I'm sorry (talking to the local GA folks here)
Posted 13 years agoI say this with a 100% sober, clear mind. (heh, kinda sad that I have to qualify it that way to begin with).
I'm sorry for being such a terrible excuse for a friend these past few weeks. The people I'm talking to, you know who you are, I hope. Pretty much anyone I've been in contact with in person lately. I've acted like a complete ass, even if unintentionally, and I apologize. I hope you can forgive me, and if there's any way I can possibly make it up to you, I will do it.
Using initials here, to the people at BD's July 4th party who had to take care of my drunk ass after I blacked out, I have no words to describe how sorry I am. Especially A, for whom the actions I don't remember were still terribly inappropriate. It was more than embarrassing; it was rude and downright disrespectful to you all. You've spent so much time and effort to host these parties, at your own financial expense no less, and the last thing you need is a drunk guy disrespecting and abusing your generosity.
To S, I deleted the Twitter posts out of shame, and I am so terribly sorry for putting you into such a guilt trip. I know I was plastered at the time, but that's no excuse for hurting you and damaging the friendship that you've actively worked to repair since FWA. At least here you already know that what I said was the complete opposite of how I actually felt in my sober mind, so that's one small relief.
No clue how to end this journal. So I won't bother trying. I've said all that I wanted to.

Annual status update
Posted 13 years agoRight, so it's been over a year since I've posted here. Guess I should at least put down a brief summary.
Life has been... chaotic. I attended a few raves with highschool friends several months ago (VERY different culture from furry cons, I gotta say). I completed my 3-semester internship with Cox Communications. But then I let myself sink into a case of clinical depression, leading to my dropping out of school. I got a DUI around the same time. I literally could not sink any lower, even by furry standards. Broke (from hiring the DUI lawyer), unemployed, dropped out of school from lack of motivation... yeah.
But it's starting to turn around, at least a little bit. I did almost everything the DUI lawyer told me to do, and because of that, all the other charges were dropped (not going into detail about that here, long story short I would be behind bars right now if those charges weren't dropped). I've applied for a few local jobs, though none have called me back yet. I want to re-apply to Tech within the year, even though I won't have the HOPE scholarship anymore.
Throughout all this, I'm just so very thankful that my parents are not only tolerant of my complete fuckup, but are supporting me and helping me get back on my feet. That, and the support of my friends, especially the #DC gang, is what keeps me going.
I'm going to Momocon and FWA this year because they fall on the same weekend. I know I shouldn't do either since I'm so much in debt to my parents right now, but I barely ever see any of the locals anymore and the lack of social interaction is really starting to get to me. I won't be buying any souvenirs, or spending more than absolutely necessary for a sleeping space and basic food. I also won't be attending any other cons this year, or any local event that requires more money than the gas it takes to get there. I guess it evens out.
Until next... whenever,
Ricochet

Name change?
Posted 15 years agoSo yeah, finally did something I should have done over a year ago and searched Wikifur for "Ricochet"
Turns out I was beaten to the punch years ago, and it looks like he's still an active member of the fandom. I don't want to feel like I'm stealing someone's name, especially if I'm getting a suit in the future, so I don't really know what I should do. Change my furry name? Just the otter character's name? Just the fursuit's name? Ignore it and hope I never get confronted?
I've really kinda wanted to change my FA username for a while anyway, since I never did like the silly choice of onomatopoeia I used.
I dunno. Thoughts?

Elliot's, and fursuit
Posted 15 years agoKeeping things brief, Elliot's Spring Gathering was awesome. The amount of free stuff we got was frankly astounding, and spending time with everyone was a blast. Catching up with work for Tech is going to be excruciating though, not at all looking forward to that.
In other news, while I was there I talked with Petorawolf on a random happenstance before he drove back, aaaaand long story short I'm going to be getting a fursuit! Kinda a bit earlier than I had planned to ever get one, and it wasn't really in my budget, but it was a good price and I took advantage of the deal while it was still valid. Now to see how I can get some reference pictures made...
The fursuit deal is outlined here - http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1411718/ - Kiwi is doing the head and feet, while Pet does the body. Best part is that Pet lives within walking distance of my apartment on campus, so getting dimensions measured and such will be relatively painless.
Definitely looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Posted 15 years agoEh, might as well post it here as well, since I'm hitting up other networks/journals/things.
It's my 20th birthday today, and while 20 is fairly insignificant in terms of née priveliges, I'm still happy about it.
Gonna be a killer weekend \o/

FWA meme
Where are you staying?
At the Hilton, main hotel.
Who will you be with?
Rooming with Cinders, Shilo, various other people. Hanging out with anyone and everyone.
Do you do trades?
Ahaha, you don't want me to try to draw. Trust me.
What suits will you have?
None. Gots me a tail, but that's all. Not even the right species of tail, but whatever >_>
What is your gender?
Guy
How old are you?
19, but will be 20 by the time of the con. Yay for finally getting out of the 'teens.
Can I talk to you?
Of course, unless by "talk to" you mean "rape." 'Cause that would be quite unfortunate.
Can I buy you a drink?
Not legally, but I wouldn't say no =D
What's your poison?
Not enough experience to know yet, heh.
Can I commission you?
Again, YOU DO NOT WANT ME TO DRAW. EVAR.
What events will you be attending?
Honestly, I'll probably just be hanging out with friends the entire time. Planning on going to the dances for sure, and if the improv guys are there again I'm going to that, otherwise I don't have anything specific planned.
Have you visited the website?[furryweekend.com]
Indeed. Also saw that I'm in one of the pictures in the slideshow on the front page, hehe.
If you were in the Rock Band tournament[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3479850], what would your band name be?
Not Your Sister's Bubbles
What would you play?
Guitar or drums. I'm not terribly good at either, but they're fun.
Can I hug you?
Sure, why not, as long as I've talked to you at some point before. No random glomps from strangers plzkthxbai.
How tall are you?
Uhhhh I don't really know. Random guess: 5' 9". I should find out for certain one of these days.
Are you nice? Or do you think so (no personal references needed)?
I like to believe I'm a nice person, even if I am slightly socially awkward.
Are you friendly?
Unless you're a douchehat, then yes.
How long are you going?
Thursday night after work until Sunday night. Gotta work the following Monday so I can't stay any longer.
Do you have an artist table?
NO DRAWING. FOR SRS.
Do you like parties?
Sadly, I'm a college student and have yet to go to a full-fledged party. I'm just that much of a nerdy shut-in I suppose. But I'm open to try! =D
If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Just a plain old "Ricochet!" will work fine. "Otter!" will usually also work, as there aren't a terribly large number of them around.

Meh, arguments
Posted 15 years agoThere's this guy Matt, and he'll never see this page so it's cool. He's a fun nerdy guy to be around most of the time, but he tends to have opinions, strong ones at that. Which wouldn't be bad, except he gets into arguments about why other people's subjective opinions are wrong. Today I was wrong because football is one of the only sports I enjoy watching on TV, which is apparently the most boring thing ever, and I should be watching baseball on TV instead because it's so amazing.
He tends to do this with anime as well (we met through the anime club), where he'll shoot down other people's tastes in anime because obviously if he doesn't like them, then they're no good at all. Sometimes videogames as well. I guess it all just boils down to him assuming that everyone will love the same things he does, and if they don't that means that they're somehow inferior because of it.
Ranty McRantRant over now.

Something's wrong
Posted 15 years agoDon't know why, but it just feels like something's missing in my life right now. Maybe it's the fact that I can no longer ignore my dislike of my appearance. Maybe it's because I don't seem to have any real sense of direction at my new job yet. Maybe I'm just overly emo at 5 AM for some reason.
Or maybe it's the fact that it was a Friday night, and while my roommate Tim went to a party, the rest of us went to Waffle House and watched each other play video games all night. And that this is a regular occurrence for us, to the point that we don't even consider doing anything else.
Goddamn I'm such a shut-in.

Dear
Funshade,
I don't really know how to tell you this, but I'm selling myself for candy. I think I realized it when your dwarf bit me at the mental hospital and I saw you carve your initials into the Catholic Priest. I'm sure you're open enough to understand that I get turned on only by garbage men. I'm returning the couch cushions to you, but I'll keep your photo with the moustache drawn on it as a memory. You should also know that I will not tell the authorites that you stole the whale from the backyard. and I have a passionate interest for mice.
Please, don't lick my inner thighs anymore....

Con was fun, driving not so much.
Posted 16 years agoLike the title says. I enjoyed myself at MFF, bought a poster, met up with some Define Cynical people in person, introduced 4 separate peole to Culver's, and got some awesome advice (and badge) from Izzy while we were out eating.
But dear lord the drive sucked. Each time, at about the 3/4 mark I started getting desperate for ways to keep myself awake. I probably consumed over a gallon of coffee (and two Five Hour Energies and some Vault and Pibb) in the past 24 hours. Also had some stomach troubles on the way back so I ended up stopping at probably half the rest stops along the path, which didn't help my time any. On the plus side, I think I got something like 27 miles to the gallon, which for my car is impressive.
So would I go again? Sure, but only if I flew or was with a carpool. Can't drive that far with no one to take over when I start dozing at the wheel.

MFF
Posted 16 years agoSo yes. Leaving for MFF in about 20 minutes or so, depending on how much longer it takes me to get ready. Went to bed as soon as I got back from classes, so I should be more than awake enough for the trip.
Now if only I was ready for Monday's DSP test...

Name Survey Stolen from ShadowWeaver
Posted 16 years agoStolen from ShadowWeaver's journal, no clue how to link to the user but whatever.
http://www.paulsadowski.com/NameData.asp
Kinda scary how accurate this is. I mean granted, I do have issues actually finishing things on time, and I might not be quite as organized as it claims, but overall it's fairly accurate. My explanations are excessively technical, I hate change, my only artistic ability was in music, and I want to be the one people ask advice from. Interesting quiz/survey/thing, at least.
You entered: [lolname]
There are 20 letters in your name.
Those 20 letters total to 85
There are 7 vowels and 13 consonants in your name.
What your first name means:
Welsh Male Attractive. A translation of the Welsh name Deiniol.
Irish Male Attractive. A translation of the Gaelic name Domhnall.
Hebrew Male God is my Judge. The biblical prophet and writer of Book of Daniel was a teenager when taken to Babylon after the destruction of Jerusalem in 607 BC. He survived two death sentences: (a lions' den and a fiery furnace.); Frontiersman Daniel Boone.
Biblical Male Judgment of God; God my judge
Your number is: 4
The characteristics of #4 are: A foundation, order, service, struggle against limits, steady growth.
The expression or destiny for #4:
Order, service, and management are the cornerstones of the number 4 Expression. Your destiny is to express wonderful organization skills with your ever practical, down-to-earth approach. You are the kind of person who is always willing to work those long, hard hours to push a project through to completion. A patience with detail allows you to become expert in fields such as building, engineering, and all forms of craftsmanship. Your abilities to write and teach may lean toward the more technical and detailed. In the arts, music will likely be your choice. Artistic talents may also appear in such fields as horiculture and floral arrangement, as well. Many skilled physicians and especially surgeons have the 4 Expression.
The positive attitudes of the 4 Expression yield responsibility; you are one who no doubt, fulfills obligations, and is highly systematic and orderly. You are serious and sincere, honest and faithful. It is your role to help and you are required to do a good job at everything you undertake.
If there is too much 4 energies present in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes of the number 4. The obligations that you face may tend to create frustration and feelings of limitation or restriction. You may sometimes find yourself nursing negative attitudes in this regard and these can keep you in a rather low mood. Avoid becoming too rigid, stubborn, dogmatic, and fixed in your opinions. You may have a tendency to develop and hold very strong likes and dislikes, and some of these may border on the classification of prejudice. The negative side of 4 often produces dominant and bossy individuals who use disciplinarian to an excess. These tendencies must be avoided. Finally, like nearly all with 4 Expression, you must keep your eye on the big picture and not get overly wrapped up in detail and routine.
Your Soul Urge number is: 4
A Soul Urge number of 4 means:
With the Soul Urge or Motivation number of 4 you are likely to strive for a stable life. You tend to follow a rather orderly pattern and systematic approach in your endeavors. You have an inner desire to serve others in a methodical and diligent manner. You want to be in solid, conventional, and well-regulated activities, and you are somewhat disturbed by innovation and erratic or sudden changes. Excellent at organizing, systematizing, and managing, you have a way of establishing order and maintaining it. You are responsible, reliable and in the final analysis, practical. Highly analytical, you can see your way through all sorts of situations and generally have a clear understanding of the issues. You are a very honest, sincere, and conscientious individual.
The negative side of the 4 is rigid, stubborn and somewhat narrow-minded. There is a tendency to hide feelings, or to really not be aware of real feelings. Avoid being too rigid and stubborn in your thinking, and try to always see the big picture rather than becoming to involved with the detail. Don't be afraid to take a chance once in awhile.
Your Inner Dream number is: 9
An Inner Dream number of 9 means:
You dream of being creative, intellectual, and universal; the selfless humanitarian. You understand the needy and want to help them. You would love to be a person people count on for support and advice.

Just to get it off my front page
Posted 16 years agoSo yeah, gigantic post on front page was gigantic. Mostly posting this just to trim things down a bit.
It's been less than 2 weeks into the semester, and already I'm falling into my procrastination habits, not doing things until the night before. Should probably work on that...

Stolen memes yay
Posted 16 years agoRest of AC con report on my LJ, ask me for the link if you know me.
Stolen from Rhunya
Rules:
1) Post these rules
2) Post 8 true things about yourself
1. I'm deathly afraid of what other people think of me, at any given moment, by any particular person walking by. I've gotten better about it in the past few years, but it still affects much of what I do when I'm in public. Even if I'm hundreds of miles away, in a place with people I'll never see again for the rest of my life, I fear being judged. It's actually pretty annoying.
2. I procrastinate, lulz. Entire school papers done the night beforehand, Eagle Project done with just a few short weeks left until my 18th birthday, the works. I'll do better if someone is relying on me to do my work, but when my only motivation comes from myself the procrastination kicks in full force.
3. I prefer hugging to kissing. It just seems more emotional to me, for some reason. Cuddling therefore is awesome, for it's basically a constant hug! Who can argue with that?
4. This entry has taken me 3 hours to type up, since I've been dividing my attention between 5 different conversations at once. Truth.
5. Before I die, I want to go skydiving and bunjee jumping at least once. Just to say I'd done it.
6. I'm constantly concerned about the fact that I'm overweight, yet never enough to actually do something productive about it. See procrastination issue in Fact #2.
7. My elbows can bend farther than they're supposed to. Yup.
8. Getting involved in the local furry community here has probably been one of the better things to happen to my life. It's had its ups and downs, but on the whole I'm glad I left home one night under the guise of "going to hang out with Austin for a few hours" and met the people I've now become close friends with. Life takes you funny places sometimes.
Aaaand just for the sake of it, since I'm procrastinating before bed, here's another, again stolen from Rhunya.

AC so far
Posted 16 years agoSo yeah, AC. The drive was horrible, for several reasons. Ran out of gas in Tennessee with no open gas stations, got stuck behind a suicide jumper at a bridge we could not get a workaround from, and had to drive the last 3 hours with the help of a very large cup of coffee. Still, I made it. The fact that the entire guild was in our room last night kinda sucked, when I really really really just wanted to go to bed, but meh. I got my 13 hours of sleep, and I'm good now.
The printers here are nonexistent. I basically have black-and-white blotches to give to people as "reference pictures." Joy.
And now a message from Cinders: I FUGGIN HATE ALL OF YOU. Thank you.
And now I'm about to be strangled unless I provide Intarwebz access to the very hateful Cinders sitting next to me, so yeah. Adios.

And now a message from Cinders: I FUGGIN HATE ALL OF YOU. Thank you.

Writer's block
Posted 16 years agoHm, so it took a full month to write another 2,000 words. Good thing I'm not going into this for a career or anything.
I so want to post what I've got, but at the same time I don't even have a clue where I'm going to go from here, and I want to have SOME idea of where the plot is heading before posting anything. This could take a while...

New story perhaps?
Posted 16 years agoMight be jumping the gun on this a little bit, but I've started working on another story. Will be another Pokemon fanfic since I'm lame and can't take the time to create my own universe, but I'm hoping for it to require no knowledge of Pokemon whatsoever to understand. Only 1,000 words in, so I've barely scratched the surface, but I'm hoping this one doesn't take half a year to write like Neko did.
Of course, I might just be finding ever more creative ways of procrastinating on studying for my finals. Which start tomorrow. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--

Awkward questions
Posted 16 years agoI have to say, I'm glad my mom stopped opening my bank statements as of lately ("We give you spending money so I have the right to see what you're spending it on" etc). Would not want to have to answer the question of "Why is there a $35 charge for a Furry Weekend Atlanta on here? ...and how come you've never told us the name of this anime convention you're going to next weekend?"
Lulz. In related news, my bank fails for taking two months to process my decision to switch to an online-only bank statement.
So yeah, FWA should be lots of fun, even if I am going to be by myself the first two days. I'll find things to do I'm sure.
