FC 2012: Looking for a room.
Posted 14 years agoWell due to my own stupidity I forgot about booking a room until much too late, and now am in need of space.
I am looking for bed space for 2, myself and my girlfriend Courtney, from Thursday night through Sunday night.
We are quiet and laid back, not prone to drama. Parties are fine by us, but rest assured we will not be throwing one.
I am a fursuiter, but am tidy about where I leave everything.
I will pay for our portion of the room the first day, in cash. I abhor those who are like 'oops, spent all my money on pr0n, thanks for the room though'.
I give excellent massages as well, if that could be part of a persuasion to let us stay. :)
Have fun and can't wait to see everyone there!

1 Year Anniversary
Posted 14 years agoToday is the one year anniversary of myself and Courtney aka 
moonlilly.
I can not fully express the joy I have from her being in my life. As should be true in all relationships, she makes me want to be a better person.
I am excited for FC coming up in a couple of months, where she can be introduced to even more of all yall fuzzies.
Just keep in mind Courtney does have a fursuit phobia. So if you're in suit when you see us, please refrain from hugging. :)
Other than that, I'll see you from on stage at the FC Masquerade and at my HealthyFurs panel! :D

I have changed.
Posted 14 years agoHow do you reconnect with someone when you are no longer the person they once knew?
I was just looking at my list of contacts for IM and realized that the Orion that most of them knew is no longer the one sitting on this side of the computer. Is it worth the effort to try to talk with someone again, to relearn each other, when there was no more than a passing acquaintanceship between us?
One aspect of the self-worth I placed in myself was the amount of people who knew my name. So I would contact and talk with many people, just brief touches of acknowledgement on occasion. Others I would have hours of talking with. But the talking was not the true weighing of each others merits, because I was always fearful that if I let other people in too far they would realize the true extent to which I am boring.
At the peak, I had over 800 IM contacts, 200+ of which I knew and could strike up a conversation with to some extent.
But now... I look at the list and see strangers. People who I do not know, and who no longer have even a glimmer of me. Because I have finally shed the masks that had made up the image of Orion that everyone else saw. I never truly got to know the people I was chatting with, because I did not care to. It was a selfish aspect to me, that I talked with others to keep myself entertained instead of using the contact to build each other into better individuals.
I come to realize this after finding very little basis to restart what conversations I once had. But it is not with regret that I am making this posting, for while it was of such importance to me years past my life has in truth moved onward. Once the acceptance and attention of strangers was all I sought from my actions, transitory though it may be.
But this day, the smile of my love is all I require from life. For she has patiently worked to allow me to remove the facades that had become almost intrinsic to whom I was. This gift which she has given me I do not know if I can ever repay. How do you repay the giving back of your life, except to forever dedicate your life to them? And this I do gladly, giving myself to Courtney.
I end this now, because it is rather hard to type while crying, no matter the tears are of happiness.

Posted 14 years agoThe striving, omniscient, self capitulating behemoth of inner resolve. To gaze upon its bald face is to see eternity itself. The ability to not merely confront any obstacle, but stare it down into dissolution. For within itself is the assuredness of never-ending satisfaction. For what can be said but that it hath the will to never die. Its sheer nature is abhorrent to the remotest possibility of relenting, even for the most infinitesimal a moment. Delving deep within ones self each will find at the very innermost core, oft hidden even from self awareness, the seed, sprouting, full-grown tree of unshakable certitude. In which expectations are not merely walked up to and met peaceably, but shattered unto oblivion, for the winds to carry forth to the ends of the earth as testament.
Digression. For the absolute focus upon such an unfathomably elusive aspect would be to sunder it upon the anvil, not cast into a force, but rendered useless by abuse. For what weapon-smith would purposefully relegate the most important of tasks to an untrained pupil, for whom the world has yet to open the flower of knowledge, cocooning him safely within the bosom of innocence. But within the immaculate timidity displayed with every action, is it not shown plain faced of the ideal we but allude to. For each spark of life must inherently posses such innumerable quantities of each shade thereof, as to be both ideal and antipathy of every action undertaken in ones finite days to walk the thin face of the world. For without the sparest shreds, no action could be undertaken that could be expected to end without utter failure as its core. For with each breath taken into the body, does not every cell of the entire entity exalt in its very own life, such that as a whole, it is an impossibility to contemplate the shadow of existence, in its absence.
To delineate into a singular word, the sum entirety thus rendered. Ego.

Posted 14 years agoState of the Orion address.
Posted 14 years ago*taps microphone to ensure proper receptivity*
Hello my fellow Furries.
I come before you this day, to address the current state of affairs for Orion. As you all may have been aware, Orion is very bad at updates that could even be slightly misconstrued as frequent, even if squinted at. So please be patient, and bear with this Golden Retriever, as he talks about whatever has been going on in his life.
If you have more important things to be doing, this is the time to change the channel to Fox. Because its the only TV station thats explicitly furry without being.
First off... I'm not single! *hears gasps from the pre-assembled group, who are responding to the queue card held up out of camera range* I have been in a relationship for the past 6 months with someone of amazing depth, intelligence, and beauty. Please let me introduce you to Courtney. *camera pans over, allowing Courtney enough time to give a dazzling smile and wave subduedly to the TV audience* She makes me want to be a better person, which is the highest praise any person in a relationship can give. And now for the big shock... She's not a furry! :D What can I say, when you find someone so amazing, you can't hold a little thing like them not being a furry against them... too much. ;)
I am going to be at AC! OMGOMGOMG!!! :D And!!! Courtney will be with me! I told you she's awesome. ^^ So feel free to come up and say hi to us both. She is excited to see what the whole 'furry con' experience is like, even though she is not a furry... yet. (when you read this please don't hit me too hard my deer, er dear)
And as well.... I'll have a fursuit!! *dies happy* :D It's a surprise sorta, so if you don't know, just wait till after con, and if you do know, don't tell. :3
I'm currently working in a health and wellness store for a simply AMAZING company. I just love all the information I'm getting my paws onto. Seriously, its wicked awesome ^^
Um... There's mroe stuff i'm forgetting. But dont worry, i'll post something within the next 5 years updating again :D

New Group!
Posted 14 years agoSo as I was browsing around, I noticed a group with a very good intent, FitnessAffinity. Unfortunately, the last post on the group was from 8+ months ago, and as it is in essence completely dead, I started a new group 
HealthyFurs for exercise, health and wellness. Please feel free to take a look, say hello, and ask any questions you may have. :D

FC Masquerade Co Host!
Posted 15 years agoI was just asked to co-host the fursuit masquerade at Further Confusion. This will be a ton of fun. I'm so excited ^^
You can see the part of the masquerade from last year where i 'test performed' as the host, but KG was chosen as host instead. He asked for me to be along side him tho, and I was delighted to accept.

Alcohol.
Posted 15 years agoNOTE: I wrote this Sunday morning, but due to lacking internet issues, am just posting it now.
So I had my first experience with alcohol last night. I came to the self realization that I no longer cared about being different for the sake of being different. And thats pretty much the only reason I had never tried it before now. And after having tried it, I dont personally feel its all everyone cracks it up to be. I guess I was kinda hoping for something to take my mind away, or something to that effect. It's currently 7:30 am, and I've been up for the past hour+, unable to sleep. I would think that after not getting enough sleep friday night, and then being up till like 3:30 while consuming intoxicating beverages, would make me pass out like nobody's business. Unfortunately not the case. I slept very intermittently, and every time I woke, I would go get water, because I know alcohol has a dehydrating effect upon your system. So I had about 4 hours of fitfull sleep, to wake up tired, but unable to sleep. A fairly frustrating feeling overall.
8:30 Now. The reason this is going to be posted later in the day, is that the internet is out, and a tech is coming in a few hours to fix it. But I guess I'm in a cleaning mood right now? Just did the dishes, cleaned the kitchen and living room (as much as I could without waking someone), and was sorely tempted to work on getting my car clean except that it was raining. I have a pretty clear memory of everything that happened last night, and don't think I did anything too worrisome. Altho I did kinda put a hole/dent in the bathroom wall... but there was a spider, so it's totally justified. I'm pretty sure there will be video or pictures of last night around somewhere, I'll try and post a couple.
I greatly wish I was better able to express my feelings some times. Or even talk about them. I'm a fairly guarded individual when it comes to discussing things of import to myself. I guess it could possibly stem from the fact that I used to put on all sorts of different faces/masks for different people. Being who that person wanted me to be, but since I was someone different to so many people, actually putting down the happenings of my life in a journal, or even discussing them with people, would run the risk of me forgetting the details of each mask and exposing the entirety of the false fascade.
Tho... I don't feel the need for the masks anymore. I'm starting to be able to just... be me. And now, I want to find someone else I can be just me with. I have been getting very strong pangs of lonliness recently, which is never fun. I think I'm coming to a place in my life that I want it to not be 'my life' but 'our life'. I'm a very strong romantic, and just... have never had anyone to be romantic with. And I'm working on changing that, and there are a few hurtles I have to cross before that point, but I feel like its getting close. So I just hope I don't have to wait too long, even tho I know thats the probability.

Posted 15 years agoStole this thing from 
rukis and she's right, it is pretty spot on.
you chose BX - your Enneagram type is NINE (aka "The Mediator")
"I am at peace"
Peacemakers are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.
How to Get Along with Me
• If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure.
• I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advantage of this.
• Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.
• Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently and nonjudgmentally.
• Ask me questions to help me get clear.
• Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery.
• Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings.
• I like a good discussion but not a confrontation.
• Let me know you like what I've done or said.
• Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life.
What I Like About Being a NINE
• being nonjudgmental and accepting
• caring for and being concerned about others
• being able to relax and have a good time
• knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around
• my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and facilitator
• my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now
• being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe
What's Hard About Being a NINE
• being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive
• being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline
• being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally
• being confused about what I really want
• caring too much about what others will think of me
• not being listened to or taken seriously

A bit of insight into Orion...
Posted 15 years agoI'm a bit tired as I am writing this, so just take into account that by reading this top disclaimer type section, that I am not responsible for any damage to your brain from the unfiltered workings of my inner mind pouring into words, traveling through the network of tubes that make up the internet, and onto your light emitting diodes, to be recieved through your orbital socket devices, and translated throughout the synapses, into a completely indecipherable message, which is promptly deciphered by your brain, as the words I'm typing. Well, anyway, you've been warned.
So here goes the part where I try to set myself apart from the other 10,000,000,000,000 furs on pounced trying to set themselves apart from the other 9,999,999,999 furs. (yes, there were one fewer furs by the time I finished writing that sentence, though I'd like to think that it had absolutely nothing to do with the sentence, but even if it did, I'm not so certain weather I should be ashamed, or honored, or amazed, that the one sentence could have that much of an impact upon someone.)
First and foremost, before I really even get into the introductory section of my preamble, let me give an aside, about some of the peculiarities of myself, which I think might be rather pertinent. I unfortunately have a good many flaws, but those are usually something best discovered over time, and so as not to give an exceptionally bad first impression, I will merely state that I have them, versus enumerating them, since I am sure you do not want to be sitting at you computer all night, merely to read my profile, when there are so many undoubtedly more interesting and quixotic peculiarities to perusal.
But anyway, back to the preamble that was so thoughtlessly interrupted by my flow of thought, which was decidedly inconvenient to have happened right at that moment. I am currently single. I am currently looking. I am completely oblivious to flirting. I find intelligence and personality to be of the most importance to myself. I stated those things, without an iota of coyness or parsing of words, for the fact that I wanted them to be blatently clear to whomever happens upon this ad. Singleness has been a condition affecting me for over 4 years for reasons I can not state with a great certainty, but will make some grand guesses towards. I consider myself very shy and uncertain in the area of romance. The word shy being attributed to me, by anyone who has met me, or known me for any length of time, would seem to be an absurdity. But unfortunately it is quite the case from inside my own head. Another factor is one of the above bluntly mentioned facts, being that while apparently I am flirted with somewhat frequently according to my friends, I am completely unaware of it happening. I just... don't pick up on the signals being sent out, which I can only guess would indicate to people, even with whom I might have interest in, that the interest is not reciprocated. Another major factor, which I guess is kind of weird, is that I am almost never physically attracted to someone. I may appreciate how much effort someone has put into getting their body where it is, but thats not what piques my interest in them. I am significantly more intrigued by someone's personality and mind, than their body. And since its so much harder to see if someone has an attractive mind, combined with my oblivious nature regarding flirting, I usually glided blissfully along, completely ignorant of any potential relationships around me. Now when you sum up all of those parts, combining in me being a social butterfly, where you find me flitting from one group of people to the next, never really landing in longer conversations. And that most likely stems from my inner fears that I am rather boring, and I don't want people to find out. In total, it leads to the grand result of me being single for 4 years. And right now, I'm just feeling... lonely.
Anyway, let me break myself out of the self induced funk, and liven up the conversation! Here I've delved into my relationship status, personality quirks and insecurities, and I've not even introduced myself!!!
My name is Orion. Woo, big deal right? Well guess what, it is a big deal! Because that's my actual name, go figure right? I have two completely dorky parents, one's a Bible geek, the other is a Science geek, and I get this kick ass name from the two of them. Maybe when we actually start talking I'll give you my full name, which is equally as off the wall as my first name, but adds to it to form a name superhero's are made of. Or at least thats how I think it should be.
I'm currently 25 years old. But depending on my haircut and/or the condition of my beard/goatee I look anywhere between 20 and 35. Yea, I had this one 40 year old lady hitting on me one day and I asked her how old she thought I was, and she responded 35. She about fainted when I told her I was only 22. But she was a little off her rocker anyway, because I really don't think I look quite that old, but I do look a little bit older than I actually am due to the fact that I smile rather frequently, and to a rather large degree, causing premature wrinkling. But I'd rather have wrinkles due to smiles than to frowning.
Now lets move onto my personality. I've been described as eccentric, energetic, hyper, bouncy, friendly and a slew of other things basically saying that I'm not quite normal, while being very energetic about it. Because thats just who I am. I am normally, what it takes most people a lot of caffeine to become, and given caffeine... oh yea, then the fun begins. But as far as other qualities I'd like to think I'm someone fun to hang around with. While I normally don't initiate going and doing something, I'm always willing to tag along and enjoy the ride.
I find friends to be very important to me. I do not have many currently, even though I'm a fairly social person. But the friends I do have are amazingly enriching to my life, and help me become a better person. Even to people who I'm not true friends with yet, I always love to hang out and help with what I can. I'm content doing anything from hanging out and talking, or playing vid games, or even watching someone else play vid games as we talk, all the way to going and bungie jumping. Now, I've never actually went bungie jumping, but if I were given the chance I'd fairly jump strait at the opportunity. Haha, get it? Jump at the opportunity... fine, don't laugh... >.>
So now you know my name, age, basic personality, and opinion on friends. Lets see what else I can figure out to share. Oooh! I know, how about furry! Well, my basic furry story is probably somewhat similar to most furries out there. Or maybe not, I've not really had the chance to compare too many notes. But ever since I was young, like, really young, I've always been drawn towards animals and things of that nature. My mom tells me that when I was 4 I asked her... "Will you and daddy mate again and get me a brother?" Yea... and things of that ilk for many years afterwards. A large plushie collection as I was growing up. My favorite movies all had animal centric themes. I collected wolf statues starting in middle school. But it wasn't until a few years after I got online that I actually discovered the fandom. It was through a link on a image I found on some website, that lead me to Fatalis on Skunked.com. And from Skunked I made my way to Furnation, and proceded to surf all 1400+ websites, over the course of the next year. Now at the time, i was like a freshman in high school, and only had dialup internet. But starting in mid January, and finishing later in December the same year, I viewed every single person in the entire Furnation directory. While surfing the directory I found the LAFF list, or Lake Area Furry Friends, bookmarked it, and eventually came back after I finished the total viewing of the website. Thats where I met and talked with the first few furs I found, Maybe Fennec, Dave Qat, and Tremane. I eventually went to my first furry party at Tremains house, met some of the locals, and was completely astonished that Tremain's roommate was Brian McPherson, one of the first furry artists who's work I admired. I went to a few more parties and such that year and then attended my fist convention... MFF.
My fist Midwest FurFest... oh wow, was it ever fun! I remember being simply overwhelmed by everyone there and all there was to do. I bought shirts, trinkets, a ring, some sketches, and a commission or two. I also while there got my first conbadge commission for 3$. I almost giggle when I think of getting my very first conbadge, and how amazed I was that I was holding real furry art in my hand. But at the same time, I basically thought in my head 'wow, I got this amazing art for 3$, and to get a full commission was like 20. I should just get badges instead of sketches.' And that was the start of my now rather well known collection. I received 24 con badges at MFF02, 74 at AC03, and another 30 at MFF03. After the first few cons I honestly stopped counting the total from each con, it just got too confusing. Though the current total is over 300!
I plan to get a fursuit in the near future, near being within the next few years. There is absolutely nothing quite as fun and freeing as being inside a suit, being able to act out and be as cute and/or sexy as you want to be. Fursuits are just so phenomenally sexy to me. I just have a bit old soft... er, hard spot for them... ;3
So I hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into the 'who' of Orion. It would be nice if it were as fun for you to read as it was for me to write. But I doubt that, because you have absolutely no idea what I was doing while I wrote this, nope, not one little itty bitty idea. None at all, zilch, zippo, nada. But it's the mystery thats fun.
Orion!~
So here goes the part where I try to set myself apart from the other 10,000,000,000,000 furs on pounced trying to set themselves apart from the other 9,999,999,999 furs. (yes, there were one fewer furs by the time I finished writing that sentence, though I'd like to think that it had absolutely nothing to do with the sentence, but even if it did, I'm not so certain weather I should be ashamed, or honored, or amazed, that the one sentence could have that much of an impact upon someone.)
First and foremost, before I really even get into the introductory section of my preamble, let me give an aside, about some of the peculiarities of myself, which I think might be rather pertinent. I unfortunately have a good many flaws, but those are usually something best discovered over time, and so as not to give an exceptionally bad first impression, I will merely state that I have them, versus enumerating them, since I am sure you do not want to be sitting at you computer all night, merely to read my profile, when there are so many undoubtedly more interesting and quixotic peculiarities to perusal.
But anyway, back to the preamble that was so thoughtlessly interrupted by my flow of thought, which was decidedly inconvenient to have happened right at that moment. I am currently single. I am currently looking. I am completely oblivious to flirting. I find intelligence and personality to be of the most importance to myself. I stated those things, without an iota of coyness or parsing of words, for the fact that I wanted them to be blatently clear to whomever happens upon this ad. Singleness has been a condition affecting me for over 4 years for reasons I can not state with a great certainty, but will make some grand guesses towards. I consider myself very shy and uncertain in the area of romance. The word shy being attributed to me, by anyone who has met me, or known me for any length of time, would seem to be an absurdity. But unfortunately it is quite the case from inside my own head. Another factor is one of the above bluntly mentioned facts, being that while apparently I am flirted with somewhat frequently according to my friends, I am completely unaware of it happening. I just... don't pick up on the signals being sent out, which I can only guess would indicate to people, even with whom I might have interest in, that the interest is not reciprocated. Another major factor, which I guess is kind of weird, is that I am almost never physically attracted to someone. I may appreciate how much effort someone has put into getting their body where it is, but thats not what piques my interest in them. I am significantly more intrigued by someone's personality and mind, than their body. And since its so much harder to see if someone has an attractive mind, combined with my oblivious nature regarding flirting, I usually glided blissfully along, completely ignorant of any potential relationships around me. Now when you sum up all of those parts, combining in me being a social butterfly, where you find me flitting from one group of people to the next, never really landing in longer conversations. And that most likely stems from my inner fears that I am rather boring, and I don't want people to find out. In total, it leads to the grand result of me being single for 4 years. And right now, I'm just feeling... lonely.
Anyway, let me break myself out of the self induced funk, and liven up the conversation! Here I've delved into my relationship status, personality quirks and insecurities, and I've not even introduced myself!!!
My name is Orion. Woo, big deal right? Well guess what, it is a big deal! Because that's my actual name, go figure right? I have two completely dorky parents, one's a Bible geek, the other is a Science geek, and I get this kick ass name from the two of them. Maybe when we actually start talking I'll give you my full name, which is equally as off the wall as my first name, but adds to it to form a name superhero's are made of. Or at least thats how I think it should be.
I'm currently 25 years old. But depending on my haircut and/or the condition of my beard/goatee I look anywhere between 20 and 35. Yea, I had this one 40 year old lady hitting on me one day and I asked her how old she thought I was, and she responded 35. She about fainted when I told her I was only 22. But she was a little off her rocker anyway, because I really don't think I look quite that old, but I do look a little bit older than I actually am due to the fact that I smile rather frequently, and to a rather large degree, causing premature wrinkling. But I'd rather have wrinkles due to smiles than to frowning.
Now lets move onto my personality. I've been described as eccentric, energetic, hyper, bouncy, friendly and a slew of other things basically saying that I'm not quite normal, while being very energetic about it. Because thats just who I am. I am normally, what it takes most people a lot of caffeine to become, and given caffeine... oh yea, then the fun begins. But as far as other qualities I'd like to think I'm someone fun to hang around with. While I normally don't initiate going and doing something, I'm always willing to tag along and enjoy the ride.
I find friends to be very important to me. I do not have many currently, even though I'm a fairly social person. But the friends I do have are amazingly enriching to my life, and help me become a better person. Even to people who I'm not true friends with yet, I always love to hang out and help with what I can. I'm content doing anything from hanging out and talking, or playing vid games, or even watching someone else play vid games as we talk, all the way to going and bungie jumping. Now, I've never actually went bungie jumping, but if I were given the chance I'd fairly jump strait at the opportunity. Haha, get it? Jump at the opportunity... fine, don't laugh... >.>
So now you know my name, age, basic personality, and opinion on friends. Lets see what else I can figure out to share. Oooh! I know, how about furry!

Con Badges! PLEASE HELP!!
Posted 16 years agoI'm going to be uploading all the conbadges I can find over the course of the next several days. I've never actually put them all up before, and with over 300, it can take a little bit. I have about half already up on FA from a bit ago, and am working through the rest now.
Now here is where I would appreciate peoples help. I have a LOT of badges which have no signature, and I don't remember who the artist is. If anyone recognizes the artist, please note me, and link me their FA name if they have one, and I will gladly give them credit for the pic.
THANK YOU!

MFF Recap
Posted 16 years agoIt is late, but I want to do this. I'm going to do a recap of the most memorable things for me about MFF09. I wont go into too much detail, but if I'm forgetting anything, let me know! (i have a HORRIBLE memory)
I am proud that i managed to take 2700 pictures at the con, mostly over the course of sat/sun. *image dump here* http://picasaweb.google.com/OrionSuperman If you are in a pic, you are allowed to use it, just please note me. If you are NOT in the pic, but think it should be posted to FA, note me, and I will post it to my page <3
For the first time, during the middle of a con, I went and did something outside of the con. Namely I went iceskating, for the first time since i was like 11, with Black Tegan, and kenket, and someone who's name i forget ; ; but he was fun. I hate my memory sometimes.
I got to hang out with Rukis for a good extent of time, which is always fun, and she was sitting at Blotch's table. Go her!
I ate a lot of food at the amazing Con Suite! THANK YOU MFF FOR HAVING ONE!!!
I almost threw up from drinking half an energy drink in 1 go. yea... i'm very caffeine sensitive.
I showed everyone I could find my Bleeding Anus Pastry picture. The looks on their faces were priceless!
I got another 3 badges, wheeee! i'll break 400 some day ^^ On a side note, expect to see more badges posted from me soon, I want to have them all up on FA.
I hung out with Damaron and Koinu-Kun sunday night at the 1601 party, which was a good way to end the con.
I did the nude modeling panel again this year, and after having lost 40lbs, felt much better being nekkid infront of all the peoples. I'm hoping by next year to lose another 10, and have a lot more muscle definition.
No suiting this con, which is a minor drag, but I'm okay with it. I will own a suit at some point, then I wont have to worry about it.
More to come!

Second Life
Posted 16 years agoSo I played it for the first time today, in probably over 4 years. And i remember how frustrating finding anyone is, if you don't know the hangouts. Or know someone who does. Yea... *grumbles in general*
Birthday n stuff
Posted 16 years agoLol, So I guess I forgot to post that my birthday was on monday, with all the non excitement going on. I turned 25 this year, meaning i can now rent a car, and be elected into the House of Represenatives. Wheee... the momentous occasion overwhelms me. Lol, I was feeling a bit depressed the past week, which is probably why I didn't post anything.
Going to Seattle tomorrow to the Crab Pot with my roommate, and a couple friends maybe to celebrate. We'll see how things go ^^

MFF Room needed!!!
Posted 16 years ago---EDIT--- : I have found lodging, thank you very much for thinking of me guys, <3 you all to death!
Hey everyone, I don't know how well this will go over, but here's my proposition.
Essentially, money is a bit tight right now, for a lot of people I know. And due to my recently moving to Seattle, I have a lot longer way to go to get to MFF. I should have enough funds to get a plane ticket out to MFF, but next to nothing extra past that.
What I'm looking for, is someone who would be willing to trade me crash space, on a bed preferably, for a 1 hour long full body massage each day. Or several shorter, but still exceptionally nice massages if that would be preferred.
You can ask anyone who has received a massage from me, that I take them very seriously, and have years of practice. As well, utilizing my double jointed hands, I'm able to do some techniques that even trained professionals would find difficult.
And as a side note: These massages are /not/ sexual in nature. I take pride in the amount of comfort and relief from stress and fatigue I'm able to provide with my hands, and don't want people to take my offer in the wrong way.
I thank you for your time in reading this, and any/all assistance would be appreciated. If you would like to re-post this in your own journal, in order for me to find a way to manage to attend, I would be exceptionally grateful.
Much thanks and love,
Orion!~
