On Saturday I was able to experience a wonderful event, Diana and I sitting with her parents were able to ask the big question. Both of her parents agreed and gave their blessing for us to be husband and wife. Im going to be a husband everyone, and i am so honored to have a wife that i can love and cherish all the days of my life. ^.=.^

For those who may be wondering about my safety I am fine. I left the main hotel shortly after I saw the emergency vehicles arrive. Half hour after I got back to my hotel room we started to notice an influx of refugees. I was able to provide some small food and water until the crisis died down. But it seems everyone is ok at the time being, I just hope the 19 people in the hospital recover.

Quick update, i will be going to MFF this year and with an exciting new accessory! My suit has been completed and i will be seen at MFF with it! Despite me drifting away from the community i still hold onto the love of my sona and being able to actually portray that makes me very excited.

Outside of that there is not much to say, i have tonsillitis at the moment and i am making preparations for moving to my new apartment with my soon-to-be wife Diana. At this point i realize i am getting old because i am looking forward to getting furniture from Arhaus.

So yeah thats all thats going on for me, doubt many will read this but oh well. I suppose these journals are more like writings in a public diary.

So despite that many people may think i have vanished, i am very much alive and well. I have been busy with my personal life, career mostly and also my beloved partner. Planning to move out of my current place to live with her and get out lives going. As for the community here among the furries i feel myself begining to drift away. My ideologies have begun to change and while i may still hold open mindedness to peoples sexuality i have begun to feel over burdened by oversexualization of the community. Its like ice cream, in small amounts its ok but too much just kills your desire for it. I still love the concept of anthropromorphics to the point that i am paying for my own suit. However the drama of the community has been less then appealing, another reason i have been distancing myself. But outside of that i would kindly ask that people no longer RP with me, my intrest in it is gone at this point and i have no desire to do so. One of the reasons being that my sex life is decent enough as it is that i dont need RP, that and most RP is rather sub-par. So yeah, thats my current life if anyone is curious. Please check on my profile in a few minutes, im going to post a progress picture pf my suit that is being worked on.

Once again another AC rolls around, hopefully I see some old faces there and some new ones. Despite what many may think I am still a member of the fandom, just been busy with my new job. Although I think I will be a bit more active in the next coming months when I get my suit this winter, my maker is asking for my duct tape suit. All in all I would like to be more active in the community, i just need to find time after work and ofc people worth talking to. Anywho, staying at the omni. I'll be the lizard handing out cards... If I can find them >.=.>

The skink is once again traveling to another con. See you there folks ^^

So everyone's favorite blue skink is coming back from a long hiatus. More or less furry drama was annoying me to death so I opted to stay away from the community for a good while. Well I am back and have made quite a bit of progress, I have actually completed half of my A+ certification test and passed! Now I just need to take the other test this Friday, each test costing $183 a piece which is why I have been so busy saving up money and studying. Before long I should have a job up in the city around Washington DC. The larger income will help me to be able to live on my own away from my family. So yes I should be more active on here and I would love to see you all message me when you get the free time.

Been having a lot of emotional stress lately and not enough support to cope with it. I am retracting myself a bit from the community for a few reasons, mostly being some insecurities i have been feelings. I am not leaving altogether but just taking a break, just a lot of emotional stress and sometimes this community dumps even more stress on me.

So my time at AC was great, i got to see a lot of new friends and old ones all at the same time. This was my first time at AC and I know I will go back again, it was so much fun to experience with everyone that I am going to strive hard to get a suit for the upcoming year.

But in the meantime I have a small problem, I have charity that is running very low on time and I need emergency money to make this all possible. So to help I am going to sell my Dell Studio 1535 laptop, I am asking for $300 which is more than reasonable since it originally sold for $1600, but if you wish to haggle me then so be it. I need the money too soon to complain about how much I get, so long as I can get the charity money in time for my friend is what matters right now to me.

Leaving for AC tomorrow, got a nice 200 mile drive up to Pittsburgh to get my friends at the airport and get to our hotel room. If anyone wants to meet me face to face just let me know. ^^

Well FCN was a blast this year and I got to meet a lot of new furs and new friends. It was a really great time and I have walked away feeling refreshed being around my brother and sister furs. You are all great and trully wonderful people who bring spice to my life and help remind me that there are good people in this world. Thank you everyone. ^^

I must say that I have come to the conclusion that I want a fursuit. Or a scale suit, it will be massive undertaking to find someone who can create the detail I want and trying to find someone to do scale work is going to be rough and not to mention expensive. But you know what, fuck it go big or don't go at all. I have a goal and vision of something beatiful that I want to bring into fruition and although it may cost a bit the results I believe will be well worth it.

And on a final note that is less happy I must say that I am begining to worry more and more about my ability to remember things. For anyone at FCN I would deeply like to apologize about forgetting any of your names or matching faces with names. Its been an issue all my life with memory issues but as of late my memory is getting worse and worse. Its very embarrassing to say the least because it seems to others like I don't care about them enough to remember their names. I think I am going to go to the doctor for an appointment in the future and see what the issue is. There is a good chance that it may be my ADD hindering my brain from properly registering data. I did take Ritalin 12 years ago and stopped because of how it fucked with me. So going to need to find something else if that is the case.

Anywho that's what's up wih me. Be home around 2am.

Straight to the point, going to FCN and I want to know if anyone will be there and want to see me? Carpooling with my friend  AshFox and bunking with him if everything works out. If not I will have to bag the whole trip since my original arrangements got canceled and the hotel room is essentially a last ditch emergency. Hopefully I will make it, would love to go again and meet so many new faces. ^^

I have an odd yet simple request for my friends here on FA. I have an issue in my life that I am trying to deal, to some it may seem silly yet I am trying to avoid it for temptation reasons, yet I have a good reason behind it. I would kindly ask for friends and watchers not to show me anything that would be suggestive for porn, especially butts since anyone who knows me.... I like butts. The reason behind what may seem like a silly fasting is the simple fact that I have an ejaculation issue, one which is caused by pawing too much and my body loosing sensation. I am trying to stop all together, not forever mind you but until I can get my body to a normal state so that my sex life can be more enjoyable. I am also setting my profile to SFW for this very reason, but please do not tempt me and when i ask to stop. Please stop. This is more then something that may be silly to most of you, this is part of my life that I am trying to fix and make enjoyable once again, please help me by keeping the temptation away from me. Thank you all, and I hope you all understand.

Also this is not for forever, just until things start to work better for me.

Welp it's been several months since my breakup with my partner and I have come to a point that I believe it's best that I look for a new partner, or at least get into the dating scene once again. Not sure really where I am going with this, but I guess I just want some support in my endeavors.

Great news everyone! The past 2 days have been really awesome to me! It all started yesterday when a plant dealer I did business with 3 years ago finally contacted me to let know that a reservation I had made back then had finally come through. For those of you who don't know me well enough I grow exotic plants in my spare time, specifically Nepenthes. This dealer has finally contacted me after 1079 days and has finally sold me one of the rarest species of Nepenthes on earth, Nepenthes edwardsiana! I know most on may not understand how groundbreaking this is but will little online reading about this plant you can soon figure out why I am so happy. Even if you don't quite understand just understand that this is a very important day for me. It all came at the price of 190 Euros, which is actually kinda cheap considering this plant sells for $1000 easily on the market.

Now for the other news! I just got my tax return back and finally paid off my car after 5 years of first getting the loan! So today I finally own my car! I also got a mail order reminder that I have my aquarium chiller in route (long story), Unigan Caravan from Onta is being shipped to my house, a medium Seadragon from BD is in route to my home, as well as an additional Nepenthes as a side project. So yeah the past couple days have been awesome! To top it off my friend just bought me a .357 colt revolver! :D

So yeah the past couple days have really cheered me up, however a dear friend of mine is having some issues in that her girlfriend might possibly have Meningitis. Please keep her in your thoughts, and even though I am not a person of any faith pray as you see fit to whatever god you believe in.

Okies I got 3 free Windows 8 licensees that I am giving away for free. Why? Because personally I hate Windows 8 and these keys expire at the end of this month, so time is short! First 3 people who ask for it get it!

[Edit] I have made a grave error, my licenses are not for Windows 8 per say but it turns out they are for a free "Windows 8 media center pack" If you still want this the offer is still up, but I appologize for the confusion.

The other reason I am here is because some of you are getting your tax return soon, because of this I am offering free quotes for designing a computer desktop rig! My designs are only limited to imagination and how deep your pockets go, the more money you put on the table the more I can use towards the machine. Once I give you the list of parts you have the choice of me building it for you for a fee of $50, mind you that i recommend this because I know how to properly arrange an OS to work under max performance. These computers are mostly made for gaming purposes or for art since most of you on here enjoy drawing. So whichever is your reason simply ask me! I really want to build a rig since I have some good designs in mind, plus I enjoy the final outcome and seeing the joy in people faces when they see the finished work.

So yes, please note me if you would like a list of parts for a awesome PC build!

So I am turning the big 25 this month. January 15th is the big day so when it rolls around send your condolences... I mean congratulations. To be honest I have mixed feelings about turning 25 a mixture of both happiness and sadness for being this old. Part of me really wants to throw a party but there really isn't any point since only 2 or 3 good friends would really show up. But I have you all, my fur brothers and sisters to spend this with. So whatever may come my way in this new part of my life, I plan on making it the best and making my future even brighter. ^^

So I am currently in Michigan paying some good friends of mine a visit. While I am up here I got to thinking and I realised I wanted to be a more active memeber of the Fur community, going to cons and fur meets as well as other suggestions to help me be more interactive. I would like to be able to take the time to know the people who have friended me more and try to develop more meaningful friendships. Overall I want to take the time develop more lasting ties and a deeper broherhood with those I meet, so please leave a comment and when I get back (which should be the 31st) lets try and become more acquainted. ^^

[Note: I am typing this all on my phone so forgive the poor grammer and hastily scribbled jargon here]

I just don't get it really, I am not trying to be rude I am merely trying to understand it better. What is the interest with fat and hyper fat? I mean every time I see FA's main page I see either fat or hyper fat. So can someone shed some light on what makes this so appealing?

Things have been getting better on my end here, still feeling a little sad about everything but I am back open to talk to at least. So feel free to comment and other stuff with me once again. And thank you very much for respecting my wishes during this time, it means a lot to me guys.

I need some time to myself, not comments, no notes, no shouts, nothing. Just leave me be till I get something sorted out.

-Simon

[EDIT] My situation has been resolved, yet it leaves me in a deep state of pain. I would still kindly ask that everyone leave me be for the time being, there is still a lot of healing I need to do in my own life and heart right now... just talking to anyone else hurts a lot.

I really wish I was at MFF right now. Just feel rotten inside because I want to be able to see and hug new furs. It just sucks being stuck here and unable to see people I care about.

.... I'm hunting wabbits.

Ok for those of you who know my skill in working with computers I also build desktops for clients who want them as well. Now my machines are not your normal desktops, they are designed for high performance for either gaming or graphical work. Despite my machine being 4 years old now it can run circles around just about everyone on here, including most i7 machines. As such I am offering that service here as well, if you would like I can design a computer from the ground up for you, but only if you are serious. Don't bother me with trivial crap if you are just going to waste my time, because I am tired of spending several hours designing a machine from the ground up only to have someone "think about it". So if you are serious about me building a machine it's $20 upfront, cough up the dough or it's no show.

Here is my machine for an example, my most common price tag is $1,500. That is pretty good prices for a machine given the parts.
