Level 35 reached!
Posted 3 years agoOk this is getting into big numbers territory now! I'm now technically closer to my 40th birthday than I am my 30th, am I officially a greymuzzle yet?
Level 33 reached!
Posted 5 years agoToday is my birthday, and I'm now well into my thirties! It's weird to look back on my old birthday journals from when I was like 25/26 and being scared of 30, whereas now I'm rapidly approaching 40 XD
Just wanted to say thank you to all my watchers who enjoy the smut I commission, I promise I'll get round to uploading my backlog of stuff soon!

Posted 6 years agoI am here! :3
New year, new me
Posted 7 years agoFirst off, Happy New Year to all my watchers! I hope you all had enjoyable Christmasses.
A few things about me, I'm now officially in my thirties which happened back in October. Scary times, a whole new decade! I'm not sure how I managed to not do a "Level 30 reached!" journal at the time, but ah well!
Secondly, my fursona has gone through some kind of transformation process and has gone from being a cheetah to a cougar/puma/mountain lion (use whichever term you prefer). After much deliberation I decided that a cougar suits me more in terms of real-life build and my preference for colder climates. I have already commissioned some art of my new-found cougary self, so keep an eye on my gallery!
Thirdly, I'm going to start taking German classes. I studied German for two years in high school (my primary language was Spanish which I studied for seven years). Main reasons being that there are quite a few furs in German speaking countries that I'm interested in getting to know much better (read into that however you will), and also with EF being almost a certainty for me every year, it would help me to know at least SOME German beyond "Hallo, wie gehts?" and "Ein Bier, bitte". So that's a thing that'll be happening soon.
I think that's all I have to say for now; my two planned conventions this year are EAST and EF which are both in Germany. I may do MFF if I can get it to work out for me, but it isn't looking likely at the moment.

Stolen from
masada
Me
27, British, fat, drinks too much, swears too much :D
What languages do you speak?
English, and really shite Spanish
What day are you getting there?
Wednesday (19th)
How are you getting there?
Flying into SXF, then most likely a taxi to the Estrel
Who will you be with?
Mostly the
leedsfurs, and my European/American friends I don't get to see often
Who are you rooming with?
strayjim
Will you tell me your room-number and can I surprise visit you?
Depends entirely who you are
What is the best way to contact you at the con?
Either via Twitter (@TaneliGepardi) or Telegram (@gepardipoju) - both are dependent on how much mobile internet I get though
How can I find you at the con?
Look for the fat (and most likely drunk) Brit making stupid jokes, usually around the bar area(s)
What suit(s) will you have?
None .______.
Can I dance with you?
Most likely won't be dancing, but you can try if you like :P
Can I touch you?
You will be physically able to touch me, whether you will be allowed to or not remains to be seen
Can I talk to you?
Most certainly!
Can I hug you?
Provided I'm ok with it, sure!
Can I take photos of you/with you?
I have no idea why you'd want to do this but ok!
Can I buy you lots of drinks?
You can't afford me :D
Do you do art?
Hahahahahaha no
Do you drink Alcohol/Smoke?
I do both of these things!
Can I give you lots of money?
Has this ever actually happened? I would say yes but it'll be in weird foreign Euros D:
Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Hug, yes. Snuggle, probably not.
Can we hang out?
Of course!
Are you nice?
Nope, total bastard :D
Where will you be most of the time during the con?
Can't say for sure at this stage, though it's likely I'll either be in one of four places.
1) in bed
2) in the shower
3) in the bar
4) in a restaurant
Can I come to dinner with you?
I don't see why not, especially if you speak German since then I don't look like a tourist :D
Last time/last con/last meet/last chat we talked so much and now you forgot my name? Why???
If we spoke or hung out a lot then I won't have forgotten you! Though in the unlikely event that I have, just show me your conbadge/fursona and I'll most likely know you!
Attending any events?
Probably not, I'm never one for events generally. I'm there for the social aspect
Other cons you may go to?
None this year. Possibly Gdakon 2016 though depending when it is.
Can I ask you a personal question about the con?
Sure!

Level 27 reached!
Posted 11 years agoYep, it's that time of year again where I level up! This year, my birthday happened to coincide with the Leeds furmeet which I attend, which made for lots of fun and sometimes embarrassing moments!
Huge thanks to arcais for the pressie, cake, and getting the entire bar to sing happy birthday to a cheetah grinning sheepishly in the corner! It was awesome <3
Needless to say, I drank rather a lot. This is despite the bar not having two of the drinks I originally asked for despite them being in the menu, but lupestripe and skawinski kept on providing me with booze that was available, so yay! :D
But yep, another year older, and 30 is looking worryingly close now! Eeep!

Q & A avec voix, round 2!
Posted 11 years agoOk, since I had much fun with the last lot I've decided to have another go! :D
Same rules as before:
"People can leave questions in the comments below and I'll do a session where I answer the questions with voice. This isn't like TMI Tuesday so don't feel like you have to ask a TMI question, though you may ask one if you wish. Anything you've ever wanted to know about me, just ask it. If you don't wanna ask me a question in the comments you can note me with it. I'll make a response recording as and when I have enough questions to warrant making a recording. I'm also posting this to both my Twitter accounts so hopefully I'll get at least some questions! XD
So yeah, ask away! :3"

Level 26 reached!
Posted 12 years agoYep, it's that time of the year again where my age goes up by 1. 25 felt still kinda young and that was cool, but 26 feels more serious. Maybe because now I'm closer to 30 than 20, I dunno. I don't -feel- any different, but 26 is still a scarier age somehow, ah well.
Thanks to everyone who already wished me a happy birthday, it's been a good day so far :3 Got the complete first seasons of the Netflix original House of Cards on DVD to veg in front of so all will be well with me for a while :P

It's unlikely I will be pissed off at a con, but if I am I'll just hide in my room until I feel better. So if you see me wandering around it's a safe bet I'm feeling fine!
Are you nice?
I like to think I am, I always try to be anyway :)
Cliquey?
I try not to be, but I don't think being completely un-cliquey is possible - you can't hang out with everybody all at once!
How tall?
5'10 (1.78m)
Can I Take pictures of you?
I'm not entirely sure why you'd want to do that but sure, so long as you link me to them if you upload them
Will you get anything commissioned?
I always used to answer yes, but seeing as how I have a fear of approaching artists and asking for stuff during the con I actually don't know XD
How can I get your attention?
Shout my name, tweet/text me, or just approach me
Can I ask you to dance at the raves?
It's unlikely I'll get drunk enough to rave, but if I am there then feel free to ask!

20 facts about me
Posted 12 years agoSo this has been going around for a day or two, so I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon. It's pretty straightforward, just post twenty facts about yourself, so here are mine:
1. I am a bipolar sufferer, as a result I am often prone to bouts of anger/depression which often put people off me.
2. I used to study piano, and passed Grade 1 with distinction in 2000. I quit learning shortly after, however.
3. I had to deal with the suicide of my then boyfriend at the age of 18, and have had trouble trusting people pursuing me for dating purposes ever since.
4. I have never owned nor even tried on a fursuit, I have only ever tried on a couple of heads.
5. I have never been penetrated, my only sexual encounters have been either mutual pawing or receiving oral. The idea of sex terrifies me.
6. Despite my number of kinks and my openness to talk about them, I have actually experienced very few of them in real life.
7. I came out to my parents as both gay and atheist when I was 19; they were more disappointed that I was atheist.
8. I have had my driving licence for 8 years and 2 months, I passed my test first time when I was 17.
9. Despite many people thinking I’m Finnish (due to my usernames), I am actually British and just have an obsession with Finland.
10. I have a terrible intolerance to hot weather, I have always preferred colder climates.
11. I have had psoriasis on both my knees for as long as I can remember, nothing will shift it.
12. My fursona is a cheetah , not because I’m athletic but because they’re shy and timid yet sociable, much like myself.
13. I like to make people laugh, and I am told that both my impressions and sense of humour are successful in doing so.
14. I was once roofied in a nightclub, and to this day have no recollection as to what happened other than being hit in the face and losing my glasses.
15. I am an avid aviation enthusiast, and even took a college course in aviation in 2006.
16. I have an obsession with foreign languages, and can make myself understood in nearly 10 different languages. My favourite is Finnish, of course.
17. When I came out as gay to my dad, I was originally planning to come out as furry. Although in the heat of the moment, the wrong words fell out.
18. Despite being nearly 26, I still live at home. I tried living on my own but only lasted just over 2 years.
19. My first ever furmeet was in March 2007, and it was such a horrible experience I almost never went to another one.
20. Despite identifying myself as gay, I still find myself with a serious weak spot for tomboyish girls.

Q & A avec voix [THE RESPONSES]
Posted 12 years agoThis is a very overdue upload of my responses to the questions I asked people to ask me here. The reason why it has taken me this long is because the file I created was too big to fit on FA, and as I'm not technically minded I sort of lost interest. Then I discovered SoundCloud, so I've uploaded it to there. Again, really sorry for the length of time it's taken for me to upload this, and I'm even more sorry for having such an awful voice :P
So yes, answers can be found here! Enjoy :3

Q & A avec voix
Posted 12 years agoSo I've been contemplating the idea of doing a Q&A session with voice responses, and now I've decided that I will! It's the "in vogue" thing to do it would seem so I'll jump on the bandwagon. People can leave questions in the comments below and I'll do a session where I answer the questions with voice. This isn't like TMI Tuesday so don't feel like you have to ask a TMI question, though you may ask one if you wish. Anything you've ever wanted to know about me, just ask it. If you don't wanna ask me a question in the comments you can note me with it. I'll make a response recording as and when I have enough questions to warrant making a recording. I'm also posting this to both my Twitter accounts so hopefully I'll get at least some questions! XD
So yeah, ask away! :3
(Oh and yes, I do anticipate this being completely ignored! :P)

Gay Marriage
Posted 12 years agoThe House of Commons has passed a bill with a vote of 400 for to 175 against the legalisation of gay marriage. A majority "for" vote of 225! This is fantastic news, and one of those very rare occasions where I feel proud to be British.

Level 25 reached!
Posted 13 years agoYep, I've hit my quarter-century! Scary D:
"Hi! We met at EF... your suit is awesome!"
Posted 13 years agoEF is over, a great time was had and it was most certainly a much needed break. A few days have now passed since the convention and now I'm noticing a trend amongst FA shouts and general messages in particular between people who met each other there. This trend being that the people who received the most comments were/are fursuiters.
Now before anyone starts, I'm not against fursuits, in fact for the most part I'm incredibly fond of the cute fuzzy critters, and fursuit hugs are such wonderful things. That said, it makes me feel somewhat aggrieved at the realisation that in order to get noticed at a con, you must be head-to-toe in fluff. Now I made new friends at EF, or rather, met friends in person whom I'd met online, and that was great! Despite this, though, I notice that quite a lot of fursuiters getting a tonne of attention both at EF and on the interwebs afterward. Why? Underneath all the fluff and cutesy eyes they're just the same as me, a regular human being, why such a difference in interest to meet them? Another thing that somewhat bugs me is how it's almost impossible to meet someone you know as a fursuiter out of fursuit at a con unless you're close enough friends with them to both know 1) where their hotel room is, 2) their contact details, and 3) what they look like out of suit. There were quite a few people I'd have loved to meet out of suit at EF, yet because I knew none of the three things mentioned above, I went home not having met them, which makes me rather sad.
Of course I know the answer to that question, as do most others, but I do sometimes worry about how shallow a lot of furries come across when it comes to situations like this. People spoke to me at EF like I was just a regular guy, which I am, I'm nothing special. Yet at the same time, neither is the person wearing Mr Wufflepants (made up name by the way, just in case anyone wondered if I was referencing a real person), yet he's strutting around at a convention and suddenly everyone's nursing a semi whilst exclaiming "Aieeee that suit is adorable! I have to go talk to him!" And it just makes me wonder if my own motto of "you don't need a fursuit to be accepted into the fandom" is actually true or not. From the evidence I saw at EF (and indeed at previous furmeets and conventions), I would say that actually, you do need one.
Once again, this is NOT intended as a rant against fursuiters. Seriously, the way you guys entertain both furries and the general public alike is truly magnificent. I just feel that maybe quite a lot of furries nowadays are seeing fursuits as either a key to popularity, or worse, a criteria for friendship, both with and as a fursuiter. Which, obviously, is not a good thing.

IMs
Posted 13 years agoI've come to the realisation that I don't talk to nearly enough people on instant messengers, so I figured it was time to change that. Until just now, my information was classed as "ask me" but I've decided to make them known so that people can just add me :3 Just let me know who you are and where I might know you from, I'm a very easily confused cheetah :P
They're on my main page but to save y'all looking, I'll post them below too in order of preference:
MSN: gepardipoju[at]gmail.com
AIM: taneligepardi
