16 Years
Posted 4 months agoToday is my 16th "Furry Anniversary"! The day I signed up for an FA account back in 2008. It's astonishing to think I've been a furry this long, officially over half of my life at this point! Though I was interested in the fandom before this date, having a single day I can say I "officially" became a furry is handy. Here's to 16 more, and then some!

MFF 2021
Posted 2 years agoFurries picking up where they had left off in 2019 as if nothing had even happened was incredible. Hugs, enthusiastic greetings, new connections, it was balm for my soul. I have lots of good photos to go through and share. For the first time back, it couldn't have been much better.

My apologies. Life has been tumultuous.
Lots of changes coming very quickly.

Making a Move
Posted 5 years agoAt this point in time, I’ve been unemployed for more than six months.
With much thought and consideration, I’ve decided to turn some pages and move.
I’ve decided on Phoenix, Arizona as my destination due to the climate and job opportunities available there as opposed to here in Northern Illinois.
I’m excited to begin this new chapter of my life!

In Loving Memory
Posted 5 years agoMy cat of 14 years passed this morning. He was suffering a very rapid decline in health due to kidney failure, and the decision was made to euthanize him.
I don't quite have all I want to say about him on hand. But I will say he had a long life, and a good life, and he made our lives better. He will be dearly and sorely missed.

Ten Years
Posted 6 years agoTen years.
One whole decade.
That's how long I've been a furry, as of this date.
A lot has changed since way back then, both for me, and the fandom.
Would I do it all again? Absolutely. It's had such a positive impact on my life, and I can't separate myself from the furry fandom at this point. It's done so much good for me, given me so much, and created so much for me.
Without it? I really don't know who I'd be. This fandom has helped me not only stay alive, but helped me grow, and ultimately thrive as a person.
I owe the fandom so much.
Here's to another ten years.
Thank you for being a part of it!

Concert Night
Posted 6 years agoWent last night on a drive up to Minneapolis with my best friend Alex to go and see Power Trip, Obituary, and Exodus. I left around noon and just got home about a half-hour ago (~5:42AM). Was well worth the trip!!

My first time going, too~ I'm really excited.
Rooming with synthwolf and my non-fur cousin at the Westin!
Looking forward to seeing many friends, and hopefully even fursuiting for the first time in public!

Short Update Journal
Posted 7 years agoI'm still active here. Not dead, which is good.
Things are going well for me so far. Work isn't too hard though I've been on 9-hour shifts for a hell of a long time. I'm in a good place mentally, physically I'm trying to get better sleep and eating less, too. Overeating isn't doing me or my wallet any favors.
I have two fursuits in the works at present. One by fbsuits of a heavy metal themed wolf, and one by trishabeisam of a female skunk~
I'm really excited for both!
Things are okay, which for me is saying something.
Hope you all are doing well as well~

Anthrocon-bound!
Posted 7 years agoLooks like I'm going to Anthrocon this year!
I invited a very open-minded cousin of mine to go with me and he said yes, so this will be a first for both of us!
Very excited~
