\n So, I was introduced on the stage and asked to sit down in a chair. I was hoping to do a rowsing speech, but instead I was asked to sit down and do an interview. I was quite relieved to hear this, but I was still very nervous at the time. This is quite different from CNN. You don't see the viewers on CNN. All you see is a camera. Also, unlike on CNN, I was being asked about rather personal things. This reminded me of my job at Menard's. Though I can't remember everything, I do remember some of the more important questions I was asked. They seemed pretty amused.
\n Why did you decide to visit FuzzyCon?
Henry: I got an e-mail by MariaKitsune, and because it was close by in Minnesota I just thought I'd stop by, ya know?
\n How long have you known of the furry fandom?
Henry: Since Maria Kitsune e-mailed me in February.
\n Do you consider yourself to be a figurehead in this fandom?
Henry: How can I be the figurehead of something I hardly knew even existed?
\n Do any adjustments need to be made to your diet?
Henry: I can't eat chocolate and most fruits.
\n Do you have sweat glands?
Henry: I take cold baths during the summer and take this everywhere during the summer to avoid getting heat stroke.
\n I picked up my spray bottle and showed it to everybody.
\n Do you think there are going to be more people like you?
Henry: I don't know.
\n Would you mind if there were?
Henry: It depends. I would support equality for such individuals, though.
\n Can you produce sperm, and could they produce offspring?
Henry: I--I don't know.
\n It took me awhile to learn that, in this fandom, questions like this are considered normal.
\n Do you consider the people that raised you to be your family?
Henry: No.
\n It was very difficult to hold in my tears after I said that. The con chair, a pudgy Hispanic woman with red hair, walked up to me and handed me a magic 8-ball.
Maria: Do you have any words of wisdom for us?
Henry: There is no such thing as normal.
\n I shook the ball for almost a minute, almost scared to look at what it was going to say. Someone in the audience shouted "Get on with it!" I flipped it over.
