So ok I guess that some updates are in order.
Well first of all, some weeks after AC I went to Milwaukee to hang out with the awesome that is
hegdish baconcoyote and
drakeduck . That was a super fun time and I can't wait to get up there for another visit!
Then sometime after that was a trip down to Louisville, KY to visit
theome and help him make a duct tape dummy for a forthcoming fursuit. I've got to get back down there asap!
One of my best friends
topher_fox moved to Pittsburgh to pursue an education in airframe mechanics at PIA. It's awesome having him so close now so we can chill out and cause shenanigans :P
Halloween was spent at the house of
kwik in Columbus, hanging out and then going out to a giant block party downtown in fursuit! That was a fun time but a LOOOOONG walk in suit. Got to meet a ton of awesome people and spend some more time with Theome.
MFF was pretty laid back this year. No endurance fursuiting this year :P Roomed with the Milwaukee crew and got to spend some quality time getting to know a few people better and making new friends. Also got to hang out more with
tastyeagle which is always choice! Wore
fauxpawroo 's suit FauxPaw and she wore Didge, that was a super fun outing! I love swapping suits with people ^_^ Maybe some day I'll catch up to
nerfcoyote 's record :P Speaking of which, he got to jump into Codex for a little while and nab number 100 on his list of worn suits! It was an honor and a privilege sir :D OH, and I TOTALLY stopped out of my way to get a real Chicago style hotdog from SUPERDAWG, mmmmm so good.
Thanksgiving, I ate a HUGE meal with family here at home, then that weekend, drove out to Columbus to have even MORE food and to hang out with friends at
fordshepherd 's place. MORE new friends acquired and a few more hours hanging out with Jimmy before he had to return to the land of California, and with Theome before he had to go back to the south :P
As of right now I'm just sitting here on one of my few recent days off, trying to recover from this back breaking work. I never knew that a retail job could be so painful. Also the fact that the new management are ASSHOLES, and have totally destroyed all our morale and the familylike atmosphere that was around before the change. Way to go dicks.
Not to long ago my father was diagnosed with bladder cancer. When I got that call it shook me a bit. I just laid there in bed in silence, not able to think or say anything. So far the outlook is super positive though. They went in and took out the growth, and now they are doing light chemo to his bladder, in fact he went in today for another treatment. They are pretty sure that he will be just fine, which so far is a huge relief to me and my family.
Another big life event is that I'm in a relationship now.... yeah I never thought that would happen actually. Theome and I had been seeing how things were going for the last few months between us and if we were compatible, and as of last week we have made it official ^_^ So now I guess I have a boyfriend... weird huh? ;) Totally <3 him tho!
I even got us a Christmas/Hanukkah gift from RaccoonDrew:

So Christmas will be spent here with family as always, New Years will be spent in Columbus yet again with Theome, at Kwik's NYE bash! I'm really looking forward to that. Then in January MOTHERFUCKIN FURTHER CONFUSION BITCHES!!!!!!1!!1111.... *cough* ahem... sorry for that. If I was to say that I was looking forward to that it would be a massive understatement. I've never been to the west coast before and there are plenty of friends that will be there that I have never met face to face. EXCITED!
Con plans for this coming year seem to be so far:
FC
FWA (tentatively)
AC
MFM (tentatively)
MFF
Also I'm starting to take fursuit commissions as well, got 3 or so in the oven hopefully to all be done by March or so, then one for ME, then more :P
So that's it! Maybe next time I can go a little less time between updates >.< (Twitter is partially to blame for that:
