07:05 pm - Discovery. Anthrocon was a blast, like it always is.. once I got there, that is. As many of you know already, on my way there I got stuck in Newark for around 10 hours. I booked a flight at 6 am so I could get there early and party! Though, luck's never been on my side really. I admit, I was a little moody when I finally got in around 10 or 11 pm.
I didn't suit as much as I should've; I have that problem. Met new people, spent time with old friends across the country. Gave money to Cooner. You know how it is. After every AC, I always feel like I need to do more to get involved. I always want to get a full suit, I always want to actually do the fursuit games. And this year, watching the fursuit dance competition made me want to learn how to dance. It may be impossible for myself, seeing as how perpetually self-conscious I am. Though, stage performance was always a part of my life until recently. Tap dancing, karate (katas), orchestra.
If you have a moment, look up ~V~ and Phor on youtube for the Anthrcon 2009 Dance Contest. Amazing!

09:08 pm - Life is unusually busy. I've been meaning to update this over several things. Pridefest, Futurefest, gyming, and now Anthrocon is right around the corner. I should've scheduled myself off a day or so before I fly out, but I didn't expect to be scheduled full-fledged 8.5 hour shifts right before leaving.
After those kinda shifts, all I want to do afterwards is sleep.. and that's what I usually end up doing. Except forever. So I missed gyming yesterday, though I think I have a chance to atone tonight and tomorrow. I need to work myself hard since I won't be going back there til next week. Besides, I need to be able to show something off at AC right?
( Tiny shirts. )
( Futurefest )
I should head to the gym, it's late enough for it not to be completely packed. Need to get pumped for AC! RAWR. Current Mood: busy

11:03 pm So for the past week or so, I've been without a working vehicle. The story is, the other day I figured I needed power steering fluid 'cause the wheel was making horrible noises. So I go to Auto Zone 'n get some stuff 'n put it in. After a short while driving around, the wheel gets harder and harder to turn. Not that I mind of course, I enjoy man-handling things often enough (Mrawr). Though, it was to the point where it was a very real possibility it was damaging the car.
But why would it start doing that right after I put in the stuff? Oh. Hay. I did put in power steering fluid, right? Perhaps.
Needless to say, I felt pretty damn stupid for awhile. It didn't help my gym slump either. But upon further inspection, we discovered that there wasn't actually any fluid in it at all when we were about to siphon it out. Oh. A leak.
Oh well. We got the a new hose in today and put it together. That's all over and I can drive again. =]
Yesterday, I got my butt to the gym and had a surprisingly refreshing session. I have more than enough lost progress to make up for.

03:50 am I have a confession to make. Back when I posted that I had reached 100 pounds, it was pretty much a lie. It was at the end of the day after a workout and I ate -alot-.
I'm having trouble seeing that number again.. =[

09:54 pm - Let's just call it.. inspiration. I take a certain pride in designing my fursona to look as similar to my real self as possible. But what fun is that really? The fandom is about make-believe, after all. If I'm going to make myself an anthropomorphic wolf, why not just go the whole nine yards and make it a damn hot wolf then?
Because that's not me. But it's okay to dream, right?
( The one on the right looks more like me, honest. )
Art by Cooner! And I'm sure you can guess who the lion is. =]

01:46 pm It's a little disconcerting, trying to upsell sandwiches at Starbuck's... and then going to Wendy's after work to have them try to upsell coffee at you.

11:37 pm - Re: Fursuits I've probably posted something similar to this in the past, but I feel the urge to write it down again. And! It has nothing to do with gyming. It is, in fact, about furry crap.
The first time I ever donned a fursuit at a public event was at one of my highschool orchestra concerts. It was for halloween, and I actually played my bass in it. The fursuit was actually a gift from a friend in Atlanta who just got into making 'em. It was his very first. It had a giant head, and it was about 50 sizes too big with a missing tail. The white wolf actually ending up looking like a polar bear.
The suit you'll most likely find me bouncing around in is only a partial. A bargain though. A furbid steal. I was impressed by the quality for how little they were asking. On top of that, it fits me perfectly. I can't imagine anyone else wearing it. I mean really, who else is my size? And since it's a partial, I can be creative and dress it up in certain ways. Elegantly obscene? Or loud and flashy? I admit, I enjoy playing dress up. Although I love this suit, it's not really me. (I think it's a dog of some sort.. I'm not even sure.)
Sometimes, I find myself fantasizing about the fursuit I'd be willing to shell out a good amount for. Not the traditional fursuit or even a partial. No, no, no. I want a black wolf... done in lycra! Imagine this: a head that is actually a mask (err, maybe balaclava) that only covers the bottom half of the face. I could wear my wolf contacts, wear a headband for the ears, paint the skin that's showing and let my hair do what it does. I'm still a little unclear concerning the properties of lycra. Should it be airbrushed? Could it be furred? Would that make it unbearably hot?
It's really just my imagination. I have no idea if this is even conceivable or not. Should I even bother? Lycra can be really hot on some people...
But I don't know if I'm one of those people. Current Mood: contemplative

02:26 pm Lately, I've been feeling emotionally under the weather. I've missed so many gym days and I haven't been eating as much as I should. Yeah that's right. When I feel crappy, I stop eating. Apparently I'm over here in bizarro world. Current Mood: blah

10:36 pm Hm, I'm still having issues solidifying my diet. I'm still pretty much winging it, despite you know, knowing exactly what to eat. I need to learn how to prepare food before hand or something.
My throat is beginning to feel sore. That's not a good sign. =[

10:38 pm Last night I awoke from deeeeeep sleep to some intense pain in my right shoulder. Not quite sure what it was, but it was enough for me to jump out of bed, take a hot shower and pop some pain pills. It was like "growing pain" (whatever that is) but more painful.

07:39 pm - Progress picture. I already posted this to musclefurs, but I figured I'd post here too. Progress pictures are important. You can reassure yourself of how much of a difference you're really making. Except I didn't have the balls to take pictures of my bare self prior to gyming. Huh.
( An attention whore is me. ) Current Mood: cheerful
