Kitty Update: April Break n' Preparations

Among the constant weather changes and random nonsense happening at home and work, I can finally say that my upcoming goals are beginning to proceed forward. In other news, my mate has finally got his license back. That is part of the major step on our upcoming plan for this year. Now, even though this means getting art like crazy, I'm not going to indulge just yet.

If you managed to check out my scraps, I have a little layout of one of my games that I would like to stream as one of my favorites. The only problem is, I don't have a capture card. So, I'm going to start with the big guns and get the needed equipment throughout the month among other things for this summer. Once May hits, it's save save save. However, I'm still going to nab a commission or two along the way. =~_^=

As an added note, I'm going to start updating my Furry Network page as well with all of my characters. Who knows, maybe I'll write a full on description and setting for all of my forms. If I'm lucky enough, things will also settle down a bit IRL as well.

Hey there...It's me, Frostcat.

I know I haven't used this website in quite a long time. Probably since the bannnig from FA all those years ago. Oddly enough I finally made it back under another name, but at that point I don't think many people would care. So here I am once again after thirteen months in saying "I'm back." I've seem to be saying that all the time but never really showed anything for it. To be honest, all of my attemps on trying to make a comeback have led to a conclusion. Everyone moved on or just no longer care. Not going to lie, that fact hurt. No emo episodes, cases of depression or nothing. Just a "Great....what now...?" feeling.

It still lingers withing me now. But I'm still goiing on strong. That reminds me, I've actually got a decent paying job for once. I'm talking about twelve an hour job. I'm still with Blazger and he has the same job too. We're in wisconsin though and once had everything made until a pyromaniac decided to burn our apartment stairway. All of our belongings were still intact since the door itself was metal, but the landlord wanted us to move because of his paranoid wife. We're at a better apartment though with responsible roommates who are fellow furs too. So I guess all of that is an extreme plus since I've last logged on here.

I'm still waiting for that final push to try and get back out there to the fandom though. The waiting however is excruciating though. I'm honestly amazed that not only this site still lives, but my account as well. So I'm going to start cleaning up my friends list here. Chances are, because of facebook, barely anyone is going to repond here either. And that's fine. All of this instantly reminds me of a recent character of a somewhat new indie game called Undertale. There's a short skeleton in a blue hoodie and slippers named Sans. He's mostly a lazy lounge-about guy who's pretty much given up on everything. But not in the way everyone assumes. Sans is the type of person that rolls with it and making the best of what comes to him. Although he has some responsibilites here and there along with backing up what he believes in (should you want to fight him), Sans just let things happen...if you get that I'm saying.

So I'm just going to do my thing. If it gains attention, cool. If not, meh, that's cool too. But at least I know where to go if i want to start from the bottom again. Welp...

I remember posting this sucker since 2004. I still can't believe that I can still post journals for the longest of time that I haven't use this. Well, if anyone responds to this. And I mean any ONE, I'm post my thoughts on here too. Some more than others.

Kitty's FAQ4FWA	[Jan. 19th, 2013\|07:21 am] frostcat
Sup everyone? As the new year rolls along, March is getting closer, and I'm actually planning on going to FWA. First off, if you didn't read my other posts on Inkbunny, I'll be going along solo. I really want to check out a new con as well as chilling out without worry. Think of it like my own personal celebration for enduring the unemployment period and having a full year of resort work under my belt. Moving along, I really want to check out all of the hot spots and events going on over there. What restaurants do they have other than fast food and Denny's? What are some awesome/traditional panels and events that take place? Like MFF has "The Fursuit Variety Show," FC is "Furry Night Live," Anthrocon always have the big fursuit pile in the hotel on the night of closing ceremonies. Things like that. What are some awesome places outside the hotel to take cool fursuit pictures? If anyone can help me out or show me around the con, that will be awesome. Although, I did have some furs I know said that FWA is kinda 'meh.' But a good fellow fur of mine always go to it each and every year since I've known him. It's like his go-to con that he must attend. So I want to see why it's to "meh" as other claimed. To me, I think it's an underrated con since it's the home to DragonCon too. But we shall see when March comes around. Til then, I'll be keeping up to date here, Inkbunny and on Weasyl as best as I can. Speaking of which, everything is coming along fine in my current situation. I'm actually loving the added features at work as well as getting employee of the month in November. What I didn't know was that the news spread like wildfire through December. I guess it's the fact that I've only worked during my first year and have two big accomplishments. Granted, I'm just doing my job and not 'favors' either. Another added bonus, I've finally got my Fire and Ice pendant. That gem is basically the representation of me and who I am. No way will I never part with it. But now I need to find a proper leather/silver necklace big enough to wear for my fursuit. =^_^;= The time will come for the next phase -Frostcat

Almost a con-less year.

Still cool

What's up everyone? I know I haven't done much on LJ recently but I'm doing just fine at the Dells. Even though I'm at a cool job where I can cater to those that want to have a memorable vacation or much needed break, sometimes it can be a bit taxing. But not as bad as you think. I'm still grateful for our old friend who wanted to help us find a job up here so that we can officially get back on our feet. I'm completely happy to say that things are damn near close to being back to normal like it was five years ago. There are a few things that we have to do, but for now they are not an immediate need.

Of course all of this come with a heavy price. Mine was basically having a near con-less year due to the fact of helping our friend out at AC and missing out on MFF this year. Then again, all is not lost for this cat. It's been a while since I've ever focus on anything else but the convention. Kinda weird but kinda refreshing too in a way. Sure I miss out on furry friends and raves, but I don't have to worry about room share, paying the room itself, the possible unneeded drama, or the incoming bills and rent I have to pay when I get back. Then again, I'm not gonna have another year like that anytime soon. =>.<;=

Of all that has happened these past months, I'm happy to say that I can now have an android. Finally I can get the apps and custom bells and whistles too for once. I've also managed to nab a few commissions and trinkets on Inkbunny from time to time. Although I may be off the map per-say but I'm still out and about in the fandom. Next to discuss is the future plans and items I plan to get. First off is another computer or laptop. That way I can keep in touch with everything with no worries. As far as which con I should go to, I've been thinking about FWA. I want to head over there on my own to scope out the home of DragonCon which could be another con to invade should everything go okay. Then again, there IS another con that I want to go to as well. But that might be a 2014 deal in the end. Then there's MFF of course (I'm going this time. Promise :P).

So yeah...that's pretty much it as far as the feline's update is concerned. More to chit chat about as the months roll by. Til then...

Dust: An Elysian Tail

A flower for the game's beauty

An awesome side scrolling adventure game with spectacular graphics, calming to compelling soundtrack, a well laid out story line and at times funny dialogue. And that's just the demo and actual game up to the first boss!

Hack slack rinse repeat? Maybe, but it's a badass game to play. Original, unique, and furry. Not to mention that the main character is a cat too. =^_^= I honestly thought he was a fox at first, but seeing no white tip on his tail and having a short muzzle proves that.

I take it until Saturday at most that I'll be seeing wicked art crossovers and yes, Rule 34 of Dust. Hell, a wicked back to back commission of me in my Kilik outfit and him fending off monsters would be awesome.

Kitty Update: Life in the Dells

Being cool again.

]

Sup everyone? I know I haven't done any journal updates in a while mainly because there's nothing really important to talk about. So I'll just do my normal rambling n' stuff.

So far living in Wisconsin Dells is pretty cool and a bit challenging in a good way. Walking or biking around and seeing the full on area for what it is does have an "Wow this is really cool" effect on you. But on the other hand I can totally understand the local's concept of living here.

"Eh, this place is nothing."
"Yeah. The say it's good..."
"I've been there plenty of times. Don't go."

Throughout my life I've been doing nothing but be kind and polite to those around me and mostly end up getting flack or hated on right then and there or way down the line in the long run. Weather it's trying to make friends or at work. But I'm finally in a area where being nice to people really pays off. The only problem is, the locals, don't do it. But I totally understand why. There were born here or in the area and seen everything. They've worked for many years, know the jest of the type of guest coming in and what to expect. So why should they have to fear those that want to do their job right? That's the challenging part.

They can look angry or upset, explain the rules in a -don't give a shit- manner and send them on their way. They can even deny the guest to the attraction all hardcore like they're freakin bouncers and not care for their reaction or if they ruined their vacation entirely. And they don't get punished? Or just a slap on the wrist? Just because they've been in the company for years on end, doesn't give you the right to be assholes to the guests with fake smiles or pretending to care. In other words, being pampered for doing something totally rude while all the first year workers, or temps get talked to or written up over a single mistake like letting someone in who was on their tippy-toes that got hurt or got on the ride with sandals on.

Even though there will always be a catch to each and every job that you work at, at least this one I can still be myself and not worry about the guests. I don't have to worry about being randomly silly or happy go lucky. The guests actually like that because it lets them know that I like working here. I only hope that I don't turn into those locals that just puts down every amusement park, restaurant, or resort and not give a damn about how the guest are.

Welp, one more month to go before the wind down season starts. So far we got almost everything that we need at the apartment, but I'm still questioning if I'm able to get the time off for MFF. Granted AnthroCon was more of a "Meh" this year due to reasonable circumstances, but I do want to have at least one con that I can actually have fun at after getting the ultimate break that I really needed and actually working again. But if not, I can always plan for something more greater next year.

IF WE SURVIVE!!!!!!

Level-headed

Been a while huh? I know many people barely go onto Livejournal anymore and even those that do either skim or don't bother reading another journal. But this time I'm posting public as to what is going on recently.

It's been quite some few months but after the help we've received from a fellow fur, me and Blazger managed to land our jobs. Afterwards, we've saved up enough money to afford an apartment on our own that we can both manage including bills and expenditures. Now with our own decisions we have chosen trustworthy friends that we've known for years on end ever since joining the fandom and have always supported us from the beginning as we lived on our own to become our roommates. Granted, other furs have been given that opportunity, but they have decided to journey their own path and have wished us the best.

Where we are now, there is opportunity to work and start over. Finally we have been given that chance and now we are back on our feet. We can actually do the things that many of others believe that we can never do these past six years. All I have to say is that this feline has officially endured all that there is mentally throughout the rumors and bashings over the years to leave all of that behind and start anew. After all that has been towards me negatively, I can finally let all of that go and start from a clean slate like none of it ever happened. What you choose to do now is totally up to you. Just note, without FA to go back to and barely anyone still caring about us, I can be like the lone cat I once was starting in this fandom only more mature.

*finally taking charge*

Sup everyone. Been a while since I've actually updated. Seeing that this is a major update throughout the overall past months, I'll be posting this on Inkbunny, DeviantArt and LiveJournal.

My first thing to talk about is my RL situation. Last year in December, I've agreed to move to my sister's place so I can try to get back on my feet. Throughout the applications and calls I rarely got any interviews and even those won't get past the first one. Granted, I did enjoy having the place to myself during the day, playing on the Xbox, watching furry streams and freely browsing with no interruptions. That and I was finally able to keep touch base with my family too after so long. Only now I have permission from my mom that I can move back to my apartment with my mate and fellow furry roomies. Although I loved coming back to [iconname]blazger[/iconname] and everyone else, not many others will be fond of that. My brother and a few furs that have been following my entries even though they don't reply.

My only gripes also leads to the fact of barely getting any reply's for me and Blaze LiveJournal wise. It appears that it got to the point of no one even caring about us anymore as if we don't exist. But I don't mean from anybody. I mean from furs that know us for who we are and not by spread rumor from long ago. That is why I've decided not to post much there and only post to Inkbunny. My other random thoughts were to actually move to another state. Preferably Florida where my brother and his wife moved to early this year. Even though I might have a better chance to land a job, meet new furs, and venture to new cons, I'll worry too much about Blaze and my brother is thinking about starting his own family. The last thing I want to do is intrude on my brother's love life as well as being the babysitter in the years to come.

Another rambling thought that comes to mind is those that know my issues and wanted to help. IE, pull me away from Blaze. (Referring to events at FCN) While noted that I can get a job in the city or someplace else, my main priority will be securing a place for myself and then having my mate to move in with me. No way will I ever leave him behind unless he says so. Another thing swirling in the back of my mind at the subject is this. "You know my position, you know the situation and the potential that I possess. If you know a better way to help me get a job, have a spot for me to crash at that way I can commute from your place to the city or if you want to offer me a few bucks here and there, why not throw me a line and actually help me? But then again, what are the chances of THAT ever happening?" Just saying.

Lately there's been a few journals about the famed My Little Pony and everyone's reactions about it recently. Now knowing that there are bronies in the fandom *brohoofs* it seems the the rest of the furry fandom hates, nay, despises it. This confuses the hell out of me. I can understand fully if other fads hates us. From Trekies, Star Wars geeks, Otakus, DnD/RenFare goers to even Brony only groups, they don't like us. Some of them don't want to have any part of furry period because of our everyday news rep and rumors flying around. To me that's okay. I'm normally be like "We are the outcasts from the everyday society. FEAR US!" I get a kick out of it. But for us to hate them is kind of like shooting yourself in the foot. Especially if it's MLP. Really? Why? Crappy/half-assed animation since it's flashed based? Too popular than yourself? Too Girly? What happened to the "Real men wear pink" shirts?

What I'm getting to is that Furry is known to integrate itself to every known thing that exists by picture story and the like. How did that interview with Kage and KuddlePup go? "Other groups are focused on that one particular thing while furries are mainly focused on each other admiring and caring for one another." Something along those lines. My main thing is, and I will quote the one reporter that expressed himself about Prop 8. "There is so much hate in the world." And that's the peeve that bugs me the most. No matter what anyone is into, someone just has to bitch about it for retarded and invalid reasons. It's like Bronies in the fandom are the next babyfurs in general.

All in all, I have no clue about what will happen in my future. All I know is that I'll live it my way. If I'll ask my family for help, I'll ask. If anyone or any fur is willing to help me, then more power to you. But I won't change who I am as a result. Now if you excuse me, this kitty is going to take a nap.
