Yesterday I turned 26! Amazing! :P

Wow i'm getting old. :/ Well I haven't updated my FA in that long so I have some submissions to submit!

I'm 25 years old today! That is all~

MFF 2015 recap-
Where to start. I took a very different approach this time then I have the previous four cons I have been apart of. First off, I decided to go a week in advance, I wasn't going to go but I figured...what the hell. I missed Thursday because of work, right after work (12am) I picked up a friend, went home, changed clothes, and left for Rosemont, IL. Got there 7am central time. Skipping to the early monday morning, I left at 1am central and got home at 9am eastern after sleeping in the car for an hour because i was so tired I was hallucinating and panic braking over nothing, and even then it was a brutal 80 miles after that finishing the trip to keep myself awake, but I made it. Good news is I missed all the Monday traffic at least.

I barely went to any dances, didn't go to ANY panels, and never retreated to my room for a break. It was all about being social. I wrote down a list of 54 people i wanted to meet, and I got to see/chat with 97% of them, even just for 30 seconds in some cases, and I met several new people that weren't even on the list! I'm really happy I was able to meet and talk with so many furs I have been wanting to for quite a while now. Met Rob Hahn and he bought me 1st mixed drink ever, which I loved till I attempted to get up off the bar stool 30 minutes later and nearly fell on my ass, and proceeded to stumble down the stairs back into the lobby. Yes, after ONE drink. The next day i had another one. XD I am the largest derp in the world when drunk and couldn't care less. x3

This year really seemed larger then last year and the numbers show that. 5,606 total registered attendees, and who knows how many people were there that didn't register.
I didn't really spend/buy as much as I have in the past due to all the job crap that has happened this year, but that's ok, I'm happy I was able to make it period!

Roomed with Shangs Mike, Munchy, and the Mystery "A" guy i didn't get to know that well sadly.

Overall, It was a really nice con, not quite as amazing as AC as been for me but a certainly a fun time and much better then last year's MFF.

Last week I started my new job, seems like it's going pretty well so far. :3

Well, today I was fired from my job because of, quote, lack of acceptable performance. Their opinion, not mine. Man, what a cluster-fuck of a year this has been. Hopefully things will turn around, I'm REALLY hoping they do.

So I have a bunch of stuff for sale if anyone wants it. My 2014 Impala, my 50" Plasma TV with stereo, etc.

Today is June 15th. Which means, IT'S MAH BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!!!

Man, I'm 23 today. Sheesh I'm old.

I really do need serious mental help....I have been pushing my problems away for too long and now everything is closing in on me, I feel trapped in darkness...my life situation is killing me, quite literally. I don't care about anything anymore, including my own life. I have to force myself to eat and I barely can even do that. Stress and anxiety are eating away at me, I need to make decisions but it seems so impossible after seemingly being cornered in a wall and slowly being burned to death. Everyone has their breaking point, after 1.5 years of pushing away my problems with laughter and furries and trying to enjoy life....I can't do this anymore...

I'll be there December 4th-8th. Hope to see you all there! I wanna chat with, or at the very least meet the furs I met at AC and the many furs I haven't met in person yet. Woohoo! :D

Hey everyone, just wanted to post an update about myself, I went under surgery and had all 4 wisdom teefs removed on Thursday. It's now day #4, so I'm doing better and the swelling is going down, still some pain of course though. Can't wait to eat real freaking food again. Heh.

Till next time!

I made my own profile at Furgather, if anyone is interested or knows about it!

Add me if you want. :3 *wag*


FurGather is basically a furry FaceBook. That actually works. owo

Aside from working crazy hours, and having tons of fun at various furmeets, along with nasty neck problems. But the big thing is, this community has pretty much turned me gay, I think it was hidden in the back of my mind for a few years, just wasn't with the right group of people till now. So..thanks? Haha.

Just pre-registered for Midwest Fur Fest 2014!! :D Still got to work out hotel details, but either way I'll see you are there! Who is going anyway?

OH MY GOSH. I got home from AC a few hours ago, and it was, I think, the most fun I have had in my entire life. I had SO much fun, met lots of new friends, had a great time at some panels, events, and overall just...everything was awesome. I loved it, it was just way too short. I realized THIS, is what I have been missing in my life, THIS was that missing link in the chain I've had for as long as I can remember. I finally found it.

Many thanks go out to all my new friends for the advice and support, and of course, the fun furry times.

Woohoo, I turn 22 today! Man, I'm getting old, haha. :P
