Post-FWA and beyond
Posted 16 years agoSorry I had to leave early for FWA, I really wanted to stick around for another night or two and party with folks, but I was glad I got to see people for the little time I did anyway. I enjoyed myself. :)
My girlfriend says, "it was very strange, but it was fun to meet everyone." haha, I think it was a little intense, a bunch of new experiences at once, but she might be up for something else. Still deciding on RCFM or AC this summer, but that'll be decided when I've got classes scheduled.
Got back for rehearsals and the show went great! Just trying to catch up with life now... and you know how that goes...
Sincerely Yours,
NPT

My Father just passed.
Posted 16 years agoIn Louisiana right now, dealing with the business of the funeral and family. My mom's a bit of a wreck.
Sorry I haven't been keeping up lately with people. I thought some of you might want to know about this though. He was and will always be a wonderful, compassionate man who taught me to love and to dance the dance of life with great gusto. A fireman and real-life hero, he will be sorely missed. Smart, loving, took care of his family.... and the world. Did special tours during Katrina, saving flood victims.... I could gush on.. and might sometime.
But for now, I'm helping my mom through the night and getting my own head straight.
Don't know when I'll check again, so thank you for any kind words during this trying time.
Sincerely yours,
NPT

Changing perspectives
Posted 17 years agoLife now is mostly about Solidification.
My life, now, has shifted necessarily from "momentum" to solidification and a re-construction of my academic persona. I'm still as open-minded as ever regarding new ideas and ways of thinking, but the "momentum" of these few months past has led me to attempt to "gel" my experiences into a more solid form, make sense of my memories and my current self. I am re-becoming a semi-static figure if, for no other purpose, to take stock of who I am and my values. This will also inform my perspectives and philosophy of life.
It's a necessary re-construction of identity which has been very much in flux lately.
It's like.. I was ice in a former mold, I began to melt to the point of boiling and mixing with other liquid. Now, I'm re-condensing back to ice in the freezer with a new mold. Change will happen like this again and again, though I'll always be composed of mostly water. We are cyclic beings.

Back from MFM, and Gustav
Posted 17 years agoJust wanted to tell people I got back in one piece and had a great time. Anyone else got pics of it?
Kinda sucked that the hurricane dampened many of the lafurs' time, but it was nice to see everyone come together to help everyone out. Wishing you and yours the best through the next few days. May your power outages be short and your hurricane parties bangin'. :)
Take care, my friends.

Scraps
Posted 17 years agoMoved a bunch of stuff to scraps and got rid of things that shouldn't be in there at all, like other people's badges and stuff. Maybe I can revamp this thing and make some real art or something that doesn't involve pictures of my fursuit recycled over and over again.. haha
Going to try more digital stuff eventually, and I want to be more experimental with anything I do with video.
Going back to school though, so who knows when I'll have the time. Might have some projects there that will work posted up here too, so you never know. :)

AC!!! ~meme too
Posted 17 years agoThis week, I'm working hard to prepare! Staying with CZGoldEdtion and friends...
Meme:
here will you be most of the time during the day/s?
Two words: Fursuit Track.
(Also dances/Dance Competition/Hallways/Etc)
Where are you staying?
Westin! Should be a fursuit floor with CZGoldEdition
Who will you be with?
Gah, who knows, I'll try to hang out with Media and Trav as much as I can, also hope to party with Jill Westibetch herself. Beyond that, I'll probably be bouncing around a lot, just look for the thing in the fursuit.. lol
Do you do free art?
Just dances, if those count. :)
Do you do trades?
YES free art for dances, prices and participation may vary see owner for details, owner has a right to refuse all and any awkward requests.... Also, offer void if male. XD
Do you do badges?
You you like stick figures?
What is your gender?
MAAALE LESBEEEAAANNN
How old are you?
23
Can I touch/hug you?
Probably, Just Ask first, though.
Can I talk to you?
Sure thing, but forgive me if I'm short with you/busy/late to something.
ALSO:
I probably won't buy commissions from you, going cheap on this con. I'm there to have fun, meet people, dance, perform, and partay. I'm sure it's gonna be like $300 as it is, just to get there and stay. No, Lacrimas can't be with me, unfortunately, but I'm determined to see what the Northern Cons are all about! ;D

FWA and my next con
Posted 17 years agoFWA... Was awesome.
Next con: RCFM, right before my B-day.
Who's gonna be there?
Next con: RCFM, right before my B-day.
Who's gonna be there?
Things I'm doing at FWA:
Posted 17 years agoList of things to do and things I'm doing at FWA:
- Socialize! I've realized this is what I do in the fandom, I do fursuit performance and socialize. People I hope to meet:
-Lacrimas <3 You better be there, dammit! ;D
-Anjel and puppy of course!
-Jill!
-Far
-Growly
-Oz Kangaroo
-Dex?
-Media!
-Trisight?
-Jase!
-Kaiya!
-Durango!
-Louvelex
-BJ and Likeshine!
-Pensive?
-Yuchi?
-Probably other people who I'm forgetting, shout out in the comments if you want to meet so i can put you on the list! ;D
People I'm driving down with:
-OMGITSBUNNY XD
-Otter and pan, apparently
-Pip
-Someone who's name I forget because there were two and now I dunno!
- Spend time with
Lacrimas because though we might not see each other until the day after v-day, it's still going to be a nice weekend. Baby, after I spend a few days with my 'rents following FWA, I hope to have a few days block of time with little to do, so maybe I can come over for a few days. ;)
-Participate in the Dance-off
(I was going to be judging this, but after so many people wanted me to actually dance in the dance off, I'll go for it. There's a lot of good dancers going to FWA this year, so who knows who will actually win. I'm kind of excited to see people at their best! ;D)
-Dance at the dances! Hope I'm made of steel by then with all this dace I've been doing for the show I'm in. Massages are welcome, though, as long as I know you and you're not creepy! XD
-Drinks and things with puppy and anj. and the crew
-Drunken fursuit karaoke (looks at jill) The fursuits are optional but the fun is not! ;D
-Go to a Furtopia gathering - Jill and Far, you'll have to help me out in finding it! XP
-Go to a performance panel to learn how to teach a performance panel.. lol
-Lead a dance around the space
- Furry Girl Pow-wow. Okay, so I'm a feminist and an academic, and I was talking to other people about this who wanted me to attend one of these. I'll leave if anyone has a problem, though. Maybe I can drag Lac or someone else around for cover.. lol I also do anthropology stuff, and I'm trying to learn everything about the anthropology/sociology of the fandom, so I'm hoping to participate in more things like this... Yes, I tend to be "that one guy" in a women's and gender studies class. ;P Anyone else want to vouch for me if i decide to go to that? lol
- Fursuit games , but only if they're not lame and/or involve fursuit basketball, like at MFM <3
- Performance art project with Chee????? I have a feeling this will fall through. :(
- Masquerade #1 I won't reveal, but it will be with
BucktownTiger
- Masquerade #2 Will be an artist's jam with
KawazuAwazili
I want our pieces to compliment each other, Kwaz, so we should come up with the same theme. I'd really like to use a tribal rhythm like we had going at RCFM. Something dadaist and surrealistically... I've been thinking about love since te only theme of the con is valentines day. I could do something positive about love and you could be cynical, but don't let that decide for you, decide for yourself and twist it. ;D
- Masquerade #3 (if they let me do another) Might be a solo piece, but I'm having trouble deciding on it. In RL performance work, we've been working with the Fuego song for months http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD6AeQqQ3qc , but OZ, Dex, and friends already used the slower version at FC, so I don't want to be accused of copying, even though my dance partner and I have memorized most of the original choreography to re-do this live onstage for a show. Whatever, other options are:
-Live Action Leekspin (this requires a lot of work because I'd pass out leeks to the audience)
-Lollipop by Mika, because I'm making another dance video to this for the same show, but I dunno if it's sustainable by just one person.
-Skipping a solo piece all together, because I'm now participating in the dance-off.... and I'd rather have time to socialize..
And that's all I have for now, feel free to comment! ;D

V-day Meme, For once
Posted 17 years agoYeah, really.. Typically I'm just full of spit and vinegar on V-Day
1. Are you single or taken?
I suppose the latter ;)
2. Chocolate or flowers?
Chocolate peppermint flowers
3. Will you do anything special for Valentines Day?
Go to FWA, be with Lacrimas for a while. :)
4.Do you like anyone?
Yeh. :)
5. Were you dating anyone last Valentines?
I've never been dating someone through V-Day
6. What would be your dream Valentines date?
We would go to someplace remote, secluded, private, and far off in a place like a beach to enjoy each other's company for a while, then we would go somewhere to drink, dance, and be merry all night long. After which time, we would return to our quarters and create a piece of art, then destroy it and create something we hadn't thought of before, and then trade passionate kisses until neither of us had any energy left, at which point we'd fall asleep quietly in each other's arms... Full of warm fuzzies. ^_^
7. Do you make a big deal about Valentines?
We'll see >.>
8. Have you ever had a secret admirer?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... They don't keep it a secret very well..
9. Would you ever write someone a love letter?
Yes, and I have before..
10. Do you believe in Cupid?
I believe you can be suddenly smitten and infatuated with someone.
11. Do your parents give you presents on Valentines?
Yes, candy and sometimes small gifts.
12. Do you still send out Valentines cards?
Naw, After you hit college, unless you're dating someone or have a lot of close friends, v-day cards seem kinda silly..
13. Do you like candy hearts?
YES! Just as long as they're not hard.. or stale..
15. Is Valentines depressing?
*sighs* it can be, especially if you spend them lonely
16. How do you feel about PDA?
Go for it, just keep it to a minimum in public, especially if you live in a conservative area.
17. How is your love life?
Better. :)
18. Have you ever been dumped on Valentines?
OUch.. no. But I've been denied on valentines, which is just as bad, really...
19. How many roses would you want?
Either one or seven, because those are very specific numbers.
20. Will you have a boyfriend/girlfriend next Valentines?
With any luck.. ;)

Momentum
Posted 18 years agoMy life, now, is all about momentum.
Mecha con 3.0
Posted 18 years agoAlright, I'll bite. Since my ridemates all posted about it, I shall too. My first anime con, and we learned a few things:
-Furries and anime fans are essentially the same thing, only at anime cons there are more older adults and parents with younger kids so things have to stay squeakier cleaner.
-Helping the idea above, Pawstar is taking over all fandoms, and about 30-40% of ALL OF THE ANIME KIDS WERE WEARING KITTY OR PANDA HATS BY THE LAST DAY!
http://www.pawstar.com/
I mean, teacher always told me furries were deviant, but I guess they just see "neko" and "kawaii" when they look at these things. However, their card says: "Goth, Furry, Anime" !!?!!?
-People at anime cons draw furries, sometimes just saying "oh yeah, I think she draws animals...."
-Elevators can take about 15 average weight people. Any more than this or many overweight people will cause a modern elevator go into a protected mode (gears grind down) and you'll have to get someone to open the door on a floor below or above you. If you get trapped in such a situation, take a video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKmG4wFVnpM
-If someone at a con offers you to be in a slasher film and has loli porn posted on their doors, do not, DO NOT take them up on the offer.
-Fangirls are young. They lead fanboys along on a chain. [IMG] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v.....hacon07078.jpg [/IMG]
-Cosplaying contests are all about construction. If you haven't made something truly difficult and innovative, you can't expect to win anything. Also, there will probably be one or fewer awards for performance and it will probably go to the best group drama that was watchable.
-Let me describe to you HOW TO HAVE AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE IF YOU HAVE A FURSUIT: Especially if you have never let someone else try it on, put your fursuit on another person and have them walk around. Then dress them up. Strangest freaking thing! It's you but it's not you, you've associated yourself with the character, seeing yourself in the mirror as that character, but to see yourself as a character outside of yourself is like seeing your body outside of your body! It's an insane out of body experience!!!! THIS IS NOT ME: [IMG] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v.....hacon07046.jpg [/IMG]
-Lastly, if an overweight man (the one in the middle) approaches you and your friends (mostly paying attention to the males), remarking how he likes one guy's "lungs" and saying your character's name lustily under his breath whilst giving you the once over with his eyes... -OR- IF YOU SEE THIS MAN: [IMG] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v.....hacon07144.jpg [/IMG] (in the middle), RUN THE FCUK AWAY!
That is all.
