I don't really post journals much on here. Once every four months it looks like! Gotta love them three journals a year.

If you wanna see or hear about what I'm up to, check out my twitter page at http://twitter.com/gemstoat ! I'm a lot more active over there c:

So I’ve decided to make a separate twitter account for my furry shenanigans. Gonna be nice being able to look at ludicrous amounts of furry porn accounts and just acting gay as hell. :P

Go follow me, (a)ShiningStoat!

I would like to kinda go over some personal stuff that I do outside of work! Recently I've been able to represent an eSports organization as both a player and as part of their stream team.

Now, I have more or less a set schedule for when I stream; 3-6PM PST on Sundays and Thursdays. We're partnered with the newish site stream.me, and every month there's more or less a leaderboard on how many views each stream gets, for how long, how often people comment, subscriptions, stuff like that!

Generally when I stream I play games that I really enjoyed growing up, like the Sly Cooper trilogy! I'm actually working on Sly 2 right now and will be continuing my run of that tomorrow!

I'd really appreciate it if you guys came and just checked it out, even if you only hop in and say hi!

Once again, I'll be streaming tomorrow starting at roughly 3:00 PM PST, at http://www.stream.me/teambvgg ! You guys can also follow me on twitter for when I announce streams outside of my normal stream time. Any support is appreciated! c:

...And I never will be. I've found myself befriending people with a large amount of reach with who sees their stuff. Artists, competitive gamers, and I'm even representing an eSports organization. And many of them know I'm a furry. Nowadays I try to be a lot more friendly and accepting than I was in the past. But in the past I've had (and still sometimes have) moments where I'm a self-righteous asshat to some people. And with such a diverse group of people that I'm involved with, I dont want them to think I don't care.

Most, if not all of them will probably never see this journal, but in the off chance that they do. I want to apologize to each and every one on this list. There will be some I've forgotten, and I hope that if I have hurt someone and forgotten to include them, they know it's not intentional. And many of them knew me by other names: Glacien and Xephyr being the prominent ones.

To Pepper, I apologize for breaking contact with you. I freaked out and didn't know how to handle that situation. At least now you know I'm not the right person.
To Ziggy, we had patched things up before, but things were never the same. I apologize for my self-righteousness and general dickishness. I doubt we could be friends like we were way back then, but I still consider you an amazing person and I'm glad you're living life to its fullest.
To Harley, I don't know if you ever felt like I treated you with respect. It could have been clashing personalities or whatever, but you still deserved better than what I probably ever gave you.
And to Nanabi, I probably treated you the worst. To be honest, I don't remember all of what I did. Probably made some less-than-friendly comments about your interests and treated you with less respect than you deserved. I'm truly glad you're happy with your mate, and that you've got an amazing circle of friends. And hey, guess what, I like men now too. Funny how things work out.

This journal isn't to make myself feel better or even to ask for forgiveness from these people. It's to do my best to show that I want to end up being a better person than I was before, and that each day I can say I made a change for the better. If my life is improving because of choices I've made, then I should be improving along with it.

I generally don't do this kinda thing, but go give some love to  Abigaille! She's a great artist and is struggling with her financial situation.

I don't post updates often. Mainly 'cause no one cares 8C

Joking aside, my birthday is this Tuesday, the 25th! It's not a big birthday or anything but it's still something worth celebrating, even if I'm not doing much this year. I'm turning 22!

I've already bought myself a couple of things but I am looking to get some more art done! My next big commission purchase is gonna be from  Neotheta! Planning to get something specific for a personal project I'm gonna be working on at some point.

Anyway, a lot has changed this past year. The biggest thing is that my confidence is at an all time high, and I'm enjoying every day to the fullest, even if I don't do much. Life is really good for me. I know it won't stay that way forever, but hey, enjoy it while you can, right?

Enough of my rambling. Enjoy guys!

Happy New Year everyone! 2016 was a bit of a shitshow, for me especially, since I've had a lot of stuff stressing me out, but things have been looking up!

Started my new job yesterday, and I've already gotten complimented by the client! Been doing better in things I really care about and have a renewed sense of happiness. I'm not worried about stuff as much anymore.

New years resolutions! There's not a lot, but I want to improve myself in general, be more positive, and finally learn to play piano. Hoping to stick with it 'cause I tend to drop stuff pretty quickly if I don't feel like I'm making any improvement or anything like that 8C

Stay safe tonight everyone!

Other wishlists:

Well, even though I'm not expecting anything, since most of the stuff I want is fairly expensive, I figured it'd be fun to do ^^ In the off chance that there is something someone would like to get me, just note me on here!

◄ Step 1 ►

Make a post in your journal containing your list of 10 holiday wishes.
The wishes can be anything at all, from simple to really big.
The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
If you wish for real-life things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where folks could get in touch with you.


◄ Step 2 ►

Surf around other lists to see who has posted their list. If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true.
Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream for free--do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call. There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special


◄ Step 3 ►
The List

1) Steam/Playstation Network cards! I love playing games and I stream relatively often, so be able to get more games/additions to games I have is a huge plus! Maybe even Amazon cards for other stuff that's not specifically video games but is related :P

2) Computer monitors! Right now I have a TV that does alright, but having multiple monitors with minimum input lag would be a huge plus. Specifically this one: http://gaming.benq.com/gaming-monitor/rl2460ht

3) Streaming equipment! I try to stream relatively often so having more equipment to upgrade my current set up would be awesome! I have a headset and a webcam, but having a dedicated microphone like a Blue Yeti and a streaming device like an Elgato would be a huge improvement! It'd need to work on PS3/PS4 and PC.

4) A new arcade stick! I'm a competitive fighting game player and my stick is quite a few years old. This one would be awesome: http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-con.....razer-panthera

5) Art! With where I'm at right now, I can rarely afford to get art, but I love seeing the stuff that artists can do with my character!

7) Blankets! It gets cold ;w;

8) Well, more followers on twitch! I do need to start streaming more often, but I love entertaining people and having fun. Having more followers would allow me to have a lot more fun doing what I do!

9) At this point, I'm finished with whatever material stuff I'm interested in, so more friends! I am a very social person and I love meeting new people! In addition, for all my friends, family, and followers to have an awesome holiday season ^^

10) -insert wish here- :3

Planning on doing my first "big" stream tomorrow afternoon/evening on my day off. Posting early so all my followers who are interested can see.

Not sure what I'm gonna play yet. Maybe some Shovel Knight. Most likely gonna stream around 3PM PST.

I turn 21 today! Not planning on drinking a whole lot 'cause I'm lightweight and I know how quickly alcohol can effect me, but I'll definitely be enjoying a drink or two while hanging out with some friends.

I'm finally settling into my new setting. New apartment, new job, new friends, new opportunities and I couldn't be happier. I'm still trying to follow my passions and make it grow, but I have high hopes!
