So its been awhile since I have posted a journal. I figured some of you might like to know that i am still alive and well. So big changes ahead for me!!

Come October 9th I will be moving to Missouri. Carmax offered me a position at a new store they are opening near St. Louis and I accepted it. I will be doing the same job that I do now, appraising vehicles and going to auctions. I am very excited to move and live in the midwest! I won't have a place till November most likely (hopefully a sweet loft apartment :) ), so once that happens I will be an official Missouri resident! So if any of you live in Missouri we should hang out.

I am going to miss all my Connecticut friends, a lot. But I will be back to visit as my family still lives there. I wish I had known some of you for longer then just a few months, you guys are all awesome and you know who you are!!

I have lived with you for the past year and it has been a blast. I never expected to move so soon to be honest. I really enjoyed our place. I am gonna miss you a lot man. I wish you the best of luck at your new job, though I know I will be getting updates haha.

So thats it. I am finally gonna get out of CT!! That alone makes me very excited haha.

Till next time,

Tocoma

Yes, today is my birthday. I turn 24. I am no longer in my early twenties, and my car insurance is still going to be expensive for another year. And I can't rent a car yet.

However, I am also now, as  Sozan_Ryker so elegantly put it... An old man.

I think I am going to go take a nap now.

So I like to try and go to a new con every year. And I have heard good things about TFF. I was just curious as to how many of you all might go? I am really thinking about just because I may actually not be able to FCN due to an important work event I may have to attend. Also, this con is right before my birthday so I think spending it at a con would be great!

Hopefully some of you go :P

~Tocoma~

I am going, getting there Thursday, early morning. If anyone is there then let me know so that way I know I won't be completely alone haha.

Anyway, I hope this con is fun. I went in 2010 and had a blast so I hope 2012 is just as good, I really need to go let loose and just forget about stuff!

Hope to meet some new people and see some old friends as well :3

See everyone soon,

Tocoma

So this past weekend I went and visited and we had a blast! I got to meet his college roommates and spend some nice alone time together. This past weekend marked 1 year since we met each other, we didn't officially start dating until December. But I am so happy I had the chance to spend some time with him, he really is the greatest person I know, I just love him sooooo much!! <3333

In just a few days Furfright is upon us! I am really excited this year. I get to see my wolf again and ITS FURFRIGHT!! Why shouldn't you be excited :P

The one crappy thing is that I have to work Friday and Saturday. The shifts are mainly during the days and I will be around at night. I won't be very drunk though on Friday haha. It's unfortunate that I have to work, but the job always comes before a con.

So anyways, I will be staying at the main hotel with a big group of faggots. I can only imagine the shenanigans that will ensue hehe. (Love you guys)

Hope to see as many people as time allows, and I hope everyone has a safe con!!

Wishing you all the best!

~Tocoma~

So I found out today that, after searching all summer,  bios and I will be getting an apartment together! Lets see if I can handle all of his gayness.

I am pretty excited, new place to live, new job and an amazing boyfriend to top it all off with ( Sozan_Ryker). I just wish he could be here to help me move my shit! :P

Anyways, just giving you all an update incase I fall of the grid because we probably aren't going to have internet for a day or so once we sign the lease and start turning on everything.

This is going to be fun!!

Yes I will be at this gathering thats called a convention :P

Going to see friends, have fun times and get drunk. Oh, and maybe do some suiting as well haha.

Anyways, keep an eye out for my ugly mug!

Cya there!

Yup, that time of the year again when lots of people decide to run around in fluffly animal costumes barking and yipping at each other.

I shall be there! Staying at the marriot again because its the best hotel. Getting to Pittsburgh on Thursday but will be outside the Pittsburgh area Wednesday because I am going to rock Kennywood first!

Staying with the usual bunch of homos

While at the con, much suiting and shenanigans are gonna happen, I will probably be with  Sozan_Ryker the whole time because he told me I had to. So you find me, you find him as well. Or vice versa.

There will be lots of drinking and eating at some of the fine restaurants in Pittsburgh.

More drinking of course!

Also, come find me if you want, I certainly am not going to find you (hopefully), and don't be afraid to say hi! :D

More importantly, I know I am gonna have fun. I don't make plans, I let each day unfold and see where the craziness takes me. Everyone should enjoy themselves, thats what cons are for!

Anyways, see all ya faggots there.

~Tocoma~

http://www.furbuy.com/auctions/1026295.html

Today is the last day you can register! Only 400 some odd spots left then we are at our 1500 people max for this con. So if you plan on going I would highly recommend registering now and not taking a chance at the door.

http://www.furfright.org/attendee_registration.htm <_______ leads to registration!

I can't wait for Furfright this year, last year was so much fun, but this year I am actually staying in a hotel room and not commuting lol.

But first comes Rainfurrest for me, which I will be at in 5 days!

I started a new job a couple weeks ago. Working at Carmax full time and so far, I love it!

I am a Reconditioning Associate/Inventory Specialist. So I help load, unload transporters, I do Final Quality Checks on vehicles before they go salable on the front lot and take cars through emissions that come from out of state. Also, if someone buys a car I do the final prep on it.

Overall I am happy with it, I wanted to work around cars for a long time and now I get to! I don't plan on staying an RA, I do plan on becoming a Buyer within a year.

Anyways, just a little update on my life right now.

~Tocoma~

Yea, I did it haha.


Friendly

You would rather hang out with others than spend time alone, and you'd far rather be doing something with your friends than just sitting around. You're happy in a crowded room, club, stadium, or auditorium.
You're not a private person who is ill at ease in a group; you don't view excessive socializing as a waste of time.

Poised

You tend to feel at home wherever you find yourself, even in unfamiliar settings, with new people. It takes a lot to rattle you, and when rattled you recover quickly and gracefully.
You are usually not self-conscious or nervous when you're in an unfamiliar environment or with people you don't know.

Upbeat

You enjoy being around others and others enjoy being around you. You have a "live and let live" attitude; because you know that no one's perfect, you are forgiving and happy to give the benefit of the doubt.
You don't feel the need to be controversial or express contrary opinions all the time. You see no reason to go around rubbing people the wrong way.

Optimistic

You are a "glass half-full" kind of person, always on the lookout for the silver lining. Your happiness is contagious, which is why others like to be around you.
You do not feel that the world is an intrinsically depressing place; you are not the kind of "realist" who thinks that only fools find joy in life.

Calm

You rarely become irritated, generally accept people as they are, take things as they come, and feel relaxed in most situations.
You do not let a minor annoyance escalate to a confrontation. You don't regularly snap at those around you or fly off the handle with little provocation.

Cooperative

You enjoy teamwork, play well with others, and prefer getting along to winning.
You're not compelled to win every contest nor to be right all the time.

Aesthetic

You appreciate art, beauty, and design; you know that they are not superficial but absolutely crucial to living the good life. You have good taste, and you're proud of it. Those with a high score on the "aesthetic" trait are often employed in literary or artistic professions, enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about the arts, reading, and travel.
You don't think it's pretentious to be moved by art and beauty. You're not one of those who believe it doesn't matter what something looks like as long as it does its job.

Intellectual

You are thoughtful, rational, and comfortable in the world of ideas. People find you interesting to talk to. You're the living embodiment of the saying "You learn something new every day." In general, those with a high score on the "intellectual" trait are employed in such fields as teaching and research, and are enthusiastic about reading, foreign films, and classical music.
You do not avoid abstract conversation, experimenting with new ideas, or studying new things. It bores you to stick to the straight and narrow of what you already know.

Extroverted

You are ready to talk at the drop of a hat. Whether you're in the office or at a party, you're likely to be found gabbing away in the middle of a group of people. If you have a high score on the "extroverted" trait, you are probably among those who enjoy communicating with their friends (on the phone, on line, texting…), hanging out, and finding the best parties.
You are not shy or unwilling to spend a fair amount of time socializing. People you meet generally do not feel they have a hard time getting to know you.

Accessible

You're comfortable expressing yourself in words and actions, with no self-censorship. You believe that if someone doesn't like what they see it's not your problem, but theirs. A high score on the "accessible" trait suggests that you have a lot of friends, socialize often, and enjoy rap/hip-hop music.
You don't see the need to keep your thoughts to yourself, or to have a zone of privacy that encompasses only yourself and a small circle of friends and relatives.

So, today is the last day before AC and Kennywood. Heading over to after work and then we are leaving earlish for Kennywood. Its a theme park right outside of Pittsburgh. So Wednesday will be full of driving and then roller coasters!! I know your all jealous now!! =P

Me and Bios got a cheap hotel for Wednesday night and what will most likely be a cheap continental breakfast Thursday morning before the start of AC.

Then of course will be a weekend filled with much fun and shenanigans!!

So Anthrocon is like, right around the corner. And I can't wait!!

I will be there.

There will be beer.

There will be much shenanigans.

Maybe some suiting.

There will be fun times had.

There will be lots of fags around, like  bios

Will probably be around  bios most times, I am kinda gay like that, but who knows!

I can't wait to see everyone again, and meet some new faces!

This song is amazing!

If you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it "I'm afraid of 'X' out of 72 common fears".

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling.
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.

Ok, well almost over, but whatever =P

So, 2010 was one of the highlight years in my life. I think I met more people this year alone then the past 20 years. I have made dozens of new friends, people at this time last year I only dreamed about meeting. I had always just kinda assumed that CT was a barren zone for furries, oh how wrong I was! Hell, I drive 20 minutes down the road and I am at my best friends house. 30 minutes down the road I am at FurFright lol. I still want to move from CT someday, but that decision won't be easy at all.

Last year at this time I was only hoping to make Anthrocon, "my first convention ever!" Thats how it was in my head haha. But before I knew it, I was going to FWA, and that was an amazing con! My first time really talking and interacting with other furries. Lots of new friends were made, and friendships which had only been online strengthened. I would love to go to FWA again this year, I just don't see it happening =(. I did go to Anthrocon, and it was amazing, really amazing, met someone who is really special to me, and always will be <3. Then came FurFright an awesome con run by some of the nicest people ever. MWFF was the last con this year for me, and it was a great way to end the con season for me. Most of my closest friends were there, which made it special.

This year was big for me on a personal level too. A lot of firsts, all of the memorable. I have realized myself that I am gay. For years I was calling myself "Bi." I also realized that I don't really know what I want to do for a career, still working on that one lol.

As for next year, I hope it will be a good one. I think it will be though. I have made some resolutions that I will share with you guys after I have did them, cause they will be big news, for me haha. I also have personal goals I hope to achieve somehow. But I am looking forward to 2011.

Happy New Years guys! Everyone one of you has made my 2010 the biggest year of my life.

Thanks for 2010,

Tocoma

Hi all!

Just wanted to take the time to wish you all a Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a happy new year. The end of this year has been a little rough for me and I thank those who have talked to me and have been there for me while I have been dealing with all my crap *hugs you tightly*

Also, it was about a year ago that I got active in the fandom and what a year it has been. I had many new experiences this year. I have met some wonderful people whom I never would have. I realize that I really am not as alone as I thought I was in my state. I feel proud to say that I have great friends from all over the world, from every corner of the United States to England and Australia, and a few in between, and I hope to make many more in the upcoming year. To all my watchers a big thank you! Not sure why you are watching me haha, but I appreciate it =3

My first year in the fandom and I went to four cons, I still can't believe I did that haha. This new however I will not make as many, in fact in may only be one or two. I just have more important things to take care of first rather then going to cons.

If anyone reads this, thank you! Again, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Please be safe!

With love,

Tocoma
