It's that time again...

Comments! Sara: Perhaps they are in the same league as Muffins from Space! Azure: ...I'm obviously missing something here. Liam: Haha, fantastic ^_^ I think emus are cool, although they do look like hand-me-down ostriches. All brown and dusty and with messier feathers, heh. Kei: I liked it, too ^_^ It's nice when people can just ignore all the hype and stereotypes and just joke about it. John: I prefer solos with rhythm, myself. Some of the scatty ones sound a little messy, heh. But this was on a quiet track from the R.O.D TV soundtrack; it just exploded into my headphones and for a split second I thought the door had fallen over ^_^; I don't think I've ever been 'boo-scared' by a piece of music so much before. JJ: I believe you are right, heh ^_^ Sami: Teenage angst sucks, because there's a conflit between it being trivial but still oh-so-involving, which is why you tend to get such a division between drama queens and introverts (self-harmers and the like) at this age. Raiyuu: I love wordplay ^_^ Bleh, some of the entries on wikipedia I've read aren't particularly great either. For most stuff it's okay, but when you get to controversial issues such as minority groups (read: furries) it isn't quite as impartial as it ought to be. First, though: Four movies you would watch over and over: The Cat Returns The Last Samurai I, Robot Galaxy Quest Four places you have lived: Chichester - - - Four TV shows you love to watch: Scrubs Smallville Fullmetal Alchemist Q.I Four places you have been on vacation: Sweden Coll (tiny island North of Scotland) France Holland Four websites you visit daily MyOtaku OtakuBoards Hotmail CCFJ Four of your favourite foods: Pasta with anything, pretty much Salmon with coconut cream and sweet chilli sauce Ants climbing up trees ^________^ Chicken Tikka Masala Four places you would rather be right now: Various places throughout America Portsmouth Holland London Five weird things about you 1. When going up the stairs, I always like to finish exactly on the last step (I tend to go up two-at-a-time, and I hate having one left over) 2. I dribble in my sleep >.>; 3. [Will edit] 4. [Will edit] 5. [Will edit] So, What's the Dealio? Well, things have rocketed forwards today somewhat. We didn't get that article in the paper we (well, I- Dan wasn't surprised that it didn't make it in) were anticipating, which resulted in a flurry of activity contacting local TV stations, ordering cameras and the like. So it's been pretty tiring. And my stalker's back >.>; Joy, oh joy. I had a feeling it was going to happen sooner or later, as she's in the play I'm due to be helping choreograph fights for on Wednesday. I've had about five missed calls since about 5 this afternoon, and it's now 7:20pm. Once I'm finished for choreography things should be okay, though. I was due to talk about furries today, heh. Considering I've been following the sect for so long it's hard to think this is the first time I've spoken about it particularly. Anyway, I recently signed up with UKFur.org's forums, and they're pretty cool- a lovely bunch of people, on the whole. I don't really know how I fit in with it all, though- I have opinions on some of the topics and post, but I never have been that hardcore a furry- I don't have any ears or tails that I wear around the house and I don't make silly jokes about 'scritching', whatever that may be. I just like the idea of anthropomorphic characters and want to write stories about them. I don't mind being called a furry, but it's not without its drawbacks. [One post I read made me cringe a fair bit. Putting animal-isms into every day words (such as 'e-tail' rather than 'e-mail' and 'forwoof' rather than 'forward' is just... rather... crap.] Some people really have a hard time over it- mistrusted/disowned by their parents and all sorts. And to be fair, there are a lot of weird habits associated with being a furry. You know, group sex, massive fursuits and all that. That episode of CSI: Miami doesn't exactly cast them in a favourable light, either. For the most part I gather it's generally pretty harmless- you do get the some real nutcases (and I've come across a few websites created by 'husbands of' certain characters (usually Renamon), which are bloody disturbing if you take them as being written seriously; as well as others detailing how they really are Digimon), but no more so than any other branch of anything. I think because (as far as I gather) the majority are gay males of student-ish age, they tend to over-react more to anything, which is why people enjoy winding them up. *shrugs* Nothing much else to say, I guess. Except that if I were a real furry, I'd like to be like the guy in my avatar. I reckon I'd actually be something a little less impressive, though. Perhaps an armadillo :p I miss When Humans Are The Enemy... that was a fantastic RPG ^_^
