Headed to MFF again this year. I work in registration, so you might see me around whether you realize it or not! I have a couple of long shifts on Thursday and Friday. But I should still have time here and there to say hi to folks, especially Saturday and Sunday.

I'm heading to Midwest Furfest again this year. Arriving in the evening on Wednesday (Nov 29), leaving late-morning Monday (Dec 4).

I'm registration staff at MFF, so I will be busy nearly all day Thursday except possibly the morning, and then probably busy for half of Friday, but otherwise there are times to meet a tiger and say hello. Other plans here and there of course, but plenty of time to meet up, too.

Let me know if you want to say hi, so we can figure out contact info and/or how to meet.

I'm going to both!

BLFC - Oct 30 to Nov 2 - Reno, NV
I'm senior staff at BLFC, but I still can make time to meet folks. Best to reach out in advance though!

MFF - Nov 30 to Dec 3 - Chicago [area], IL
At MFF I'm just regular staff, so not -as- busy, but still it is better to make plans or at the very least reach out and say you want to meet up or say hi ahead of time.

As the title says, I'll be at MFF 2022. I'm working in Registration again same as last year.

If you want to say hi or meet, send a Note or drop a comment and can see about sharing info.

As the title says, I've mostly finished uploading the backlog of pictures. There are a couple more coming that are either pretty new or just ones I haven't yet prepped for upload, but overall it's pretty close to the end, for now.

Feel free to comment on your favorite ones, I do like knowing which pictures people like.

Well, I'm finally going to try and catch up on my 7 year backlog of pictures to upload. Wish me luck. Not going to stick to any firm schedule but going to try and have 1 or more a day, as long as I can think of what to write for them.

Update: I think I will aim for 4 pictures a day, 4-ish hours apart. I might do more or less than that, but that's the goal.

Art Takedown / Verification Journal

This is for F-List characters Verdauga & Chakat Softstripe
ticket #145786

i.e. Just getting the old journal I had up off of my profile page.

A very close friend is a little tight on money due to some work/roommate developments. Not begging or anything, but they're really improving in their arting ability and are offering commissions with very low prices. I've already lined up my commissions! Check them out:  ami Commission Info

Also, another artist I know is moving soon, and as some people know, moving costs more than you expect, always. (It's one of those laws of nature things) So she needs some help too, and is offering commissions. I already got a few from her!  crystalwhisker Moving Sale Info


Look at that! For only $10 you can get two pieces of art, one from each of them! And color is only a little bit more, if you're looking to get a few nice pictures of your character to show around to others.

 Greywolf_Blacksock has one here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3781515/

 Ship-Wreck has a ref-sheet raffle here http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3779183/

 Relm is having a 250 watcher raffle here http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3776783/

I want to say thank you, to everybody!

Especially thank you to the Bay Area furs that welcomed me when my flight was cancelled. Azazial, Inaki, and Caside, you and your friends really made me wish I lived in a place with more great furs like you guys.

Thank you to my friends and family, I won't say who you are, because I will miss somebody and feel horrible about it, but you know. The ones that are there when I am down, and when I need help. Friends like you guys really are one of the reasons for living.

Thank you to all my watchers. And EXTRA thank you to those that leave comments! It's great knowing that the art I buy (or occasionally get as a gift) is pleasing to more than just myself. I love to share happiness and enjoyment and such and it's great you all like it.

More thank yous again to those that comment. I LOVE comments, just about anything is okay on my submissions as long as it's not hateful or mean or such, and I really encourage everybody to say more, say what the picture made you think about, or say the details that you find pleasing.

Thank you to everybody that takes time, any time at all, to share with me, play with me, talk with me, everything. Furries can be the worst people at times, but really, more often than not they are the people that make my life special and that mean the most to me.

From the bottom of my heart (or hearts, for you chakats =D), I thank you all for being my friends, my lovers, and my family. I never want to have to say goodbye to such a community as long as I live, and I never plan to.

Keep on keeping on, keep on being awesome, keep on being furry (or scaley, feathery, etc), and most of all keep on being yourselves!

Thank you,
Verdauga, Softstripe, Jason

Haven't done a raffle in a while, so here is my entry for a big one by  EvilLabRat http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3665403/

Also,  SamanthaFeline is having a raffle for hitting 1500 watchers! If they get enough entries they'll be doing some bonus thing or other too: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3725795/

Okay, I have decided I will probably release about five pieces a day or so until I am caught up. Shouldn't take too long. I'll probably forget a day in there somewhere because that's how I am =P

So, I have a new character / form that I am very much enjoying. Not sure if shi should just be me in a different form, or if I should name hir and such...

So, I don't want suggestions for names, but rather, suggestions on how you like to come up with a name, or suggestions on what kind of name shi should have (i.e. what culture of the world should lend their naming customs and words for hir appearance)

The character in question is this shy girl here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8329560/

Thanks anybody that has helpful input =D

*chuckles* Not that I actually am making a fuss. First birthday away from home, so it's sorta strange to be more or less alone... I never had big parties anyways. I was the one conscious of family finances and would always say I didn't need much or anything. So it's a bit odd not having a cake, but I can go bake one if I really want, I suppose. =)

Bored-cat on birthday leads to rambling posts.

Currently showing off a raffle by  lycangel - check it out here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3627927/

Hey all. I don't often plug journals but I like Anuvia's art a lot. You still have time to enter! http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3556479/

Go check it out.

Trying to get a Pilot's License. Fighting the FAA over my medical certificate. I doubt many people have experience with this, but if you do, lemme know if you have any advice. Advice on fighting the FAA over a medical certificate, not about flying or getting a license =P

A good friend of mine is opening up commissions, with prices starting as low as $5! Go check them out:

Why can't the Profile ID be ABOVE the Journals... seriously! Normally the journal is bigger... and I want my Profile ID to be up there. Especially considering the Profile Info page lies about where the Profile ID is placed... sheesh. I imagine this can't be changed user-side.

Take a few minutes and gain some perspective, whether you're on one side or another.

If you disagree, go post somewhere else, I'm too tired of dealing with idiots over this to tolerate them on my page. I will hide your comment.

This one came via  Kiba

1) What's your lucky number?
- Don't have one, seriously... how do people get a lucky number anyways.

2) How many cartwheels in a row can you do?
- zero without hurting myself, or 1/2 with breaking my neck.

3) How long have you been in the fandom?
- 6 years active, 8 years total

4) How did you first found out about the fandom?
- I give all credit to  Waggs founder/admin of http://www.transfur.com/ As I got in through TF art, all starting I think with a google search on Werewolves.

5) What was your first fursona's species and name?
- This is so easy. Verdauga - Bengal Tigress =D

6) What's your favorite color?
- Situationally Dependent. I like Teals, Turquoises, shades of Blue/Greens, Orange, Purple

7) What's your favorite dessert?
- Most things with chocolate and NO fruit. Very Favorite is probably a rotating mix of moist chocolate cake or german chocolate cake

8) How did you find me?
- I can't honestly remember (which is easy for me, I forget a LOT of things) but probably from when I was on SL or more from Tapestries, although I did have an IRC kick for a while too.

9) What's your favorite sport / team?
- I used to say Denver Broncos... but now I probably don't care much and lean towards San Diego Chargers, nearest team to me. I only barely follow football... but there are few sports that are better to watch if you have to.

10) What do you do to cheer yourself up?
- Not much, sadly, and I could use cheering up. Talking with friends helps a lot.

11) How come you're not a taur too?! =O
- Am a taur quite often, so yay Does Not Apply

Annnnd done. I pretty much refuse to spend brain-effort thinking up questions. If I have a question for a friend, I ask them directly. Sorry to kill it here, but don't ask me to write questions x.x Ugh.

Go there, get a free headshot, still a few slots left =)

Hello everybody, I'm trying to condense because 5 of these at once just seems to be annoying. I imagine people are far more likely to read one journal from me (and maybe click through to the raffles) rather then several. I know I get tired of a bunch of updates at once.

So lets begin!
