It's up. On my FA. Read it please and comment.

It's Take-Your-Daughter-To-Work-Day...kinda-sorta. Hard Drive steals more gold from the MegaKat City Mint with Rai's help. Can the SWATKats stop them? And how will they handle this situation with a 14 yr old criminal?

I've added a little translations to Rai's Nekonese. Just Ctrl+F and put in a number (1, 2, etc.) and put a period after it. Click enter once to be taken to the translation at the bottom of the page and enter again to be taken back to the place where you left off.

I did this to both Chapter 1 and 2 so if you had no idea what Rai was saying in Chapter 1, try reading it again with Ctrl+F. Enjoy.

Hunted by Prey Chapter 3 coming soon.

No, I'm not saying I'm leaving forever because furries are stupid and deserve to burn in to burn in hell nor am I saying that I wish I could leave but this fandom is like an addiction so all you who were hoping to get your rocks off by telling me "THEN GTFO!!!" go find someone else to do that to. In fact, this is for all you GTFOers who is probably like the 70% of furries who think it's the end of the world when furries are seen on TV or the news....ya'll are fucking stupid.

In the beginning, joining the fandom was fun to me because I was into Starfox and SWATKats and everyone else offline were "too grown" for cartoons and video games. I was limited to just forums and then I found FA and other furry and now it's just been going downhill. Not saying FA is a problem but those certain people who I think shouldn't be furries just because of some negativity they saw on MTV (yes I dare bring that up; didn't know about it at the time because I wasn't introduced to furries at the time)

And I remember that guy's journal title "We're on My Strange Addiction...and we're FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCKED!!!". Nononononono, You're FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCKED if someone hacks into your computer, gets all your information, takes all your money out your bank account, breaks up your car up with a baseball bat, and sets your house/apartment on fire OR if you find the hottest chick who doesn't want you to use a condom when you fuck her and then a few days later you find out that she was HIV+ and now you're HIV, THEN my friend, you are FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCKED!!!!

And then the poor girl had an FA account and half of you chased her off. So what, we're all good friends unless we do furries outside of something that's non-furry? I'm half tempted to get a fursuit and do the same fucking thing as her just to piss the whole lot of you who didn't like it off. And when some Bible thumper or someone from My Strange Addiction comes up to me, I'd say "This is my life and I'm PROUD of what I'm doing! And if you don't like it, then you can go blow yourselves up for all I care!"

And, if by some miracle my stories are published and become good enough to make me some dough, I'm half tempted to write a book on furries to show the world how fickle and negative we are! How we like to see bunny and otter bois in French goth maid outfits with thongs on and when it's on TV, it's the end of the whole FUCKING world! I would LOVE to see what all you would do if FA and EVERY OTHER FURRY SITE was instantly pulled off the Internet!

I'm just confused! I'm a furry! I LOVE BEING A FURRY! I DON'T WANNA BE ANYTHING ELSE! SO I'M SUPPOSED TO HATE MYSELF AND OTHERS BECAUSE OF IT!?!?!?!?!?!

Our water treatment plant had a power outage and now the whole town has to be careful with drinking the water. It's okay to bathe in but we gotta boil tap water to use in cooking or to wash hands. We're stocked on bottled water and Ma boils water and sets it aside for the family, but it's still crazy. All the restaurants are closed so no KFC, no Burger King, no Wendy's, etc (found out the hard way when I went to IHOP allllll the way across town and saw the sign on the doors). This is one of those moments where you take something, in this case water, for granted and when it's gone, you wish you had it.

I got up, not one, but two of stuff that I wrote! Got Chapter 2 (or Chapter 3, whichever you wanna call it) of Hunted by Prey. Lot of action in this chapter (and also searching for someone whose good on describing certain landscapes you'd see in a national park or game reserve >.o).

And my first fan-fiction that I've done in a long while. I've done a couple of fan-fics but I'd rather not mention them because I see them as failures and those who knows what fics I'm talking about (ya'll know who you are *glares shifty eyes* >>) better not say anything *takes out a mallet*.

And along with the new chapter of Hunted by Prey, is the first chapter of my first SWATKats fan-fic . I'm nervous about writing it because the cartoon had technical stuff like jets and science and stuff like that and fans know, and for people who don't know, that SWATKats got jets and other aircrafts, science, robot gangstas, bacteria monsters, giant bugs from outer space, and if I go on I'm gonna be here all night.

ANYWAY, the SWATKats fan-fic, Double Voltage has Hard Drive and his new 'apprentice', Rai, going on a hacking spree around MegaKat City. Can the SWATKats stop them? We'll see >3>

Also, looking for anyone who'd like to draw story covers for both my stories. Anyone interested?

Like to wish every one a Happy New Year and looking forward to all the good things that will happen in 2011.

Too many people to name but they all know who they are. To all my friends, despite our weird quirks, our disagreements, our good times and bad, I'm glad to have met and got to know all of ya'll and I hope our friendship continues to stay strong through 2011 and so on. *bows* Arigatougozaimasu, furenzu.

In case I don't get to do it tomorrow, I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope everyone's Christmas wish comes true.

Anyone doing anything interesting or different this cheerful year? My dad's thinking about cooking ribs for Christmas dinner. That'd be something new to our usual Christmas turkey or ham dinner. And my nieces are always swarmed around my computer keeping track of Santa on the Norad tracker site. Last we know he stopped in Greece and he's delivered over 1,000,000,000 gifts and counting. And I think my niece is, unknowingly, turning into a furry because she keeps asking me if Santa gives bears, wolves, fish, etc. Christmas presents X3

And if anyone's still watching me, I'll have the next chapter of Hunted by Prey either sometime today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.

I don't know the exact details of what happened. All I know is some douche hacked under an admin's account and started shit and now everyone's mad at everyone EXCEPT the jackass who started all this. Well, I do know one thing everyone's whose upset at Dragoneer and NOT the hacker is giving this worthless lowlife his holiday gift: to cause havoc and panic.

I don't know what or care what these leaked notes said. All I know is I bet Dragoneer and other admins try very hard to keep this site going. I hear other people say stuff negatively about 'em but I don't know any of the admins personally but I do know that no one's perfect. I think FA is the greatest fur site ever for furs and scales, for realistic and cartoon-y, for the clean and the naughty, and everyone's getting rattled by one jerk? Anyone can do whatever they want or say whatever they wanna say but you're letting this hacker win by getting angry at the wrong person/people.

And I really hope this hacker gets what really coming to him. Maybe setting his/her house on fire and raping his/her arse with a rusty chef's knife? Whose with me? *raises her hand*

About 25 years today around 11:28 A.M., I was born: 6 lbs, 15-20 oz. I was supposed to have been born on Christmas Eve or Day but I guess I couldn't wait, so early Christmas gift for Ma.

I think I was born ready as a fur (or either I was a cat in my first life) because my parents said the first sound I uttered out was a loud, squeaky "mew" x3

I dunno what I'm gonna do after work. I think I mentioned before in my last journal that I'm not much a party person. If there was a fur convention near my town, I'd DEFINITELY go...are there any furcons going on in December? o.o

I might get myself a new PS2 cause my old broke. Maybe convince my dad to either take me to Hot Topic for clothes I want...or the local dollar store for things I need...then again since it seems like a chore to get me anything on my birthday I might not just bother him at all. I dunno..I'M INDECISIVE RIGHT NOW LEAVEMEALONE!!! @__@ And I'm getting old, dammit! ><

Hope everyone has a safe trip and/or happy Thanksgiving. *tosses live turkeys at readers*

And if you're a turkey...I feel sorry for ya >3 *brandishes an axe*

It's not my birthday yet. It's on the 9th of next month. Still trying to think of what to do on that day. In this family, once you go past 18 birthday and Christmas is only for the children. I don't believe that's true. I'm not much of a party person, but I do enjoy cake and ice cream and gifts/cards on my birthday.

I'm still trying to decide what to do. I do have to WORK on the 9th x.x ...but on the other hand, the 9th is my first payday of the month :3

I'm bored and I don't play the Wii on Wi-Fi alot 'cause I dunno anyone that has a Nintendo Wii (Either only their kids play it or they're "too grown" to play video games >>). I has Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, and Animal Crossing: City Folk. And I pretty sure I have more Wi-Fi games but I'm too lazy to roll over and look through my game library right now (It's a Sunday and I'm off, gimme a break! ><)

I don't have a lot of games 'cause it seems like something always comes up. Seems like I'm in the clear then my mom needs something (food, gas $, etc.) or something for the computer or I suddenly have a dentist bill from 7 months ago because my insurance can't cover it! >< I plan to get more games soon. (thinking about getting Monster Hunter Tri but I'm pretty sure just about everybody who has it has played it to death online) and I'm saving on the side to get either XBox Live for my 360 or trade it in for Kinect...then again, GameStop for being what it is, I might be better off just getting the 360 Live antennae thingie.

So yar if anyone's interesting, send codes by Note or here if you're not afraid of anyone else seeing them.

In most scary games, you play as a character trying to get away the ghostly apparitions and get to the bottom of it but in this cute game you play from the other side.

Haunt the House is a Flash game made by the Super Flash Bros. You're a ghost living in an attic of a huge mansion, but it seems that a family of 30 has moved in and making a whole lot of racket. How do you solve this problem? Like most ghost who hate uninvited guest in their musty, dusty homes: scare 'em out.

For those of you who like to get past the instructions and then don't know what the hell they're doing when they play, I'll explain the basics here. You're a ghost. You can fly around and possess stuff. To move around, use the arrow keys (or with ASDW) and to possess things, press the space button. You can posses just about anything inside the house: tables, chairs, bathtub, paintings, the lights, the fireplace, and so much more. Just fly around and experiment; the ghost will let out a sad "whooooo" when it can't be possessed.

It may be easy to just go around scaring the people all willy-nilly, but if you want a REAL challenge then try to scare the people out the front door. They'll "do something crazy" if you scare them too much.

I had fun with this game: the graphics are cute, kinda sorta old-timey (and the ghost is in a frilly tutu skirt thingie x3), the controls are easy though sometimes my ghost goes out of control (then again that might be just lag on my end), and I loved scaring the people and watching them scream their heads off x3 (my personal favorites: the bathtub, the bear in the trophy room, and the plates in the dining room and kitchen).

*Tips
-Make sure the person/people are facing the object before you make it move
-At first, you can only do one action, whatever you possess can only move or jump, but as you scare more people, you get to do more (float, spook, etc.)
-I'd prefer using the first and second action first, then when their knees are shaking and they look like they're about to pee their pants use the third action
-For those who want a Perfect Score: when the people running around flailing and sweating, don't scare them anymore. If they haven't gone running out the door, wait for them to calm down then scare them again. They'll be screaming their heads off if you scare them too much and jump out the window. Then their spirits will move in with the ghost's mansion and he (she?) will NEVER get to sleep D:

Play the game here and I hope you enjoy it--> http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/552005

Anyone know any old cartoons that were 'scary' or had 'scary bits' in it? I'm talking about old cartoons like from 1980s to 2007(or 2008). I have some already but I feel like it's not enough.

And WHOA! 1000+ pageviews?!?! When did that happen?! And where was I when it happened? 0__0 Thanks to all who viewed. And to those who either looked at my page on accident or hoped to find some exciting pictures/stories on here and didn't see any, I apologize.

[Click on the journal title to watch the video here :3 ]

I made this video a year ago and nearly forgot about it! I thought I share this for anyone whose interested in viewing it.

WARNING TO THOSE WHO "LISTEN TO JUST ABOUT ANY KIND OF MUSIC": I used Nelly's "Here Comes the Boom". I used the clean version but if you don't like rap, whether it's clean or not, don't listen to it :p

And I think the timing is a little off but I think it's the quality making it do that...either that or this sucky laptop of mine. Anyway, enjoy. Hope you like it.

I know it's been awhile but there will be a "Hunted by Prey" Chapter 2. Other than work and life keeping my busy, I'm trying to make this world that Ri-Ri has been taken to more different than any other world other than having her being kidnapped to another world that's lightyears away from Earth (and for those who have no idea what I'm talking about, then you need to read HbP-1) because I already have another story somewhat following that scene.

Also, anyone have any tips on how to make your inspiration stay in place? I mean, it's there! I know what I wanna write and should write, but I don't. I don't know if it's laziness or if I just hit a wall in creativity. Another annoying thing I have is I get a new story idea, start on that, get bored with it, then I get a new idea and the cycle continues. Thanks to this, I have about 10 or 15+ unfinished stories, but I do plan to finish them all, even if it takes me a lifetime.

I'm going to make this short and sweet as possible because 1.) I'm late for work and 2.) I'm not feeling good right now (TotM is starting and seems like the WORST possible shit happens when it starts)

I'm sick of drama and hate. I'm sick of the "he said this" or "she said that". I can't even begin to tell you how many friends I've lost, before I met any of the friends I know now, just because I just listened to one side of the story. And it's because of this that I want to listen to the other person before I get mad, or if there's any reason to get mad.

I'm not mad. I'm not putting any blame on anyone. I'm just sick of the hate/anger/sadness that's going on me right now and it's to the point where I can't hate.

And if this person DID say the things that he said about my friends and I, I want him have the balls to tell me, personally, if all the things he said are true.

Thank you and have a nice day.

I'm trying to make some extra money without getting a night-shift job (which my parents have been nagging at me not to do) or find the local pimp.

Right now, my job has gone to shit. I work in the kitchen of a retirement home. When I first worked there, kitchen staff could eat for free, now we have to pay $3 to eat. And it seems the simplest thing, whether if we accidentally clock-out or if we're caught talking on the phone on our break, can get us automatically fired (and before I found out break was mandatory in a workplace, I heard rumors going around about our break time being taken away).

I work part-time there for right now, but working there full time with all that I said above going on I'd probably go crazy like Kuhn. I've applied full-time at GameStop close to where I live but I've signed a lot of applications there in the past never had a call from them. I kinda have high hopes since they said they're hiring next month, but I'm not so sure. I've never had the best luck with anything now a days. *grabs a fat bunny's foot and rubs her face against it*

Is there anyway I can make money on my furry interest? I can't draw and I don't know how to make fursuits. I can write but I have to finish it all before I publish it. Writing takes a lot of concentration and either I'm working or I keep getting distracted (either because I suddenly get lazy or family, etc.) If anyone knows how I can make extra dough WITHOUT pulling my pants down or getting on my knees, I'd surely appreciate it.

It's...not the story I had planned to put up but this one has been in my mind for awhile. Read it and tell meh what you think :3

*sighs* Since SSBB snapshots aren't allowed on FA, you can find it here on my Photobucket site. Enjoy. *ears lowered*

I've heard what happened to  rukis and it just bothers me on how fans hounded on her (she's a lady, right? o.o Correct me if I'm wrong) because I think at one point she was thinking of stopping her great Cruelty comic. I'm not talking about the ones who showed that they really cared and respected her feelings on this, I'm talking about the whiners, bitchers, and assholes.

"WELCOME TO THE INTERNETZ!" doesn't exactly make things better. Yes, its the truth stuff is pirated/copyrighted everyday but it doesn't mean you should be a complete douche about it. Makes your image look bad and possibly lose your chances of getting laid. Ever heard of karma? It DOES come back to bite you on the ass! Maybe not tomorrow, or the next day, month or year, but I do know from personal experiences that it does work and it.is.a.bitch.to deal with. (And for those of you who "never had to deal with karma", think of it this way...you're gonna die sooner or later in the future.) And I really hope a ton of shit goes down on whoever/whatever pirated her comic.

I feel helpless right now. One side of my brain is going "what can you do? *shrugs*" and the other side is going "YOU CAN DO A LOT YOU STUPID BITCH!!!" I don't wanna bug her either because she's gettin so much love that the haters are drowning and I really wouldn't know what to say myself...

But this is the kinda thing that's got me scared to post my work. You can't put watermarks on stories (...can you?) and they say putting copyrights at the end will help (i.e: This story, characters, etc. is © to <put name here> and can be reached at <put e-mail here> and <put username here>), but I feel that all that does is let fans either send comments, flames, etc. and let you know if your work has been seen somewhere else other than on the site where it was first posted. Then what do you do other than sending angry, threatening e-mails? That doesn't stop them...I'm thinking about getting my work copyrighted or something so if that does happen, I can fuck people over..

But yeah, people, if the artist/writer is already having a hard time dealing with stolen work, don't just pile shit on him/her. It's immature, inconsiderate, and it makes me wanna hunt you down, find you, and beat you into a coma with a metal baseball bat then rape you while you're still in a vegetative state and/or run you over with my car and probably still rape you while you're dead...

I'm back to making my pennies a day and staring at half-finished documents of stories. Starting to miss watching fursuits go by ;-;

Took my pics and vids to work to give co-workers who keep asking me what a furry is some visually idea what it is. Some were interested, some weren't, and now the activities director is thinking about becoming one ^^;;;

Well, I've had my fun and I plan to come to the next con. But first, my main focus is moving in with another furry friend, one I know and love like a big brother (...or is it twin brother since we were born in the same month, I'm just a few weeks older than him), up in Minnesota. Anyone wanna or know anyone that'll sell there car for $700 or $800? Or maybe even $500? ^^;;;

And now back to writing. *lays on her bed, typing frantically on her laptop*

Well, I'm back home...not really all thrilled because mom's trying to put me back to work before I can strip and unpack but I'm already showing her I'm not gonna do it.

Anyway, getting away from the emoness, I'm gonna post the pictures and videos I took on my phone.

The pictures came out pretty good (had to stay perfectly still to get a perfect clear pic). I took pictures/videos of random fursuiters so if anyone sees a pic of a fursuiter that they recognize, lemme know and I'll put their name up.

I'm not too proud of the videos. The quality's good but its all blurry when I move and I don't like hearing myself behind the camera (wish I could mute that out).

Look out for them on my FA and YouTube page.

EEEEE! *flails happily* People in fursuits! ^3^ There was a Fursuit Parade which I thought was awesome because I got a chance to take pictures/videos of all the fursuiters that you may see on Photobucket and/or YouTube (...except for one video where I start singing along with the music unless I can edit it somehow; you don't realize you're half-way or completely tone-deaf until you hear yourself ^^;; ). I dunno about me myself personally in a fursuit; I bet you get hot and sweaty in it something I don't like to be unless I have to run for my life. That and I'm claustrophobic; I'd be the only one in a fursuit running around and flailing screaming I can't breathe.


Then there was the SSBB tournament. I lost, meh, but I did win the first round so I feel somewhat at ease with myself from the first tournament (had on the day BEFORE SSBB came out. wtf?).

Well, the last day of the con is here *sad face* A bit sadder for me because I have to leave early so I won't be around for the closing ceremony. My train leaves around 4 PM.

Meh...feels weird going home and back to normal again...

I thought the first day would have me hiding in my room most of the day but I did eventually come out and look around.

And I'm glad I did. I eventually got used to people in fursuits walking around and being cramped in the Dealer's Den ^^ I even got some pictures and videos (taking videos was kinda frustrating because my camera can only record for a minute then I have to press record again ><) and I'll post them up here when I have the time.

I met Era...who took a picture of his friend standing next to him who I thought WAS him and I ended up poking him instead of Era...I'm sure he'll explain it when he comes back :p An awkward but funny moment for the both of us.

I was more focused on the SSBB tournament but then I started to get more into the con when the shyness and nervousness went away. If I can find somewhere to scan my commissions (or when dad gets his butt up and fix our printer/scanner/copier), I'll show you work that I got from Spunky, Likeshen(sp?), and Gideon.

I also participated in a voice acting workshop...I think overdid it a little ^^;; I didn't take over or act like I didn't want to do it but...I'll let you hear what I mean. In about two months he said (I forgot his name ^^;;; but I know he REALLY likes basketball. He does a podcast for FBA...WHERE IS THAT CARD?!?! UGH! ><) he'll put it on his website...if someone who went to FA:U and knows what I'm talking about, send me the link to the site please...

I wish I could stay a week now....are there furcons that last a week? o.o

I decided I'll be the one waddling around looking like she's about throw up because I'll have butterflies ^^;; to come a day early because 'tis my first con and I didn't want to miss a thing. It's kinda weird being here by myself and I'm already feeling nauseous from nervousness and excitment.

I've been a fur for a long while probably..since I was 11 or 12 and I feel like I'm out of place...I feel like I'm among strangers....well, I am but we're all here in the interest of the same thing making us unknown friends or something or other ...anyway, yeah: first con, VERY nervous AND excited-DON'T TOUCH ME! *hides*...okay, I promise I won't do that. ^^;;

Update: I'll be the one waddling around looking like she's about throw up because I'll have butterflies AND I'll have a band-aid by the left side of my mouth because I scratched myself two nights ago.
