AnthroCon 2011!
Posted 14 years agoI will definitely be attending AC this year, I found some roomspace with some awesome furs and I've got a way to get there, everything is all set :3 So for any furs reading that will be there, I'll see you there! :D
Looking for room @ AnthroCon 2011
Posted 14 years agoSo yea, I've secured a ride to AnthroCon and have a room of sorts for the moment, but I'm also looking at trying to get into the Westin (the main con hotel) instead. I'm willing to split room costs, I kind of want to avoid a party room and just have somewhere casual. I'll be getting there on the 23rd (Thursday) and be leaving on the 27th (Monday) I'm a fursuiter so fursuiter friendly roommates are preferred. I'm looking to be the fourth or fifth person in a room to avoid crowding. If anybody knows of a space like that just drop me a line on here or send me an em@il. More contact info is in on the page here. :3
Happy Birthday to Me!
Posted 15 years agoYup...another year closer to being another year older :P
MFF 2010
Posted 15 years agoSo, I had an exceptionally astounding time at MFF this year and met a lot of cool furs and a lot I met last year too. Had to say I had a ton of fun especially since I got my fursuit had a ton of fun in it too. Pics to follow later on :3
Story Commissions?
Posted 15 years agoWondering what people would think if I were to start doing commissions for transformation stories? Just a thought to get me back into the swing of writing after so long/ So what do you all think? Good idea, bad idea, etc. I'd have to make a list later of what I would and wouldn't do and pricing 'n such. But I'd love to hear opinions :3
Power Up :D
Posted 15 years agoHey there everyone, just letting you all know my computer is back up and running again, and with a lot of astounding upgrades! (No seriously this thing is like 10000x better than it used to be) Seems the problem was a chip melting and needed to be swapped, and then we reformatted it because of all the virus trouble it had been having, so I'm back, and especially shiny :3
Man down!!!
Posted 15 years agoHey all, just letting everyone know that my computer had a major death yesterday and that I'll be a lot more inactive until I get it fixed.
-P

Support
Posted 15 years agoThanks for kind words everybody, a night's sleep did me well and I'm feeling better :3
New Watchers and Faves
Posted 15 years agoWow.... I've gotten a lot of watches and faves recently!
Thanks for watching and for all the faves everyone, but make sure to check out the artists that have done all these great commissions as well :3
Also I'm slowly getting momentum back for my transformation writings and am working on some trades I hope to post before too long. And also been trying some art stuff too, we'll see how that goes though ;3
Take care all,

MFF Report
Posted 16 years agoI attended the midwest furfest this year, and I can't lie when I say that I had more fun in those three days than any other point in my life. For my very first fur con I was extremely impressed with how everything went, from my flight there (which was also the first time I had flown on an airplane) to Chicago and the flight back, which was at night, and I must say that it was extremely beautiful seeing all the lights at night time.
So to break down the days, here's how everything went:
Thursday:
My flight there was a breeze and went really well, we checked in at the hotel and we got our rooms, the person who took me got us separate rooms, which rocked! Although I do wish I had somebody to share it with to talk to'n'stuff. But the hotel I stayed at was the 'Marriott: Courtyard' It was really nice and well kept, no complaints about it, except I wish the icemachine down the hall wasn't so loud >< But what was even cooler was that the 3 hotels featuring MFF this year had custom keycards, there were 12 all together, and I ended up with 4; Because I got two different ones for my room, and the person I went with got two different ones as well. But as hunger set in we tracked down the nearby "Big Bowl" restaurant, for I love Chinese/Thai food. And I swear it was the best I've had in a loooooooooooooooooooong time, if not the best! Afterward I got back to the hotel and just kind of lounged around for the remainder of the night, I was eager for Friday to come!
Friday:
And so it did! Friday was my first official day of being at the con, I got there in the morning hours and got my registration, I had already pre-registered so it didn't take long to get that all taken care of. My first order of business was to find my uber amazing friend
xids It was the first time I've met him and he is absolutely, without a doubt, the best friend I've got, he was everything I thought he'd be, but more! So we basically spent the majority of the day at the con together, there was so much to do on the first day. I went to the opening ceremonies, 'so this is your first furry con', and I sat through Kage and 2 (the ranting gryphon)'s story telling! And I swear to god it was the single most hilarious thing I've ever been to, they both had me close to crying for the entire thing. Xids and I browsed the dealers den and artists alley for a while. But when the dealers den was open I went and got Xids badge and mine from the wonderous
donryu! They were fabulous badges, my very first one too, I love it! Xids and I got compliments here and there during the con about 'em. So many thanks to donryu for making such wonderful badges! I liked how they were larger than an ordinary badge and really stood out against others. I also met a good deal of other furs there I had wanted to. Like a friend "icondoryuu: whom I had wanted to meet furever! He's so awesome, his fursuit was really cool too! I also met a handful of other furs I either recognized or were around and i talked too. But went back to the hotel later on in the night (i'm very grateful they had a shuttle bus back and forth from my hotel every 30 mins or so up until 2:30a.m.)
Saturday:
And then Saturday was by far the most fun! I got to the con roughly the same time as I had Friday and mostly chilled with Xids until stuff started to open up, so we lounged around in The Den until then. Xids and I had planned to go to the "Transformation Art and Drawing 101" ,but i wanted to get some pictures of the fursuit parade that was going on at the same time, so I kidnapped his camera and took pics while he was in the room for that. I took a LOT of pics from it and it was really awesome overall to see the parade. I noticed a lot of furs from FA in the parade, can't name all of them but a quick pawful: Doryuu, Oz the kangaroo, Duncan, Raccoon Drew, Captain Furry, JD Puppy (I saw this guy like 3 times, he's can teleport or something!) & etc.
But yes! A good time all around, I also commissioned one "Mitch de la Guardia" for a full color pic of my fursona Savver, I only had a couple things I wanted to change and let him have fun with the rest, and I have never commissioned a piece from somebody in person and I can't lie to you when i say that it came out absolutely amazing! I somehow ended up with a surfboard and it really is way beyond what I expected! I plan on scanning it later on and posting it here, and I also plan on getting a small frame for it to hang or prop up on my desk, it's really awesome!
But I also sat with Xids through a drawing panel, and it was really cool, so I got to talk with
picklejuice and he is rather cool guy! His fedora is rather fashionable in it's lime green color ^^ But Xids, picklejuice, and I went to eat across the street at the "Claim Jumper" which both xids and I being BBQ lovers ordered the same sandwich and...
IT!
WAS!
DELICIOUS!!!
But anyway I also got to meet
Jaggers there too, and there were a lot of other TF-ish people there as well. And the food was great, somebody across from me ordered a piece of this enormous cake! And it was like 6 layers high, he let me have a bite, and it was mouth watering stuff. After dinner Picklejuice, Xids, and I went back to the con to watch the Iron Artist competition. Which in was really cool, I almost got Xids to do it, but they got enough people before I got him up there >< But I got to be one of 3 judges because one of the other guys got caught up in something. But all I'll say about it was that it was really fun to judge and do, because as a judge I had a say in the crazy things we did to make it more interesting, like spinning the table around, or having everybody sing and dance and try to keep working at the same time! It was awesome overall and the end result was rather entertaining as well. After that was when we went back to the den just to kind of hang around and draw some, so we doryuu called and came down to chill for a while with us. Which was "pawesome" as Xids has me saying now, ^^
I desperately want a fursuit due to other events of that day,
skroy let me wear his "Bit" G-shep suit pieces when I was sitting with Xids, and we had Doryuu come down and chill with us, so all Doryuu's friends came by and they all rock! So I was having waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much fun with it all on for the lil while I was wearing it. But that honestly makes me want to look into fursuiting stuff more, and get one of my own! -browses for details and prices and such for later on-
But also of great interest of the night was the single greatest elevator ride...Ever. Xids and I went up to Doryuu's room to see what was going on up there, some people were rather drunk, I felt kind of bad I had a really serious face when I was in there cuz I honestly haven't seen many people drunk before, so I kind of had my fill of watching culture at work. I don't know his FA page, but a guy with a fursona name of "Dizz" must have thought I didn't like him, cuz he was like everywhere and stuff but it was kind of funny. Anyway, the best part was getting everyone from the room, in the same elevator and going down... We were coming down from floor 14, so of course the elevator got stopped like every other floor. I won't be specific but most comments directed to people waiting to get on were rather hilarious and crude at times. But you couldn't keep from laughing. I think it was like on the fifth floor it stopped and we only let in a fursuiter from that floor, well we grabbed them, told them they rocked and said they were cool enough to ride with us, and again that was the best elevator ride, Ever.
Other than that Xids and I went to go watch another show with 2 and Kage, who were rather happy to have gotten a good deal of "mineral water" (you had to be there to get it) and were having a jolly time! And again I laughed a lot, I had to leave partway through it though cuz my friend wanted me back at the hotel before it was really late. But I crashed in bed really hard, I guess i was more tired than I had at first imagined.
Sunday:
Sadly Sunday was my last day, so I got there early as usual, and found Xids shortly there after arriving. But yea, mainly hung out with him and went through the dealers den and artists alley another time or so and bought a handful of things. I got to see part of the fursuit games before leaving. And i got my first fursuit hug from
skroy just before leaving, it was hard to put an entire con into one hug, but he did awesome! The worst part was leaving, I hated it with dire passion, I wish I could have stayed longer but I didn't want to miss my flight back, that would have been terribly troublesome D: But getting home went well. I really got blasted by all of the excitement unwinding and just hit a big tired spell and crashed. On the plus side though, while I was away, my room go re-arranged so that it was more spacious! I got a new desk which is much better than the small endtable I had my desktop set up on, so it was an all around great weekend!
So many great people, so many good things, and just pure fun. This is only a start of many more adventures to come...
I can't wait...

I am the Fool
Posted 16 years agoGot this from http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/929752/
Anywho this is a kind of quiz thing for "Which tarot Card are you?" So I take it and I'm "The Fool" Which is apparently the most interesting of them all.
"You are The Fool"
Idea, thought, spirituality, that which endeavours to rise above the material.
The Fool is the card of infinite possibilities. The bag on the staff indicates that he has all he need to do or be anything he wants, he has only to stop and unpack. He is on his way to a brand new beginning. But the card carries a little bark of warning as well. Stop daydreaming and fantasising and watch your step, lest you fall and end up looking the fool."
So if you wanna take the quiz, go here:

Taking a small trip.
Posted 16 years agoHey everyone, just an FYI (for anybody it matters to) that I'll be gone the 13th to the 20th. Kinda nervous, but I'm gonna take a lil trip down to see some family and friends, and try to have a decent drive. The drive isn't so bad, I'm told, my first long trip actually. Only 3 -3 1/2 hours, but I need some driving EXP! I may be back sooner depending on if anything comes up, so that in mind, talk to everyone later. (I'll check messages if I get any time.)
