I'm a bit scared.
Posted 15 years agoEveryone seems to be hostile towards me right now. That or ignoring me.
I don't quite think I realized the whole end of my life thing where people suddenly don't let you borrow things and won't talk to you would be this soon.

The Temperature At Which We Burn (READ THIS)
Posted 15 years agoUPDATE: Now the website seems to be attacking my computer with malware. Fuck you, FurAffinity.
I had a very long and meaningful message here about the state of things here on FurAffinity and the admins who run this place, but in order to protect the few fragments of a "meaningful" life I had left I decided to erase all of it and replace it with this. It's called self-censorship. I shouldn't be doing this, but I don't really want to get my ass fucked around with because I hate all the good people leaving and all the stupid idiots staying because of how things work around here.
I'll be taking requests out of a need to keep myself sane, but keep in mind that these are REQUESTS and I may or may not get them finished any time soon. I'll probably be drinking vodka and remodelling my house to withstand a fucking artillery barrage while I've got White Stripes and shit like that blaring. Have fucking fun on this shitsite.

Christmas Wishlist (a rather happier meme)
Posted 15 years agoThe Rules: Step 1
Make a post in your journal containing your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple to really big. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
If you wish for real-life things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where folks could get in touch with you.
Step 2
Surf around other lists to see who has posted their list. If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream for free--do it. You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call. There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special
Step 3
The List
--- --- --- --- --- ---
1. What I want the most is to spend at least one evening with my mate with the sky dark and snow falling around us.
2. This is what I've wanted my entire life: Some way (preferebly scientific) of turning myself and my loved ones (as well as anyone else willing, if possible) into real anthropomorphs.
Those first two are really all I really, really want, but there are ten slots to fill...so let's try to fill them up, then. *all wishes from here on down are in no particular order of preference*
3. LapFox Trax music (discontinued free releases, discontinued albums, VULPvibe and LapFox -era both) would be really appreciated, as would any White Stripes album. I'm hooked on them.

Scanner.
Posted 15 years agoMy scanner worked for all of one day and now it doesn't work and I am more than a little pissed off, since I had been planning to upload a lot of my artwork that had never ever come close to being uploaded. Technology sucks.
Miraqueloux
Posted 15 years agoI've been through shit my entire life--family problems, failing in school, medical problems, injuries, heartbreak, never having enough money for things I want and almost never having money for things I need, being discriminated against, all this shit that's brought me down...they've all added up and worn me down over the years...I'd always figured that one of two things was the case: One, I had done something horrible to somebody in a past life somewhere, or two I was due for something really really good and all the bad things were a sort of...karmic pre-set balance. Today, I think...I think that it may have been the second one...because the best thing to ever happen to me is happening now....
I found true, real love.
This isn't something to do with hormones, and it's not just simple attraction of ideas or of appearance, or anything like that. Vipes (:amnail:) and I have been friends for about a year now (if I remember correctly), and we've remained true friends throughout everything we've gone through together. I'd helped him with his problems and cheered him up (and gave him a few free t-shirts), and he'd always returned the kindness by getting me out of my depressed streaks and calming me down whenever I'd lost control over something (and he also gave me a free bottle of peelz with Louis on the side). I've been through shit with other lovers and my relationships had never worked out for me, mainly because of their sheer impossibility in circumstance--throughout life I'd always attracted the pathological liars and the drifters. He helped me through that shit as well, when he could. Love had always faded away, but love with those others didn't come as an almost sibling-level love tempered by pain, friendship, looking out for each other, and frankly just being assholes to each other when times required it to get motivated to do what needed to be done. Vipes does not feel bicurious, and he isn't homosexual or bisexual. This love didn't come from physical or sexual attraction. We've never even seen each other. We just match, and that match goes far beyond simple personality quirks and likes/dislikes. It's the most beautiful kind of love there really is, and...it's the reason that I'm going to become female. In the real world. I'm not going to quote our entire discussion about it for personal reasons, but we've both agreed that it's the best choice...I do this not just for him but for myself. I don't need to explain myself past that point.
Vipes, I love you as a friend and mate. Thank you for telling me how you felt.

Duct-Tape Mod
Posted 15 years agoI just got back from the redneck-style campout (literally about thirty minutes ago, and I unpacked everyone's stuff while they lazily went and sat/lay down somewhere). Got to go four-wheeling an' all that shit in my Jeep, and I got to shoot shit with my Remington 870.
Speaking of the 870, I had gotten it only a few days ago (same day I decided to go camping/went camping) for $200 and I had already figured out how to make it more redneck-y and such.
I duct-taped a red LED flashlight to the barrel.
That's my $5 dollar alternative to the "tactical" flashlights other people've got on their shotguns. I even placed it in just the right spot to illuminate my ironsights so's I can aim at my target at night (with no expensive electric/tritium sights).
As it turns out, my Vietnam-era GI grandfather got the attention of his superiors in boot-camp by consistently catching shells in midair whenever they popped out during reloading (most of the time somebody'd have to bend over to pick them up off the ground), without even looking at the gun (again, most people'd be looking down at their shotguns the whole time and he'd caught shells in midair while staring downrange at his target). As he tells the story, the Sarge had walked right over to him and demanded to know where he came from. When he responded "Southern Louisiana, sir.", the Sergeant lost his look of amazement and simply said "Well that makes sense, then. As you were."
I think my Cajun genes are starting to awaken.

Redneck Style
Posted 15 years agoGoing camping and going to go shoot shit with my new shotgun. Be gone the whole weekend. Won't be able to contact ANYONE.
Let people in SL know for me if you know who I know on my main or alt accounts (eh).
Speaking of main account, turns out my stuff, inventory, house, and profile are all still there (and my groups too). I just need to bitch at an LL admin until they eventually unlock it.

Opening Up
Posted 15 years agoI finally opened up about my pansexuality and some other assorted mental conditions to some people I'd been hiding it from for a long time.
It felt good.

SECOND LIFE TRUTHS
Posted 15 years ago"That doesn't match up with some random fact we made up just now", "Is your computer--yes the computer you're using now to talk to us--plugged in?", "Are you sure you can't see the HUD? I can't tell from this obvious picture you sent me", "We're trying our best to update the customer-care department and make it larger, including downsizing all the Lindens that actually try to help you sad fuckers", and "Then just report yourself to us in-world if you don't know who's bothering you and we can ban you instead to solve your problem."
They were all real answers to paying customers of a multi-million-dollar endeavor. When is Microsoft going to buy those LL fucktards out and rename SecondLife "Skylight", then help the millions of paying customers (both Basic--who actually pay much more, and Premium)?

Because Facebook sucks ass when you want to say something.
Posted 15 years agoJust posted this on Lost Zombies in response to the overdone "I'd use the .50 cal sniper rifle to kill the zombies":
I hate to break this to you, but the men responding with the facts needed to say it's a very illogical choice have probably used the guns in real life.
I have played different games with .50 cal weapons, and yes those weapons are the absolute best in said games, but in real life the kickback of a .50 cal can actually kill you, the weight of the gun alone would leave you chucking it off an overpass at your first chance, the ammunition would make so much damn noise that you'd have no trouble alerting every single zombie within 10 or 15+ miles to your exact location, and if you want to have any hopes of hitting the target you need to perform insane calculations that take into account the weight of the bullet, the spin of the earth, the spin of the bullet as it leaves the barrel, the range of the target, the windspeed, and so on and so forth. I don't know about you, but I suck at mathematics and I could never use a pocket calculator and much less a top-grade military anti-armor rifle that weighs 30+ pounds and can crush every rib in my chest when I fire it, and I doubt many other average-build human beings could either.

STORE IS OPEN!!! [READ THIS]
Posted 15 years agoThat's right. For those of you who remember my old, old, old journal about opening an online store to sell products like shirts and bumper stickers, well...I did it.
For those of you who don't remember that...it's a goddamn store with stuff for you to buy that you'll probably like .
http://www.zazzle.com/vatz_dat_coonfox
Thar be da link. Only one product up at this exact moment, but there should be a few more up by the time you guys check it out.
My personal favorite? Calumet High School Wolverines bumper sticker *AMERICAAAAN pride*
All I can really say now is...wow. I actually got one of my goals to completion.
In other news, still no word on the whole SL issue, but my account seems to still be there.
Anyways. I'm off to celebrate and post shit fer sale.

Nerdcore
Posted 15 years agoI can not believe I've been missing out on so much.
Discovered Optimus Rhyme and MC Chris today, liking Obey The Moderator and Hoodie Ninja the most, with Fett's Vette, Ford vs Chevy, and Sick Day following up.
Also, for the time being, I am going to assume that the guys at LL are going to eventually reactivate my account since I gave them all the proof they need, but haven't gotten around to it yet because of all the thousands of trouble tickets they probably recieve daily since they don't care about maintaining their Grid. That means no more updates from me about the whole SL thing for a while--assume I'll be back online within a month or two if all goes well.
Going to watch Red Dawn now.

Another SL update.
Posted 15 years agoIt's been two days and they still haven't done shit even though I did everything I needed to, but I don't want to submit another ticket telling them to hurry the fuck up already in case they decide to delete my account anyway.
Update on SL status
Posted 15 years agoGave them required IDs and other such things, gave them hell over Tech Support (while still being nice). Turns out I broke no rules and whoever reported me doesn't have anything much to say.
Moving on to the actual important stuff:
They still haven't reactivated my damn account. They're supposedly going to but they need to close the trouble ticket first.
I'll be waiting. Until then still no SL access, and even when I'm allowed to log the hell in again I'll still need to update all my information for Age Verification. As in, I myself will update it, and I will make sure to post valid information this fucking time. I will also need to make sure my Malakoff house is still there, make sure there was no inventory loss, and make sure I'm still in essence getting the damn services I'm paying for. Paying real money, in fact. Not a one-time fee either. I'm paying quarterly for this.

Updates.
Posted 15 years agoI'll be working on my stories more to try and finish at least one of them (probably one of the short stories).
Also, I'm gonna start working on my Halloween costume (at least I hope I can start working on it ). I'm gonna be an anthro Splicer (see: Bioshock) with a duct-tape face mask and '50s clothes, and a bludgeoning object of some kind. I also need to get back into practice with my insane ranting-to-self voice.

Posted 15 years agoI don't even fucking know how long they'll keep my account on hold before deleting the fucking thing, and I know this can be sorted out if I can just LOG THE FUCK IN TO MY ACCOUNT, which they want me to do anyway, but I can't log in to fix this problem if they froze my account and won't let me log in.
Hellz if I know why this is an issue, but apparently somebody reported me for not being age-verified after I got teleported into a sim full of porn and nude avs (without my prior knowledge of what was in there--I'm a goddamn war artist/writer, and a nervous wreck besides, so I couldn't say no when the TPer wanted me to draw a porn commission because I'm scared shit of offending people). A friend had age-verified me a while back and didn't tell me about it until just recently. Now it's on hold and could be deleted, and I'm too damn paranoid to do anything about it except send a picture of a driver's license and wait for LL to respond.
Basically the problem is that my information was probably faked by a friend who age-verified me without even telling me.
So to all my friends on SL (and especially to said friends who can contact other friends of mine on SL who don't have my FA information), I'm going to be gone at least for a little while and possibly for good. I really hope (really, really, really, fucking maniacally hope) that this can be sorted out peacefully and with a favorable outcome for all parties involved.
I'd like to say sorry to my SL sis too for not being able to be there when shi needs me, and to all the other friends I've made over the one short year I've been in SL. I hope I can talk to all of you again, and soon.
Sis, Penny, you especially mean a lot to me. I don't know if I'll ever be able to get back on SL, but I'm trying so hard to fix this. I will talk to you again, somehow...that's a promise. Even if I don't make it back to SL, please don't give up. I love you.
To any LL workers out there, I would just like to say that SecondLife is all I have left and the only people I can really count as a family are on SecondLife. If the age-verification thing doesn't go through correctly (I'd assume because of said friend probably using fake info as a joke, which I wouldn't put past them) I'm totally fine with being removed from access to Adult sims (what would I even be missing? That's not my style anyway) due to the mess-up until I can be proven 18+. Also, I promise to stop bad-mouthing LL all the time when chatlag hits me because that was mostly joking around anyway.

The Controversial Survey
Posted 15 years ago[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
Obviously.
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
No.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
It's the aborter's choice.
[04] Do you think a country would fail with a female president?
No. There have been several successful female leaders in history. It's just the United States that would fail if Hillary Clinton was the President.
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
If the cause is great enough.
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
I don't care.
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
For. I do not need to explain myself.
[08] Do you believe in God?
Yes, but not in organized religion.
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Yes, and then I think all the extra drama should be dropped. It's the bride/bride or groom/groom choice in the matter. I will probably never marry, though.
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Giving the staunch Republican answer, they're good for our economy. Giving the Conservative answer, I think everyone has a right to live in the "Home of the Free Because of the Brave".
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
Morally yes, but again it's her own choice.
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
I don't particularly care. People will drink regardless.
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
No. Our soldiers are in the Middle East for a reason. War isn't desirable but it is required sometimes.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Am I agreeing that it's illegal? Yes. Am I agreeing that it SHOULD be illegal? No. Sometimes somebody needs to die, and they accept this. Suicide for a stupid reason is stupid, but if you have a terminal cancer with only days to live (for example) or if you (in a more extreme example) wanted to be put out of your pain after being fatally wounded, then it should be your own choice.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
I can not give an answer to that, not having children.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
The flag is just an icon. I could burn the flag without feeling any remorse. It's the ideals it stands for that are important.
[17] Who do you think would have made a better president? McCain or Obama?
McCain. That can be had from my base psychological and political standings, which in turn can be found in my base personality.
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Not unduly.
Obviously.
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
No.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
It's the aborter's choice.
[04] Do you think a country would fail with a female president?
No. There have been several successful female leaders in history. It's just the United States that would fail if Hillary Clinton was the President.

[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
I don't particularly care. People will drink regardless.
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
No. Our soldiers are in the Middle East for a reason. War isn't desirable but it is required sometimes.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Am I agreeing that it's illegal? Yes. Am I agreeing that it SHOULD be illegal? No. Sometimes somebody needs to die, and they accept this. Suicide for a stupid reason is stupid, but if you have a terminal cancer with only days to live (for example) or if you (in a more extreme example) wanted to be put out of your pain after being fatally wounded, then it should be your own choice.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
I can not give an answer to that, not having children.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
The flag is just an icon. I could burn the flag without feeling any remorse. It's the ideals it stands for that are important.
[17] Who do you think would have made a better president? McCain or Obama?
McCain. That can be had from my base psychological and political standings, which in turn can be found in my base personality.
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Not unduly.
Going to be gone
Posted 15 years agoMy internet connection is being disabled for the stupidest reason ever, and in one hour I won't be able to talk to anybody or conduct business in a usual manner at all.
Knowing my fucking luck, this may be the last fucking time I ever log in to FA to post a journal.
So this is goodbye.

all gone, all floating away into space...
Posted 15 years agoeverything ive ever worked on is fucking gone. all because i had to keep it all in one place to save somebody else's stupid computer and because when i absolutely needed to keep working on one fucking file, the computer i was using fucking formatted the entire fucking drive automatically without my knowledge or consent, and the people who set the computer up knew about this and take no responsibility for destroying my life's work.
so i'm more than a little pissed the fuck off. considering blowing the fucking institution the fuck up now.
somehow i turned my feelings into a song. don't know how that's even possible for me.
all gone, all floating away
everything one has ever stood for
all floating away into space
there's nothing to think about
it's all going away now
maybe it's there, in another universe
all gone, all floating away
floating into space, into space
nothing more for me out there
nothing left for me in here
what's the meaning of life after all?
i was so close to finding it
but now it's
all gone, all floating away
everything one has ever tried to build for themselves
and for others
unappreciated, unloved, and uncared for
all floating away, into space
all gone, all floating away
nothing left for me here
nothing more for me out there
nothing more inside
rebuilding is an illusion
but all we have to hold on to
all gone, all floating away

Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Posted 15 years agoThey said it couldn't be done.
And there are in fact six motion pictures made for the original series (they're very dark and gritty), one for the original and Next Generation (called Generations), one for just Next Generation (deals with the Borg and is also very dark and gritty--possibly almost as gritty as the old ones), and the new one (while indeed extremely dark, I wouldn't really call it gritty by any means).
Tonight I'm watching Generations, bringing my list of old Star Trek movies to watch (in sequential order) to a close. They are very good. I like VGER's "Kirk Unit" reference and Spock's "My shoes?" line. As well as Pablo Chekov's clueless "I'm through? May I go now?" when being threatened.

FREE ART (I'm "pimping" it.)
Posted 15 years agohttp://www.furaffinity.net/view/4546426/
FREE ART DO IT DAMMIT AND DO IT TODAY OR WE ALL DIE.
IT WAS HARD TO FILL IN YOUR SHOES, SPOCK.

My shoes?
I'm sick.
Posted 15 years agoAnd I have to spend my whole weekend doing housework.
Shame, really. I finally found a realistic (no demons/angels/vampires/nekos/etc. or magic) post-nuclear RP area in SL. How realistic? Instead of the usual giant robots or alien artifacts that generate forcefields, your average armor consists of two half-tires on your shoulders, an old Wermacht helmet with some safety stickers on it, a gasmask (without any glowing attachements), and maybe some intact clothing if you're especially lucky. Only problem is that the old, old, old veterans (who've been around long enough to have some really good pre-Apoc equipment like kevlar armor and assault rifles and the occasional Jeep) don't like furs at all, and the official rules state that the only anthros/furs in the RP are either mutants (technically enemy to humans) or "manimals" which are essentially feral-acting freak animals on two legs. Not that I really mind having to RP as a mutant or (in some cases) a "manimal", I'd really rather not be trolled at for deciding to try and be a part of the semi-civilized society that all the normal humans have set up. Still working on that. One guy suggested a cave by the sea where I could go to lick my wounds (metaphorically, I assume) and get away from haters or RPers who RP as haters/paranoid delusionals/whatevers. So I'm going back in soon's I can gather up L$1000* for an Mutation Industries fox av (the detached slightly deranged expression and slim build would really fit the mood). Which I've wanted for a while anyway.
I actually spent fifteen minutes writing this single journal, according to the mix playing in my living room (Renard Mix from Renard's End of Days). That isn't common for me.
I guess I'd better get to describing how I'm actually sick instead of going off on a limb while I wait for my dishes to finish and the drill's battery to finish charging.
Had a sore throat yesterday (I blame the sushi), and now I'm coughing really badly, have a headache, a runny/stuffy nose (alternates), and I'm blacking out more often than usual when I stand up. Sucks. A lot.
How're y'all's days going?
* if you have an SL and ingame monies to spare, donations would be greately appreciated (and hopefully paid back whenever I have money of my own in the game) :3

My views on SL screenshot uploads.
Posted 15 years agoIf you take a picture of a graffiti wall and say "Oh, I took this picture of a graffiti wall in Los Angeles", nobody will give a shit even though you don't say who did the art or edit it in any way to make it "original". If you take a picture of something in SL and edit it to make it look original (especially if you give credit to the original creator of whoever made your av or whatever), people do give a shit. It's just the human condition acting up again. Humanity is stupid in general and they like to pick out the most nonsensical things to get worked up over.
It's 9/11
Posted 15 years agoShouldn't need to explain what that date stands for. I've noticed a lot of various flaming red assholes on this site mentioning what a waste of time the whole thing is.
I've also noticed that there's no 9/11 artwork on the site, anywhere. That really surprised me, until I stopped to think about the kind of people that almost literally live on the Internet. Hell, I didn't even see 9/11 porn, which you'd expect to see on a site like this. I guess I should just be happy there wasn't porn of the event. I'd probably track down the artist and pull their liver out.
This country is a piece of shit at times, but the ideals it stands for are not. Stay American.
