Hey everybody! Nightfell is looking for a room for AC if anybody;s got space. She's a suiter and an artist. Contact her if you have questions or someplace for her to crash!

Where are you staying?
The Westin!

What day are you getting there?
Tuesday morning through Monday at noon.

Who will you be with?
My roommate Keapano, his girlfriend who has no FA and cannot be linked here, Blake, Kyle, and possibly Azban if I can convince him to go.

What is your gender?
Male.

Are you taken?
Nope. But this doesn't mean that you can introduce yourself and immediately start calling me "Sweetie" and assume that we're dating. Sounds crazy right? Well I've had multiple people do that over IM after chatting with them once.

How old are you?
28.

Can I talk to you?
Yes! So long as it's not super awkward creeper talk.

Are you cliquey?
Not really. I have a few circles of friends I try to hop between at the cons.

Can I touch you?
If I know you then obviously yes. If not maybe a handshake I guess. I'm not into being hugged by strangers out of suit. In suit I'm ok being hugged if you ask first.

Can I hang out with you?
If I'm not too busy. But if I'm obviously hanging out with someone and say something like "Oh hey! It was nice meeting you, but I'm gonna head out now." That generally means I'm leaving and don't want tag-alongs. If you know me we'll probably be hanging out at some point anyway, otherwise watch for me in headless lounges. That's the best place to chat with me.

How can I find you?
Look for my suit. Or watch for random bearded males in their late 20s wearing an AC badge that says Canis Drunkis..

Can I buy you drinks?
I am not opposed to this. Vodka-Sprite. Though if I'm in suit probably Beer.

You like shinies?
I'm usually a Foxcoon so yes, though this year I'll be debuting my Dingo suit.

Can I hug or snuggle with you?
I only snuggle with people I know. Hugs are ok from strangers if I'm in suit. Out of suit it seems a bit creepy.

How tall are you?
5'8"

Are you nice?
No, this is Niic...

I'm known for making evil comments, but I'm generally easy to get along with. Just don't do or say anything dumb around me or I will judge you severely.

Can I stalk you?
Only if you wish for unimaginable suffering.

How long are you going?
Didn't I already answer this? Tuesday morning to Monday at noon.

Do you have an artist table?
No, I am not an artist.

Do you like parties?
I am the party.

If I see you, how should I get your attention?
By handing me a drink. Well not really but that will work. I tend to get easily distracted in suit so just tap me.

Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?
Hanging out with all my furriends, wandering off to eat, drinking in room parties and out suiting.

What/where will you be eating?
This usually is decided very last minute. Sudden dinners occur. If you know me and want to schedule a lunch/dinner time then you'll need to let me know in advance.

What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
Get some great pics of my new suit! If you see it, take some photos. I'll probably do some sort of free art reward for whoever gets me the best pic. New suit seen here ---> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10748734/

Mr Mephit is having a free YCH auction for gay male mammal characters! Info here - http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4637275

So...Apparently FurFright hotels happened today? Anybody have space for a Foxcoon / Dingo?

Keihound is livestreaming a commission for me! Go check it out! Also her gallery because her stuff is awesome.

See it here ----> http://www.livestream.com/houndloaf


*******************************

It's done now. The piece is in my gallery, but if you click the link maybe you'll get lucky and she'll happen to be streaming! Or you can go back in time and watch I suppose.

My last journal entry was about me going to AC...Which was like 9 months ago. I figured it was time to post something new. So...How's things? Everyone doing ok? Any questions, comments, concerns? I'll try to post another journal sometime soon. Like...Maybe by next AC. Because I'm cool and exciting like that.

I'll be heading to AC tonight/tomorrow morning. Staying in the Courtyard when not suiting. Look for me if you're going!

So...What the fuck is with "adoptables"? Someone draws seventy foxes, colors them all different, charges 10 bucks to "adopt" said character, and cries copyright infringement if someone else happens to have a character who looks like one they drew? Fuck you. People can design their own characters. And the next time I hear from that certain someone who contacted me that "Raff looks suspiciously like an adoptable they made a while back" then I will let everyone on here know who you are. And you will have an unpleasant day. I've had my suit for years before you drew that horrible scribble you call art. Crawl back into your mother's basement and shut the fuck up.

So I got a promotion and now have off Thursday through Monday for AC. Looks like my room plans fell through though, so if anybody's got room for a Foxcoon with a suit shoot me a line. We can set things up & I can pay my share of the room in advance. Just send me a note here.

Looks like I only have Saturday, Sunday & Monday off for AC this year. If anyone's got space in their room for Friday, Saturday & Sunday night that would enjoy the company of a Foxcoon, send me a message.

Yes, I'll be there. I don't know why everyone seems to think I won't be. I'll be at the other Hotel with Dodge Otter & Czar Thurs through Sat then I'll be in the main hotel Sun. Also it's my birthday on Friday! For my birthday I get a Furry Con. Take that, everyone else!

So just in case anyone hasn't heard, I'll not be making it to AC this year. It happens that the weekend of AC is the only weekend I can move so...I'll be doing that. It's sad to miss the con, but I'll be at FurFright in a few months, so I'll see folks there.

Hey folks! Just found out I'm going FA - United and was wondering if anyone had room for myself and Cliff Husky and my suit. Anybody got room?

Never Mind! Got one! Thanks all you NO ONE WHO REPLIED!

For those of you that're wondering, I made it home safely without incident.

If anyone sees any photos of me posted from FurFright this year, please link me to them that I may smile upon the poster.

That is all.

I survive3d my arduous journey from AC. If anyone got any pics of me or sees any posted send me a link please! I will bless you with good luck...Or DOOM...It depends on my mood.

Clearly Zeus and/or Thor is superior.

I have heard nothing good about this movie since it came out. But last night  keapano and  westiebetch forced me to watch this movie and I am very glad that they did.

I can't stop thinking about it and will probably watch it again this week. The costumes and cinematography in the movie is excellently done. The plot is reminiscent of a Shakespearean tragedy and the music really isn't all that bad. Just keep in mind that the movie is a musical and they communicate primarily through song, thus the lyrics are sometimes a bit odd.

All in all I really recommend seeing it. I found nothing in that movie that I didn't like. Go watch it now.

When I eat chocolate bunnies, I eat the head last. That way they remain aware as they are slowly devoured of the course of a week.

Yay! I finally have an interview with the Bronx Zoo on Friday! Only something part time for now, but it'll get my foot in the door. Wish me luck!
