Hanging out...
Last night was, dare I say it, Fun. Picked aldebron up from work and headed back to my place, to find datahawk enjoying a smokey-treat, followed quickly by seven001, replete in fire gear... 'cause it's warm, apparently. *grinz* wolf_ygdrassil was inside and had obviously cleaned before people showed up... I have an awesome roommate to put up with random phone calls saying that people are coming over. As soon as little_wolf got there and tozier_wah found parking, I ran down the street for mixers and pizza. linnaeus came over not too long after the pizza arrived and then huskydoggeh showed up as well. We all talked and laughed... We remembered stores about Furp, stupid shit he'd done, quarks he had... And how fucking lucky we were each to have known him, be that as an ever-present background figure, a confidant, a mentor, a close friend of 14 years or however else we saw him...
For me... he was that voice of reason on the local furry mailing list... While I don't often read it, his posts were always auto-flagged because it meant some awesome amount of epic fail was going on. I remember talking to him at... some party. And I was telling him how appreciative I was of him. He didn't... quite get it. I don't think he ever truly realized just how well-known and well-loved he was... And looking at the remember_furp group... My god... I don't think that ANY of us did...
We are all better off for having known him.
