I have not exactly told anybody yet, but I bring my kunii knife to school with me (DISCREETLY) and I always wear a ring on my right forefinger and (on most days) a necklace with the rune of protection on it. The only person who really knows is Shiizune. The FBI are trying to screw up my life, but THAT has nothing to do with my being a furry. They just hate me because I know that they're idiots.  ;)

T_T WHY MUST EVERYONE THINK THAT WE DON'T WEAR CLOTHES?! WE WEAR CLOTHES!)

I just said that I'm a furry in the "About me" section of my Facebook profile.

I wonder how it will turn out...  :S

I don't really tell people unless I think they'd be interested in the content, too.

Fun fact, though, two of my friends that are creeped out by furries know I'm a furry. It's great that we're such good friends that we don't care. xD

Today I though about telling my mom I'm gay (or bi) and furry.
Me and my mom are very close, there is nothing that can cut this bond (except for the obvious 5 letter word). 2 years ago (I was 12 years old) I told my mom I watched porn (straight that time), I must admit that her reaction was quite good. We talked about it for a night (we started talking while having dinner at McDonald's), she told me her experiences and such. At the end we all laughed and she didn't block me from anything and she understood very well.
If I told her I was gay (or bi) and furry I can't imagine her going past the "Are you sure?" mark, she would accept without any worries.

The rest of the family... weeeeellll that wouldn't be so easy. My father died in 2002 and I didn't get to know him enough to say if he would accept it or not, my two brothers though. Those certainly wouldn't know until I'm like 25 :P
Hoo Wee! Makin' bacon!
I'm a gay(or bi) furry that lives on a pineapple under the sea! X3

Ha, well they know me, they know what I am and am not like/do and don't do. There's no misconception about the "little too into these characters and what the crap is that one folder for?" thing.

my friend is now telling my mom I'm harrassing him cause I asked why we weren't fried cause he thinks I'm a freak for being furry o.o

Maybe he's the freak. What'd you say, anyway? ._.

To my friend when he called me a freak?
I said "how am I a freak?" and he was all "you like to dress up like an animal and have sex" and i'm like "one, have you ever seen me in any animal-y clothes, and do I LOOK like i've ever even THOUGHT of sex, let alone had it!?" and he was all "you draw porn though!" and i'm like "well if drawing a girl in a wedding dress is porn than i do that all the time, jerk!"
I'm a devil, but I'm not bad most of the time. Okay I'm only bad some of the time. Okay maybe I'm bad all of the time. ;D

Still not sure what reaction I'll get on facebook...  :/

I tried to tell some guys who sit near me in english class today, but I don't think that they know what a furry is.

The FBI is still out to attempt to screw my life up...

And failing.

'Cause they're IDIOTS.

(YEAH!) ;)
