Just woke up after con...
Posted 12 years agoI hit like... almost no panels all con, got too wrapped up just hanging out and EATING. *flops over and dies cause he gained like 10 pounds* Met a couple awesome furs and wound up staying sober for the majority of the con so I call it an overall win. I'm still trying to come down from the whole experience so it might be bedtime again. *flops over in place until he can find some caffeine*
first con
Posted 12 years agoAt furry fiesta after a very stressful drive. Waiting to check in. *squees * nothing like seeing a suit before we even park.

just letting everyone know I'm still alive
Posted 13 years agoYup... Still here
much needed update
Posted 14 years agoum... yeah, I'm still alive and stuff... didn't realize I hadn't made a journal in over 9 months... really hasn't been anything going on to speak of... been working my craptastic job steadily. I dunno, I'm pretty boring aside from looking to start making fursuits... hopefully.
this week
Posted 15 years agoeh, I'm prolly gonna be kinda quiet this week... spend a lot of time in bed. you see... I work at walmart and this would be the week before blitz (black Friday) if you need to know why this is so much crap for me, go out behind any of your local wal-marts and you'll see that large trailers have magically appeared... this is the overflow from our backrooms in preparation for this one single day... granted I do love blitz... it's absolute madness *giggles and gives an evil grin* but yeah... four mare days of suck till I go on my days off and return to that single crazy-ass day
I's so fluffeh!!!
Posted 15 years agoSo... the suit... it is done <3 the thing I've wanted since I got into the furry fandom at age 12 is finally done. I no longer have to just sit back and watch those crazy fursuiters cause I ish a suiter now! and ish all
Merageshu's fault X3 she's so awesome... just gotta get my paws on some of the pictures and such... and now for the hours of shedding!
edit: link! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4666272/
this was right after we got the body suit done, we've got the couple little problems resolved and I hadn't brushed the seams yet so... XP

so I met this girl...
Posted 15 years agowell... let's see... where do I start about this amazing person that just kinda walked back into my life? She's beautiful and wonderful and amazing, she likes to nibble which I quite enjoy <3 she loves me for me and I live her for her. She doesn't live a million miles away (although it's far enough to keep contact down way below what I'd like) but that's awright, I'm sure we'll work something out before long. She's bubbly and happy and cheerful and just makes me smile to be around her. She totally seems to like my body (although I'm not sure why) and I totally think that she the last one... I don't think she'll ever earn the title "ex" *wanders around, looking a bit lost and giggling* now... where is she... ohyeah *pounces on the wofitty* yay for Azriel!
things I've learned about myself
Posted 15 years agoyeah, I'm shrinking myself again... been just kinda of thinking about things the past few days and came up with a bit that I know about myself:
1. I constantly try and carry the weight of the world on my shoulders, I just can't seem to convince myself that I can't make everyone happy.
2. I hate how big I am, it seems to make me seem scary to others
3. I love to be held more than anything else in the world, it makes me feel safe
4. I tend to beat myself up a lot when I make mistakes, especially ones made when I'm not thinking correctly
5. I've completely lost contact with my family even though we live in the same house
6. I'll jump at the chance to help someone else, but often forget to even buy myself food
7. I feel really bad when I pass by the guy selling newspapers on the corner without buying one
8. I have a hard time changing myself without help
9. I like wearing collars just for the sake of having one on
10. I hate myself for being a hypocrite all the time
11. I need to learn to tell people what's wrong with me more often than just trying to draw attention to myself
12. I have childhood issues because nobody ever listened to me
13. I hate wearing clothes... especially shoes
14. I like making others feel good, mostly by giving massages
15. I seem to like the idea of sex moreso than the actual act... I tend to be very awkward in such situations
16. I wish I would start writing again, but only seem to be able to do so when I'm in a loving relationship
17. I keep hoping I'll find a dominate figure to help me change myself to stop being so abrasive
18. I curse a lot and really hate it
19. I cry a lot when I observe myself
20. I don't think I've ever been mad at someone more than a couple hours, after that I'm usually standing back to see what went wrong
21. I blame myself more often than I should
22. I don't really feel at home anywhere anymore
23. I sleep more than I should
24. I doubt everything
25. I wish I could just give up on love, but I'm addicted to the idea of having a single person who's life I can try and make as good as possible... but that's probably not what love is...

better (kind of)
Posted 15 years agowell, made an ass of myself again, guess I'm pretty good at that by now. anywho... done being pissed at a couple different people so... >.< time for apologies and such. I've got a couple things I've got to work on to keep this crap from happening again. aand... I think that's it... yeah.
thoughts on life
Posted 15 years agoreally don't expect anyone out there to read this or even care, if you hate hearing people bitch about life than go back now, in fact, please don't read this unless you actually care about me (again, really shouldn't be anyone)
I've always been someone that tries his best to make others happy. I somehow convinced myself a long time ago that making other happy made me happy... such really isn't the case. looking back at my past reflections on myself I thought I'd be happy if someone took care of me a little, maybe held me close from time to time to give me that warm, glowy feeling... all that's bullshit too. I finally figured it out... I want someone to genuinely care about me. And I want them to care just because they care about me, not because I buy them things or help them out of tough situations as I've done purely out of habit my entire life. I've kind of known about this problem for a long time, thus why I originally wanted a dominant figure that would ease me out of it. I actually googled how to be happy once, and at the top of the first result was step one: don't be a people-pleaser... but that's all I've been my entire life... I can't help it, it's just how I am...
I'm sick... I wanna be better... but I need help...

acting my age
Posted 15 years agoeh... kinda took a long look at my life, and I think I came up with my problem.... I'm too damn old for my age. looked at where I was going and what I was doing and realized that I've just been taking things way too seriously for too long. Kinda blame my parents for part of it, then again, I guess i was the one to listen to them a bit too well. Anyway, I'm turning over a new leaf and am going to try and enjoy life instead of doing what I've been doing. I'm only 20 for Christ's sake... I really should act like it.
I need help...
Posted 15 years agowork's finally gotten to me, I get stressed out and aggravated at everything now, and I have no outlet... sat around a bit and tried to figure out what I enjoy doing and honestly I just don't know anymore. I hate sitting on the computer, but there's noting else to do. school registration is in a week and I know if I throw schoolwork on top of this mess I'm gonna break down all together. don't worry though... I'm not suicidal again... I've got friends that need me and other things I promised people so really it's my not wanting to break promises keeping me alive right now... I really don't know what's gonna happen from here, but at least I asked for help this time...
bleh
Posted 15 years agojust... feeling kinda shitty all of a sudden. Iunno... having second thoughts about... well, everything... so... yeah >.< guess ther'll be someone there to fix my shit again... anyway... back to life
umm... whole lotta firsts
Posted 15 years agoso um... yeah... getting my first fursuit... going to my first con before long... if I hadn't been sick since last night due to caffeine it'd be so much sweeter right now >.<
no really... I've been a furry since I was like... 7-8 (got real big into VCL and learned to avoid "stuff" and poked around the odd social site... that kind of thing) and set my sights on my own fursuit at like... 12 so... once I wake up and my belleh calms down I'll go back to freaking out =^.^=

update type thinger
Posted 15 years agoyeah, boring life here. umm... besides me being home alone for a week next week really nothing gonna be happening :/
worried and stuff
Posted 15 years agoI unno, prolly being all apranoid and stuff but yeah, havn't really heard from a lot of my friends in... well a bit too long. Eh, other than that I'm working on getting a job that has better hours (not middle of the night) and stuff like that... mebe Best Buy. *shrugs*
yeah, another spread out update on me
Posted 15 years agoum... not much to say, I'm in college again, found me some nice friends, stress levels are down (except for work) and um... *blushes* I think I may have recently kinda... fallen for someone >.<
havn't updated in quite some time
Posted 16 years agoAlright, for those of you that I do talk to often you may notice I'm only on every few days or so. This is a combination of issues with only one person in the house being able to use our internet at a time and I've just been so stressed that I tend to just lay down or play video games. The whole stress issue is because I've been holding two jobs and am looking into going back into school on top of it along with (here's 90% of it) the fact that I have no friends I can go and hang out with. Granted I do quite enjoy talking with everyone, I just... need to get out of the house... that's pretty much it... I unno, maybe I'll get over it @.@
Less stress nao
Posted 16 years agodoing better, wish I could get on and talk more... only real stress is juggling two jobs during the weekend and a few friends worrying me... um... I've got a good friend that makes some really nice collars and stuffs for a good price, wanted to kinda get that out so I didn't have to bug peoples I know individually, I can get people in touch with him if you ask (he hates putting his info out in public) um... not a whole lot else going on... trying to convince myself to start up writing again, pretty much always in the back of my mind. Past that I'd love to have more people drop in to chat ^^ I loves meeting new people. oh and last thing is I've finally decided to start seriously planning/working on my fursuit... just gotta practice a bit more... any info on where to get fur that I don't have to buy by the bolt would be appreciated.
recent me... or something
Posted 16 years agoyeah... update on my well being for those select few that may care... I'm broke and lonely... I owe the government like $800 in taxes which I may or may not have by the due date. car payment. living expenses, all that happiness... oh, and I can't find a full time job. brighter side is I've been writing a small bit, hopefully it turns into something and I can start posting things again. Also have been sewing... if I get good I might start making some stuff for myself and maybe a few friends. but yeah... overall all is well assuming I don't get kicked out of the house.
tagged... myself... kinda
Posted 17 years agoShamelessly stole this from kingrondo... yeah, someday something will happen where I can actually update this thing...

Fire!
Posted 17 years agoYeah, as some of you might know, I work at a paintball field. Well, Yesterday, sometime around noon, a fire started at the edge of the property and burnt through about 3/4 of the forest. anyway, in the middle of it all was me and another employee trying to put out at least part of it with a shovel and a boot (and people ask me why I wear military boots) anyway, I survived and we managed to rescue the main field. and btw, grass fires are HOT! oh, yes the fire dept was there. the volunteers were further down putting out the large field and the city firefighters were sittin around watchin it burn.
