Well, been putting off... everything for a while. school stuff, lj updates, pictures from parties and cons, and videos. So gunna see if I can sum everything up here.

Halloween party was a blast! Attendees were me, V.V., LennyMutt, Greypaws, Goldenwolf, Zerodog, Sage Silvermist, Zack, Char, Sheppy, and a few other furs. First night just movies and hanging out and food and some light drinking. Second night (Halloween), got fursuited up and went out to The Summit mall for some pictures and being silly. Met up with some other fursuiters and furs right before we started to leave, then went over to Joe Muggs fursuiting more and for cooling down. Then headed back home before the party in CurlyTail. Fursuited, danced, lots of drinks and snacks, went on until like 3 or 4 (daylight savings time switched the hours). Next day ate lunch out and more hanging out til everybody eventually went home.

MFF was awesome too. Stuffed car with 4 fursuits, 1 suitcase, 2 backpacks, 2 duffle bags, pillow, blanket, and V.V., Sheppy, Nuka, and me. Had to take our fursuits out of their totes and put them in garbage bags since I missed judged the space I had in the trunk. 11 hour drive up to the con. Discovered "Crunk" energy drink in Tennessee. The first energy drink I've found that doesn't have the "energy drink taste". Got the grape flavored one and saw it had Horny Goatweed in it. well, an hour after drinking it, it worked; I had a rock hard boner from the Tennessee border until we parked at the hotel in Wheeling, IL. Got there Thursday around 1:30 and left around noon Monday. In our room we had Vincent, Sheppy, Nuka, Podomy, Yukon Wolf, Twitch da Wuff, and me. Ate at an awesome restaurant Thursday called Buca di Bippe (or something like that). It had ultra big servings, done family style. Had plenty of booze up in the room. but still had to make several package store runs to either replace or add stuff cuz of roomie needs hehe. Mostly made Celtic Crushes for everyone. by Saturday went to store and got more ingredients and made like 5 bottles worth of the drink for everyone. Got to fursuit a lot. but didn't get to do any games or panels. But still fun getting to hang out with some people. Dances sucked for the most part; at least the times we went down to see them. Saturday (or Friday, can't quite remember) drug Sheppy around a bit cuz he was getting dangerously drunk and took him to Claim Jumper to try and get some food in him. I brought an extra bodysuit (my older one) with me for the chance to have a nice and clean body for Sunday; however, it ended up not being on me for that long cuz its a lot thicker fur than my new body, so after an hour in it i was feeling all slimy and ick inside and a lot hotter. My New bodysuit allows some air to flow through it, but the old one I didnt feel any difference even when I went outside in the cold. So by the end of the night stepped back in my newer used bodysuit, which still really wasnt wet or anything; it just looked like it was worn all con. the con wasnt really cold this year; then and up to the con the low was always withing 1 to 2 degrees of Birnimgham, Alabama. and a lot of times Birmingham was like a degree colder. Finally got a bit of snuggle time late late Sunday night. Was a very good feeling con, getting there so early Thursday made it seem like we were there almost a week haha, so didn't really have any PCD afterwords (got money's worth). Do miss people and hanging out. Don't get much of a chance to be around that much fuzziness down here since we arnt one of the big furry stops. We are always open for snuggles heheh.

Thanksgiving was quite enjoyable. My first time fixing it for the family. Had my mom teaching me a few of her dishes and all. Had ham, green bean casserole, English peas, cornbread stuffing, regular and orange crushed cranberry sauce, crescent rolls, sweet potato casserole, green beans, black-eyed peas, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, giblet gravy, deviled eggs, chicken casserole (Vincent made), pumpkin pie, pecan pie, fresh sugared strawberry slices, lemon drop cake, forest nut brownies... and I forget what else. Had my mom, my aunt, Vincent, Sheppy, Lucky, and me. I cooked way too much lol. We all agreed to pass out afterwords which we promptly did and later that night I blended the strawberries that remained and made everyone strawberry daiquiris.

And... just updated the CurlyTail bar contents as u can read in previous post.

Well, updates for now: obviously I didn't get to go to Anime Weekend Atlanta like I was hoping to due to money issues, which starting this next week will be free and clear again finally (buying and fixing up a car really sucks financially).  Got the car all fixed up accept now have a nail in the tire in an unpatchable place and found I don't have a spare in my trunk, previous owners must have been asses. so been driving with the nail for a while, but plan to get a spare and a new tire before going to MFF; maybe this coming weekend.  Planning on just going ahead and getting another aluminum rim for the spare so that I dont have to worry if I crack a rim, just switch them and drive on.  Sheppy has moved back into the house with me and taken Vincent's room, meaning Vincent is splitting my room now (my room is a total mess and clutter from both our stuffs being compiled into one room lol).  Also a new friend Railo wolf has moved in as well; sweet guy.

Planning to do another Halloween party this year.  Just now I have a few sleeping arangment and other issues, and more people wanting to come lol.  My sister is wanting her own party in a different part of the house and in driveway, so now I have to have most of our guests park up at the Publix 2 minutes up the road and us bus people back and forth as needed.  There are now 5 furs living here, so our parking is already close to packed.  Also, there is already over 18 people (if you include the 5 living here) that are planning to come, so the list is definately set heheh; maybe next year we will all rent a party room at a hotel or something.  And its gettin kinda expencive to keep up these parties, so, for those that are coming, Im not saying its required, but if anybody wants to donate any cash or bring some replacement booze to the party, it would be greatly appriciated.  As for the booze, further down in the journals I have a list of what I have in the bar for parties, so just pick something out of there if you want to help me keep it stocked for the parties (thanks so much if you do).   Also, for those coming, do bring the minimum you need to a weekend, since will need floor space for people staying over.
This years planning for Halloween weekend should be a little more thought out.  Friday when some people will arrive will be planning most the at base activities. get together, eat out, maybe movies (in home or out), and dance and party and all (if feel up to it).  Saturday, being Halloween, we are allowed to go out in fursuit around stores and clubs or whatever and it all be cool. so that day and night plan to be out fursuiting and costuming and taking pictures and videos and all.  then after home to chill for a bit and maybe another party. Sunday mostly a settling down day just to hang and maybe eat out again.  Will give more details closer to the date.

Well, not too many people know, but this weekend marks mine and Vincent's 3 year aniversary.  I'm gunna have to postpone stuff til next weekend since V.V. has been in Virginia since Thursday.  In the past I have made posts when he has left for a while the day of, but this time just now getting around to it.  Kinda keeping myself busy running roomies around some, but still miss him a lot.  I'm fixing steaks tonight and hope he makes it home in time to have some.

Well, birthday went well.  Got 2 cakes, one from sister (got some shoes from her too, and one for the weekend had everyone over (that one was an ice cream cake hehe).  Vincent and Char chipped in and bought me the Aggressor TriLED which deffinitly came in handy for the party that weekend, so woot!  Had some furs over for that weekend for celibrate year 28 furry style; all together there was me, Vincent, Char, Sheppy, Lucky Wolf, Lennymutt, GreyPaws, Frisbee, Sage Silvermist, Golden Wolf, Zerodog, and Rivet.  Couldn't make it too big, by request, but still ended up biger than I planned.  It was hot a lot of the nights and rainy, so only donned the fursuits saturday night.
Mostly just hung out Friday.  Ate at Sumo Japanese Steakhouse, went to Walmart and got stuff for the party, watched some videos and the FanBoys movie at home.  Had Lucky, sheppy, Frisbee, and Lennymutt, and GreyPaws over Friday.  Also got an awesome badge from Lennymutt ***********
Saturday most got to sleep in late and hung out in my room mostly, more arived and and then it was grilling time.  I fixed some ribs, hamburgers, deerburgers, and hotdogs. afterwards, showered and fursuited up and went out to Club Curlytail and set up the lights and music and mixed some drinks and all and got to fursuit danging hehehe. After all were done after several hours partying, went back inside and de-suited and hung out in the den and watched I Love You Man and a few other things on the big screan.  Once again retreated to my room to hang out for hours before finally going to bed.

Sunday more just a hang and lounge day, was fun but eventually everyone had to leave.

Also, the following weekend, had more guests, Silentwolf, who got here saturday and had to leave sunday. and Nuka Nuki, who arived saturday and left tuesday.  This visit was a bit more low key, but still fun.  Ate at Pablo's Saturday (nice upscale mexican resturant) and saw G.I. Joe at the rave theator.  Made up some new drinks too for this gathering hehe.  Also started drawing a bit again, trying to get back into it.

On another wonderful note: FINALLY GOT A CAR!
After going since May 6th without a car, finally have a car to drive.  Still needs front roters and breaks replaced (inner and outer front struts too, but cant afford that atm, and I can go a while without replacing those). Otherwise the car is great.  Its a 2001 dark blue VW Passat with only 94k miles on it.  I dont have pictures of it yet, but here are some links of what it looks like:

Only main difference if mine has a better sound and sterio and cream leather seats.  Has a ton of features too!  Mmmm... heated seats....

Anyways, signing off for now.

Ok, first. lets talk about Anthrocon:
Left around 12:30 AM on Thursday. drove for like ever.  Had Vincent, Frisbee, Char, and me in the car.  We were caravaning with sage in her van.  Got there around 3:30 PM.  Stood in the lobbyfor a good long while waiting for all our roomies to get together so we could pay for the room.  Finally got some of them together, headed to room #521.  Crashed for a bit.  Frisbee and Char had to stay in our room for Thursday night while waiting for their roomies to arive.    In our room, outside of Frisbee and and Char, we have me and Vincent, Sage, Cinders, Nuka Nuki, and Crash Fennec. 
(dang Im bored now and not really in the mood anymore to write this. will start back again when feeling it)
This is the first con that we've gotten to fursuit dance on Thursday. got tired quick, bu it was still nice change from the long ride.  Just partialed for the Thursday night dance. but loved the music; rocked out!  The dances were good for the most part, accept for the trance and drum and base(not my thing... cuz I actually expect it to have actual drum and base in it lol).  Dancing in fursuit is about my favorate part of going to furcons.
Had plenty of booze at the con. made sure to bring enough for a couple parties.  http://www.furaffinity.net/full/2571962/
(though either friday or saturday night a whooole bunch of furs I didnt know came in the room and started helping themselves.... I have one major rule if Im providing booze.... only I serve it. You can have free booze, but you dont take it upon yourself to hand it out to yourself and your friends)  Usually had a little beit before the dance, headed out for fun, and came back and had a few more drinks settling in for the night.
Got a bit of art at the con.  Got one commission from Keihound.  Printer wasnt working before we left, so didnt have any reference pictures for bring; so I just left her my ipod and taught her how to use it so she could see mine and Vincent's markings.  I really need to get a good, correct reffernce sheet for mine and Vincent's fursonas.
Hmmm, I waited too long to do this, cant remember enough interesting or note-worth from the con to type up here.  I had fun, great meeting everybody, loved the dancing and fursuited a bit too much hehe.  about none of the food in pittsberg agreed with my stomach. so stuck in the bathroom a lot when not in fursuit >.<;  I really prefer not to eat out at a con.  Takes up time I could be fursuiting or running around.  I know people say that that is time to hangout with people, but I much rather hang with them in the hallway or a room.  A resturant is just too isolated from the con to me I guess; sounds weird.
On the way home, about 3.5 hours from it, around 11:30 PM Vincent's car ran over something in the road and tore up the underside of his car. we were able to pull into a reststop and check it out.  The under covers was cracked and bent back and scraping the road and against the wheel. while they went to the bathroom, I was finally able to get it torn the rest of the way off (hard enough since most of it wasnt torn, just bent. and had nothing to ply it with, just finally ripped it at the bolts and tamps holding it on), somewhere along the trip, Vincent also lost his driver's side hubcap.

Ok, non-con stuffs:
Well, still have no car.  Insurance company only gave me like $725 for my car that was worth 10k cuz they had to pay the loan people off first, so it wasnt really a help at all.  hard to hold it with bills, so not really able to save up  anything yet.  So for now driving around a previously hardly used beamer convertable *smirks* poor me lol.  Just can't use it to carry much, so cant really travel with it.
Having a get together kinda with just a few people near by to celibrate me getting older haha.  Most will just be there Saturday, but a few will stay the weekend. Kinda just thought of it this month haha.  Gunna have a BBQ and stuffs.  Maybe some dancing and all the acuterments.
I have an idea for a commission, though its big.  Though Ive seen artists draw raves and such with like 10 or so characters, though only 2-3 were the commissionors characters, whilest the others were just made up by the artist.  I'm wanting to have a party scean done of Club CurlyTail, with like 9-11 or so individual characters in ir showing.  Im wanting several friends in it that have actually been to the building and partied with us.  (heh, 9 if was kinda a yiffy commission, 11 if was gunna make it mostly clean).  Im wanting it to be prity nice, showing background too.  I could color it if it would be easier.  and then maybe blow it up and actually put it in the club building.  I think it would be awesome hehe.  Anyways, out for now.

Well, my sister's wedding is tomorrow and I've been running around getting gifts and decorations for the rehersal dinner in a few hours.  Also, while we were out got more booze to add to the bar lol.  So just add these to the list below.

Roaring 20's Tommy Gun vodka  (Vincent wanted it for the bottle)
Canadian Hunter Canadian whisky (got it cuz it was cheep, and had huskies on it lol. but turns out to be pritty smooth and good)
Grey Goose Le Citron vodka
FireFly Peach Tea vodka
Lunazul Reposado tequila (it was on sale, or just out on display and came with a shotglass hehehe.  I bought some Patron too, and after tasting them both, I like the Lunazul better)
(and bought some more Patron and Smirnoff black cherry vodka)
Jose Quervo Especial Silver Tequila Plata (got this for cuz my sister wanted me to fix lime and straberry margaritas for the wedding guests)

I decided to take a pic of the booze out back in the outbuilding playfully called "Club CurlyTail". Looks rather boring without the decorations and lighting and fog and strobes. Usually about 15-20 of these bottles go with me to a con to entertain roomates and friends.

And yes, the entire middle shelf is all rum.

P.S. No, I'm not an alcoholic. If I was, I wouldn't be able to collect so much. I buy alcohol to entertain and have parties (and now for kinda seeing how big I can get it)

Well, posting this again since my bar has grown a bit.  This is what I keep in the building outside my house playfully called "Club CurlyTail"  (might be getting a sign for the building soon, though one day hope to get a neon sign of something for it).  Constantly adding to it, and if anybody ever wants to donate somthing, feel free (heh, I might want to go for some record or something)

Ok, another update time.
Back from FWA (obviously). I enjoyed the new hotel very much.  Awesome service at this one; not only did the maids make the beds, but we had oure junk and clothes around the room and beds, and aperently they moved them and made the beds and set the stuff back on the beds in the same positions and order they were before... at least I thought that was neat.  Love the way everything was layed out; everything pritty much in a central location.  though I also kinda miss the mystique of the old hotel and the 'traveling" required to get to different events and such. and more walking u get to meet more people I think.  This con was very lax.  The only official event I attended was the parade and the dances.  I did host a dinner for FYL in the sted of a friend who was originally hosting it not being able to make it.  I love fursuit dancing at a con!  Its my favorate part.   Though, the last few cons have had so so music when I attended.  I seem to normally miss the good DJs.  Though for more modern club style dancing, I have nothing really to offer.   P.S.  just for anyone curious, these are all the dance forms I know how to do and have practiced over the years:
Ballet, Jaz, tap,  (yes, all those were things my mom started me in), line dancing, figure skating, pair skating, swing, tango, ballroom, medieval and renassance court dancing, russian court dancing, scottish country dancing (did this professionally for about 8 years), and some highland and irish.  There might be more but can't think of them at this time. and what does all this mean at a con?  Basically that I can keep time....  Unless there is a swing dance, then I get ultra excited and wish I could find someone that knows how to swing too.  and for the record, that has only happened like 3 songs at the cons i have been too...
I can do a little better if the con dance set is made up of real songs and top 100s or clasics or.. dang it..... real songs with real words!!  How can I even attempt to interperate feeling into movement if there are no words and no change in the music?? I'm fine with mixing songs, but personally I cant do anything with what I call "ringtone techno": repetitive, worrdless (for most part), not a single real or synthisized instrament sound...   Ok,... I am done ranting.  Basically, I need to learn break dancing or something to get more modernish so I can not feel as useless in a dance (but not enough time free to really learn it on own, and feel retarded just getting vids and doing stuff in front of a mirror).

Had a few furs over at my place at different times or another; really starting to enjoy weekend company.  Mostly Frisbee coming over (he's been over like 5 times now or so.  I need to put another shelf in my bar for the booze.  the wall length shelf I have in there has the booze too cramped, and I want to add another so I dont have 3-4 layers of booze deep, and to just make sure nothing falls.  Might make the second shelf just for rum hahaha; I have 25 different varieties of rum as is.  An idea over me having a Cinco di Mayo party obviously didnt run through.  I just wasn't feeling it. maybe another year.  Heck, when may the 5th did come I wasnt awear of it 'til like 5pm at work when someone mentioned it; didnt even have a drink.

Okay, had a wreck last Sunday.  All Started with tornado warnings, hale, tons of rain, and the sky gettin really dark around 2pm.  Vincent, Frisbee and I were out eating some Chinese food watching all this through the window, hoping that a tree wouldnt fall on my car and that the hale wouldnt dent it, then the power went out in the resturant and for a moment it felt like the wind was gunna rip the cieling off the resturant. then we started worrying about our dogs outside and got the rest to go.  the wind was a little better and some lightened up by the time I started driving (we were only 5 minutes from my house).  After going over a hill and turning a corner on some nice wet road (and I was only going like 30) saw a suv up ahead that had stopped due to a branch falling in the road.  When I tried to stop my breaks locked up and I started hydroplaining (I have standard, not antilock breaks) and kept going to the suv.  I would normally push on the gas to turn the wheels to try to stop again, but didnt have the space.  I turned into the other lane but another car was coming my way, to avoid hitting that car I turned into the ditch, which imediately flipped my car on it's side then slide about 10-15 feet, stopping just before a 20 foot deep ditch (only 10 feet ahead of us).

And now, atm, I'm sick.  hopefully just a cold.  Sypmptoms are weak most the time with medicine.  Though it threatens to turn into an ear infections, which those hurt like hell and deffinately not looking foward to if it occurs.  I'm just taking over the counter stuff atm to avoid having to get some scripts.  Hopefully, it will be gone by Monday.

Well, had an interesting chat with another fur tonight.  Recently been talking with a few other furs that are majorly into chemistry, physics, biology and other science disiplines  Its one of the few things I forgot how much I loved and missed until I got talking with other people of like mind.  You know how "comic nerds", "moter furs", and WoW freaks talk about junk and terminology that makes outsiders shake their heads at the fanaticizim.... well science nerds can do it too lol.  Here is the convo I had:

canuslupus2002: nods
Waya: heheh, we need to all get together one day and do something..... sciency...
Waya: yeah... that was dumb
Waya: lol

heheh, talking chemistry makes me not feel so left out.  I dont have much to offer furry really.  All my years of dancing is traditional, historical, or ball room and doesnt work for club style dancing at cons, I really rarely do my art, I dont care about motor fur stuff, Im not a gamer, and I am very minor when talking computer stuff, not a ddr fur or comic person.  So its nice to actually find someone to talk with about one of the few things I really love.  I just feel like Im getting dumb over time.  Kinda like not using a language u learn, it dies a little bit over time.

Well,  time for catch everybody up.  As for the party, Went awesome, ended up lasting 5 days haha.  Had 4 people puke at on the main night, so guess it was a good party lol.  Had lots of fun and enjoyed the company; helps a lot while waiting during the long gaps between cons.  Had about 14 people in all on New Years eve, and a few more the days after.  And thank you to everyone that brought snacks and drinks and stuff to help.
Hear are some videos from the party:

Otherwise, been having some local furs over a bit and eating out a lot now haha.  Fun to finally have some furs close.  I love having furs over in general whenever I can.  I'm off Fridays through Sundays so company and cons work out very well hehe.
Went back to my campus a week ago, gunna audit some chemistry and organic this fall to get back in the flow of dealing with chemical math so I can take a few interance exams and itehr get in med or graduate school.  Not sure if Im gunna be able to do cons or chat or be online much if any.  I need to take this serious.  The class will be easy since I already know all the definitions, trends, and mechanisims, but I just have gotten out of the habbit of the physical chemistry math and formulas, and that's major on the entrance tests.

Also, the cons we are planning onattending this year are FWA and AC, because of future schooling can't gaurentee mcuh beyond that.  This will be my 3rd FWA (which was my first con).  I just can't wait for it hehe.  I NEED TO FURSUIT!!

Ok, here's an update on the party (previous journal post).
Details:
Where:     Birmingham, Alabama
When:      ~5:00ish (when people start arriving) (though people can arrive earlier or later) December 31st 2008.
                 until people get ready to leave (I have to go back to work on January 5th)
Quick details:  Snacks, dining out, ultra full bar and booze, dancing, games, music, movies, fursuiting (for those that have them), fireworks,
                 lounging, snuggles, lounging and whatever (basically an ultra mini con without the elevator/room mixups/fan boy-girl/room fees crap,  
                 to help deal with the lull between cons haha)

Updates:  The fog machine works! hahaha
                  Also bought the 1st Edition Disney Scene It.  So will actually have an version that we are likely to know.
                  More booze than before haha
                  Fire pit outside

Tenative Schedual:
     5:00ish     People arrive (hang out, snacks) (earlier the better)
     7:00ish     Head out for dinner
     9:00ish     back and relax and chat a bit, and then maybe head down to CurlyTail for drinks.
     After everyone's food has settled then we can suit up and head to play games and dance.

Would like to get more video this time of games and dance and whatever else can think of.

ATM, looks like it is filling up fast; got a possible 14-15 people there.  So might be needing to close it up haha, but we'll see.

Ok, Once again, gunna have a furry party.  This time it's gunna be this New Year's Eve!  So I have to make it bigger than the Halloween party.  So once again, Club CurlyTail will be open heheh.

Here's some videos from the Halloween party:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z6Etc3vLag&feature=related

Once again, there will be tons of booze, snacks, drinks, music and dancing, fursuiting, games, fun, and now, fireworks (any of these you would like to add or contribute to would be awesome too).  Will have a DJ this time (Golden Wolf).  The dance of course takes place seproate from the house in the outbuilding (last party only used a 3rd of the building for dancing, so can definately have more people this time hehe).  Main get together will be at 5:30pm central New Years Eve Birmingham, Alabama; though if ya want, people can come earlier or later; even a day earlier haha.  Many people are planning to stay through that weekend, and we have 2 extra bed rooms and other rooms for floor space.  I'd suggest bringing a sleeping bag and warm clothes if you are not suiting (Club CurlyTail has no heat to accomidate fursuiters).
Building is carpeted, has an ass full bar (that has grown since Halloween) , blacklight, fog machine (I will try getting it to work again heheh), strobe, tv, dvd player, ambiance ceiling, and other junk XP.

Will most likely go out to eat in a group around 7 or so.  don't worry, plenty of time for dancing and games, I think one night lasted 'til 4:20am hahaha.  If staying, will probly watch movies, other games, and fursuit more, maybe go to parks or something and fursuit for pics and vids.  Will find something to do.
Hope can get people.  Already have about 7 yeses and 3 maybes.  Suit up people and get down here lol.
Any interest?

Ok, time for another update!  Just got back from MFF.  set aside the long ass drive there and back (road up with Cooper Faust) and I really liked it.  My new fursuit and the cold outside, allowed me to suit a lot more; other than going to resturants, 90% of the time I was not in my room I was in fursuit hehe.  We got there about 12pm Thursday and got room 1318.  Got to see several friends at the con; some meeting for the first time.  In our room: Jake Kurai, Kokoes, Photo Fox Xero, Axil, Vincent Valentino, and me.  And some others on and off.
Finished making me a harness on the drive up to the con, but missed the husky social which was one of the main reasons I was making it haha.  Took a little over 200 pics, most while I was in fursuit, so not a lot of pics of me haha.  Didn't go to any room parties (as usual haha).  Had plenty of booze I brought for our room.  and bought two new bottles of rum while there (Captain Morgan's and Tommy Bahama rum), On Saturday (I think, finished half a 5th of strong homemade Mojito and 8 shots of Captain Morgans, then when down in suit to walk around and dance hehehe (was a little buzzed heheh).
Anyways, fursuited LOTS.  And loved hanging outside the hotel in fursuit, kept us real cool and a lot easier to remain in suit for those that dont have much of a heat tolerance.  Dance was ok, I think I missed the good one.  I don't really care for the glowstick techno and ultra repeditive home made stuff.  I like clasic con dances, top 10, clasics, and freaking songs with words!  When u have words u can dance a lot better cuz u can better match moves with the feelings and story of the song.  Got to hang out some with several friends for a bit.  So bacisally, any con that I get to be with friends, fursuit, and fursuit dance is a good con to me, as long as the hotel doesnt turn the a/c off haha.  Anyways, that's it for now.

Well, it finally happened.  My parents aparently know I'm gay or bi or whatever.  There was no big argument or them asking or anything like that; just basically my dad having me sit down to talk about stuff for my party and then it being mentioned during it.  It's just one of those things that it wasn't expected and I tried to keep calm about it.  It was hinted in the short conversation that one of them found out from seeing evidence in my room (art, or something probily, and I have know idea how long they have known).  He didn't act like it was a big deal or that and was nice about it and hugged me afterwards (which the fact it was which the fact it was such a soft handling of it made me feel worse and ment that it's been long enough for them to come to terms with it).
1) I didn't ever want to come out.  I didn't intend to stay like this, I was hoping to drop it someday and get to a normal life.  I want kids, I want a wife, I want to get back in regularly with my church... Always hoped on turning back someday, but with being out about it, it makes it harder to go back, I've lost my safety net of sneeking back into a straight life,
2) I know it hurts them, even if they try not to show it.  Another thing that hurts me, is how my mom keeps saying around my coworkers every now and then, ieven at times in front of me, that she keeps hoping she'll get grandchildren soon and how she's really looking forward to them one day. which means everytime she said that, she knew... in her mind, she knew (or thought she knew) that it was a hopeless hope.  and that everytime she said it, she was reminded of it.  and that in itself hurts me to think that my mom is upset or hurting.

I can't really express how upset and how much my mind is racing about this in type.  I cried a bit when I left the room a couple times.  I know Im stupid cuz for most people it would be great if their parents didn't get upset openly about it and all.  I'm gunna be thinking about this every time I see them now....  I just never wanted it found out in the first place, I never wanted it to be taken this far... 

And I'm not saying I don't love Vincent; I do whole heartedly.  I have told him many times before that I will never leave him and all I want is to make him the happiest person in the world.  And I mean it all and always will


And just to clear the air, I'm not just full out gay (but this there would be no point explaining to my parents), more bi, and actually with a preference for women, but just none show interest.  I am however, deeply attracted to the furry anthro males, whether it be the art or in fursuit; the fursuit being more the embodiment of the art.  A regular nude human male body, I'm really not attracted to at all, and if I walk into a room with some guy walking around naked it, I will probily want to leave.  Just not attractive sexually to me.  I can apriciate that the look good; heck, I'm an artist.  But wrap them in a fursuit, and I absolutely love it (if it's a good suit heheh).  Also, the only way I would really want to play around, is if suits were involved.  Ive tried playing with non-suiters, or suiters without the suit on, and have major problems either getting, or staying hard for it, and really can't get off at all from it.  but in one case, when they put the head back on, I was finally able to get up again.  It is definately a requirment for me to enjoy it, at least a partial.  and even for me to enjoy gropes and stuff, one of us, or at least me, have to be in fursuit.

Ok, lets see....

Got most of the lighting up (need to buy one more strand of purple lights), still need to nail a few things for the surge protectors.  Gunna move the boose out there today (haha, that will take a while).
I have red, purple, and blue lights strung along the ceiling, a strobe light, fog machine, black light, and a nice speaker system to be hooked up to my laptop. Got the floor carpeted, a nice chair, table, lamp table set up in it.  Most the lighting will be from the decorations, will only turn on the lamp if needed.  Been thinking about setting up a mirror in there with some black light-activated paint and write "Club CurlyTail" on it hahaha.  Its an old style oval mirror with a heavy frame.  I really need a rectangle or square or more plain big mirror that would be suitable for that haha.

Anyways, the Goal is this: (times not definate, but just to get an idea)

Get people to start coming over around 5:30 or 6-ish.  Visit for a bit and maybe have some snacks, chat, view some internet stuffs and whatever.
6:45-ish everybody with a fursuit can suit up and we can head out to the summit, park, or where ever the majority votes to go for suiting, mischief, video and picture oppertunities (heck, might even eatout in suit if people are up for it).
Probily make it back to the house 8 - 8:45.  Settle for a bit then move to the out building for some games and drinks.  I have Twister (always fiun in suit), Apples to Apples, Scene It, and what ever else anyone wants to bring.
About 10-ish will start the dancing, I have the out building set up like a club, but if the majority wants we can go to a real club insted.

If you have a fursuit, bring it please heheh.  Otherwise, another costume.
It's gunna be in Birmingham, Alabama on Halloween night.  Message me and I'll get u more details.

Well, think I about got together what I'm gunna do for Halloween; party at my house!  Gunna have a few furs and friends over at my place.  There will be drinks and snacks (and whatever else anyone wants to bring with them) and of course boose from my bar heheh.  If they have a fursuit, then BRING IT!  I'm gunna see what games I can get (definately twister hehe) and other things to entertain.  Watch a movie (or if someone brings a rediculous porno we can all laugh at, that works too haha) or anything a guest brings that everyone agrees with.  Then will come the choice: go out to a club and fursuit, or dance at my place.  Have a seporate building (that I still need to clean out this weekend) that I'm going to deck out like a dance and we can all party there for free.

Just bought a few things for it today: fog machine and accessories, strobe, nice sized black light, lots of stringed lights to hang from the ceiling (purple, red, and blue).  Still thinking of getting some rope lights to line the edges of the floor and ceiling with.  Gunna either borrow or buy some big speakers and either play a dance mix I set up, or a BBF one I have.

Anyway, hope this all comes together.  Still got to work on the room.  Have to clean out all the storage, either floor it, paint the floor, or just set a big ass rug or two there, maybe insulate the walls (to hold the noise in heheh), maybe paint the interior totally, set furnature back in, TV, bar, and all the lighting and accessories I planned.  but I have some time before Halloween.  I have 6 or 7 people so far (not including me obviously) I that say they are coming and hope to obviously raise it.  Will see how it goes *crosses fingers*

Well, what has been going on up to now?...  The a/c is dead in the upstairs part of my house since yesturday, and it makes my brain go bleh.  I finally finished reworking my new fursuit body; so now its wearable in public.  I also got some new shorts for the body suit (that fit well for a change).  No, the new suit isn't modded, but I like the look and I love having pockets.  I'm now all packed up for MFF.  I think this is the latest I've ever waited haha.  And now I have to carry 2 body suits with me to the con, but at least I can be less funky hehe.  People at work laugh at me for not only making several lists of what I'm bringing to cons (I write it up durring slow parts of the day between patients), but that I get as detailed as to write the number of each item, which container it will go in, and even draw out a quick layered and labled skematic of where it all will fit.  But this way, I never forget anything that is pertaniant, and I can always add to it, and by packing early Ihave time to find everything and nothing is last minute.  When time to go, the only thing I have to pack is my laptop and it's and my phone's chargers.
ok, boose list for MFF.  I didn't bring any boose with me for the previous con (MFM) and after that (and the fact that Vincent said that if I get him drunk he "might" be a lot more willing to play and such... heheh) I've decided to pack at least some along for the con.  Most of what I'm bringing are minis since I've packed the rest of my duffle bag pretty tight, and minis are good for 2 shots if u work it right)
Rumple Minze (mini)
Smirnoff raspberry vodka (mini)
Crown Royal (2 minis)
Captain Morgan's spiced rum (2 minis)
Tortuga gold rum (home-made mini for me hehe)
Canadian Mist
Smirnoff Silver (90.2 proof) vodka
Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay coconut rum
Jagermiser
Amaretto / Bacardi god rum mix (for cokes)
Royal Flush (5th bottle) (home made mix of Crown Royal, Peachtree schnaaps, and cranberry juice) (for Vincent)
Mai Tai (5th bottle) (home made mix of gold rum, white coconut rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, grenadine) (for me)

I want to do something in fursuit for Halloween, but nothing that required a lot of driving or money (since I need to save and Vincent can only get off Halloween night so he can't leave the state really).  If nothing else I could go to my church's trunk or treat or something.  The only thing against fursuiting on Halloween is I don't want to have to wash my head again if I'm in it too long.  A club would be good, but last halloween I went to one in suit and my fursuit smelled like an ashtray when I got home.  Maybe I can go back over to my campus and see if anything is going on.  I don't know, hope to figure something out.  A fun thing would be to have people over for the night and fursuit and have some drinks (I've listed what's in my bar a couple journals down), watch a movie or something and maybe even play games.

Well, it's 4:46pm;  Vincent left here at 4:20 to go back home to Virginia to visit family and friends.  I'm already missing him again.  He hasn't been gone since last year.  Since he moved in with me early mid February 2007, this has been only the second time we've been apart for more than part of a day.  And have talked every day since June 10th, 10am 2006.
