA, so I thought I'd open up that can of worms on my little corner of the internet here. What are y'all's thoughts on it? Do y'all prefer circumcised vs uncircumcised? Do you have any personal feelings about your own experiences involving it?

Personally, I regret that I never had a bit of damn say in the matter, and I find the practice of circumcising people who don't have the capability to consent (ESPECIALLY for religious reasons, and even more so if particular practices involved cause me to question whether or not I should let children around the person executing the practice in the first place.) to be morally abhorrent with the due exception of medical necessity. If you have the ability to consent and you want to go through that body modification, it's your body though and I ain't stopping you. I don't have a particular preference for cut or uncut as far as dicks go though, and like the penis regardless.

Also, when I was looking through the  gayfurries journal on this matter I came across a resource for anyone that wants to reverse some of the damages of a circumcision you never consented to. http://www.restoringforeskin.org/ seems to be a good starting point.

Yep, you read that right. Y'all could ask me almost anything on this particular journal. I say almost because there are just some questions I'm not going to respond to via comments, but may respond to that person via notes. Now have at it!

So I just thought I'd do one right now. I'll try to do more than just simply lurk and click the +watch and +favorite buttons and actually interact with y'all. So, how are y'all doing? Anything new going on? Also, thanks for all the new watches and faves. :3

So my birthday is tomorrow and I'm going to definitely try to enjoy this as much as possible. Are there any drinks that I should try at some point during this week? What sort of alcoholic beverages do y'all like to consume?

Yeah so now  velfred and I are no longer mates. I do not want to talk about what happened, so don't even bother to ask about it. I'll just promptly tell you to fuck off.

I wish I could have made it last longer, but sadly I have classes to go back to. It was a fun week getting to spend time with my wuffie  velfred though. I'll miss him dearly and the time we spent this week with each other.

Right now I'm enjoying the company of my wuff  velfred for the spring break.

and it is simply BRILLIANT! I have had several moments of awesome, including snickering to myself on the inside as I handed a £10 note to gain entry to St. Paul's Cathedral so I could climb all the way to the top and get a good view of London/Westminster. The reason why this is hilarious: on every £10 note there's a picture of Charles Darwin on the reverse side. Well just thought I'd update everyone on what was going on and why I haven't been online as much as I usually am.

What would you do FA?

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2WDYE.....e-role-playing

It's pretty cool how these kinds of games actually help people become a bit more social.

Don't expect me to be cleaning it up because I am taking too long cleaning up my own.
