Hello, everyone! So, it has certainly been a long while since I did a journal. I admit I have not been very vocal, I'm not a very social person online. Plus, I am scared of what people will think of me, if they do get to know me. But the main thing on why I haven't been very social, is because after my journal telling about my (at the time) upcoming trip to Canada, I had a little sad period, but that is in the past now.

So, I want to now make a list of things that I am going to be doing this year. Because I am tired of feeling like a failure, for not being able to live independently. And the main reason for that, is because I am a reckless spender, like I do not think about my spending habits, I just SPEND, SPEND, SPEND, and not even think about saving up to finally move out. x.x Well, last year, I started chatting with someone, and I have been sending them money to help them out. Well, my parents noticed that I was dumping money out of my bank account, and I did not want to listen to them. Well, it all finally came to bite me in the "padded" butt. I got an overdraft, and I was SOOOO scared. Like, I thought I was literally gonna go to jail for that! D: But thankfully, my paycheck managed to come through and get me out of it. I was terrified, and that set off a chain of events in my mind. I think that was the point, where reality decided to b*tch slap me and say, "This is why, you are stuck here! You cannot control your spending, so you cannot move out! When are you gonna start learning to be more responsible?" And I immediately began to just work and not spend any money, just to get my bank account back up. I didn't want my parents to find out, but I had to because I didn't know what an overdraft was. Needless to say, they were furious. I've had about six months to think about this, and I want to change that. So, this year, I am going to finally get my bank account back up to where I was before this all went down, and then work on moving out. I'm also gonna look into finding other jobs, that pay more.

On another note, I am thinking about finally going to get professionally diagnosed for my Autism, see where I land on the spectrum. Because, I want to know, what is it, and do I meet the criteria. Someone did say, I might have PDD (Pervasive Development Disorder). I want to know for sure, because I want to finally figure out what's wrong with me. Why do I stutter, when I get frustrated? Why did it start when I was a three-years old? So yeah, I want to get this checked out, so I can finally learn to accept it, and hopefully myself in the process. Only when I do that, will I be able to move forward in life. It's a part of me, but I won't let it define me, because that is not my entire identity. That is what I like to call, a footnote in my book.

On the plus side, one thing that I am definitely planning on, is going to go see my babyfur bro who I have known ever since I showed up here,  babysilverwolf24 Hopefully, that will happen in October or November, for a con around that time. I want to finally see him IRL, so I can say that I've met everyone I've been friends with online. Also, I am planning on a trip to Japan next year. It's on my bucket list, and I will make it happen. I just need to learn Japanese in order to get around Tokyo. Because, I wanted to go to Osaka and Hiroshima, but if I don't speak the language, that's not gonna be possible. ^^;

To make a long story short, I am making some serious changes in my life, starting now. I just hope and pray, that the Lord God Almighty, can help me along this journey. Thank you all for listening, I hope I didn't bore you, and I will hopefully see you all in the near future. Bye for now, and have a blessed day!

Hey everyone, just thought I'd let you know that this pup has turned 3.6 today! X3

Catch ya later!!

*sigh* I feel that FA is just slowly dying, by this point. I really don't want to move anywhere else, but if someone has any suggestions for other websites, I'm all ears. I'm still staying on here, unless they delete my account. I honestly don't feel like my account's in trouble, but just to be sure, I'm probably gonna have to delete a couple of submissions, that I think people are gonna have the wrong impressions about. I hate to, but oh well, it is what it is.

So, been a while since I posted a journal. Hi everyone, hopefully you are all doing well. I just wanted to let you all know, that I am going on vacation for a week, starting on Tuesday. I'm flying all the way up to Canada (British Columbia, to be exact) to visit a buddy of mine, who helped me out during a very trying time in my life. I am forever grateful to him; for what he and the Lord have done in my life. They have been a blessing. My flight leaves at noon on Tuesday, and I'll be back home the following Tuesday around 8 PM. I don't know if I'll be online or not, we'll just have to see. May I ask, for everyone to pray for me to have safe travels? I love you all, my family in Christ.

Chris

Okay, so I was watching videos on YouTube and I came across this video of an anime with a cute fox looking for a human girl. I don't know the name of it, so I'm asking on here. Does anybody know the name of the anime in the video?

My grandmother on my mom's side passed away last night, she was 91. Now, before anyone asks, it was natural causes. May I please ask everyone to keep my family and her in your thoughts and prayers?

Hey all, I know it's been like a long while since I've ever done one of these, but I just discovered this Japanese rock band called Man with A Mission. And wow...these guys are awesome! And the best part, is that they all wear wolf masks! X3

Here's a few of their music videos:

So,  _Chesta and her family are going through a rough ordeal. Her mother has cancer, and she just starting chemo. If you can please follow the link provided to her journal for more information.

Also,  _babysilverwolf24 and his family are also going through some troubles. His health has not been too good lately, and they got hit with a financial crisis, so please send your thoughts and prayers to these two furs. I know, that they would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Have a blessed day.

Hey all, I'm back (been back for months now) and I have a question. Are there any babyfurs going to FA United? I am going because I am meeting up with a dear friend who I have known for years  babysilverwolf24 for the first time. Thank you!

Hey everyone, I think I'm gonna be taking a break from being online for a while (I don't know how long it'll be though). I just feel that I need to just get off of the internet. So, I'm gonna be disabling my account on here and probably deactivating my Twitter account as well. This is just something that I think I need to do. So without further ado, I will see you all in the future.

Hey everyone, I just picked up a copy of Jump Force on PS4 yesterday. Does anybody else own it? If so, wanna play online with me?

My PS Online name is GamerShu27

Same as my Nintendo Online name

Just wanted to wish everyone here a very safe, and merry Christmas as well as a Happy New Year!! I love you all.

She was 93 years old. I love you Mamaw, I hope you're in heaven with Papaw. I am thankful that I got to spend Thanksgiving with her one last time.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and I mean that wholeheartedly.

Hey all, I wanted to plug Myoti's journal, he's needing help so would you please help him out?

I know I normally don't say this much, but thank you to everyone for all of the watches and the favs! You all have a blessed week! ^^

Hey everyone, on August 3rd (tomorrow of the day this journal is made) this puppy turns 3.1! Just thought I'd let you all know, have a good night and a blessed day tomorrow! ^_^

Hey everyone, so TFF was a great success and a lot of fun! ^^ Now, here's something I've been keeping to myself. I am in the middle of creating a new fursona. Now before anyone asks, I am NOT getting rid of my current one. This new fursona will be geared more towards my adult side, kinda like  BabyStar did. I'll have more updates to come as I make more progress in the making of this new sona. Anyway, that's all I have for now. Take care everyone!! ^^

Hey guys, I just fixed dinner for the first time (for those wondering, I fixed chilli). I feel pretty good about myself, so much so that I should do it some more. :3

Hey guys, just wanted to showcase a little video I watched regarding the Switch and Mr. Satoru Iwata. Enjoy!

I apologize for my behavior in that last journal. I know that is not saying much and I agree that it isn't much, but I have family issues and they get out of hand quite often. I just want our household to get along better, no conflicts of any sort.

Why do I have a brother who has to hate all white people? I hate the way he treats our parents like shit all because he doesn't agree with their beliefs. That doesn't give him an excuse to treat them like that, when they don't treat him the same. I couldn't give two FUCKS about what he believes!! I just want there to be peace in the house, is that too much to ask? Sometimes I just want to kill myself just so I don't have to listen to all the fighting. I HATE conflict!!! Why can't anybody ever get along in this house, or this country for that matter?

I am neutral on almost everything, that's pretty much why I don't agree with both sides of the argument. And since I'm on the soapbox, I voted third-party in the election because I detested both candidates. I hate how everyone is just constantly getting into fights over "LITTLE" things. If anything, I'm really starting to see this country fall backwards to the Vietnam War, or worse the Civil War. If we're all gonna hate each other, than why don't we just kill ourselves already and get it over with? I mean, we're all going to Hell anyway.

The whole reason I am saying all this is because, I have a deep hatred for humanity as a whole. I hate how we all start wars and shed unnecessary blood. I just wish that humanity was wiped out of existence, so there would be no more violence and no more wars. This world, no this universe is better off without us. There, now I've put my feelings out there.

So today, as I was driving home from work, I was listening to the radio and the DJ came on after a song played and told a little story she read about on Twitter. So, this guy on Twitter, tweeted a message saying "Women who cook 'Hamburger Helper' are not wife-material."

Well, you can probably guess that Hamburger Helper themselves might catch wind of this, and they did surprisingly. They read his message, and they actually replied back to him saying, "And this makes you husband-material"? XDDDDDDDDDDD

Just wanted to tell you all that little funny story. :3 Have a nice day!
