Looking for more friends
Posted 2 years agoIt's really as simple as the title says.
I'm just looking to make more friends within the furry community and to have more people to chat with on the daily.
So feel free to check my contacts and hit me up some time. I'll try to be active and respond when I can.

Seven Years, huh?
Posted 2 years agoHaving read my last journal from around seven years ago I think it's only fair to provide a bullet point list of things that have happened since that last journal, and after a summary of my plans having come back.
•Shortly after that previous journal entry I got the position I wanted
•My then GF, now Ex, moved in with me, my friend and his now wife.
•For a time another friend moved in to help us all with rent and to work with the homeowning friend at our job.
•Eventually additional friend left job, moved out, and moved states for a time. Moved back after a year or so, and returned to my job for a bit.
•Time passes and eventually I propose to my then GF, but relationship sours. She gave an ultimatum: Her or my friends. Chose my friends.
•More time after that I move out of friend's place and back in with my grandma to help care for her.
•After some time of being back with grandma finally feel settled in again, and still working the same job making decent money.
•Things proceed fairly normally for the next few years. Just the typical rise and fall of mental wellbeing dealing with life.
•Fast forward to last year or so: Step-dad assaults my mom, they seperate, the aunt and uncle I grew close to again separate and divorce. I get my step-dad's truck, and my aunt's house in all of the mess going on.
•Dust settles and I meet and begin dating possibly the best person, and they move in with me and we have lived together for the last few months.
Gross summarization of the last seven years, but that's all I care to share publicly. But as for what I'm doing back? I have been watching some videos about the furry Fandom for the last few days, and I recalled this account. I remembered how much I enjoyed making art and want to do that again.
On top of that I'd like to make new friends here if at all possible.

Where have I been?
Posted 9 years agoI know it's been more than a few months since I last did ANYTHING on here. No posts, no journal entries, nada. Well, that's due in part to what's been going on in my life as of late. So this journal to is to explain that to those that are interested in knowing. But before I start here is my KiK for anyone that wants to get in touch with me at any point.
KiK: ThatchSimon
Back in October of last year I had plans with one of my closest friends to move into a place he was planning on buying as soon as he could while I remained in my home town while things got sorted out. But not long after we started getting those plans at the ready and we thought we'd be moving in to the place towards the end of the month. Also during that month I had gotten very stressed out from work being very lacking in hours, and one day when one of the new hires with the keys to the wood shop didn't show up on time, and wanted to bitch about mine and the foreman's attitude towards her that day due to her over sleeping and her having the only available key. As the day went on she kept wanting to boss us around trying to say that we had to things HER way even though I clearly remembered what the Boss wanted us to do for that current project, and I even made it clear what he wanted and told her that she was incorrect. She didn't like that and told us to do as she said. Needless to say we get to the final parts of the project and lo and behold, several parts were incorrectly drilled for holes they didn't need and too many parts that were too short for what they were intended for. So that topped off with the already existing stress I blew up on her, and told her that after that fuck up we may as well shut down the shop for the day because there wasn't anything we could do without going back to square one and having to start the multiple day process over again. She took this opportunity to try and say that I had no authority to do so even though the foreman agreed with me, and said that we should close up.
After blowing up I went back home to try and relax. That never happened since when I got home I got a group text from her to myself, the foreman, and the Boss whining on about how she was so stressed out about how she was being treated, and how we weren't being considerate of our Boss and the situation at hand. Even though we both knew full well what was going on, and hadn't said anything or made a deal of it out of respect for our boss. She kept on and on in the text about how she felt so disrespected. At that point I had a serious anxiety attack and broke down. To try and calm myself, as lame as it might sound, I was texting my mom and she offered for me to move in with her for as long as I needed, and that's what I did.
That same day I began packing up all of the belongings that were essential, and that I could pack into my car; packing the car essentially like it was a game of Tetris. During getting all of my stuff into the car I was still quite upset and bawling my eyes out my grandmother who I had been staying with to keep her feeling comfortable saw me and began to get upset since I wouldn't explain what was going on at the time, which in turn upset me further. Once my uncle and aunt showed up they saw this as well, my uncle also being my boss mind you, my aunt forced some money into my pocket even though at the time I wanted nothing to do with either of them. Once I had my car packed, and my nerves calmed down enough I texted my girlfriend to see if she'd be willing to stay with me at my mom's for a week to make sure I didn't do anything stupid, and to help comfort me.
Once I hit the road and had picked her up we ended up getting lost due to me not remembering the way to my mom's house several hours away. Not only did I get lost once, or twice, but three times. We had to get in touch with my stepdad to get him to help us figure out where to go to get to my mom's place. Eventually we did get there and got my things unpacked, and that's where I stayed for about two months.
During the two months or so at my mom's I started applying for a job that the friend I was going to move in with had been trying to get for me, which I ultimately got, and still have these several months later. At that time I had internet, but it was very limited and when I was gone it was gone. So I couldn't really stay in contact that much, or post anything; that's why I haven't posted much of anything in all this time.
After some time of having the new job, and keeping up with my friend we finally found out that we could move into his parent's old place while we waited for our real place to become purchasable. Once we knew we could move in I began packing all of my stuff into my car once again, and had my stepdad help out with the furniture that I couldn't manage to pack into my little car. Needless to say I got my stuff off loaded into the temporary place and had my girlfriend over again to keep me company as we cleaned the place up in preparation for my friend and his girlfriend to move in as well.
Now here it is several months down the road, and my job is finally looking like I'll be getting full time hours along with finally having some very important paperwork finally cleared and released to the proper channels for review to allow me to do more with my job. It even looks like we'll be getting our long term home in the new few weeks or so. It'll be some time further down the road before we have any kind of internet connection however so I may not be able to post as often as I'd like to, but I can do as I'm doing now which is sit at the library. I only have a few gigs of phone data, but I would be more than happy to talk to others on KiK so don't be shy, and feel free to chat me up.
Expect more art in the near future every once in awhile. Peace!

Well, damn.
Posted 10 years agoFor the last week or so there's been a kitten of about 8 weeks around my backyard which has been driving the dogs absolutely up the wall, and we (mostly my aunt) have been trying to catch the little bugger so that we can get it to a new home.
WELL GUESS WHAT. She managed to get it into a cage, and we got it to the carport to try and keep it cool, feed it, and give it some water to drink.
And I done fucked it all up. I went out to check and make sure it had water, which it turned out that it didn't. So I untied the jury rigged top to get the water bowl out, and went to go fill it back up. AND I KNOW WHAT YOU MIGHT BE THINKING! It got out while I was filling up the water bowl! Nope. It was still there, but as I opened the lid to put the water down it sprang out of the cage and darted off to what I have to assume was the direction of a neighbor's yard.
Which honestly, it's probably for the best that it not be stuck in a cage for several days even if it is fed and given water. It'll probably find a place to call home now that it's run off towards another house. Which in the time that we had it in the cage I asked all the friends in my local area if they knew of anyone that wanted a kitten and no luck. So yeah.
I'm hot, I've got a headache, and I'm cranky. I'm going to take a nap. The kitten will be fine I'm sure.

I'm about to smack my internet up
Posted 10 years agoOkay, so I know I only have a few watchers and only a few might care at all, but I've been having internet issues since Friday and here's the break down to explain what's going on.
1. My router was disconnected Thursday morning to make room for swapping to a new ISP which would be installed the following day. Which that was kind of expected, and easily bearable.
2. Come Friday the guy doing the installation for [COMPANY NAME REDACTED] was AN HOUR LATE even though the time frame was anywhere from 2pm to 5pm. He showed up at nearly 6pm. Once here he got everything set in place where we wanted, BUT didn't have a working cable box, nor did he have a working remote for it. That was my first flag. Then I get to my room, and I see that I can connect, but I am instantly pushed to Limited if I'm not tempted with about half a minute of internet access and then kicked to Limited status again. THIS is where many, many flags started going up for me.
Well, seeing as I couldn't do anything then and there I just gave up for the night and went about playing more of my games since I couldn't work on any pieces at the time.
3. On Saturday I had to call a friend of mine that had planned on coming over anyway to see if he could come over sooner than expected because I needed help moving my room around after having my old bookshelf nearly fall apart. Which we got a new bookshelf, moved my room around, and seeing that even after the move around that my computer couldn't connect I had to go to the local Wal-Mart to buy a signal extender that was SUPPOSED to remedy the issue of a weak signal. Which ultimately it didn't do.
4. And today (Sunday) we've had nothing but trouble out of the connection. I still couldn't connect, Uncle couldn't connect either, and same for my Aunt. No one could connect. So my Uncle makes a quick call to [COMPANY NAME REDACTED] to see about getting it sorted out quickly until tomorrow when we will have a guy come out to make sure EVERYTHING works before they have to leave for a trip to Texas.
Which means I SHOULD have a connection for at least this next week to do streams, and possibly taking small commission during the week. And I should be getting my own PERSONAL router installed in the near future to make sure that I no longer have any issues with connecting and attending to my own personal business. Y'know what else?
Posted 10 years agoHaving a car again is freaking great.
So, I'm going to actually type a little more than I have been, and this time it isn't asking for views and junk! But, I'd like to first off apologize for the lack of more uploads and what not. Between being depressed, and stressed I just haven't been feeling up to finishing anything lately, but now I should be uploading something at least every other day or so so long as I have the time to work on a piece. So to make up for it I'll be uploading a late stage WIP of Ginger BUT it will be censored! I don't want to give away too much too soon, y'know?
Also, I'm finally starting to think on what my 'fursona' MIGHT be. I'm currently thinking maybe a moogle? Or possibly something of my own design?
Anyway, leave your thoughts and what not below. Tell me what you think.

Posted 10 years agoBeing depressed sucks.
Hear ye, hear ye!
Posted 10 years agoJust haven't posted a new Journal in some time and decided that I'd ask for views like a beggar, and junk. I would really appreciate some new Watchers, and the like since I'm seemingly not having luck with posting at a good time of day for others.
So if anyone has friends that MIGHT enjoy what I do, or would just like to chat me up. I check my stuff here along with other things pretty often.

Looking for Furs to watch and stuff
Posted 10 years agoI'm only watching one person, but I'd like to find other great artists to watch, which is super simple enough. But I'm also looking for artists that often put up adoptables since I'd like to buy a few here and there to help their creators out along with giving me new characters to draw regularly.
I'm broke currently, but once I start getting paid again like I'm supposed to I'll be looking around for them, and possibly some commissions. And on that note I MAY be opening for commissions at some point as well. But that's just a possibility at the moment.
Feel free to leave a comment or a watch, which ever you prefer you lovely furs.

Lookin' around
Posted 10 years agoJust going to be looking around for artists to watch and possibly get to know since that's my favorite way of learning new tips and tricks.
Other than leave a comment or a watch? Honestly, I'm fine either way.
