One Story Ends, Another Begins?
Posted 9 years agoSo as most of our friends have probably heard by now, Navajo and I have decided that after 7 1/2 years together that we are better off as friends. We ended on good terms and mutual understanding. So at least I can say, there's no hard feelings and things are peaceful. We're continuing our living situation for the foreseeable future so nothing will change in that respect.
So after this, we let things settle a bit more. I took some time to center myself and figure out what the hell I was feeling for someone I've known for a few years and finally decided to grow a spine and ask him out. So, we'll see how things go from here. I can honestly say, even without having started to date yet, just the thought is enough to keep me smiling throughout the day. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a thing for the guy for awhile now. So even to have a chance is... Amazing to say the least.

Captains Log, Supplemental
Posted 9 years agoBeen a busy year so far! Got a new house, a new car and a second job to pay for the new car! Lol
Had to sell the motorcycle on trade unfortunately to get the new car. Didn't ride it enough to justify paying the yearly tags and monthly insurance. Some day I'll get another I'm sure. Anthrocon 2016 was awesome this year. Went out a week before the con and explored Pittsburgh. I'm pretty sure we were the first ones there this year lol. Visited the zoo, rode the ducky tours (CHEESY but fun and informative if you ever wanted to learn about Pittsburgh, cause ya know, some of us think of it as home) We stayed until after the 4th of July, was nice to see the fireworks down by the river again, sitting under the convention center <3 Met some great people this year, had a blast with old friends that I've actually not had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with in the past. Walked away with stronger friendships and some new ones. Never a bad way to end a great convention. Didn't get to suit as much as I wanted again, but that was my own fault. Between two wonderful nights of food poisoning during the con (Not the best way to maintain your weight) and trying to see as much as possible just didn't have the time. It was worth it though!
Finally hit 100 pounds of total weight loss. Been a long damn road, but so worth it. Looking back, losing all that weight was both easy and difficult. Easy in the respect that once you've decided to say screw it, I need to change, it's easy to change. Hard in the respect of actually holding to it, because each day in the beginning was absolute hell.

Tuesday, October 7th, 2014, I lost my baby
Posted 11 years agoOn Tuesday October 7th, 2014 I laid my beloved German Shepherd/Siberian Husky, Riley to rest.
I held him in my arms for the last few moments of life. He lifted his head and kissed my face just before the medication took hold. I held him in my arms crying that daddy was right here, and was so sorry.
Riley saved my life, literally, on more than one occasion.
He was my best friend, my companion, my child and my baby. I will forever have a void in my life without him near me. No words can express the pain in my heart at his passing.
Daddy loves you baby, daddy loves you, so very much~

What a year
Posted 11 years agoDear 2013, I will be happy to see you leave.
This has been a very long and aging year. Lost 3 cats. Almost lost my dog. Battling insurance companies, fighting through recovering from major surgery. Living off of credit cards during recovery.
Still fighting through it all, pushing forward and hoping for the best.
Hopefully 2014 proves to be a better year.

Anthrocon 2012
Posted 13 years agoSo, I can say without a doubt that Anthrocon 2012 was the best Con to date. Saturday night was the most epic night of the con. Staying out till 4am in suit was amazing fun. My energy level was unstoppable and I surprised even myself with my ability to come out of my bubble. I met many amazing people through suiting during the con. My new nickname is apparently "Blinky" :D
lol
Posted 13 years agoHow does anyone think calling me a faggot is an insult? Wow, idiots these days.
Oh and buddy, I work a better job then youll ever have :)

Anthrocon
Posted 14 years ago72 Days until we leave for Anthrocon! Finally! A chance to get away from the day to day work crap and be free. A chance for me and Navajo
navajo to see our good friends and hit some awesome private parties. A chance to hang out with my brother, Artic
LoneIowanWolf Away from Iowa. A chance to wear my epic fursuit made by www.donthugcacti.com, as always, Thank you so much Lucky and Skuff! <3 *wolf stalk* hehe
Can't wait to hit the dance floor and get back on stage to some amazing music :D
Hopefully immature children, that have seemed to crop up lately, will get backed in to a corner or two. Seriously "kid" You are not as invincible as you seem to think, try me. >:)

Back from MFF
Posted 15 years agoWell, me and Navajo made it back from Midwest Furfest safe and sound. On the way back we ran in to a huge storm *fun*
The weekend went pretty good, although exhaustion seemed to be the theme for this years con. I myself could barely stand friday night due to being so tired. No idea why x,x. Saturday November 20th, Navajo and I celebrated our one year anniversary <3 A quiet dinner for two before heading back to the con. We also got a commission from
hibbary to celebrate it :D When I saw the drawing she had done, I honestly started to tear up. It captured our emotions and love... perfectly <3

Posted 15 years agoFucking "Rent-A-Furs" Get a fucking clue before you open your mouth >,<
***Rent a Fur*** = A class of fur who has ZERO knowledge of any aspect of the fandom. A fur who only joins because they can't fit in anywhere else. A joke, A fake.
Go to a LAFF meet, a few "Rent-A-Fur" groups have joined the activities.
Last time I was there, a small group of these morons were bitching and whining about using antimicrobial/antibacterial spray on a fursuit because they could smell it. Then proceeded to bitch about how mold and mildew would take over anyway so what was the point.. These morons should not ever be allowed near any convention period. If you can't understand the simplest thing of owning a fursuit, keeping it clean and lasting, then shut the fuck up. They were being so fucking loud and obnoxious it ruined the whole thing for several of the regular furs, myself and boyfriend included.
The next person that whines about why would you clean a fursuit, I'm going to slug them in the fucking face. SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU WORTHLESS RENT A FURS!!! GET A GOD DAMN CLUE OF WHAT THE HELL THE FANDOM IS ABOUT BEFORE JOINING THE REST OF US AND RUINING IT! For the love of god, get some fucking knowledge.

Posted 15 years agoSo just found out the insurance wont pay a dime of the medical work I had done, and also our company was just bought out and none of us know if we'll have jobs after the first. So I sit here with 13k in other debt, and now another 1k for medical bills, with possibly no job to back it. Best yet I broke my work phone when I hung up on the bitch at the insurance company. Wonderful day this is turning out to be. I'm not getting up tomorrow for anything, fuck it.
Hate & Homophobia
Posted 15 years agoI wish I could fully understand why homosexuals are hated by people so very much. http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Grou.....omment91307383 The level of hate on this subject is beyond acceptable in this day and age. They claim it is immoral and wrong for gays to be gay, yet when asked directly why they feel that way, the spout nonsense and attempt reasoning stating that we're a threat to them. Yet again they will not explain this "threat" we pose to them.
I sit here, waiting for my boyfriend to get home. We have discussed it and someday we will marry, Iowa happens to be one of the few states to grant equal rights under the constitution to all. It is amazing to me that so many do not understand the simple aspect of the gay marriage situation.... It states in the constitution that all will be granted equal rights, and that the majority can NOT infringe on the rights of a minority.. Yet some how, some way, they view this is a lie and turn to stating it is not about equal rights. Yes, yes it is.
On the discussion that came up on that sight... *sigh* It was stated that it was my choice to be.. well, how I am, gay. It was not, I lied to myself for years on end, wondering why I was different and why I couldn't be as some of my straight friends were.
People against gay marriage claim that we gays are "shoving our lifestyles down their throats"... Isn't that what a straight person does every single time they say "We are allowed to do this and that and you are not"? Not one person could or would tell me why they have so much hate for us... It is sad that they can justify their hatred and intolerance so easily in their minds. It is sad how they can raise themselves above us common folks and deem themselves worth of deciding weather or not we are second class citizens or not.

Posted 15 years agoToo little time to do anything these days. Any activity is more of a hassle then it's worth. I'm not sure if a/c will happen this year or not. The way it looks now, I'd be better off staying home.. I'm not one for much fun these recent days
Random Update <3
Posted 15 years agoHey everyone! (this is going to be mushy so if you have a weak stomach, skip!!!)
Things have been going pretty good for me lately, my boyfriend and I are still going strong <3 and I only see it getting better and better. It's amazing, I spent so long, so many years alone, to one day getting dragged to a furmeet by one of my best friends, met a bunch of new and great people.. and one wonderfully sweet and cute guy, whom I figured wasn't even the slightest bit interested in plain old me.. We exchanged info, and went our seperate ways. A few days later we started talking online, more and more, then on the phone, and within a month I realized.. I was in love... and at mff (our first official date <3) I knew it without a doubt, that this guy, this.. wonderful... loving... caring and sweet guy, was who I had been waiting on. He is my world. I didn't want to tell him then that I was in love with him.. I was worried he didn't feel the same way.. I waited a few days, and decided that the following weekend I would drive and spend it with him.. and tell him... Took almost all weekend for me to gather the courage to tell him.. I was so scared... I said it to him "I.. I'm in love with you" then something happened I wasn't expecting... he looked at me, and said "I love you too"
Now here we are entering February, He came here this weekend for his birthday ^,^ and left a few hours ago. I miss him, as he knows, I still cry when he has to leave. It hurts when he's gone.
I've dated before.. not many times, but a few... I've been hurt badly too.. When I look into his eyes, I see in them, that he will never hurt me and will always care and love me. He's all I want, and he is my world. I love him with every ounce of my being. Laying next to him in bed, gently rubbing his cheek, then wrapping my arm around him tight and resting my head behind his... I think to myself every time, I wish this moment would last forever.

Posted 15 years agoWell, me and Artic made it back to Iowa safe and sound... Wish the weekend could have lasted forever... I love being around my boyfriend and just holding on to him. Love him with all my heart, which he knows ;) I get to see him soon so that's a relief. It's always hard coming back to Iowa without him.
On other notes, with any luck.. the bank will give me the thumbs up for a house loan *crosses finger/paws*

Tat
Posted 16 years agoMy tat is finally finished! Got to upload some pics once the redness goes away and the white shows up better.
Hey everyone
Posted 16 years agoHere I sit, 3am and thinking...
I get to go to cons now, thanks to a very good friend who's dragging me along ^^.
I'm ordering my fursuit today *screams yay*
If you want to know who I am, just ask. If you want to know who I am on the inside, my inner being then look at my fursona, He is me. Yes my fursona's red rocket is hanging out, if all you see is porn, then keep surfing. It's meant to mean more then that. The artist knows what I mean, and of coarse so do I.
I'm always looking to make new friends. I'm always looking for someone special as well. Am I strange for getting a tattoo of my fursona? Maybe. Am I happy with it? Yes, very.

Tired, thinking, yacking... blah blah blah....
Posted 16 years agoSo yeah, SlyWolf, my fursona *winks to satsukii* is going on my chest in a month or two ^_^ Someday I'll get a less adult *pouts* version of him and put him I think on my wrist. With the two tattoo's I have on my forearm now, there be a blank spot, and it's reserved for him... err me... wait.... eh, that works.
Yes yes, I know it's still a LONG ways away, but never hurts to plan!
Assuming I can save up enough money, and meet some people and make friends that want to go, I'm going to Anthrocon next year :D I so very much want to meet new people and make new friends, localy and anywhere else. The people I know around here are... well... yeah... I'll just brush that off for now... ANYWAY!!!!, I've heard AC is much more fun if you have people to go with. Anyone wanna go? hehe
Oh.. and assuming I can get a fursuit made. I actually want a partial, well at least for now. If not... I'll probably still go, just think it would be a lot more fun in suit! I wonder though... how much is the fursuit creator going to hate doing the tribal and hair :P

Fursona
Posted 16 years agoI just can't stop looking at my fursona! The reason why? I've spent a lot time looking at various fursonas online. Always finding a few and saying to myself "damn that's a good fursona, I love the style and detail, wish I could get one like that/as good as that."
Now, thanks totally to SATSUKII!!!!!!!!!! I look at my fursona, and each time I still think "wow I wish I could get one that good with those details" then it hits me a split second later, he is mine! That is my fursona!
I don't know if I could ever fully explain why my fursona means so much to me. I can never fully express my thanks to satsukii... although I tell her a LOT! (pretty soon she'll just think I'm nuts) No words I can choose to say will ever be able to capture and convey the joy I feel when I see that blue ear'd, tribal laced, frisky, sexy, passionate anthro version of my self.
For some reason or another it feels as if I won the lottery. I smile every time I see my fursona, and giggle right after out of delight.
(And now a random thought, DAMIT I WANT TO GO TO ANTHROCON NEXT YEAR! IT LOOKS SOOOOOO FUN! I just don't like going places alone :( so trying to see if I can get to know anyone localy and make some friends that want to go, hehe wish me luck... or something)
