Argh, I am using Live journal...again within a month's time! YEEEEK!
Anyway, I decided to go to Pride...as a Kangaroo. For those who know, I have a Kangaroo-suit-Head and Tail. So I put the tail on and went un-eventfully all th way to Pride. Not even stares or anythign on the bus or Subway. Then I put the Roo Head on just outside of Zelda's after a gulp of air and two gulps of courage, and there it was. I slung my book bag on my shoulder and started walking up and down the streets of Pride celebration 'hopping' to the music, shaking people's hands, waving to folks and making kids smile and dogs bark!
I was called, "Hey Dog! Hey Rat, Rabbit, Chihuahua, Cat, Racoon, **honestly people how much did you have to drink for THAT one** marsupial, and finally quite a few 'Hey Kangaroo! C'mere!'
And most often I'd stop, look around all cautious and creep over all cartoony and stuff. Got many people asking me to take pictures with them, ladies asking to rub my ears, I got many kisses on the nose, Guys included! Had someone flat out ask me, "Are you a top or bottom?" so, As in a mascot suit, you're not supposed to speak **Yeah I know. Lionroo not talking for four hours in a crowded place? unheard of, but I didn't speak a syllable** when asked if I was a top or bottom, I turned around and grabbed my tailtip and hiked it up for him, he laughed, hugged my ass and said, "Cute,"
I had a few people go "Oooh Furry!" and other "eeew Furry!" others still going, "You ever see CSI?" and I nodded and gave huge thumb's up and jumped high in the air, click my heels and BOUNDED off, I was "NOT" going to confront that.
One person litterally grabbed my tail and I turned the roo head to look at them and I petted their nose and they said, "You're my first Furry Prider! Can I take some footage?" **No news crew, juts a dude with a slighlty fancy camera. I pray it wasn't "SA" or you'll hear of it soon.** So yeah, hopped around to the nearby techno music and just had a ball.
Ran INTO furries, as in, someone I didn't know whatsoever said, "Are you furry by trade or furry by heart?" like it was some sort of secret code question, I touched my chest and he nodded and said, "You know Kindar?" **Laughs!** Damn, Furry by proxy for the night, I seemed to bring furries out. My room mates grabbed me and I was like "YERK!" and didn't expect to actually RUN INTO THEM downtown, but c'mon. I was dressed up as a huge and vibrantly hopping and exhuberant Kanga...not much MISSING me.
The night wound down, I walked to the subway station by the Hard Rock Cafe with Alex, and went home with the Roohead on...ON THE SUBWAY. People asked me to pose for photo ops again, someone asked to video me on their video phone as I hopped on the mving Subway, **Harder than it sounds**
Had four cute guys ask me for my phone number, and ICQ number. *^_^* Gladly gave THAT out, they got on the subway at Wellesley, so I wan't that afraid of giving it out.
And since I forgot how to do LJ cuts, I'll stop here. But Pride was cool, if anyone wants to suit with me next Pride downtown during the party, don't worry about the brightness, if you're in a dark place looking out at lights, you can see fine.
LionRoo!
