My Stupid Need to be Filmed
Whuf,
Some of my friends know about my silly need to get videos of myself dancing, and I thought to finally explain it and get rid of it.
I think it started because of Confuzzled 2008, my first convention. I didn't think about any such thing back then, but there I had the most amazing time dancing with someone specific. He's probably the reason I got strongly into dancing again after many years, it was simply awesome to dance with him there and it was one of my highlights in the whole convention.
I got really upset after the convention that I got no memento of, no way of showing that it really happened and I had so much fun. Not even a picture.
That's probably why I was set to get some videos of me dancing. In Eurofurence 14, I wanted to show yes I really do that, I can dance well, I can do that move and whatever silliness. I didn't get much back then and I had an awesome time at my first ever EF. I also remember thinking how fursuiters have it much easier to be caught on type because of there uniqueness and hence why I got to ask people to film me.
Since then I also got into more dancing styles like Jumpstyle and Shuffle, and since those aren't always so simple, I wanted to have "a proof" of my ability in those too. I got some of those here and some in the next EF.
From EF to EF I make a lot of new friends, and in EF15 I managed to get a lot of videos of myself thanks to them. Including with my lost long dancer. It was still lots of fun and I think that should have been enough, but no.
In EF16, I still had that bug in me, and I think it got the point where I worried more about making a video then fucking having fun in a dance. Even though I still enjoyed the dances and had a good time I think it damaged some of it.
So this is it, I decided I will no longer care for such silliness and will only care to have fun as the main goal of a convention should be.
So what is the point of this long post?
Well first, like I said, I want to explain my requests and why I'm dropping it.
Second and way more important, I want to thank all the people who I might have pestered or bothered (all in good spirit), and that helped me by making a video for me :)
So thank you Pony, Gigi, Dogtail and especially Elfasi, who I have bothered more then anyone else, and always indulged me with a smile :)
