ME TOOO! :U

I hope by now everyone has made it hope safe n' sound and that they wholeheartedly enjoyed Eurofurence as much as i did! <3

So many new furs to meet. So many old ones to hug so much booze to drink. I hope to see you all next year or even at NFC!
But with all this fun. I knew something bad was around the corner. Balance in the universe and all that. L:)
And i was fortunate enough to get to know alot of people i've wanted to get aquainted with so that was awesome!


NEXT STOP: TEGEL AIRPORT
So i get into the cab heading to the airport along with a Swedish friend and two newly aquainted furs from the UK. Absolutely amazing duo!
A very pleasant trip without problems. We get dropped off and as i'm checking in the cashier asks me to pay 60 euro extra for the bag. I shake my head and say there's no way as i'm 101% sure i went with SAS GO in order to NOT have to pay that.
She reads over my booking and apparently there's a double booking in my name and that my current flight is not properly booked and that my 'actual' booking was 9 hours prior. (yes.. dafuq.)

So we call the manager and she calls her coworker over and we try and fix this problem and they shrug "tough fucking luck there mate!" pretty much. Go and buy another ticket.. "BUT.. you can't do that here. You have to go to the other place... in 7 minutes."
So here i'am with my EDS and my already strained legs after a week of convention-walking and i have to basically run back and forth twice. Burning my joints to shit. Pay 130~ Euros for a damn ticket that was already paid for. (first of 3 flights mind you. But i figure... Hey.. The other two must be alright. Must be a Berlin error.)

NEXT STOP: COPENHAGEN

So i land in Denmark just as all the ticket-purchasing places close in Copenhagen so i'm unable to book a ticket right away. "okay this sucks.. But nothing i can do.." I get myself a free wifi card (only good thing about that airport i swear...) and sit down at what is the start of 'THE BUILDING THAT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT COMFORT IS.' Seriously- The benches are made out of thin ass, striped metal.
and start researching what could have gone wrong with the tickets in the first place. (and why denmark is on a crusade to murder all butts.) I wander around a bit to find a place to charge my phone and i try six (SIX - 6!!) outlets and none of them work. I finally give up and hand it over to the 7/11 store and have them charge it. (for free thank god.) And i take a 5hr nap.)

When i wake up at 05:30 (was told that the ticket purchasing place opens at 06:00) i quickly make my way over there to get my ticket asap so i can make it with the early early flight at 06:35 or something like that.)
And to my suprise its open at 05:50 (or whenever i get there.) at wich i say "oh i'm lucky you are open early" and they smile and respond "05:10 every day." ... Wat.
I'm going to buy the ticket and my card gets declined due to lack of funds (never ever had to buy another ticket.. LET ALONE TWO IN ONE NIGHT.) so i was not prepared for that. I poke my family to help me out at wich they instantly do after a small delay. (but due to the bank it's like 30 minutes too late to purchase and board. Atleast with the luggage.) So i'm stuck at the airport for another 5 hours.

Queue the next adventure
SURVIVAL AT COPENHAGEN

I sit down and try and figure out what to do and an older /russian/ guy aproaches me with a paper in Russian. I manage to understand a bit of it (atleast able to read the city names etc.) "Where go - Helsinki." - Do i really look THAT russian? :D
*Random people* :U (Inb4 people asking if i was wearing the uniform.)

And for the 3rd time in my Danish nightmare my cell is losing power once again. (50% bad cellphone. 50% low power outlets. :U Rahhh.)
So i ask around and i find this AWESOME spot with a table. Nice seating and an outlet at the same place...
Problem is that i have to do it 'Statue of liberty' style if i want the WIFI too.) Holding the phone up like a tard.
OH WELL.. beggars can't be choosers so i opt for survival. XD
After a while MY batteries run out and i lay down for a while. (the seat is kinda short so my legs are sticking out.) and i lay there for a 5ish minutes. Stretching out my back. 20 seconds after i sit up. A big ass- Super blast door alá Movie-grade closes where i had my legs.
Almost crushing my legs. (atleast breaking them. :I )
I ask the security that comes casually walking over there with a rather curious/annoyed/wtf stare "Y u do dis." and they simply shrug and smile comforting "Oh.. Electrical glitch." Oh... Well that makes it just fine then.

So i figured i'd go and take a toilet break before i head towards the gate and in the three bathrooms there was no light so i had to use the sunlight. Alright no problem! ... And then there's no water.
Well thank you Copenhagen. :u


NEXT STOP: STOCKHOLM

I get to Stockholm - No problem no problem no problem.

NEXT STOP: HOME
Its a fully booked flight. And as i'm one of the first to get in i naturally put my bag up in the overhead compartment as i always do.. But apparently its not okay for my backpack to be up there when the random person with a (i'm not an expert: But WAY too large to be a carry on.) huge bag can't fit their shit up there. So the stewardess takes my backpack and CRAMS it in somewhere else.. But not before turning it upside down so my shit in the non-sealable pockets fall out. "THAT IS CALLED GRAVITY!" and she doesn't even bother picking the shit up. "EXCUSE ME - I have fragile stuff in there!!" "oh.. you want to maybe put it under your seat" ... I don't even.

During the flight i'm unable to depreasurize. Meanwhile i was fortunate not to blow my eardrums. I couldn't hear shit for the longest time. (its almost 24hrs since i got home and i still got a 50% ish reduction on my left ear)

Anyway~ i finally got home after around 20+ hrs and 400euro in total of unexpected expendature.

Either way: Eurofurence and awesome furs made it all worth it. <3
I'll be back next year... By car.

I slept for 14hrs once i actually fell asleep in my own bed. Got up and had a snack and slept for 4 more...




In order to pay back my flight loan to my family i'll be streaming my ass off(as i always do! <3 ) So if you want to help out: you can always stop on by and say hello! :>

Link to my past thank you journal - Never forget.
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7334747/

The past week had me focused on FA alot more than usual.
Normally FA is my way to connect with the furry world on a daily basis and i do so through art. I absolutely love the fur-community for various reasons but the main one is just that: Art. Even if i don't have the economy to commission stuff myself it does warm my heart and stir my creative mind when i see all the amazing things furries create when i browse my favorite artists.

Then this week started and i was lucky enough to win a free raffle by a well-known animator. An absolutely amazing break for me that was on a rather horrible streak of bad things happening one after another. But for reasons i'm not allowed to discuss here i was not given the prize: To get one of my pictures animated.
This in turn made me create my first journal questioning this fact in a rather proper manner as i did not agree with this nor what the Administration had to say about it.
This created a snowball effect and the absolutely insane ammount of support and gifts i got from the community was staggering. <3
Wether it was to cheer me upp. Not back down or some other reason i don't know or can mention here. Whatever it was i'm absolutely grateful and it was one heck of a positive boost of energy that i needed.

I never even asked for help or support it simply just appeared. I made the joke of a 'wolfpack mentality' wich is starting to feel pretty accurate. When one individual in the community gets mistreated... Out of nowhere the rest of the pack appears!
But let's get down to why i made this journal.

I'm someone that think proper credit and show of appreciation should be given where its due and if i can redirect even a small ammount of people reading this journal to the various artists that sent me art during this ordeal it'd make me very very happy!
As i already knew but what became more apparent than ever this week: For artists in the furry fandom PR is everything. Hopefully this will put the generosity and talent of this set of furs into the spotlight!

First and foremost the animators that took their time to animate the absolutely amazing piece that was originally submitted during the raffle aswell as one that was made from scratch with a theme i got to pick myself!
These really did stump me; Several times over i just sat there staring at them. <3

Thank you all for putting super positive spin on an otherwise negative experience. You guys rock! <3


===================

I will edit and add more artists and give credit as something new popps up all the time. ^____^;
If you've seen any that is not on the list please note me so i can add them aswell!
And if you know any of the Anons (or if you are one.) please note me if you want your name to be added.)

NO DRAMA IN THIS JOURNAL - Let's pay attention to GOOD, KIND, GENEROUS artists, animators and furs in general that make our community truly special.

Alright let's play this by the books and put all the cards on the table.
I personally haven't broken a single rule or CoC so far.
I haven't done anything to deserve my journals get removed but two of them have been within 24hrs.
(however i do understand the reasoning behind journal #1 getting removed.)


"Whether or not you said his name or he outed himself is irrelevant since it involves a personal quarrel and it was reported."
- Director #1

"I have reviewed the journal and while you did not mention any names in the original post it was quickly pointed out that this was about Jason and turned into a harassment journal " - Director #2

"While you may not have written the harassing comments you are still in charge and in control of your journals..." - Director #2

"We cannot possibly monitor every user and their content." (But you know.. I'am supposed to.)
- Shivadramon (Publicly wrote this and not in the ticket hence why i'm using the name.)

"Even though it may not have been your intent that is what it has turned into."
- Director #2

"It is okay to discuss experiences on FA and the original journal would have been fine if it was kept in line about callouts."
- Director #2
(If this also gets removed. I'll be posting the administation conversation online.)

Yes. The first journal escalated and i accept the fact it was removed. The second one was kept in order yet it was removed for no reason.
The second one was rather proper and straight forward. ALOT of the posts had something worthwhile to say.
but they removed it for no reason instead of removing the few bad comments that i had missed as i was trying to do just that in order to keep the journal up. (OBEYING THE RULES.)

I started with a journal dissapointed that i got mistreated. Now i start my third one for the very same reason...
Let's not feed the flame and get this journal locked aswell and talk about how its absurd things get censored on a whim and i get my properly written posts removed.

This journal will not tolerate namecalling of any sort. Please don't make me hide the comments as this is the very thing i have a problem with
We're all adults here(i hope) so let's discuss this constructively and properly.
Why the censoring of an important issue that is growing too big for a single journal. (Or three!)

The problem with this type of censoring is that i voice my concern and i get silenced. For no reason.
If people are using names or causing a problem/violating the CoC that is not something that you should bring up with me. Bring it up with the people causing the problem.

I hope i phrased everything properly as i had to rewrite this several times.

A mere two days ago i made a rather depressing post and meanwhile the things that bothered me then; Still do. There are alot of things that cheered me up quite alot. The friendly gestures of friends and so on.

But the big big thing here that came out of the blue and what i jokingly called 'Winning the furry superbowl.' is the fact i won a commission from  Jasonafex (1 in oh... you know 1300.) So finally the odds finally shone upon me in favor! :D
(Definetly check him &  Kabier out)

Woop woop! *ADRENALINE.* *PANT* *ADRENALINE*
I quite litterally stumbled over this. <3 :D

Every person goes through hardships everynow and then through his/her life and this is definetly one of them for me.
I'm not a person to post on facebook or blog about a problem or two.. or five.. or ten.. But after they all start to stack up over the course of a single week even i got worn down and felt i had to talk to someone about it.

Alas... Everyone is offline and because there are none in the vacinity i figured i'd write somehing here to either vent or gather my thoughts.
Hell i don't know what i'm writing here. The words just come as i press the buttons so prepare for random rant and/or stuff that won't make sense. This is something i write for my own sake afterall.


I'm usually a positive person(despite what people might think.) and i usually have a positive outlook on things and i can go "atleast i have that going for me." or something in that line. But now i kinda feel like i'm surrounded by misfortune & everything falling apart around me.
I'd love to see how it's even possible for so many; absolutely unrelated things to go wrong in the same week.
I actually tried to make a short list of the positive/good things in my life now just to see what's going on... And i just didn't get anywhere... I suppose the one(or two) thing(s) is that there's alot of tv-shows starting over soon & there's a game i've been waiting ages for about to be released but that's about it.)
The entertainer and wellwisher in me just keeps a straight face and want everyone to be happy so that's what i'll keep on doing. Things are actually going so bad i actually think (you know: Odds wise) that there's an upswing around the corner.


/WhinyVal. Tsk tsk tsk.





I was going to remove this(or rather not post it to begin with) but i figured i'll keep it so i can look back at it in a few months or so to reflect on when shit hits the fan... Things get better etc etc etc yadda yadda yadda. ^___^;

So it's my birthday in just a few hours and in celebration i'll be doing a 20(or more!) hour birthday stream on twitch.
http://www.twitch.tv/validuzz
Make sure to stop on by and say hello and what'not but not only will you bring a smile to my face in doing so. You'll have a chance of winning a game during my mid-stream giveaway!

As to what i'll be streaming? Company of Heroes 2 & War Thunder mostly but as i'll be playing for some time i'm not too sure. I'll be switching games every few hours or so. Don't like the game? Swing on by at a later time! ;)

I hope to see you there! :)

Alright so i'm still recovering from this years Eurofurence and my god do i have alot of amazing memmories!
I can't even list the individual awesomeness or persons as i'd be here all freakin' day & night for that matter... <3

I've started to drift further away from hollidays and my birthday as the one time a year where i can feel awesome and on top of the world. Cons are without a doubt where i go to meet with my family and feel special. A place where i feel at peace and at home.

A: This will be my Fourth! Wow. They sure rack up quickly don't thtey? :)

Q: Do you own a fursuit?
A: :C No... Not yet... /le'sigh.

PERMISSIONS:

Q: Can I hug or snuggle with you?
A: As with any fursuiter. Do the arm-check thingy. I'm iffy on hugs. But if you're tiny and cute / female. Then just go for it. ^_^

Q: How can I find you?
A: I'm always around! You can find me if you want to. Trust me! ^^

Q: Can I buy you drinks?
A: Fuck yes. So many drinks. Any drink! ^^

Q: Can I look in your sketchbook?
A: Absolutely. Just ask! ^_^

Q: Can I take your picture?
A: Awwyeah. Many do. Dat beard. ;D

Q: Do you do do free art, trades, commissions, badges?
A: Uhhh.... Sure. If that is truly wish /me/ to draw it. xD As per an art-trade. I'd be honored. ^^

A: *Snickers* How about no? xD

Q: Do you plan to volunteer?
A: Nope~ I used to work at Dreamhack. But i'm not too much of a fan to pay a hefty sum to go to a place and WORK. Taking away alot of the joy of actually being there aswell.

Q: What's your goal for the con this year?
A: Actually this will be my first con to not have a goal! So my goal is not to have a goal. Just enjoy and have fun! Woop woop.

See you guys there! <3

So i decided to start streaming! And what better game to stream than War Thunder. A WW2 focused arcade-sim like no other.
Its tons of fun to play and to watch in my experience. I hope i can pull off something that some of you can enjoy.
I'am one of the best WT players afterall.
And whats more? This is my very first stream. So pop in and say hi! . . Lets see if i've figured out where to reply before that. ;)

http://www.twitch.tv/validuzz

Got the ears i ordered from Clockwork Creatures. (Alas. Not custom ones but from their artshop. ^_^)

Super awesome. Super fluffy. : >




... That is all!
(expect picture in the future.)

On the 14th i had some issues with steam and i requested some help from the support. I haven't gotten help yet...
14-23. That's 9 days without 99% of my games due to support being a tard.

Its one thing to be without my games but alot of my friends are on there. I've missed out on 2 (at the time: Free) planes in WarThunder due to this aswell. And the pre-order discount of a game i wanted. Tiny sums that adds up to steam not letting me get on.

And the biggest grief was that i've wanted to play with a gamer-friend of mine that's been super busy for the longest time. The first weekend he has free this year and that we set aside for some GTA 5 was completely wasted...

BAH! Steam. Get your shit together. -_-;



*Curls up and waits for time to move faster.*
This is one of those time i really wish i could draw so i had something to do.

... When the parents are informed of the hobby/lifestyle.


Apparently my mother has been watching Dr.Phil and calls me going 'Do you know what furries are.'

I'm brushing my teeth and simply shrugs as i don't know if i can bother to go into stuff...
She keeps going on with how she saw some chick(it was a dude) in a dog costume. (wich was made out of paper... Fuck you media.) and said how hillarious the furryfandom it was.

I simply shrug again and go "So.. You never made any connections between that and the wolf-suit i'm getting? Nor the art i got."

*quiet*

"Yeah- I'm a fur. But what you've seen is some twisted crap media has made."

*quiet and nods*

Then the questions began...

---

I've always wondered what it'd be like to bring completely clueless outsiders in and explain it. Shit is weird. 'Nuff said.
I started by showing her pictures to more well made suits from Clockwork and the like... They scared her (My mother is scared of everything.) as they seemed like monsters.
Then i showed her Templa-made stuff. She liked those alot more.

... I don't think it helped that i know almost all the suits by name. I felt like a kid with a pokémon-card deck presenting them for my parents.. And i'm like 12.


Overall: She thinks the furry fandom is weird as shit. But she's okay with it.
Not that it matters in the end; But parental approval is always apreciated and makes life easier. :)

God i love being a Furry. With its ups and downs of weird and weirder.

I got home about an hour ago. 23:00... I live in Sweden and some people living in the UK got home faster!
Absolutely horrible end to a wonderfull weekend.

I have never ever been hungover. I drink alot but i just never get hungover... But i guess if you combine concrud. Not eating and several days of moving around like crazy... Even i have my limits.
Then i had to say goodbye to all of you wonderfull people. Bums me the fuck out!

And the cherry ontop of this horrible ending is that i had to stay at the airport for like 8hours. Whooptie freakin' doo.

ENOUGH WITH THE COMPLAINTS!

Had an absolutely amazing time with each and every one of you. Furries are the most awesome people in the world. <3
And damn you all for being so generous! :'D For various reasons my financial situation got wrecked. But still people got me drinks! Woop woop! . . . A bit too many. ;D
(Was i dancing? I never ever dance... )
 Renabastet FFFfffffffffffff- I know there are like 3 more. Brain y u do dis. Please remind me if you got me a drink. IOU's are important!

Speaking of generosity... I was wearing my paws. My fancysmancy suit and i saw that EZwolf had some delicious chips. I pawed at him and moved my claws together to signal that i just wanted a single chip. He then proceeds to grab a handfull and shove ém into my mouth.
Y u do dis. xD  EZWolf

And a super big thank you to  Gaikotsu and  RedWard for adding amazing stuff to my coin & money collection. I find it rather sad but funny that my foreign and outdated money collection is more valuable than my actual cash right now... (That will hopefully change soon however! Screw you school-system.)
Also.. Everyone should call RedWard "The Candyman" now. His icelandic crack-candy-lollipops were crazy good.
A huge~ Thank you to  Cyanid for commissioning  Mirri with the two of us. Going to be utterly awesome. If you've played Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl you'll defo like it.

... Speaking of Chernobyl A shoutout to the awesome Ukranians that i spent some time with. Going to help me develop my language skills so i can suit my Soviet officer-style fursona properly. ;)
 Belo4ka  Basil_Lion (I actually learnt alot even though i was smashed.. )

DJ's. All of ém were pretty damn awesome. 4/4 of my requested songs were played. Huzzah! Even played the Tetris - History of the soviet union during the big event... So epic.

Sadly i can't remember everything and everyone. Please poke me if you bumped into me at the con and tell me something awesome that i did!
I got high ammounts of ram. But sadly i keep everything in my external harddrive wich is hard to access if you know what i mean. Give me the name of the clip and it will find it right away! ^^

I hope everyone had an absolutely amazing time at the con. We all made this to what it was. We are all part of a giant awesome machine of awesomeness. F-yeah.

[Removing Mushymushy filter.]

Now~. The best for last. My pet  Gaikotsu you adorable little wolf-dog. Thank you for being you. You're the most adorable thing i have ever seen in my life. Everything from how you say/pronounce things to your eyes. *glee* So freaking adorable all around. *Noseboop*
You made an amazing con even better.

And for those that missed her suiting and speaking only Japanese... Yeah i'm sorry. But you missed something! Next con i'll get her to work a little bit less so she can suit more.

See you guys there! <3

Follow me on twitter Validuz_

Cuz.. Why not. Its me afterall. ;)
I'm sure i'll post some funny & slightly offensive stuff. <3

I've been in the furry fandom for quite some time. Altough i've been mostly lurking in the shadows. ;D
But i've been on FA & talked with furs for a bit more than a year now and i've noticed something...

The furry fandom is absolutely epic. I'm compelled to check FA a couple of times a day with nothing special in mind. Pretty much to get a daily dosage of the fandom.
The art and the suits. All of it. The wonders of creativity and friendship. ^^;


Me and my fur-bro  TailWhiteFur are already spazzing out over Eurofurence and that's like 6 months away.

I'm trying to add my own creativity to the fandom but sadly my art-progress isnt going forward. D;
In my last journal i basically asked if people were intrested in me posting some shitty art but hey.. Why post shitty stuff when you can post great stuff. ;D

However its not art~ My mind has been working quite alot during the past few weeks with my novel so i'm making some progress there atleast. ^^;

So two questions to the handfull of people that might read this.
1. How do ya'll feel about the fandom? Is it super important to ya'll aswell? :>
2. How would you feel about a novel that has its focus set during an alternate reality-WorldWar2. Following a squad of anthropomorphic soldiers. Fighting with and against their creators. Against eachother and just trying to find their place in the midst of the bloodiest conflict the world has ever seen.

A focus on:
Fake history. (Idéas sprouted out from my own mind of military history. With alot of 'what if' scenarios.)
Occult themes. (Paranormal & Demonic Nazi forces.)
Light Superpowers. (With a focus on it being kept light. And nothing bizzare like laz0r eyes.)
Oppression & Morality. (They might be super soldiers. But they're still expendable tools & animals in the eyes of Man.)

And just incase you're reading this far. Two gold stars and a hug for you. ;D

Been thinking more and more of drawing. Like properly getting a routine in to draw.

But then comes the question. Wether or not to post it?
Would people be intrested in seeing the progress of my drawing or just... Randomly get it in their submission-inbox-thingy?

Would be nice with constructive comments and whatnot.



I really need to learn how to draw at any rate. x3

Here its falling appart before it even begins. D;

So i wish all of you the best of christmases. ^^ Have a wonderfull day. : >
And as we say in Sweden: God Jul!

Ps. Christmas in Sweden is the 24th. Not the 25th.

So. Its this time of year again. The dreaded Birthday-Christmas combo.
*huff*

I'm one of those people that dont like birthdays. (atleast my own.)
Then there's christmas just around the corner and bleh- Same thing. weird-sitting-around. Odd smiles here and there... And no matter how much time i spend on getting a good gift. Its never really aprechiated. :/
(Or i just suck at finding gifts :D )


So in almost exactly a week. (The 20th) i'll be making smalltalk and feeling a year older. ^^


Hmpf- I really should arrange a Furry-birthday-party. You guys are the one's who knows how to have fun! ;D
Yeep~ Its settled. I'm defo going to have a fur-party next year or something. :D
No fake smiles. Just pure awesomeness.

I just hit 100 Watchers. Altough 8 of them has removed me so its officially 92. Bah! (BWAAAH!) i count it like 100. Cuz' i'm a glass is overly full kind of guy. ;)
