I'm open for business

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 23:24:55 GMT

Yes, I'm still taking commissions for art and badges, if anyone's interested, but there haven't been many (read any) takers, so I'm going to try something else, too. Specifically, I'm opening myself to perform tarot readings for people, for a small fee.

If anyone has a question, a problem, a need for an answer or some advice, they can come to me. I'll be charging $15 for a single session, which can last anywhere from half an hour to two hours or more, depending on the nature of the question. And yes, I can give tarot readings over the internet, via instant messengers and the like. It's something I've done before, with a high level of accuracy in my readings.

If anyone is interested in receiving a reading, they can contact me via any of the screen names conveniently located in my profile, or they can send me an email at: coopercomish@gmail.com to set up an appointment. Due to the nature of readings, I don't do them on the fly. I'd prefer setting up an appointment, even if it's just for the next day, so all parties can be sure to have enough time for an entire session. Currently, I'm only able to accept payment for my readings via PayPal, and I request that at least half of the fee be paid upfront before the scheduled reading session.

If anyone reading this isn't interested, or doesn't believe in fortune telling, but knows someone who does, please, feel free to pass along the information in this post. I'm quite alright with word-of-mouth.

I saw this, and had to repost it...

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. (yes, this actually happened)

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didnt have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends im a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson"

I am the gay male student that had to switch to another high school on my senior year, because I told my teachers that I was gay. One said that I was going to hell the other wanted to cure me.

I am the person that can not act/be themselves in fear of what others will think of me and if they will accept me.

I am your best friend, the same person you grew up with, and told your secrets too. The person you can't talk to anymore, because my partner is a women.

I am the daughter and best friend, the girl you raised and loved. Now you wont talk to me because i shattered your dreams of ever having children, And you your afraid of how to tell your friends about me and not be embarrassed.

I am the person, with the same fears, hurts, needs and wants as you. I bleed, I breathe, I understand, I Live.....With our hearts open and our eyes closed we are all the same people. Living life the best way we know how, with what we have been given.

Repost this if you believe homophobia is wrong

Don't you love being wrong?

Turns out I don't have the flu. Yay, right? Guess what boys and girls! I've got strep throat!

Yeah, I figured, this is the fifth day now that I've been feeling ill, and my lymph nodes were so swollen that I could hardly force anything down my throat. So, I went to the emergency room! Yay! They took a look at me and said, "Yep, strep."

Now I'm on penicillin, and yay, percocet! I'm gonna be a happy foxie for the next few days, I think. Not much else to do but keep myself heavily medicated until I end up being alive again.
I'm still going to try to be at coffee tomorrow, just will be taking it very, very, VERY easy, and if anyone is nervous about catching something, I'll sit back in the corner. I'll be drugged halfway to heaven anyway, so odds are, I won't care.

Attention

Sun, 04 Feb 2007 14:50:02 GMT

I do believe I have the flu.

Thank you. That is all.

It is a wonder how nature ended up making you a male. You are a horrible result of a gender mix up! Behind that manly body is the soul of a sixteen year old school girl who sobs and weeps.

Today is the birthday of my sweet boyfriend, timtiger05! So, if you see him, be sure to wish him a happy one! And don't forget to give him his birthday spankings! (He loves that! XD)

Happy birthday, Tim! *luv 'n scritches!*

Where's the punchline?

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 23:38:57 GMT

Seriously, I good use a good laugh. An emo post a while back, another stupid event that made me more emo than I want to admit, that I don't really want to get into, and now this. Good news everyone! It's the slow season at Stein's!

You know what that means? Lay offs! Wanna guess who wound up on the chopping block? That's right, Jacque and me! We're both unemployed as of... now! We still have a couple checks coming to us, but we'll be lucky to get enough for February's rent. We need a new job, pronto!

Ya know what really gets me? I've been working there for almost 10 months, and there are other cashiers who started just two or three months ago. Jacque is in that group. Wanna know why I got the axe instead of the newer cashier, when my seniority should've kept me safe? Cause my manager's a bitch. But wait! It's cause I got that RO on Tuesday! That's right, on Monday, we told our manager that Tim, Jacque and I all needed off so we could go to the courthouse and get restraining orders against Joe. Yes, for our own safety. And she said she couldn't let all of us go! One had to stay or there wouldn't be enough cashiers, so I decided to work, because it's more important for Jacque to get it than me. However, Tuesday morning, I woke up with terrible headaches and pains, unable to even sit up in bed. So, I called in to work. Then, after taking some heavy painkillers, I limped off with Jacque and Tim to get our ROs. (Oh, and I talked to the other cashiers on Wednesday... yeah, they didn't need me on Tuesday. It wasn't that busy and they got along fine without me.) And because I called in sick after she told us that I couldn't, I'm getting laid off! I'm sorry, but isn't my own personal health AND safety just a wee bit more important than your store? Don't my own rights as a human being take precedence over your ideal work place? Haven't I always been a good worker, with good work ethics, and haven't I always gotten shining compliments from the customers I help? And yet, I go against ONE thing you say, for my own good, and you can't deal with that. Sorry, Assistant Manager, but you are not a bloody dictator!

I'm proud of myself. I didn't use my manager's actual name. Yes, I'm protecting this person's identity, even though I'd like to shove my foot so far up their ass that I can wiggle my toes against their tonsils. Doesn't change anything, though. Job hunt starts tomorrow, wish me luck!

Happy New Year!

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 05:53:47 GMT

Well, I suppose I'll turn this edition of Foxy Frolics into a New Year's episode! Especially cause the New Year fell on a weekend this year! What luck! I never would've guessed that was going to happen, what with all the calendars and everything!

Anyway, I feel I should recap 2006 for all of ya. Let's see...

I started this year off with a new job, and a new relationship with Decnal. The job didn't last long enough, and neither did the relationship. =/ But, we've all been through that enough, eh? After losing my first job due to health-fulnesses not working... I got a new job at Stein's, where I remain to this very day! Around the same time that my first real, not-long-distance relationship was falling apart, I was getting to know the one who would become my next, latest, current, and *crosses fingers* let's hope, final, boyfriend. At the same time, I made the decision to strike out on my own, finally leaving my parent's house and moving in with a trusted friend. We're already moving halfway through this year, kiddies, let me know if I'm moving too fast!

Moving into the second half of my year, the growing bond between Tim and myself brought us together, culminating in his permanent relocation to Milwaukee. Despite the hardships of job-finding, money-balancing, time-managing, and struggling to maintain a friendship with Decnal, things were slowly coming together in what I would describe as a suitable state of affairs. With my first Furry con, MFF '06, under my belt, I felt on top of the world. Especially since at the same time, Jacque and Tim found new jobs as well, at Stein's alongside me. Finally, we were all employed again! And not a moment too soon, it seemed, for the last few months of this year were ripe with strife and stress as several relationships fell apart, including one very close to home, forcing us to find a new home to call our own. Again, thanks to the generosity, selflessness, and patience of our friends, we made it through.

This year has been full of good times, including making new friends, getting to know old friends better, living through new experiences, and continuing to grow and develop as a person. There have been not-so-good times as well, that we have all managed to somehow endure and live through. I know I've grown and changed a lot in 2006, not just in my skills and capabilities, both in art and other areas, but also in other facets of my life and myself. I'm confident in saying that most of my changes have been for the better, and I really hope I continue to mature and improve in 2007.

Here's to a great new year, everyone! May the times that lie ahead prove even better than those that lay behind!

This is Cooper, your suspiciously introspective fox, signing out on this very special edition of Foxy Frolics!

Love me, for I shall love you!

Okay, I know I haven't posted to this thing in forever. I got nudged by someone, and I'm sure all of my Foxy Frolics readers are beside themselves with worry. (Yeah right :P) Anyway, since I have the chance, I'm gonna update now to let everyone know how we're doing. Tim, Jacque and I have successfully moved out of our old apartment. I know I already said this, but bear with me. Also, Restorf has also moved in with us, so there are four of us. Honestly, he's been such a great help with getting settled here, I couldn't be happier with it.

I do apologize for not being online that much, but we still don't have reliable internet here at the apartment. Hopefully, we'll get something new set up by 2007. Let me just say, I'm grateful to all of my friends who have made this transition, and this stressful holiday season, easier. Whether you helped us move, or hung out with us, or simply offered a few kind words and a supportive scritch, thank you so much! It means a lot to me to know that so many people care.

Anywho, once we have internet here at the apartment that's actually OURS, I'll update again to let everyone know, and to continue my Foxy Frolics once more!

Until then, I'll simply say to everyone out there, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah(Chanukkah? Whatever, you know what I mean!), or whatever other holiday you choose to celebrate at this time of year! Till then, this is me, signing off and wishing you all a very happy New Year!

It's Over!

Sun, 10 Dec 2006 02:51:17 GMT

Okay, I know my last journal said we were moving on the 16th, but that's not true. We moved today. The 9th. We contacted as many folks as we could to let them know, so we could still get some help. Many thanks to piechi, foxywolf, and restorf for coming out to help us pack and get things together! We've luckily gotten most things taken care of, including forwarding our mail to our new address, getting electricity set up, and the like. However, we still have no cable or internet set up, and it will be a while until we do. For now, I can jump online intermittently if I go to my parent's house (which is how I'm making this post). Anyway, we still have our phones, so are still reachable if you know our numbers. And, because people have asked, I'll put out our new address here.

We are now living at River Court Apartments, on Highway 100.

Our address is:
5104 N Lover's Lane
Apt 15
Milwaukee, WI 53225

Just a few more days...

Wed, 06 Dec 2006 04:51:30 GMT

Okay, so tensions are starting to run high in this house, and tempers are on edge. The sooner we all get to our new place, the better. It is quite possible that all of us may disappear from the net until such a time as we get cable set up again in our new apartment. I apologize if this is the case, but there is little to be done about it. If you've got my phone number, don't be afraid to keep in touch, because that'll be about the only way.

As of right now... moving date is Sat, the 16th. Any help we can get from anyone to move our stuff would be much appreciated. Heck, if we get enough people, maybe we won't have to rent a U-Haul! ^_^;

I suppose that's it. Later!

MFF Finale... sorta

Mon, 04 Dec 2006 07:24:36 GMT

Okay, I suppose this teaches me. I took too long to finish my MFF report, and have forgotten the final day of the con! I'm so sorry! Well, not too much happened on Sunday anyway, just more wandering and socializing. And one fun room party... with tea.. and snuggling... but that's it.

So, let me just say, thanks to all the furs I saw at MFF, and who made this con a blast, benjimutt, bit_the_ferret, chanur2000, cobaltfox, daddygoliath, dakhun, deffox, dlorn, draven_bloodpaw, dueaswann, evil_dwagon, focswulfe_light, foxywolf, hayashikurohyou, borderpilot, iankeith, ice_princess182, infintysquared, kryssaira, lotuschild, mistletoe, mocha_mephooki, phauxe_kitsune, piechi, razorfoot, restorf, rolliebear, rooneil, staindfan244, steelthewarrior, stunttiger, and tayit!

Whew! Now, on to other news...

Gretel

You scored 33% Isolation, 77% Proactiveness, and 81% Reliance on Humans.

You are Gretel, sister to Hansel, get-er-done-er extraordinaire. You're probably among the most fortunate of the fairy tale heroines in this quiz, because (despite having both a stepmother and a witch trying to kill you...) you have a supportive family and gumption to spare. Unlike other fairy tale heroines, you are not afraid to take action.

Your score on the "Reliance on Humans" scale means your friends are closer to you. Your best friend may be yourself, with your ingenuity for picking locks and dispatching witches. It may be someone else, like a brother or a girl friend... but in any case, you've got a lot going for you. And at the end of the day, you know you will come home to a happy hearth with no more persecution.

Deliberate Gentle Love Master (DGLMm)

Steady & mature. You are The Gentleman.

For anyone looking for an even-keeled, considerate lover, you're their man. You're sophisticated. You know what you want both in a relationship and outside of it.

Your future relationships will be long-lasting; you're classic "marrying material," a prize in the eyes of many.

It's possible that behind it all, you're a bit of a male slut. Your best friends know that in relationships you're fundamentally sex-driven. You're a safe, reliable guy, who does get laid. In a lot of ways, you're like a well-worn, comfortable pair of socks. Did you ever jack off into one of those? All the time.

MFF Report, PT. 2

Sun, 26 Nov 2006 20:30:02 GMT

Okay, here's the continuation of my MFF Foxy Frolics Edition! This day will showcase my Saturday events! So, here we go.

I woke up Saturday morning, but not till after 11. This means that I missed the Fox panel I wanted to attend, but that's alright. I had plenty else I wanted to do, anyways. So, I spent the first hour catching some breakfast, then I got suited up again for the Fursuit Parade. This was also a really fun event, and a great photo op. I was in the front of the parade, that is, one of the first hundred fursuiters to go. I also got a streamer to play around with during the parade. I have to say, the entire experience was awesome, and I saw some really amazing fursuits. And I totally loved all the photos that were taken. I've got plenty of them myself, thanks to Tim. And I'll post the link at the end of this journal, so everyone can see my MFF experience.

Well, after the awesome parade, and we got a few really fun pictures of just playing around, I changed out of suit and ran into Decnal and Swann. They wanted to go grab a bite to eat at the nearby mall, so they, Tim, Nanaga and I all got together and went. We stopped at an A&W for lunch, and Tim bought a A&W mug. We were all wearing our tails and ears at the time, which got a few looks, and even a few compliments from the normal people. One guy even came up to ask us what was going on. I told him about the Furry Convention at the Hyatt, and he said he might go over and check it out with a couple of his friends. I thought that was really awesome. Creating a good impression of the fandom among mundanes is always a good thing, if you ask me.

Well, after lunch, we headed back to the hotel, and I got suited up again for the Fursuit Games. There were four teams, designated by their captains. The Dog team, Fox team, Panda team, and Cat team. I ended up on the Dog team, with my captain, Cake. It was pretty fun, and the games were great. First, we took turns trying to throw a hula hoop around soda bottles, each bottle ringed equaling a point. I didn't do so well, and the cheating was shameless, but it was still a lot of fun. Next, we took turns throwing balls at stacks of soda cans, to try and knock them over. I did better at this game, but I don't remember which teams won. And the last game I remember was Musical Chairs. This one pretty much disintegrated the teams, since it was every fur for himself. I was bumped out pretty quickly, so I went into the other area to relax a bit and take my head off to cool off, while Tim still watched. I got to see benjimutt in his Avalanche suit, which was pretty fun. I went back out to watch the end of the game, when it was down to two people, my captain, Cake, and Aiden the raccoon. You can imagine my joy when Cake won! He was immediately pounced by several of us, creating a small, impromptu furpile. Well, a few awards were handed out when the games ended, then I made my way to the Fursuit Dance. I was in the mood to shake my tail a bit.

On the way, I ran into a couple girls who wanted to talk with me. Tim and I stopped to talk a bit, and the girls went on about how they loved furries, and fursuiters, and the entire thing was a lot of fun. Well, they talked and I pantomimed until the doors opened for the dance. Then we all went in, and met up with Decnal and Restorf, who were there to watch. I immediately jumped onto the dance floor, and there were a few other suiters there already, as well. One of them grabbed one of the girls I was talking with, and pulled her onto the dance floor. It was a lot of fun. The music was exactly the kind of stuff I love, classic songs that are really hoppin! And Tim came out to join me on the dance floor, which was fantastic. I did have to take a few breaks to sit down, drink some water and cool off, but it was rarely for more than one song. And kudos to Tim for sticking a bunch of straws together, so I could drink without taking off my head. As it got later, I got tapped on the shoulder by a vixen fursuiter. She wanted to dance, so I agreed. We danced for a couple songs, including a slower song, where we danced a bit closer. It was really fun, and I caught her name. Loriana Vixen. It was really fun, cause I've never been approached like that before. Just good fun. Well, after a bit longer, I got pretty tired, so went back to the room again to get out of suit and cool off. After that, Tim and I just wandered around the con, seeing what we could see. We did stop back in on the dance later, but not for long. Eventually, we just went back to the room to crash for the night, since we were both pretty tired.

I think this will bring an end to my Saturday edition of Foxy Frolics, so let me just give you one last thing. Check this link to see my pictures that I got off of my camera from MFF!

We'll return you to Foxy Frolics-MFF Gone Wild, shortly, but first, this message...

You are The Magician

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

MFF Report

Thu, 23 Nov 2006 03:06:03 GMT

Okay, here it is. I really want to get this done before Thanksgiving, or I know I'll forget something. So, here it is, my ultra-special, one-time only edition of Foxy Frolics, "My First MFF".

FRIDAY: Tim, Nanaga and I woke up early, threw all our luggage into the car, and made our way off. I drove to Kenosha to get dlorn and rooneil, while Tim and Nanaga went to pick up hayashikurohyou. This was all well and good till I got to Parkside, where I got several calls from Tim and Nanaga saying that his car was acting up. So, I talked things over with Nip and Silk, and we agreed that if need be, we could drive back to Milwaukee and get the others in Nip's car. Fortunately, before we got too far, I got another call saying that they'd found the problem and fixed it. Thank goodness small scares didn't go too far! So, we waited around for the others to arrive, and then we began the caravan to Schaumburg.

When we arrived at the Hyatt around 9, we were relieved to see a few familiar faces as soon as we walked through the doors, including, but not limited to, Hazardous Roo, draven_bloodpaw, and dueaswann. Specifically Swann, since he was kind enough to pay for Tim's registration for the entire con. I still owe you, bunny! Anyway, registration wasn't scheduled to start for a bit, so we just wandered around seeing who we could recognize, and maybe meeting some new people, too. When 10 am finally rolled around, we all rushed to register and get our badges, then we checked into our rooms. The room I was staying in consisted of me, Tim, Nip, Silk, and lotuschild, who we hadn't seen yet. Well, now that we could safely unpack everything into our room, I almost immediately jumped into my fursuit. I wanted to experience this con for all it was worth! So, once I was suited up in my foxiest outfit, I started strolling around the con. Tim kept the camera and took pictures.

PLEASE NOTE: I don't have the pictures on my hard drive yet, they are still on the camera. I won't have them up for a few days yet, but I'll create another post with an appropriate link once I have them available.

Anywho, we all went to the opening ceremonies for the con, were I snagged a few more photos of me and a bunch of other fursuiters. After the opening speech, it was back out to enjoy the con. After a brief stop in the con suite to grab some food, and back to my room to change out of suit (something I did a lot at this con), Tim wanted to go to the "First Furry Convention" Panel. So, we got some good advice about con behavior, and enjoyed the humor of the hosts, including 2 and Kage. After that, we went back to running around the con. I'm sure we stopped in Artist's Alley several times, just to take a look around. I'll take now to mention that during one of those visits, I commissioned a conbadge from Likeshine, and it turned out great! I was also wearing the conbadge that katvixen had made for me for AC this year. Although I didn't get to go to AC, I did wear that badge here to make up for it!

Well, after a bit of time killing, I got suited again and went to the Fursuit Meet & Greet, which was a whole lot of fun. I'd never seen so many suiters in one room, and boy was it hot! I have a great deal of respect for the ones who kept their heads on for the whole time, but it was too much for me. I loved meeting a few of the suits and the people behind them. One of my favorites, though, has to be Godiva the skunk! She wisely sat in front of the fan so we all could smell her chocolate scent. It was a lot of fun meeting and talking to all the suiters, but it did run a bit long, so Kage's show had already begun by the time we got out. Rather than walk in late, I decided to skip it and move on to something else. This meant going back to Artist's Alley and the Dealer's Den to see what interesting stuff I could find. I also remembered to call my furry bro, daddygoliath, so I could meet up with him, and also help him find Decnal.

Well, I'd gotten so distracted with all the fun I was having, that I ended up missing 2's show, too. However, I did find Tim, who had an interesting conversation with someone from the Dealer's Den who dabbles in hypnotism. Basically, this guy wanted to try hypnotizing us in a session, and we thought it was a fun idea, and agreed. While he was getting set up in our room, Nip and Silk came in from fursuiting, and Nip wanted in on the hypnosis, too. So, Silk watched while Tim, Nip and I were all put into a trance. It was very interesting, and though we were still a bit skeptical afterwards, I do believe that we all were hypnotized, at least a bit. And, in return for allowing him to hypnotize us, the dealer gave us each a free light-up badge. Fortunately, our session ended just in time for me to go to Whose Lion is it Anyway?, an improv panel that I had a great time in. I enjoyed working alongside steelthewarrior. It was actually such a big hit that the entire panel went almost on hour beyond what it was supposed to. By this time, we were all exhausted, and went back to our room to sleep, having during the day found Youko and getting her settled into the room, too.

SATURDAY: ... Will have to wait. Looking back, this journal is very long, so I think I'll split it into more digestable chunks, by day. So, stay tuned for the continuation of... Foxy Frolics, MFF edition!

MFF!!

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 02:01:10 GMT

Okay, I went, I saw, I've returned. I'll be putting up a play-by-play of MFF in a special issue of Foxy Frolics as soon as I can! That will involve uploading my photos, first, which will take a bit. Bear with me, folks!

Me too, me too!

Okay, everyone else has been making their posts, so here's mine.

I'm leaving for MFF tomorrow, y'all! See ya next week!

Another Road Trip

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 23:10:34 GMT

Okay, another Foxy Frolics episode! Again, a day late, but forgive me.

Friday, after I got home from work, Tim, Nanaga and I headed to Decnal's house. He wanted to use his new pool cues, and he needed someone to play with. We started with a few rounds of Nine Ball, and then back to basic Billiards. Decnal and Nanaga are definitely the better players, with Tim and me winning occassionally by sheer luck. And being able to pull off a few shots I don't think I'd ever be able to do again, if my life depended on it. Well, eventually it got late enough for us all to leave, since Decnal had to go to Green Bay for the weekend. So, we went ahead and left, going back home for the rest of the night.

Saturday, I woke up early and went to Green Bay. I was going because Tigero had asked me to, he wanted to hang out with me for the day. So, I packed up DDR and made my way. When we arrived, I met Tigero's mom, and his friend Al came over. We all started playing, and it was fun watching them learn the game. Al really took to it, and kept playing for well over an hour after Tigero and I were too tired to keep going. I was really tired, apparently, because I fell asleep on Tigero's couch for a couple hours, too. Well, after my brief nap, I woke up, hung out with Tigero and Al for a bit longer, then I decided to go home, for two main reasons. One, if I was that tired, then I didn't want to stay too late, and become too tired to drive home. Two, I was really, really, REALLY missing Tim. So, I went home, with a few calls from Tim in the meantime. He and Nanaga had gone to Bit and Stunt's house, and Draven and Bit were having a bit of fun at my expense. That was fine, but I was too tired yet to go and hang out, so I just waited at home for them to get back. After that, I gave Tim the hug I'd been wanting to give him all day, and then we all went to bed.

Sunday, I had made sure to set aside time to do laundry. With MFF just around the corner, I want to make sure I have clean stuff to wear. So, Tim and I went to my parent's house. The only ones home were Greg and Amber, since my parents are both in Cuba. My dad as part of his service in the Air Force, and my mom to visit him for a week. However, this did give us a chance to talk to Greg and Amber, and catch up on things. Well, we stayed around for a while, getting clothes washed and talking to Greg, Amber, and the friends who were coming over. Until, eventually it was time to go home, and I was able to grab a few more of my things that I'd forgotten from when I moved out a few months ago. After we got home, it was once again time to sleep.

Yeah, I know, this weekend wasn't necessarily all that exciting, but it was my weekend, and I cherish it. But, I shall make up space here with a bit of MFF news. I had accepted the idea that I would be the only one in our apartment to go to MFF this year, since Nanaga and Tim couldn't get enough money together to go. But, due to some charity from our friends, namely Swann and Hayashi, they can both go! This is great news, because I'll be able to spend my first con with my mate! Hurrah! Huzzah! Other various noises and cries of glee, jubilation and happiness!

Thank you, Swann! Thank you for being so nice and helping Tim get to MFF this year!

Thank you, Hayashi! Thanks for being so nice to Nanaga and letting her go, too!

Both of you guys are the best!
