Hey folks, for those in the know, I live in the northwest part of LA, near where the Palisades fire is currently raging.

I'm not currently in any active evacuation zones (Despite an alert that went out to the whole LA region earlier today by mistake).

I have some coworkers and friends in the region I am capable of leaning on should I need to book it, and have most essentials, cat included, ready to go if the alert does come down and we lose a chunk of the city to flames.

I have a lot of friends and colleagues that're out of homes and businesses now, I sympathize for them immensely, it must be extremely difficult to cope with.

For anyone else in the region, be it LA, Pasadena, or San Fernando and Clarita valleys, please stay safe.

So I got banned from F-List again, patently for the following statement:

"There's a lot of pedo shit."

Since someone was commenting about the ads in one of the channels I'm in.

I could use a break from the site anyway, it's been a lot more take than give, but I'm just pissed that no matter how much I report offensive content on it, I get chastised and told it's fine and that I should tolerate it, but the second I say anything about it? Ban.

This is I think my third ban now for 'kink shaming'. Pedophilia isn't a kink, it's a crime, nuff said.

If you wanna keep in touch with me from there, my Discord is just Kefkah.

Ech, another year and I've hit 31 @.@

Crazy to think I've been doing furry stuff for some 14-15 years now.

Woah, realized I have not posted a journal here in two and a half years, shame on me for not staying in touch with folks here! I am doing okay! Still in SoCal, still have roof over my head, and soon to be starting another job this week.

I haven't been using FA as much these days or chatting with folks here so much, so sorry for that. I'm more readily accessible on Discord at Kefkah#7461 for those that want to nudge me there, just make sure to let me know who you are first! If I don't recognize the name, I probably won't friend it!

I've also been very actively streaming games on Twitch in the past few months! You can come check me out at https://www.twitch.tv/kefkah77
I'm mostly a variety streamer, but I do a mix of retro content and newer titles, so if you wanna come watch, or just hang out and chat, please stop by! Just please keep things clean if ya do, the stream IS furry friendly, but our content can make it awkward for non-furry viewers, so use your better judgement there! The schedule is about to change a bit, but you should be able to catch me on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after 6:30PST, as well as on Weekends.

On the note of Twitch stuff, I reached affiliate somewhat recently and am looking to commission some avatars and icons for the channel, preferably on the cute or silly side. If you have any suggestions for artists to commission, or services to offer, please let me know!

Hope you all have been good! Be well y'all!

That awkward moment when someone says happy birthday, and you've gotten so old that you forgot it was your birthday.

Turned 28 today, yay significant sounding days =P

Rasum-frasum journals, I need to keep up with these more!

Thought I'd point out that my old friend and artist  Wyldsyde has returned from the 7 year snooze! She's a bunch of fun and does some spiffy comics featuring yours truly! She's finishing up some plot-lines from the original comic at this point, and has some surprises in store for the future, so you should go check her out!

Heyo folks, been a while since I've posted a dang thing anywhere, apparently folks thought I'd left the fandom or died or something like that. To clear up any confusion there I have not left and never did! I just kinda went quiet, I'm NOT the most chatty person at times, and most of my uploads are fairly reliant on gift art, since I'm one of many furries that don't have a large disposable income to toss at art and all that. Aside from all that life's been alright, employment market still blows, got into a car accident and am currently trying to hunt down a decent Civic or Accord in the area without hacking off my left leg or selling my first born into slavery. As for the accident, I'm fine! My back's a little torqued up, but what else is new with foxes? I'm still having a little trouble making friends in the San Fernando Valley area, but I don't get out too much, so that's on me. Once I have a car again that should open things up some more, particularly once I pass my bartending tests, foxes tend to be shaken, not stirred, right? Other stuff coming up is, well, basic holidays (No clue what my costumes are gonna be this year) and my sister's wedding! That makes me feel OLD, and then there's plans there that I might have a niece or nephew on the way after that, mhmm.

Anyhoo, ranting aside, feel free to say hi and stay in touch with me! I only bite so much!

I don't usually do the whole meme thing, but the whole assumption meme sounds like an alright way to make conversation with various folks without it being all mondo creeper stares and awkward pauses, mhmm. Feel free to toss out any assumptions you have about me (The person behind Rhen) or Rhennessa (Please denote which if it's not clear!) and I'll let'cha know if they're right or not.

Amazingly enough I'm actually local to the con, so just puttin' out some feelers to see if any of y'all are gonna be at the con at the end of the month. Would be nice to catch up with folks, haven't been to a furcon in almost two years now.

Well, tomorrow at least. Just got a busy work weekend, so tossing this up now, turning 26 tomorrow, yay another year, boo loss of health insurance. I'll celebrate the loss of insurance by destroying my liver!

 CaptainQ is open for spiffy commissions, and watchers of my page have gotten to enjoy a good chunk of work from him here and there, so you should nudge at him to draw your characters too! His commission info is located here:

And he's entirely reasonable, yup!

-Rhen

Got in earlier today after that insane drive and stuff, still a good bit of unpacking and such to do. Will be good to meet folks in the area once that starts happening and stuff, mhmm.

FINALLY going on my move to Cali tomorrow morning. Main stops are going to probably be in Springfield Missouri and Phoenix Arizona, but I'll be passing through most major cities along that route the whole way. Hope to see some folks along the way, and give a nudge if you're in those areas, mhmm.

-Rhen

'Cause I'd like to try out the game and stuff before putting money down to play it @.@

Update: Many thanks to Xili for being an awesome drakitty!

One of my rats, Blondie, passed away last night. I'm hoping it was peaceful for her, and I'm glad I was giving her a lot of attention recently. She hasn't been doing so well for a while, but was being extremely affectionate as of late, mostly just wanting to be held all the time. I'm gonna be a bit bummed out for a while as I get over her passing =/

Hey folks, I'll probably be dropping offline for a little bit in a month or so as I move out to the west coast (I'll be driving, so that'll take some time). I'm currently in Maryland, and will be moving out to Southern California, probably through the lower half of the US. If there's anyone on that route that'd be game for hosting me for a night on the way, or just want to do lunch/dinner/whatever on the way through, lemme know and we can see about doing that through the trip.

-Rhen

Just got back to Murralyn and everything went well, had a fun time and hope to actually catch folks when I'm out west again =P

Heading out to California for the next couple of weeks, I may or may not be on during that time. Should be back on the 22nd. If you're around LA/Hollywood, and I know ya, feel free to give a holler, could be chill to hang out.

Can't afford it no more, so I won't be in attendance, lameness D=

By request! I'll be popping open this old d20 RPG and playing through some of it today, hopefully to resume streaming it some more later!

Feel free to pop in and moo at me =3

Hey folks, was wondering if anyone knew of any rooming possibilities for FC 2013, boarding possibilities too. Was considering a trip to visit my sister in LA, and FC happens to he in that general direction again. If you have any trustworthy leads, lemme know please =3

'Cause I can

And you folks deserve at least a hi, how're you doin' once in a while.

And I'm planning on working out gettin' more fit, 'cause I'm unhealthy, and while only 200lbs at 6'1", I know I'm a chubster and need to fix this.

Hey folks, I've got two copies of Torchlight 2 (About $20 value each) on my steam account, and I was wondering if any of y'all might know any artists who might be willing to trade a commission for a copy of the game, mhmm. If not, oh well, and I'm happy to play the game with folks too =P

-Rhen

I'm Rhennessa on the Matherson East Coast server on Planetside, feel free to gimme a friend invite in there and we can play sometime. I'm currently active with the SuperTroopers outfit, and we ARE recruiting!

Oh! Right, and I'm playing as New Conglomerate, because hard mode is where it's at.

'Cause I'm 25 now, and apparently NOT old, and in fact still a darn kid with too much energy who sings and dances and tells derpy stories when drunk! It was a good night, so thanks to everyone who wished me well for my birthday =D
