Just want to let everyone know that my birthday was 8/22 ended just few minutes ago, and I want to say thank you for those who wished me a happy birthday :) further more something to share with you all.
It's really not easy to live a life without friends and people who care about you, I am not at my best place in life but this fandom gave me a place to look for fun, hope, and grow up to be childish/mature at the same time. I got to take care of a few furs who needed help in the past, shared my moments in life with many of you at events in real life, and beyond having fun, there are also many many many people like
jdpuppy and
tzup etc who I always look upon to learn more from.
Furrys really opened several doors I would did not by myself, and I am really happy got to share with everyone how we all feel, and some people even worked their ways around to help me, made sure I am okay at all times. Thank you all very much for decided to become my friends. After all, I do not treat people lightly because behind each nick name, there's another real person sitting at the other end of the net, and we all have feelings. A friend just recently passed away, I can't say he's a close or a extremely good friend but he's definitely a great human being, it really doesn't take much for death to grab someone, and he sure is still floating around, striking possibly anyone; thinking of this, how can you not scared that how much time you wasted on video games or furry drama? or said something angry to someone that could be the last words you say to them?
When in middle school I really hated people who gathered as a group, I never felt fit in. (It wasn't true that I didn't fit into groups, it was me pretending the fact I am pathetic so no one was there to look after me) I hated everyone who got to share lots of common interests that there wasn't much of anything I got interested enough to stepped in. And my grades were not the best class, I end up became a scavenger hang with other outcasts, or intentionally flattering and be friends with popular people who doesn't really care about my existence, if I look back :)
Years passed and now I am in the furry fandom, I feel we all share enough common interests that I can open up myself a little more, more than people I need to hide some "unapprovable" lists of things, to get a good laugh together or maybe even be appreciated.
I like guys, but I am not proud of being like that, in fact I am more proud of being a weirdo. I try to live my life and satisfy myself and my friends in my own ways, at the same time I still put on a good show to regular people.........hmmm......can't say good show, I still being myself and don't expose my weirdness too hard, or push people who can't or don't want to handle it.
"There's time and place for everything" and I think I handled it quite well so far.
Though we don't see each other each day like local furs would, or maybe never will in life, but I still want to say thank you everyone who had the intention to let me be part of your life, either just on internet or face to face, I humbly say that, all the things happened to me in the fandom, makes my worth of existence, I love you everyone :)
But...........looking the other way around, I don't know if I had caused any positive impact to you? if Kofu never exist, what would your life be?
I have always wanted to be a popufur and many has told me that I already am, I am lucky enough to get to know people who are popular, and be friends with them, I have friends who are now looking forward to hang out with me at events, people who don't mind sleep with me *blushes* Really don't think there's much more I can ask for right now, but just, I hope one day when I put my own Kofulion fursuit on, I will get recognized, and do something to impress everyone on stage one day!

Birthday went well, I had dinner with
wally_wolf and
digeri Friday evening, went back home this past weekend, hang out with classmates back in community college, and spent time with parents again (slept most of the time, but still counts !). At work some folks realized it was my birthday, gave me wishful greetings and had a wonderful chicken marsala dinner with old roommates and friends.
Though it's a shame to ask for gifts, but if anyone interested and don't have ideas - I never really had that many yiff arts of my character. If anyone who don't mind, please consider have my character join some fun bed activities with you in future commissions :3
Also, lionking is back in movie theater again next month, there are quite a lot of lion king merchandise released in the market again in varies places, I am still collecting them many as I can these days. I will always take and appreciate anything lionking more than furry stuffs, consider that's the reason why I became a fur today ;)
Last, hmmm I haven't thought much about how to celebrate it, but since lion king is coming back to movie theater in 3D, and lion king was the key I turned furry and met so many friends here, it would mean a lot to me if all my furry friends can watch the movie again with me, so please, would you consider watch The Lion King 3D with me in Raleigh in September? It's my wish for birthday this year, I wish to watch lion king in movie theater with furrys and friends.
Date and time will be post once I talk to some friends :3
.........we are living our fantasies in reality, and we work our lives hard to feed these fantasies alive.
