So, the last journal said I'm turning 21, well I'm 23 now and a college graduate. A lot has changed since I made a journal last on FA! Anyway, I am making this to inform anyone who cares that I will be moving out. I landed a job as a Wildlife Removal Specialist out in Fairfax, Virginia.

This is going to be a whole new adventure for me, for as long as I can remember, I've been in Iowa. Though I was born in Texas, Iowa has been where I grew up and learned all my lessons to date. I went through grade school just north of Ames and college at Iowa State. I have plenty of friends that WILL remain friends, nothing can break the bonds I've made here or erase the memories I've made. You all are so wonderful to those Iowa and Illinois furs I've come to know so well. Can't wait to hang out at cons and hopefully I can visit once I get some spare cash in my pocket.

There are plenty of opportunities in my future and I know this adventure will go well. It will be weird saying I'm a Virginia fur but I'm sure I'll get used to it :3 Also, with the unlikely possibility of this working, does anyone know of anyone needing a roommate around the Fairfax area or cheapish housing? xD Cheapest apartments I've been finding are around a grand a month >.> Crazy compared to Iowa.

So my birthday is coming up, 2 weeks from today, May 24. Ima be 21! :D With that being said, I wanna know what people think my first drink should be. I've never had alcohol O.O!

So i lost my phone in a friends couch. We tried to get it out for 2 hours even after we called it so much to see where it was that the battery ran dry. So sorry to all who might try and text me in the near future. This week has been Hell but I don't wanna complain, just letting people know why I may not text back.

Who wished me Happy B-Day, those who were contemplating wishing me happy birthday, those who care for me, and those who made me amazing gift art. It is really nice to know that people care about me and know that I care for you all too! Also, to whom it may apply to, I can't wait to see you all at Stormcon on Sunday :DDD

I will be picking up and around 9:50am in front of their dorm. Then I will pick up after that. I still need your address, if you can PM me it. Or is it on Iowafurries website? I'm all sort of excited! Also if you can, Nbowa asked that people bring soda or side, so Lobo and NKL, do yall have any extra dinning dollars? ^_^ Woot! Please, let me know if plans have changed. The party is said to go 12-12 but if people need to be back earlier I can try and make accomidations, hopefully people don't need to be back too early cause Nbowa's is awesome xD

Also if you have money I will take maybe a $5 bill :p

 dustyfoxy is back in town and wants to chill with us. So we need to find a day and eat/chill with him, aight?

 nbowa is having a party on Sunday the 27th of this month. There will be a lot of furs there, so it would be a great way to meet area furs and make friends. I am offering rides should people want to join, I'll take donations as its around $20 for the 2 hours then and 2 hours back roundtrip. but they are not necessary should you want a ride and not have the funds. Again I highly suggest coming. You iowastaters should get your homework done Saturday and join me Sunday! All info is posted on http://iowafurries.webs.com/ please PM me if you'd like a ride

So I plan on getting a tattoo around spring break time, or atleast 5 weeks before I go to Florida May 15. So I have just been having a terrible time looking for designs. So I thought I'd ask around including here. xD So would anyone out there maybe want to sketch a design that might look good?

I plan to get it on my left bicep, up around the sholder area but still on the bicep. I don't want it too small to where its hardly there, but I also don't want it too large so I can wear shirts to a job without bosses caring. I have been thinking of a bust shot, so head and sholders of a feral grey wolf. I don't want it howling, maybe a tribal style? idk... anyway, if anyone has a thought for a design I would love to hear or see it! I plan to go here http://heroictattoo.com/

I plan to hit up 's monday night game nights/other party things he has, most of the nights they go on. So if anyone ever feels like joining me and wants a ride, just giver me a shout, PM, or text me at 515-290-6465. The dates for these nights can be found on the Iowa Furries website, http://iowafurries.webs.com/ and i think on FA's Iowafurs group. I will be leaving Ames about 2 hours before the events start. They are fun and a great way to get to know area furs and an awesome lion. It costs me around $20 to get there and back and if you come I would take any help I could get, but I can still drive you even if you're short on cash so don't let that stop you from asking me for a ride. I may not go to every one, but unless I have other plans, if someone PMs me cause they want to go I'll go anyway. xD Again if you want to go PM. shout or text/call me.

The next Monday Night thing is March 14. I will leave Ames at 3:30-4:00pm and we would return around midnight. Nbowa asks $5 for pizza and then we just have fun.

So it started at 12am having Perkins and chillin there with my fly wolf hat until 2:30am. Gotta love drunk people comments on an awesome wolf hat. Then I went to bed and woke up at noon, a rare and great wake up time. I bummed about until 4:00p.m. when I went to a BDay party for where I hung out with him, ,,, and two others. We had cake and played game and watched a movie, fun hanging out time.

Following this I headed south to meet up with an amazing husky . He showed me about, which the place is fun. We went to Pancheros and watched drunk tools and ladies, then headed back to his apartment for more fun chilling time. I sadly had to leave and drove home around 2am in a snowstorm which parts were pure whiteout conditions, so the trip took me 3 and a half hours instead of the normal 2. Here I am safe and sound looking forward to another day like this. Also just for you j, PURRRRRRRRRRRDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE did i do it right?

also lol

So I am putting this down, copy and paste from the Iowafurs website, just a reminder also to keep checking that site.

So Kiba was asking me about what the next meet will hold and when. Good question because I DONT KNOW. I would like suggestions on what a group of furs can do. Bowling was fun but I'd like other things to do. If it were spring I'd say something outdoors, but winter is a different story. I could take a day and rent a room and projector in my dorm's main lobby (its pretty nice and spacious). We could board game or movie or video game or... idk. Give me some suggestions, What do you all like and what would be good for a group of furs to do?

This is for a central iowa meet

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook

It was a success! I think we had around 15 people there. Only bummer was that where you could suit in the bowling alley you couldn't bowl in the feet Dx I'll remember that for next time. I think this meet got a lot of furry hype around here and hopefully some lasting friendships. You can probably find pics by  lobosabio

Also I hope you all made it home safely. If you think about it you can let us all know here.

Hey, anyone thinking of attending the meet today. It is still on but I'd really like to stress to the out of towners that the weather is terrible. We'll have more meets, but don't push it. Anyway, I'll see anyone who comes around 3, I'll be there around 2:45.

It seems like the underground is where people want to go, so here is the itinerary for Saturday December 11 at 3pm. I will be there at around 2:40 if anyone wants to show up early to meet me ;p. ALSO IF YOU HAVE ONE, BRING A SUIT OR ANY FURRY COSTUMING YOU WANT. The underground is suit friendly, so they told me.

We will start by bowling. I am going to try and reserve 3 lanes at 3pm. They have a lot to do there if you aren't a fan of bowling. There are arcade games and pool and pingpong, I will bring paddles and balls. We will bowl like 2 or so games, Depending what people want. For not iowa state students, the prices are $2.50 for shoes and $3.00 per game. Then we will hit up some food. There is a lot right there. Jeff's Pizza is loved by students, or really good burritos and pitas and jimmy johns. Really whatever you want. We could eat in Jeff's or in the Memorial Union, which is where the underground is located, there is a large area to eat there.

To get to the underground you have to head to the Memorial Union. I think everyone will be taking interstate 35 in. Take interstate 35 and get onto 30 west at exit 111B. Once on 30 take exit 146. Take a right(north) toward Iowa State on University Blvd. About a mile and a half down the road take a left on Lincoln Way. About a half mile down on the right side is the Memorial Union. Now you can park in the parking garage but you will have to pay. If not there is meter parking that most are free across the road. Once you enter the Memorial Union, you can enter in the South door in which you will be on the basement floor and you can see the bowling lanes straight ahead. If you enter on the west side, you have to take a right just inside the door and go down some stairs and you'll make your way to the underground.

All right, so the official day is going to be Saturday. The time, 3pm in Ames, IA. I'll get back to you on where we will meet. There are two choices.

The underground:
bowling is pretty cheap, its an 8 lane house, idk if I can reserve but I will try to get maybe 3 lanes would ya say? and some arcades games there and many pool tables and a pingpong table
Then we can go somewhere on campus to eat, like Jeff's pizza or we could hop in my car and go someplace or theres a lot of places to eat on campus.

Perfect Games:
Bowling is more expensive, many arcade games but you use a card which is a dollar to buy, has a bar, 24 lane bowling, idk about reserving there will be a lot of parties there probably, there is a pizza place where I have a couple coupons for 2 large pizzas for $12.

IDK sound good? Any preferences? Idk what else people might wanna do.

515-290-6465

EDIT!!!!! underground i can reserve for which i would like to know who will and wont bowl. The underground is costumefriendly $2.50 for shoes $2 if isu student $3
per game $2.50 if student.

EDIT EDIT: perfect games is $2.50 for shoes and $5 per game or $27 per hour. And then with coupons i could get $6 large pizzas.

I REALLY NEED OPINIONS!

So I am getting a stronger push toward doing the meet on saturday more than sunday, what with work and school monday. Also plans sound like a food and bowl, i will ask the underground about us being in suit for any who have em. I'm sure they dont mind as long as the suiter isnt plastered xD What do people think about for food? Should we crash a restaraunt or I could reserve and area with a projector and we could order pizza or something.

Let me know how all of this sounds please. Also would midday like 2 or 3 work or would night liek 5 or 6 to whenever work best?

Would saturday or sunday work better? I know of one fur that could only make it sunday but I'll go with the date that works best for most.

Sooooo!!! I need opinions here aight? This doesn't have to be huge because I want to do more later also, but I really really want to get to know furs soon so I can relate with ya'll more on an irl basis :p. So watch yall think? I want a little get together before break. Lets see dead week is next week and finals after that. This saturday is too soon. How would be think about next Saturday. What should we do? There is bowling, dollar movies, bumming at random places... Throw in ideas ^_^ Hopefully weather isn't too bad. :p Well let me know what you think about times or what to do. I'll try and get more of these going later. also said he'd try and get a spreadsheet going for like times people can do things. Umm state your opinions. If you think this is good or bad :/

FYI: probably stick around Ames, IA

Ames furs i wanna meet soon! x3

Well tonight i went around central campus and through some dorms. I was with a friend and another friend with a boombox. Too make a longish story short, I had a blast! I can't wait to do it some more and that made me want to make the full suit all the more. 2 more yards of black fur in the mail XD
