Alright, after a somewhat decent day at work, I have returned to sanity and am doing pretty okay, though still tired and PCD setting in =/ I'd be lying if I said it wasn't. Hard to return to a work mindset after such a fucking awesome weekend. Okay, here we go. I need to spill it out because I'm already kind of forgetting D:

Thursday
I was majorly stressing because it looked like it was going to be another busy day at work where I'd work until 10 PM and I wanted to get there really early. I finished my last call at 6 PM. By then, my phone was buzzing off the hook with calls from my brother and furs I was needing to pick up asking me where I was. I hurried home, packed whatever i could find for the hotel. I'd been working so much I didn't prepare =/ but I scrounged some old badges and random clothes and it worked. I first picked up  closet_fennec. I grabbed my vehicle and went downtown Dallas to pick up  fredyhusky who had been sitting at Subway for five hours. I was still feeling nervous from the day. And I was meeting a friend,  Jonathan_Talbain, I ended up driving the wrong way on a couple of streets =/ I pulled over and told him to meet me at McDonald's parking lot, which I did. I've known this guy for years so it was great to see him finally. then we headed to the hotel!

Paid for the hotel, got to my room and Chris. While settling in Chris grabbed a friend named.. um, Malkei or something. I know I'm wrong. Either way, he was friendly. Then I scooted around and walked 'round the con and went to sleep.

Friday
Got up early and found furries already roaming the halls @.@ Even at 7:30AM! I was surprised. Got registered and saw my good friend  Mitchkenzo in line =3 Roamed around and saw another good friend  fenixraccoon. And through some friend of friends, another fur named Chase all boarded up in my vehicle for some lunch at Which Wich. Me, Chris, Fenix, Adam, Chase, and Mitch. Wow. XD My vehicle only seats 5. Poor Mitch volunteered to snuggle himself in the trunk. Poor guy!

After lunch, I came in just in time to welcome another good friend,  Myffubs, and get a much needed tight squeeze =D Did more con activities and the opening ceremonies. Got to see  secretsoftye again. Was nice. ^^ Just as silly as I remember ;p Also met more people through friends, including  tanukisan, who is very cool :D After a big dinner, I got a badge commissioned from  balto, bought a necklace, Circles 8, and went to the live Knotcast broadcast but I had to leave unexpectedly because my bestestestest Margay buddy  Tsuki_darkstar and his mate Tristian finally came in... it was so nice meeting him cause we've been close for so long, it was fantastic to see him again. Plus Tristan was equally friendly and nice!

Oh. Um. before that, I was offered a little bit of sake.. and.. um. x-x Not so good results xD I'm sure a lightweight. I did sober up but was pretty buzzing for a while. The long day came with a hard crash asleep!

Saturday
My natural body clock got me up again at 7:30 and I was roaming the halls a little bit. Dressed up, talked to people, and then got everybody up for more fun. X3 For lunch, all of us went to Sweet Tomatoes, goofed off, ran around and got pics of fursuiters. Saw a hilarious improv set with them, too =3 We then all saw the fursuit parade and many people we knew there. Then it was dinner at El Fenix, with everyone again. Kind of a rude waiter. =/ Was another great time though. Fenix and I ran into a furry literature panel afterwards but it was boring. I was feeling a little bit too tired and stressed so I got away for a bit and crashed at his place.

Had a talk that helped me re-think about myself and such. Afterwards, I got much needed quietness. Was very rewarding!

Sunday
After getting ready, we drove to the con for the last day. Wasn't too much. Caught up with everyone and then everybody split for a bit. Had a small lunch, watched a little movies, also ran into more people. People were leaving bit by bit, though. I kept roaming the halls until closing ceromonies. Afterwards, Fenix left, Tsuki and Tristan shortly afterwards. Chris said goodbye to Melkai (again, I got it wrong I am sure), and I went saying bye to just 'bout everyone I knew. The last person I saw was  Dizzie, who too talked to me for a while and was great to be around.

I drove Chris home and realized I forgot my phone at the con. After getting it, I crashed at home, drove Adam to the bus stop, and then went to Jury Duty that was scheduled. 6 hours of sitting just to be told that the case was settled out of court. There went the day.


oh! i did remember something new. There was a bulletin board on the front area of the 2nd floor in which I wrote "I can't be the only coyote here!". I seriously didn't run into any others. The next day, 2 people replied:  Kayote and Oki Doki Coyote. Didn't meet the first. :[ I ran into Oki Doki in the Con Suite room on accident, I said hi and then realized it was him to responded. Had a lil talk about the awesomeness it is of being a coyote fur as well as how we live our lives in that mannerisms. I ran into him again in the fursuit pinata incident event and gave 'him a good ol scritch :D

It may have been insignificant but it sure was cool and left a lil impact. On top of that, it really made me want a fursuit. XD Even a partial. Now that my parents' loan is paid off and FF is over, I will make it a project this year to have some sort of thing ready for the next year. I know it'll be costly, though D= Plus I need to find accepting artists and creators and whatnot.. oh well. I for sure want to begin something.


I know I forgot other events, some people. I seriously can't name it all. I just want to thank everyone <3 It was sooooo much fun :D Posted this from my LJ to here just for reference =3
