This little mutt talks too much!

[fleet]

Hey there everyone
My name's Fleet~ but you all can call me Fleetsy if you want. xD Or anything else!
I'm not really sure what to say here, uh. ><
I'm rather pitifully shy, I like to eat, and I'm a sucker for someone tall.
[Predictably interested in someone tall, dark and handsome in my future? Maybe so xDD]

Basically, underneath the fur, I'm very much gender confused, but the important thing is that my main fursona is male, and I don't have a female set out yet!
Not sure if a life story is really warranted, but you can have a very abridged one. x3

Basically, the furry fandom [and all related things such as anthros or simply talking animals] interested me for years [since I was a young child, in fact], but due to the public outcry against them during the initial uprising [and popularization] of 4chan, it seemed I was doomed to meekly follow along the line of hate. Now of course, since I'm older [a whopping 20, going on 21 come October!], I've come to realize I was an incredibly stupid teenager. xD

Since then I've sketched up several ideas of a fursona, but very few have stuck like Fleet did. I tried a hound mix of some sort, a German Shpeherd, of course, but finally settled on a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. While I have more of a fondness for Cardigans, I can't deny that the cheerfulness, stubby tail, and ability to eat themselves to death identified with me far more than any breed -- in fact, an average Pembroke seemed to embody all the traits I wanted to possess for myself. So of course, isn't part of a fursona to become that character? Naturally, I am much more outgoing as Fleet than I am as myself, and I imagine that if I can actually, one day, get a suit [or partial] of him, I'd be able to actually grow as a person, with the confidence that suit might give me. I know it's not a quick fix - I'm painfully shy most of the time and socially, I flounder and mess up a lot, and I'm terrified of rejection - but I'm hoping Fleet can help channel some of that friendliness I have for my friends to those I don't know yet.

On the topic of the name Fleet, it was originally given to an old stuffed German Shepherd I had since I was at least 4 years of age -- I had no idea what the word meant, only that it sounded awesome and the first definition I learned of it was 'fast'. He was the reason I thought my fursona would clearly be a shepherd. Unfortunately, while some traits match well with me, I'm much more attached to Fleet as a Pem than a GSD.
But I don't plan on changing my doll's name, because he's been with me through everything over the years.

OKAY. That's enough out of my dumb mouth -- this is why I shouldn't go without coffee for two weeks and then drink two cups of coffee at one in the morning. xP

Hugs and kisses,
Fleetsy 

 
PS;

 
Just noticed that awsome little listy thing, so let's answer a couple of those questions as well!

 
 

• Favourite movies are Citizen Kane,The Road to El Dorado, High Society, Paint Your Wagon, The Quiet Man, The Sound of Music, aaaaand... Hm. Beauty and the Beast!
• Favourite games are defs Final Fantasy VIII/8, Threads of Fate, Rockband [xP I'm not even proud], and Persona 4. 
• Favourite music... Gawd. I don't think I have any right now. I've been listening to this one playlist constantly. But some music I can almost always listen to is The Killers, My Chemical Romance [ Who I will miss bunches], Nick Cave, Tom Waits, and Katy Perry. Sometimes Beyonce.
• My faaaavourite colour. Hrm. Probably like a cadet blue? I always waffle here.
• And mostly I'm just looking for friends. -_- Everyone's always saying I need more of them. Since I have all of like two to my name at the moment!

Ahaha, if only I could read that without squinting my eyes, and staring at a weird angle. Dark red is a bad choice
Aaaaanywho, pleased to make your acquaintance! My name's valen, I'm an aspiring writer and rather forgetful.
Pray do feel welcome here, there's alot of nice people around to ease the first few days

[fleet]

Oh, holy crap, I didn't even notice it was in red Which is odd since I wrote it on here. Google Chrome are you being a dink again?
I will go and change that presently.
It's lovely to meet you though, and thank you for the sweet welcome

[FeralWings]

Hrah, that's a new one. Oh well, it's back to white now, so that shouldn't be a problem anymore

Hey, welcome to the forum ^^
Nice introduction post.

If I may ask, what gender are you in real life physically?


And sorry, I couldn't help but laugh when you mentioned those Corgi's have a tendency to eat themselves to death and then you say you want to embody the traits of that specific dog breed. I hope you don't want to eat yourself to death
That would be bad, you just got here!


As for 'needing' more friends, that's solely up to yourself   Others shouldn't tell you to get more friends. If you think 2 friends is enough, then that's enough for you ^^
For a long time, I only had one real friend and I was glad with that.

And another question ;D
What's your fav. colour?
