I found the One Pin today. To rule them all, and in the darkness pie them.

 

 

Rose POV from any typical moment of the day, lol.

It's a pain when life doesn't stop when you need it do, and then life just expects you to keep going when you want to curl up into a ball and relax the sick away

I'm not a germaphobe to the point of avoiding contact with anything and everything that could potentially get me sick. I just stay pretty cautious and aware of what's around me.

 I actually think I saw that news story of the evacuation. It ended up on a couple furry cringe compilation videos that I watched. I mean, I'm sure it can be fun. I know it gets a bad rap for just the idea of fursuits and adults acting in a childish manner in the suits (not everyone of course) but, my brother told me it was really fun and that there wasn't really much of that weird stuff. He even told me a couple stories that were actually pretty funny. I mean, I can't see myself going to one willingly but, I'm sure it's not as bad/weird as everyone says.

[PatchworkPsycho]

Who said anything about going willingly? I'm sure Rosie can free up some trunk space for you

[Rocky]

I don't want Rosie or anyone getting any ideas...

[PatchworkPsycho]

Too late for that

[DreamySunday]

I am feeling really pleased excited and bunch of other happy feeling'n junk. Rosie knows why.

 

 

Shush Rosie. o-o

[PatchworkPsycho]

I don't like the sound of that

Rosie don't shush

Conventions, any convention under the banner of entertainment culture, you will have fun if you enjoy anything they celebrate. When you dive in for the first time, the immediate feeling is disbelief. Everyone there likes the same stuff you do. You'll make new friends. You'll discover new things. You'll obtain plenty of swag to remember the occasion -- bags, buttons, pins, art, other cool things that get sold at conventions. That's where I got my Chopper clock and a myriad of other awesome things. I even have a "con box" where I store a lot of my costume stuff and swaggy things. You can geek out all you like. You'll notice people in costumes and they get excited if you're like "omg I know what that's from!" Especially if it's from something obscure.

 

Sometimes crazy impromptu things happen. Raves in the hall. Giant gummi bear sacrifices. Sometimes you'll find yourself in a hotel room with a hairless cat eating scraps of pizza and last night's Chinese takeout while you enjoy a few drinks and accidentally break someone's laptop.

 

You sometimes see people you know from popular culture or YouTube. I met the guy who made this fine video last year.

 

Bottom line, it's worth going to a convention, especially if it's local and you don't need a hotel room so you can buzz in and out and still sleep in your own bed/shower/food.

 

Dreamy is excited because I have claimed her as my protégé.

 

Here's the aforementioned hairless cat on my lap, lol:

 

[SymphonicFire]

Awwww! That looks tasty...

That sounds unsafe 

[Rosewind]

It's very unsafe. The others I have taken didn't survive, but I think she has a fighting chance!

[PatchworkPsycho]

So is Dreamy learning to become a baker or a furry 

[Rocky]

I am a collector of Hotwheels cars and have been to a couple Hotwheels conventions. They were really fun, but it was mostly older people that were there. Seeing as furry conventions and the like seem to attract younger people, I might have more fun. Or maybe not, who knows? There's a comic con in southern New Hampshire I've heard is pretty cool. Manchester I think? I should go sometime since I'm only like 45 minutes away. 

[DreamySunday]

@Rosewind You met Adam Johnstson!?

[Rosewind]

If that's the YourMovieSucks guy, then yes! He even did the face for me and was wearing that Cool Cat shirt. I gave him one of my legendary cookies.

 

Dreamy is learning to be a bakerfurry.

[PatchworkPsycho]

The world could use more bakerfurries

Well...if you approach someone and say "bakerfurry," it could have a completely different meaning.

[PatchworkPsycho]

Why's that

[Rocky]

My brother met YMS last year too haha

[SymphonicFire]

Uhhhh okay.

[PatchworkPsycho]

Not knowing things is the worst, I hate it so much

[PatchworkPsycho]

Life is mean

Friend was gonna buy me Skyrim Special Edition today since it was on sale yesterday when he got money on Steam

Gets money, checks, Skyrim's off sale today, they didn't put a countdown or anything

[Rosewind]

I understand that sense of anxiety and helplessness. For those kinda things, I think of outcomes and mull over solutions to those problems. Sometimes I'll find a new angle I wasn't thinking about, and that problem doesn't seem as large anymore.

 

Also there's a subtle art to not giving a flying rat's patootie. Ask yourself if it really matters. Will it matter in a day? A week? A month? In forever? Does the problem stand a chance of naturally resolving itself without your interference? What is the consequence? Can you live with it? Should you even care? Is it less trouble to just let it happen than try to resolve it? If yes, file it away and move to the next thing in your inbox.

 

Skyrim goes on sale like, every week. You'll probably see it cheap again by the end of December.

 

[PatchworkPsycho]

I'm sure it goes on sale often.

Me only seeing it on sale this once shows that I'm not gonna be paying attention when it does next time.

Not to mention I'd like to specify this was a friend's money and it's unlikely they wont spend it before Skyrim goes on sale again, so rip that
