Sometimes, I really hate people, I mean REALLY REALLY hate people ...
I was on the train yesterday on my way to MCM manchester expo, and my bag was stolen. I was only 5 seats away from the bag on the luggage rack where I was told by a porter it must stay, some man picked it up, and made to get off the train, as soon as I saw it, I jumped up, and tried to run down the corridor to the doors to stop him, but the train set off again. I alerted the porter right away, but the guy had made off with my bag ):

Not only did he get my laptop and both ipod, but things that are worth the world to me but worthless to everyone else.

My fursuit feet and paws for Sorrel,
My fursuit underarmour,
All my clothes,
My underwear,
My shoes,
My MCM tickets,
My medications that I need daily,
My red panda kigurumi ( surprisingly expensive) ):

So after just 24 hours in manchester I've have headed home, and despite all this, thank you so much to evilsquirrel Who not only put me up for the night, endured my random rages everytime I rememberd something new that was missing never to return, but he also lent me a shirt to sleep in, and took me to see adorable puppies in the morning which really made my day ;; <3 so thank you.

So yes .... now I have no way of getting online other than at other peoples houses etc as the job hunt is going so badly, my savings have run out after being unemployed for 3 months, and I can't afford to replace any of the stuff... and only 2 weeks before EF oh well ):

If you read one thing today, make it this illustrated blog post, because I have never laughed harder in my life! Its so tragically accurate I've never seen a dumb dog described better!

Confuzzled 2011 is over, and I can't tell you how much fun it was, I'm forever grateful for all the lovely people I met there, wish I could remember you all to add you! If anyone see's any good pictures or videos of my suit, feel free to link me I'm always happy to see them.

So yeah next con for me should be Eurofurence 17, anyone else going? I've already booked flights etc, but sadly baggage allowance is being a bitch again, so if anyone is driving from the UK on the furball run I'd LOVE if you have any spare room to slip my suit into your car, I'm willing to pay in money, treats, hugs and arts! I'm always grateful to people who help me out.

In other news my Facebook seems to still be blocked, despite me appealing several times, its starting to seem highly unfair that everyone else got a warning to change their name, whereas I got straight out banned no warning ... sigh its not like I was hiding either like a lot of people dor, there were plenty of pictures of me out of suit so they could see I was a real person.
Anyway, hopefully I'll get it back soon!

I'm referencing a journal to  shadowsani shes currently working on my thistle suit, but threw up this amazing offer to some lucky person out there.
A fullsuit fursuit entirely free of charge all you have to do is wear it out and about as much as possible.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/...../#cid:17216407

Check her out, shes a sweetheart.

[Cross-posting this from my other account in the hopes of getting extra advice]

Okay so, I'm offically screwed....
Over Christmas when I wasn't able to get out (due to bank closures over holiday periods) my account when £-3 over drawn, I've been charged a total of £170 for this in overdrawn fees .... on an under 25s student account, thats fucking extortionate. Time for legal action I guess, and an extreme diet for me ... who needs food anyway? I can live off of ...£3.24 yey!

On the plus side...
-I've already paid for CF (considering selling my ticket now though)
-I've already paid -Most- of what I owe my fursuit maker (still owe her £80 for the partial, and £45 for the bodysuit fur)
-I've alread paid my rent until the end of April ( but I still need to focus on bills etc)
-I've already filled a pre-paid bus pass so I can still make it up to university.

SO all I need to focus on is finding food for the next few months, and living like a hobo. I'd hate to think I was putting other people out because of my financial hardships, which makes me feel a little better. But if anyone has any legal advice or expertise in this area, I'd love to hear it, I'm already sending a letter to the bank on the advice of this website. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/bank-charges

This is particularly annoying as I considered myself rather financially stable or I wouldn't have bought another suit / paid for CF I usually pride myself on being on top of things. Oh well.... mistakes were made.

This is a message for everyone that doesn't have me on facebook, this weeks livestream will be a special double fursuit edition, as Brixston will be staying with me for a couple of days, with his suit.

The show will be Thursday 27th at 10pm GMT probably going on until about 2am. www.livestream.com/Arcais

It'll be the regular deal, subservient requests, chat, banter and general fun! but with two fursuiters for the price of one! So you can request things for a duo (no not like that!) So be there! and see me and  Brixston

Can I hang out with you? :: Sure, just introduce yourself!

So I'm a little stuck for ideas on what to wear with my fursuit at RBW D: Its a partial, so a middle is rather necessary.

The arms will come high up to the shoulders with elastic across the back, and the legs will go to just above the knee / on the thigh.
But the thing is I won't be able to try the outfit beforehand as I'm picking up the fursuit parts at the con.

I could wear something that suits Sorrell, or the theme this year is space pirates, I just have NO idea what I want to wear that will suit her Dx

Suggestions :3?
