Relationship Status: Surprise
General | Posted 12 years agoSkotter Fursuit
General | Posted 12 years agoI am going to make a skotter suit some time this year.
Here are my thoughts thus far:
1. It would probably be better and cheaper to start off with a partial. I've already got a tail I like, so I would only need a head and paws. The head is the biggest concern, and the part of the suit I feel like I am least capable of approaching. I could really use some help, especially in person. I would love to learn!
2. I was thinking about a foam and balaclava style head with a static jaw, to keep things simple.
3. I have absolutely no idea what kind of fur would be good for this. Do any of you out there who've made suits have any advice?
I'm not gonna rush this along, and I want to do it right the first time. I've been itching to do this for quite some time now, and now that I have enough funds and my own place... It's time!

Life N Such (Moving to Detroit!)
General | Posted 12 years agoHello all!
Just a general, and brief update on my life.
I'll be moving to Detroit starting on August 17! I'll be there for the dream cruise, and school starts for me on the 22nd! I can't wait to get out of Southwest Michigan, and I am incredibly ridiculously utterly excited to be moving to the bankrupt wasteland that is Detroit. I'm optimistic for the future, and I hope that I can make a decent enough future there. I can't wait to call it home.
I will be attending Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn for a semester to pick up some credits, prior to transferring to Wayne State University studying Mechanical Engineering! Quite a switch from Architecture, that much is for sure. I'm nervous, and I'm sure I will need plenty of help.
I look forward to meeting more Detroit furries, and having my own place for the first time ever! I'm rather scared about it, but I know that everything will work out in the end.

Regarding FCN
General | Posted 12 years agoI'm not going - It's official.
I thought I'd have more money sitting in the bank than I currently do. I just can't reasonably swing the registration, much less the cost of renting floorspace and the gas to Novi. Unless I win the lotto in the next few days, no dice.
Sorry guys.

On Ammunition Shortages
General | Posted 12 years agoIt's pretty much impossible to buy ammunition nowadays.
I'm sitting on:
- 1 spam can of legit 40s production soviet surplus 7.62x54R
- A few boxes of Winchester military run-over 00 Buckshot
- A ton of .22WMR/LR
- Random assortment of 7.62x39mm and 5.56x49mm
- 1 50 round box of Winchester Ranger T-Series +P 9mm
That box of 9mm has to be pretty much priceless by now.
It reminds me a lot of tickle-me-elmo that one christmas season a few years back, it's that bad.
It's still hard to believe that the ammunition companies are having a hard time keeping up with demand, but I can't remember the last time I saw a full ammunition case at Walmart. Hopefully all this brouhaha dies down so I can go to the range guilt free and kill some paper. Nowadays, it's way too expensive and scarce to justify it.

Wanted: Small Bad Dragon Toy
General | Posted 13 years agoWell, this is awkward...
Long story short, I'm looking for a bad dragon toy that's a good fit for a beginner. I'd like to spend less than the $66 it would take to get a small tentacle shipped to my doorstep. If any of you furs have outgrown your toys, I'm interested in providing one of them a new home. Assuming they're clean, of course.
Comment or PM, and I'll consider your offer. I can paypal for currency exchange no problem.

Skotters First Furmeet Followup
General | Posted 13 years agoHey you guys,
Just wanted to let you know that my first furmeet was a RESOUNDING SUCCESS. I was a bit of an awkward skotterpenguin in the beginning, but things seemed to warm up pretty quickly. The big thing that stuck me was that I really want a fursuit. Like, a lot. I was extremely impressed by a lot of the suits that were there, and I want to at least borrow one and go for some kind of trial run some time. That looks fun as hell.
Beyond that, it was awesome to meet some new folks! I'm terrible with names, but I'm sure
Bluedragon407 will straighten me out. All these furry names are hard to keep track of.
Kicking around the mall afterwards with
KiraTora ,
Bluedragon407 ,
CalvinRequin , and
Platero was tons of fun, even the part where I jammed them all in my Subaru.

General | Posted 13 years agoI'm going to my first furmeet in Grand Rapids on Saturday. I'm going to wear a collar and tail, and romp around a zoo... It's gonna be weird, man. I'll totally look like a faggy skotter, but I guess it's for the better. When in Rome, I guess.
Hopefully it'll be fun, and I won't be too freaked out by furries. Those guys are weird.
Hopefully nobody tries to tag me in a photo.

Gallery Cleanup
General | Posted 13 years agoSo, I'm generally annoyed by people who use FA as Flickr. The photos are generally brutalized, and a lot of them aren't even furry related.
Then I realized I'm one of those people.
Since I'm not a big photographer of fame and shit, I'm gonna clean up my gallery. So in case you might have been wondering, that's why most of my gallery is gone.

Roommate
General | Posted 13 years agoMy roommate, who is terrified of me, just did the weirdest thing.
I was taking my pants off to put on my PJs, and in a half asleep state, he told me to "take off your pants more quiet"
The dude is terrified of me, and is stirred by the weirdest things.
Taking off my pants, unzipping a boot, rolling over in bed, or ripping a paper towel off a roll all cause him to stir, or otherwise wake up.
Falling out of a 5 foot loft bed, typing loudly, a bright laptop backlight, and having a sneezing fit? Not so much as a peep.
Fucking weird, man.
