| Cool looking brown fur and WIP canine head |
[Jul. 4th, 2008|07:36 pm] |
What do you guys think of this fur? It's really soft, has a strong backing and it's sort of shaggy. This fur is a dark brown with silver tips. It's reeeaally pretty but I'm not sure what kind of animal it'd make a good fursuit of. I was thinking a Werewolf or Grizzly bear, but again, I'm not sure. What do ya' think? : P

She's in the duct taping stages at the moment. But when I finish her. she'll be all white with a longish tuft of purple fur on her head.

| Little cat diary- now with pictures! |
[Jul. 4th, 2008|06:49 pm] |
We nao has digital camera technologies, and thanks to the patience of our fluffy and oh so cute sbjects, we can now present-
porch cat pictures!
http://s323.photobucket.com/albums/nn444/Ocicat_pictures/
This morning was kind of amazing. After waking up to a sleeping grey tabby on the porch, scaring him OFF the porch, and feeding him, I was rewarded with the whole clowder! A few moments after feeding him, I noticed kittens on the porch, kittens,a s in three- a gray and white, and two tan ones (probably brother and sister),along with mom, a calico... everyone took turns eating, the kits first, then mom, then finally the gray tabby came back and grazed a bit.
The cats seemed pretty content to call my porch theirs for most of the day, lazily sunning themelves, and making use of my comfy bench. Mom isn't as skittish as she once was, and seems a bit more at ease with having me around. She still runs when I open the door, and so so the kittens. The grey tabby is still a bit leery, but sems to have figured out I feed and tolerate him, so he's a bit more comfortable with me.
We came home from dinner to find 'the twins' on the porch bench again- sleeping. The one dashed off as Wildfox went up the stars, while the other poised as if to pounce him-Im sure I'll be seeing more of them in the near future :)
More details and pictures as they develop :)
P.S After checking outside right fast- the kittens have returned :) |

Not that Nova Scotia (which at the time was both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick together) didn't try to go make themselves Americans back in the day because some totally did.
On the other hand, you could take this comic as John Campbell's words becoming true.
Happy Independence Day, America! |

| back from the break... |
[Jul. 4th, 2008|06:21 pm] |
was out and abut for the past couple weeks, and with as much time being down that i seemed to have, it was an overall fun time. just going to sum up the cons and such, no need to details really.
jafax: all that needs to be said was amazing. nothing much like fursuiting to an anime con. much fun was had. and also got the chance to meet some new folks, which was the best part of the weekend.
AC: wow... AC. what can i say. i have never felt more bi polar in my entire life. was down the first couple days of the con, and up the rest of it. overall wasnt to bad, but it sort of killed fur cons for me in the long run. so we will see if and when i hit up another. it was weird being there, cause being at the hub of the fandom and all, i felt so out of place with it as a whole. i never felt that unwelcome in a group of folks like thats. not sure, i guess it was just me.
did get the chance though to meet a lot of great folks, even got the chance to rock out with a couple of them :P, and it was rather chill the last day or two.
so yeah, pretty much it all summed up. no suit pics of me, that i know of. all the moose pics from AC are of other folks in suit... :P |

Crawled to clinic.

Ear drops and much much pain medication.
Passed out afterwards and slept the entire day.
Dear world: It's not fun anymore. Stop it okay? |

What makes someone change?
Did I just not see this coming? I guess it should have been obvious with the way things have been going. Just like every other time I tried to get out on my own, and actually have some sort of life, something happens to crush it.
I don't know what happened. I'm heartbroken. He's changed. It was love, turned to hate, then nothing, he doesn't want me around anymore. He gets angry when I tell him he's all I have. He denies it when I tell him how much I love him. When he once said he loved me more, and told me I was the best thing to happen to him.
I couldn't get back into the building last night after work, luckily I made a few friends at work, and I had a place to crash for a few hours before makin' my way back into the building, and sitting in front of the door until one of my roommates woke up to let me in.
I've paid him back for everything, all he's changed for me is being around every now and then to let me back into the building.
Why am I a leach now? I just don't understand...
I guess I'll just go to sleep for a while, and then get ready for work. Then try this whole thing over again...
But... Why would you tell someone you love them so much, knowing they have nothing to live for where they are, bring them to another city, a wonderful city. Pay for them until they can pay it all back, then push them away? I just don't understand what happened. I'm being accused of things that never happened, I'm so torn up, all I can do is cry.
Does he even know what he's doing?
I told him I'd get off between 1 and 3 depending on how busy we are, and I call him at like 230 and he tells me he's already half way back to Virginia Beach for the weekend. With the keys.
I don't even care if he hates me for writing about him. He's been getting mad at me for talking about my situation to people this whole time, like I've been making him out to be the bad guy. I've only been saying good things, though, about how great he was to me, how much he helped.
He introduced me to a guy he's been seeing, Anthony, we talked for a while, because I was told to. Since Anthony and I came from similiar situations, it's good encouragement, I guess. And I was accused of trying to sleep with Anthony, apparently since he wasn't around to hear Anthony and I talking, it must have been about sex.
He's calling me a leach and telling me that's all I want from anyone. I'm just so hurt, I love him so much, I don't know what to do... After this weekend, I don't even know where I'll be living.
I have to find something in the area, though, I finally have a job to pay rent, and all this happens. |
