Why I Care So Much About Sports
General | Posted 8 years agoI know that the phrase “sports is an escape” can be overused but it became very true during the Nationals Game 5 loss to the Cubs, a game where we once again lost in Washington DC as the favorite. Now I must say that the Cubs played a great game and a great series and absolutely deserve to move on, but it was a game we should have won and made costly mistakes.
Last night’s game was the most emotional roller coaster of a game that I have ever experienced and one that I’ll need a couple days to recover from via lots of beer. The Nats took the lead early on and things looked very promising until that god awful 5th inning where I saw the worst baseball I have ever seen and we just imploded before slowly climbing back where we were potentially one swing away from extra innings.
Now, my life has changed drastically over the past few months. A lot of people know bits and pieces of it but no one knows every part of it (a problem I have been trying to work out with my therapist). I have been going through a very rough breakup with someone that I still have a strong emotional connection to that I basically have ruined from bad decisions and fear. I also have been struggling with depression, which I think I have had for a while but had been exacerbated over the past few months. I sit in bed on my days off feeling empty inside and unable to do anything but sleep all day, I binge watch the same shows on Netflix over and over and I struggle to find happiness. I have become a shell of who I once was but I am taking steps to come back from it but I have a long way to go.
Now to tie it in with sports. I absolutely LOVE watching sports. I have teams of multiple sports and levels that I root for, buy jerseys of, listen to podcasts about, and talk with other like-minded people about. Growing up in Virginia I naturally went with the DC teams professionally and my alma mater Virginia Tech for collegiate sports. None of my teams have won the championship during my lifetime. Closest was when the Hokies lost to Florida State in 1999 in the national championship game. The Washington Redskins won the Super Bowl right before I was born. The teams that invest most of my time and energy are VT football, the Washington Capitals, and the now eliminated Washington Nationals.
The Capitals constantly become the best team in hockey and yet cannot make it past the second round. This past postseason was especially rough because I was watching Game 5 with my boyfriend when they won and then watched Game 7 in that same bar after we were broken up, surrounded by Penguins fans and being the only one in a Capitals jersey. Other fans comment with things like “oh of course we lost, it’s what we do, we’re cursed” but I am not one of those people. I believe. I believe with everything I got for our team. And it’s always come to blow up in my face.
Last night’s game 5 was very cathartic because I felt so many emotions to such extremes from excitement to anger to frustration to elation to sadness. My emotions have been sitting on the couch and suddenly were thrown into a marathon. During that time I finally felt normal again and what I felt like before my depression set in. It was finally back…and now it’s over.
What made this loss especially frustrating was that I was so desperate for something good to happen with my life. I have been feeling like every aspect of my life has become a loss and I wanted a win really badly. So badly that it hurt when it didn’t come to fruition. It was just another reminder that I’m just not the person that good things happen to. This feeling of failure is going to be a part of my life for years to come. I just want something good to happen and the more it doesn’t happen, the worse it feels.
Tonight sucks, everything just sucks right now and I just want to sit in a corner and cry and watch now usual shows on Netflix to calm me down. All while I see other fans celebrating (as they should be) and feeling the joy I long for so badly. I know it can seem pathetic to care so much about a team that you’re not doing anything for but it’s not “just a game” to me. It’s something real that I can use to forget things that I am struggling with. It’s a part of me and right now it sucks that it is but I’ll be back at it again for another team, another season, another chance. Hoping that one day I’ll finally get that win that I need.
I know this journal was a bit all over the place but I needed to get this out of my head.

6 things learned my first time in fursuit
General | Posted 10 years agoMidwest FurFest 2015 was a big deal for me because it was the first furry convention I was able to go to and be able to fursuit. I have been to a few furry conventions but had not had the chance to get into a suit (either my own or others) and here are some fun things I learned firsthand.
1. OH MY GOD THE SWEATING! This should come as no surprise but going through it did catch me off guard at first. My first time out in suit, I was sweating before I made it to the lobby :P Luckily this was not that big of a deal.
2. You get hugs from so many people whether you know them or not. People will go out of their way to get a hug and it was so rewarding.
3. I am the same person in suit as I am out of suit. This is not true for everybody. People can make drastic changes in personality in suit and I can see why. I'm pretty outgoing by nature and I was in my otter as well, though probably a little more than usual.
4. Being able to look at a camera is an art form. If you have "follow me eyes" then this is easy, but for someone who doesn't and only practiced with selfies in the bathroom this was a challenge. I basically learned that if I couldn't see the camera or the cameraperson, then I was likely looking in the right direction.
5. I will likely never see 95% of the photos taken of me in suit. So many pictures and I doubt I'll be able to track them down though I will try.
6. I become way more confident at the dances/raves. I tore it up at the dance floor in the most embarrassing way possible and I loved every second of it. Don't think I would have been able to do this out of suit.
It was a life-changing experience. MFF was a bigger con than I anticipated and didn't get to see everybody I wanted to but that's okay! Hope to attend cons more frequently in the future and continue learning how to fursuit.

Finished season 1 as a head coach
General | Posted 12 years agowell it's hard to believe it, but my first year of being a head coach for a summer league swim team is complete.
I've been an assistant coach for this team for three years and was quite comfortable with that position. Becoming the head coach was very intimidating and I had doubts about my ability to lead the team I swam for since I was 5 years old. Luckily the other co-head coach was my younger brother and together we made it work.
We were the smallest team in the league of 6 often with half of the swimmers as our opponents but where we lacked in numbers we did not lack in talent. we went 3-2 in the regular season but finished 2nd at the championship meet losing by only 38 points behind first and over 200 over 3rd (who happened to be the 6-time defending champion who we haven't beaten since 1996). Out of the 5 champs records broken during the meet, three of them were from our team.
It's an amazing seeing all the hours and hard work I've put into this team have these results. I got a lot of compliments from parents which if you've ever dealt with any club team, dealing with the parents is the worst part. All the assistant coaches who've I've worked along with the past three years like the work my brother and I have done.
I'm already looking to the future and see us winning champs for the first time in our programs history and hope I can lead these kids there. They are very motivated now and I think next year is our year.
For now, it's time to get in the mindset of my future in the healthcare field but swimming will always have a special place in my heart.

Now it's time for the real world
General | Posted 12 years agoWell I did it! I graduated college! Now it's time to get a bunch of letters, say a lot of goodbyes, and answer the same question about what my plans (or lack thereof) of my future!
I changed a lot since I first moved in as a freshman, I gained the confidence to admit I was gay, come out publicly, become one of those weirdos that pretends to be an animal on the internet, and done some spontaneous traveling which is something I never thought I'd do. anyway I've definitely grown into a better person and one that I am proud of and hope that others are as well.
My last few weeks I had a serious case of graduation goggles (where you suddenly love every mundane or annoying thing just because it'll be the last time you do it) I didn't want to leave the library before my last final. But now that I've walked the stage, got my diploma, and posed for a billion pictures I got over it and I am ready to move on. Now I don't want to seem like I didn't have that great of a time in college, I'll have amazing memories that I'll treasure for the rest of my life (unless...you know...Alzheimers) but I won't sit in my room and cry over the fact that things won't be the same again.
As far as the next year or so goes, I'm moving back in with my parents. This will only be for a year to earn money while living rent free and get acquainted with work. Believe it or not it was my parents idea but we all agreed that after a year I'll have my own place. Over the summer I'll be a head coach for a summer league swim team and an assistant coach for a club team. In addition I'll be work as a medical scribe in the emergency department at the local hospital. Not sure how long I'll have that position because I want to become a patient care technician to gain on-patient experience hours to eventually apply for Physician Assistant school.
Also I should mention that I'll be staying in Virginia during this time but still hopeful to go out and live somewhere else and experience new places. For now though, I'll be patient and make sure I have a good financial backing and experience before I just go somewhere.
The future is still pretty unknown which is both scary and exciting! Let's see how things go

What's been going on with me
General | Posted 12 years agoSo I've had a really shitty couple of days due to physical ailments that you may have heard bits and pieces of if you've seen some of my tweets. Last week I went into the on-campus student health center for this boil type thing on my right armpit that I originally thought was armpit chaffing but as it got bigger I knew what it was. I've had one of these before on my chest that was cut open and drained (took about two weeks to heal) The PA and nurse there said it was just an infection caused by shaving my chest (which was bullshit cause I don't shave there) I believe this to be MRSA (Methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) or some other type of staph infection. You may remember this from the news covering the epidemic of it about 6 years ago. But anyway, I had to request that they take a culture and test it. The doctor this time agreed while the nurse who was there the first time was still stubborn. They made about a three-inch cut on it (which was excessive) to drain it. Now I'm in the recovery process which persists of keeping the wound from closing up cause it has to heal from the inside out and continually packing it with absorbent foam. This hurts like hell. I can't move my right arm without it hurting (guess which hand I write with? :D) So I'm stuck at my place unless I absolutely need to leave and have to get it redressed constantly which is really painful. I should hear from the test results tomorrow to see if it is MRSA. My dad (an emergency physician) is coming down tomorrow to look at it and wants to have a surgeon look at it cause he's just as annoyed with the health center employees as I am. This has already taken a toll mentally and physically. It's like a constant burning with spikes of sharp pain at slight movements. I'm trying my best to stay positive but also need the occasional yell and cry in my pillow. Just wanted to put this out there so I'm not repeating the same story over and over.
Poetry topic ideas
General | Posted 12 years agoSo I had a bit of a fun idea. I've been working on a lot of poetry lately and I was thinking that I could use you guys to help me with topics. They can be deep topics or fun ones. I'll choose a small handful of them (if I even get that many) :P and write them and post them. This'll help me writing more and hopefully will get me to write something really good that I didn't know I could write about. So if you want to just comment with a topic (or two or three or seven) and depending on the response I'll see what I can do! :)
Window sticker/fursona for my car
General | Posted 13 years agoNo the subject line is not lying. I want to create a fursona for my car. Why? Cause I'm bored as shit! :D but also it'd be freaking awesome. My car was named "Thunder Turtle" by my dad and it's stuck ever since. It's a 2003 Honda Element (the driving toaster) and it's Galapagos green. I'm going to think of some sort of design for it and get a window sticker of it. Now this is where your input comes in. Do you know any places of business that let you make your own window sticker? Cause I think it'd be really cool to have that for my car. I'm going to have one hell of a time trying to make a car into a turtle bur we'll see how it goes!

Amazing work from ThePaintedDog
General | Posted 13 years agoI just wanted to show my appreciation fro the great work done by 
ThePaintedDog
I decided to commission one of her (I think she's female xD) shotglasses with an animal sculpture hanging on the side. Instead of adding my character on it, I decided to get one with my dog on it and give it to my dad as a Father's Day present. I had made this decision only a month before today (Father's Day) and it says to expect it done 1-1.5 months so I was hoping for the best. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and kept me updated on the progress of it, something that I appreciate as a customer. And I received it in the mail yesterday. (Can you say CLUTCH!) I was blown away by how much the sculpture looked like my dog and my dad was so happy to get it.
I highly recommend you check out her stuff and hopefully order your own! I'll definitely be looking her way again

AnthroCon 2012
General | Posted 14 years agoI'm going to be at AnthroCon this weekend!! This will be my first ever con and I'm really excited. If you're also going you should totally come say hi and give me a hug cause otters are really good at hugging. I'll be there late Thursday night until Sunday afternoon. I'll more than likely be on twitter a lot during it updating where I am occasionally (@RivardOtter) Don't be thrown off if I don't look exactly like my icon :P So if you're there, I hope I can at least say hi ^_^
