I started having these glorious, imaginitive nightmares.
Then they stopped.
It was like a rollercoaster, absolutely terrifying but a great thrill when it was finished. Now they're gone.
It makes me sad.

My mum found me with my collar on today;

She knows it is a collar now, she saw it in full light and I already know what she assumes. She assumes something sexual about it, I know it, It's not true but I KNOW she does and I'm scared and I'm worried. She came in when I was wearing it, but I covered it with my jacket, she had seen my collar before for a split second, but thought it was a necklace, but no, she sees it now and asks why I have I'm wearing my jacket up. I go "No reason" she forces me to pull it down and sees the collar in full light, "that looks like a collar" she says. She looks at me and says "don't be stupid" I say "what do you mean" she goes "YOU KNOW what I mean". Well, I didn't know, I asked her again as she was walking up to her room, she kept saying she knew what I meant, I asked her one more time. She stopped, in the middle of the stairs, I don't know why, but she did, then she looked at me and just said "no". Then walked away into her room to sleep.

  I don't WANT to tell her about the fandom now, I don't know what to do though, she's gonna tell my dad, my family, my whole family but my brother will know and they'll assume the worst. GOSH I don't want to be such a weird kid with her, she doesn't deserve it goddamn it. I don't know, I don't want this. GRRR I DON'T WANT THIS! GRARG.

The only thing worse than listening to my mother yell into her cell phone from across the house all the time, is listening to my mother yell into her cell phone from across the house while she has speakerphone turned on with the volume all the way up.

Be warned, my language is about to get rather... french. Don't  unspoil unless you wanna see some heated language.
 
 
Spoiler for Hidden:

My bitch of a stepmom has taken all rights away from my little brother. She took his 4th of july fireworks away, he can't speak badly of her, and she threatens anything bad he does with harsher than required consequences. EVEN better than this A marine I know was recently honorably discharged for medical reasons. Better than all of this I'm caught up in a dispute between two my
friends involving a boy they both like.
All I need now is confirmation that my brother has lost the rights to his child from a bitch *removed*. *removed*
On a lesser note, with less cussing, I haven't heard from a freidn in two days, and I already miss them.

My parents and I had Chinese food for dinner tonight. I always order two egg rolls with my food so that I can eat one with dinner and have one leftover for lunch the next day. My parents never eat egg rolls with their meals, but tonight my mom decided she wanted one. So instead of ordering extra egg rolls beforehand or even asking me about it, she took and ate one of mine. When I asked her why she did that, because she knows I like to have an extra one for the next day, she just tells me "I paid for the food, I can eat an egg roll if I want to."

I probably would have let her have it if she'd just asked, but it fricken pisses me off that I'm treated like I never have the right to be upset about anything just because my parents use their money on me sometimes.

Alright so I'm somewhat photophobic, meaning that I have quite the aversion to strong light. So when I spend my time working in the dining room, I keep the lights off an work by candle light. Keep in mind the lights in there are somewhere between a supernova and what the discharge of the big bang likely looked like.
It is incredibly painful for me to be in there while they are on. So mi madre, she decides that she wants something to drink, turns THREE of them on all at once with no warning, even though they were completely unessesary (you can see just fine in the twilight I had created with the candles) and then left them on. When I complain about this, her response was "It's wierd to be in the dark. You should turn more lights on anyway." I explain that I have an aversion to lights, and that I only have the candles lit so that there is sufficient light to read and her response "That's wierd" and then she turns the lights back on! WHY?!
To torment me...

I just remember what else i was going to rant about

Recently us congress repealed the stolen valor act which makes it legal to claim you were in the military and received honors even if you didnt actually serve and that makes me really *censored* mad that someone can pretend to have earned the congressional medal of honor when they didnt congress repealed it because it offended someone but it *censored* offends me when someone lies about being a war hero when they are just sitting on their butts at home when the people who really deserve those honors are fighting and dying every day

Had to completely wipe my computer after a crash. Couldn't even boot it in safe mode.
 
I lost ALL of my projects for garrysmod. Gm_scream_II, Slenderman Mod, Subconscious Mod, and quite a few side projects that haven't ever been done in source.
 
There goes 2.5 years of work. I'm pretty sad to be honest  :'(

My friend invited me to hang out at his house and when I got there he asked me to help clean out his pool (a big cement tank). I was wearing sandals at the time but said I'd help anyways. we started to drain it which takes a few hours. So we were going to go back later. And he got his truck stuck so we had to walk to his house a few miles away. To make it worse it was the middle of the day and live in Texas. So we started to head to his house then my sandals snapped about ten ft from the pool so my feet kinda hurt.

C&Ped from my youtube outbox. Just a portion of a topic while I was discussing transhumanism with a friend, and I felt the want to share it with you guys. Its on the topic of anthropocentrism, whicch is why furries exist, and why furries have less anthropocentrism. Anthropocentrism is just valuing "humans" over anything else, or that everything that isn't human is somehow "inferior," or "evil". Here goes.


On anthropocentrism, its "arrogant" for valuing, irrationally, humans (no matter what personality or state) above all else, in other words, saying that humans are special for being special, and are above all else. Aliens, animals, Sentient and Sapient AIs, under the guise of anthropocentrism they are worth nothing next to human.

As an example, a human would protect human remains of an unknown person from being devoured by hungry animals simply because it is human, as opposed to allowing the animals to fulfill their desires.
Its preservation of the non-living as opposed to preservation of the living, and people undoubtedly find joy in being alive and witnessing life.
To give another example, its like caring for a pet rock to the detriment of the pet cat.
Its an appeal to emotion, something morality is based off of, but rationality can also involve emotions and morality, and is not irrational for acting as an extension.

If that seems confusing (It is a little bit to me even) it's just rationality applied to ethics. I read somewhere Ethics is just applied morality, and morality has no basis in logic. However, it is not illogical to desire to fulfill our moral "obligations," indeed, the emotion of happiness is nearly dependent on it, and happiness is a desired state of emotion. So morality, can be approached objectively even with its subjective roots, and ethics is just the application of such.
Seeing as its unethical to deny food to someone hungry provided he gives you what you would desire in return, why then can that not apply to non-human entities as well?
As such, that's my refutation of anthropocentrism. Indeed, I have even gone so far as "rebelling" against it by taking up reptilocentrism. (I can't remember if I already stated that.)

The reasons for this are simple and bound by logic; the first being that I like reptiles. A lot. I even do feel a sexual attraction to anthropomorphic reptiles (Even I cannot completely rid myself of anthropocentrism, at least, not yet. Note that this not bestiality, the desire for non-anthropomorphic sexual relations.) and desire to become a reptile myself. (The Spinosaurus project)
The second reason is that anthropocentrism is a threat to rationality and Transhumanism, and especially to Posthumanism. This can be demonstrated by the popular concept of cyborgs as being "lesser" people and being revolted by the "unnatural," which is natural fallacy.

So by rebelling against this concept I hope to raise awareness of its irrationality and make people understand the reasons why its inherently morally objectionable.

I think that was a nice well-laid out rant, what do you think? (rant being a long speech on a topic, not with any emotional connotation attached.)

I love how eloquent you are in what I am assuming was general conversation, Zombie. ANd I agree it is a well laid out argument, even if I'm pretty sure the average furry doesnt focus along those particular lines of debate.
Anyway, on to my "vent"!
 
Well, anywho, my hallucinations are getting ever more frequent and vivid. Recently a recurring figure has showed prominance in my concious nightmares, a thin man... Wearing a grey pinstripe suit, his features obscured by a gas mask, one of an older make with  a porthole visor, all-rubber construction and singular ventilation unit. The portholes are tinted rose-red...
He appears to me every night now. It's a tad on the unnerving. The silent watcher...
 
Admittedly it has made me long for a pinstripe suit. Rather dapper thing.
