Rainfurrest meme thingy.
General | Posted 10 years agoWhere are you staying? -
The Clarion, it's like right across the street from the con hotel.
What day are you getting there? -
Thursday morningish.
Who will you be with? -
Lotsa people. @~@
There's a total of eight of us going and staying in two rooms.
Do you do free art? -
Sure! 'Cept you shouldn't expect anything good.
Do you do trades? -
Sure! Gimmie stuffs and I'll give you stuffs. Like I said, don't expect anything good.
Do you do commissions? -
Yah! Sure! Uh... $100 and you can have me actually make a valiant attempt to draw?
Do you do badges? -
Pffft. If you want one!
What is your gender? -
I'm one of those male persons with that weird antenna that doesn't get much reception.
How old are you? -
Older than the hills... As long as those hills are younger than 25 years.
Are you taken? -
Nope. Available but hard to get.
What suits will you have? -
This is vacation for me. No suits for me~. :P
Nah, I don't have any fursuits, but I'd totally wear one if I did.
Can I touch you? -
Uh... Yes? I mean, don't like... creep touch me, but like... I'm not a germophobe or anything.
Can I talk to you? -
Yes, yes you can. Please do! @o@
Can I buy you lots of drinks? -
You sure can, but be warned I have no idea what I like to drink as far as alcoholic beverages go. Most of the stuff I've tried tastes godawful.
Can I hug or snuggle with you? -
As long as you don't have bad BO and I at least know you somewhat well enough for a hug. Don't surprise me though, that's the best way to end up being hit.
Snuggling... Uh, save that for when you know me quite well.
How tall are you? -
10' on the dot.
Nah, I'm like... 5'9"? I think? Maybe?
Are you nice? -
I am indeed nice, or at least I try to be. :3
Are you cliquey? -
*clicks a clicky pen a bunch* Is this what that means?
I don't think I am. o-o;
Do you have an artist table? -
I do indeed. It's not at the con though. It's at the hotel, in my room. It will most likely be absolutely covered with clothes, cards, and other random things.
Do you like parties? -
Not really... >~<; I'm scared of big groups and talking to new people... and dancing... and stuff.
If I see you, how should I get your attention? -
There's a very complicated multi-step process you can follow right here:
1. Perform a Mayan ritual of sacrifice using at least one fursuiter and two people who have no idea what furries are.
2. Chant the following "Eeb malak boon treela chok chok mau." while awaiting my arrival.
3. Have a gift basket prepared for me, filled with apples, pears, bananas, and at least $400 in cash.
4. When I appear, state that the sacrifice was for me, give me the gift basket, and then perform a disturbingly sexual belly dance.
OR!
Disregard all of the above and just walk up to me and say hi or something. Either that or shout "Nick!" and I'll probably look around while you (hopefully) approach.
Can I hang out with you? -
Yeah, if I know you or get to know you and you seem like a swell person, then sure! 8D
How can I find you? -
Look for a little shy guy clinging to his friends as they wander the convention.
My badge will have bunches of bat things on it, and the name on it is MKCompy.

Adventures in Management: The one where he goes on vacation.
General | Posted 10 years agoIt's time for another exciting installment of Adventures in Management~! I'm sure you're all thrilled, all 3.5 of you reading this.
So it's been around a year, month, and day since I've become an assistant manager at the theater, and I've been through the craziest of shitstorms and the calmest of days.
I've had days so boring that I willingly took up the duty of counting inventory (and that's something I NEVER want to do ever again, and never really liked doing to begin with.) to days that were so busy that we have a sign up in the office dedicated to that day. (That sign says Attendance record: 5277, for those who are curious.)
I've dealt with the most chill customers ever, to the most high-strung bitch this state has to offer. And y'know... As much as I hate them all, they're what makes the job ok. Otherwise I'd be ramming my head against the wall with boredom each day I came in.
As far as particular instances... I'll tell a story of my own encounter in just a moment, but at the moment this thing stands out in my mind. This is told second-hand, as I did not encounter this neanderthal, but a coworker did, and told me about it to cheer me up a bit on a particularly stressful day. So here's the story:
Lady comes in, goes up to the kiosks where you can either purchase tickets or pick up your reserved tickets. Spends a minute or two fiddling with it before coming up to box office. She tells the coworker "I'm trying to pick up my tickets for Pitch Perfect, but it's only letting me buy tickets, or pick up tickets for a movie I didn't buy." Coworker asks: "What movie did it give you? I can get those tickets changed out. Maybe you'd accidentally bought the wrong ones?" Idiot responds: "It's for this movie called Will Call. I've never even heard of it. Is it any good?" Coworker is fighting back laughter at this point: "Will call isn't a movie, it's your reserved tickets."
Don't know what happened beyond this point aside from the dumb blonde (she was blonde, as confirmed by employee) getting her tickets, but WOW I'm amazed that people can be that slow.
As far as my own encounter, it was with a particularly sassy bitch who would constantly interrupt me and I ended up being "that manager" who just gave her a pass to make her shut the fuck up. What happened was that we'd sold an entire theater EXCEPT for one broken seat, which is clearly marked off in the auditorium with tape going around the entire thing. It's quite apparent that you should not be sitting in the seat. (Plus we have assigned seating, and the seat is blocked off in our system, so it shouldn't be sold anyways.) Well, dumb bitch decides to take this seat, has her mentally handicapped kid or whatever sitting in it. The problem with the chair is that the armrest literally falls off of it. Everything else is fine, but yeah, can't sell it cause of the armrest. Anyways, halfway through the movie, armrest falls over, and her bitchometer starts going full tilt. Long story short, it took half an hour before I just gave her a fucking pass even though it was her own fault for sitting in the chair that is clearly marked that it should not be sat in.
ANYWAYS! Journal title time! I'm going on vacaaaaaaaaation~! This has been the first year in about... five or so years which my family has gone on vacation, and I'm going with. We're taking an Alaskan cruise. Should be pretty cool. The only issue: I don't get to take my laptop. Sooooo room time will be boring, but otherwise I'll be spending all day (hopefully) doing fun stuff. Will be gone for like 9-10 days, and I'm dreading logging back on to this website to see how many submissions I'll have to sort through. In all honesty I might just hit the Nuke button once I get home.
And then! Once I'm home, there will be 8 weeks and 2 days until VACATION NUMBER TWO~! Yeah... Family decided that we're going to be doing TWO vacations this year. Number one is the already-mentioned cruise, number two is a bus to Yellowstone to see all that stuff. I'm iffy on this thing, and hope the smell of old/death is not overpowering on the bus.
AND THEN! Once I'm home, I'll have another two weeks before my own personal vacation to Rainfurrest~! 8D Whooooo~!
And I figure that's enough of an update for now. I have a shitload of art I need to post, and I might do that tomorrow, but we'll see. Peace for now folks. *waves*

New Year's Resolutions
General | Posted 11 years ago1. Finish more games. I have a GIANT Steam library, and I haven't played a huge portion of the games I own. I've finished hardly any of the ones I HAVE played.
2. Watch less Youtube videos. I need to cut down to just my favorite people and stop watching the other garbage.

Net Neutrality - Read it
General | Posted 11 years agoThis is a direct copy and paste from 
StokerBramwell. Please read this. This is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6111361/
Man, I bet you're sick of hearing about this, huh? Not on little hobby sites like this, but on the internet at large. All the big sites like Google and Tumblr and Wikipedia. You've probably seen a ton of your friends on Facebook and Twitter posting about it. I bet you'd love to never hear the words "Net Neutrality" ever again at this point.
Well, you might have gotten your wish. Because we're as close to a closed, gatekeeper-controlled, corporately-run internet as we have ever been. And sites like the one you're reading this on right now have the most to lose.
Youtube and Google and the like will probably be fine. They've got the money to pay off the ISPs. They may even be able to avoid getting locked into exclusivity deals, which would be the deathblow for the internet right then and there. But think about all of your favorite little niche hobby sites, like this one. Think about an internet where absolutely none of them are accessible, because none of them can afford to pay the extortion which Time Warner, Comcast, AT&T, and the other handful of ISPs are poised to be able to collect.
This is the reality we're facing in the next few months.
Here are the links for how we can help fight it:
This is a direct letter to the FCC
1) Click http://www.fcc.gov/comments
2) Scroll to 14-28 Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet (direct link http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=qsp2r Make sure 14-28 is in the Proceeding Number)
3) Fill out the form and comment "I want Internet service providers classified as common carriers"
4) Done
If you need a better overview of what's actually going on (and what's at stake), click here: http://www.savetheinternet.com/net-.....-need-know-now
If you prefer your info in (humorous) video form, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjOxNiHUsZw
And if you think this is not a big deal, or that people are making too much out of it, or that it will magically solve itself without doing anything: I'm afraid you're wrong. If anything, we might be UNDERSTATING the importance of this issue. Please, if you have any stake in the internet at all, do something to help protect it. Or else we all lose.
Thank you.
Please, please do what you can to help. I don't want to have to pay extra to access my favorite websites, and I'm fairly certain that nobody else does either.

Well, you might have gotten your wish. Because we're as close to a closed, gatekeeper-controlled, corporately-run internet as we have ever been. And sites like the one you're reading this on right now have the most to lose.
Youtube and Google and the like will probably be fine. They've got the money to pay off the ISPs. They may even be able to avoid getting locked into exclusivity deals, which would be the deathblow for the internet right then and there. But think about all of your favorite little niche hobby sites, like this one. Think about an internet where absolutely none of them are accessible, because none of them can afford to pay the extortion which Time Warner, Comcast, AT&T, and the other handful of ISPs are poised to be able to collect.
This is the reality we're facing in the next few months.
Here are the links for how we can help fight it:
This is a direct letter to the FCC
1) Click http://www.fcc.gov/comments
2) Scroll to 14-28 Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet (direct link http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=qsp2r Make sure 14-28 is in the Proceeding Number)
3) Fill out the form and comment "I want Internet service providers classified as common carriers"
4) Done

If you prefer your info in (humorous) video form, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjOxNiHUsZw
And if you think this is not a big deal, or that people are making too much out of it, or that it will magically solve itself without doing anything: I'm afraid you're wrong. If anything, we might be UNDERSTATING the importance of this issue. Please, if you have any stake in the internet at all, do something to help protect it. Or else we all lose.
Thank you.
Please, please do what you can to help. I don't want to have to pay extra to access my favorite websites, and I'm fairly certain that nobody else does either.
I think I'm all caught up.
General | Posted 11 years agoI think I'm all caught up with art that I've gotten. If I'm not, please let me know. X3 I'm SO BAD at keeping up with these things. I blame... Uh... I dunno. I blame the tides.
OC Interview Meme (Yay Meeeeememememe)
General | Posted 11 years agoSo this looked pretty neato. Yay character building?
1. Choose one of your OC's.
2. Your OC must answer every question as truthfully as possible.
3. Journal title should be "OC Interview".
4. When you're done, tag as many people as you wish. Feel free to steal if you want!
5. Have fun!
1. Hi! What's your real name and nickname?
"My name is Nikolas. You can also call me Nik, or Batty I guess. A few of my friends call me that, mostly 'cause they don't know any other bats."
2. Interesting... what's your current age?
"I'm an olllld fart. Twenty four years old. Going to need a cane next birthday."
3. Uh-huh. What's your favorite food?
"Well... I like apples and bananas a lot. Gros Michel bananas, not stupid Cavendish bananas."
4. And your favorite drink?
"Oh, uhm... Root beer is always good. I think I'll go with that."
5. Confession time! Who's your crush/lover?
"Oh goodness... Uhm... I uh... I dunno... I don't... err... really have any crushes..."
6. Aww! Have you kissed yet?
"Err... I uh... I have... Yeah... I've kissed a few times..."
7. Classic question! What's your favourite colour?
"Green is good."
8. Who's your favorite author?
"My favorite author... Uhm... My most recent that I can remember is David Wong. He wrote John Dies at the End and This Book is Full of Spiders."
9. Now what's your biggest fear?
"Bees are pretty scary. Bees, and wasps, and stuff like that. I hate stinging bugs... I also hate public speaking..."
10. *stifles a giggle* I'm not laughing... *bursts out laughing* Sorry. Any siblings?
"What the heck are you laughing for? ... Well anyways, I've got a sister and a brother. Both older than me."
11. Almost done, it's only twenty questions. Who's your hero?
"Almost? This is halfway... My hero is... Shit, I dunno... If I have to have an answer I guess I'll just go with my dad."
12. Okay, who's your worst enemy?
"YOU! Just kidding." *sticks tongue out* "I dunno this one either... My boss? I mean, she is kinda a twat."
13. What would you do if your hero and your worst enemy got together?
"Err... That'd be kinda awkward... Do you mean like... If they met? Or... got together like... dating? I mean, if they just met, I just don't think they'd get along. Then again nobody gets along with my boss really. If they ended up dating though... Well that'd just be awkward for me I guess."
14. Interesting... what would you do if you met your creator?
"Creator? You mean like... some sort of god? I don't really believe in any sort of gods. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there aren't any, but I just kinda, y'know, don't care about them. I guess if there was one though, I would probably just thank it for making me. I uh, don't think it'd be too pleased with me though, for not bothering to think of it."
15. Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?
"I'm already grown up. When I was young though, I wanted to be a cop."
16. What's your worst nightmare?
"Uhm... I dunno. Dying? I do kinda want to avoid that..."
17.What's your life-long dream?
"To find someone to love... That'd be real nice..."
18.What would you do if your life-long dream came true?
"Well... Uhh... Live happily... And err... Other stuff..."
19. Okay, where's your favorite place to relax?
"I like going to the library on occasion, but I mostly just like to hang out in my room. It's nice and quiet, and I've got the lighting set up just right, and all of my books and my laptop~."
20. Last question! What do you spend most of your time doing?
"Reading. I like to read a lot of things. Books, articles on the internet, just about anything."
1. Choose one of your OC's.
2. Your OC must answer every question as truthfully as possible.

Helping a friend out: Do you like MLP?
General | Posted 11 years agoMy buddy Stoker () is needing finances for multiple reasons. If you like MLP, go take a look at the auction on Ebay he has up right now.
His journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5947218/
His eBay item for sale: MLP My Little Pony Nightmare Moon Fan Favorites Box Set - Unopened - Free Shipping
http://www.ebay.com/itm/301239889268?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649
Honestly can't say much about the MLP item he's selling, considering I don't much care for the show myself. It looks like it's like... all of the ponies or something. Like I said. No idea. x3

Adventures in Management: Day 2
General | Posted 11 years agoWhere's day one? There is no day one! Reason: Day one was like a normal day in box, but I was able to wander around more often.
--
SO! For those of you who don't know, (Like, all but 2-3 of you) I've gotten a promotion to management. Today was my first, real, honest day as an assistant manager. I work at a theater, to clarify.
Let me say this. Being a manager is god damn easy. I literally spent a couple hours with just... nothing to do... at all.
I dealt with a couple minor issues with customers. One was over a mildly crazy customer and some seating changes.
Another was a group of four that bought tickets for a show on Thursday and came in today.
Other than that I helped out box office since we were short a person, wandered aimlessly, bullshitted with the ushers, and generally settled in.
And then we closed.
And that's where the real fun began. Roughly three hours counting money, coupons, and various other things. Holy, fucking, shit.
Don't get me wrong, it's easy, but SO. FUCKING. TIME. CONSUMING! AAAAAARRRRRRRGH!
I assume this will get easier/faster with time, but holy cow! I never realized that that was a normal night.
--
More to come as I feel like it.

Back from FWA~!
General | Posted 11 years agoBoo~! I'm back from Furry Weekend Atlanta. I wanna go back. ono
Had a lot of fun, met a couple new folks, saw two people which knew me but only as an acquaintance and hope to talk to them all soon.
Got a t-shirt, a pin, and a last minute drawing from a talented artist before I had to leave for home. Had a blast hanging out with friends, even though I was a bit chickenshit and wouldn't go dancing. >~< Too scary to dance in crowds.
---
Also, commission ideas~.
1. Badge: "mkcompy" on top, "Just a little batty" on bottom, image of Nik smashing something with a mallet. Still debating image somewhat.
2. Image, funny: Bat in elevator, arms spread to sides saying Elevator's full, when it's clearly empty behind him. One to three people in front glaring at him. (Reyn, Jeri, Daldon.)

Woke up, went to work, came home and now I have 568 submissions and 190ish journal entries.

Will work through the 500+ submissions later tonight. Welcome back FA.
