It's just a hobby for alot of furs. To me it's more, though, it's something engrained in me. Most people I know don't know what I am, I don't know any furs in real life that live close enough to hang out with, and I've never had an opportunity to wear a fursuit, or anything even related (except the tail, ears, and paws I made, and that was on Halloween, lol). So for me being a furry is more who I am, who I was born as, than an actual lifestyle.

I like being furry because we are all very accepting and kind. It's true, unlike society as a whole. Furries tend to accept one another regardless of our race, sexual preferences, religion, ideals, etc. This is a place where golden hearted souls gather to talk and interact. Being furry is more than just donning a fursuit and making animal noises. It's about how you live and treat others. All furries are nice, I've yet to meet one who was a total dick.

Aside from this I usually write stories and train my OCs in Pokemon: Black. I love guns, especially Airsoft. I can also sew and make cosplay suits. I don't want a full fursuit because their big, bulky, and hot. With the cosplay suits I make you can actually sleep, eat, run, and wear them all day without worry of heatstroke. Being a water type Pokefur I've been wanting to swim in it sometime when nobody's looking  >.> But the one ironic thing about me is:

I never learned to swim  XD

True true. There is a furry forum I won't name that I made an account on awhile back, and those people were completely different from the ones here. They scoffed at me for making "animal noises" and being "cute" - on a furry forum.  o.O Just when you think you know everything about a group, you find the rotten eggs that are always out there. That's why I love this forum. This is my internet home where everyone's kind, thoughful, and respectful. For the most part, that's what being a furry has taught me to be like.

Right?
I say to each his own, even if I think he's making a spectacle of himself. (But the thing is that its on a furry forum! You're in the company of FURS for goodness sakes! You should be able to make all the cute sounds you want!)

I don't go out and do all that in mixed company, and I don't exactly like it when other people do because it makes it uncomfortable in my opinion, but that's just what it is, an opinion.

But yea... I've been stuck on making my feet paws... I hope I can get them done by October. :P

That doesn't even make sense to me. I mean, I can understand not feeling the need or desire to be cute and make animal type noises yourself, but making fun of a fellow fur for doing that just does not compute for me. I guess I could understand it from the standpoint of some people believing that doing things like that only perpetuate stereotypes, but my response to those people would be to lighten up. >.<   And yeah, I also feel like this forum has become my internet home. It's safe, warm, and comfy. I like it here. :P

I didn't even know furaffinity had forums. Glad to know I'm not missing anything.

I've been pretty bored lately.  I've been going through my game collection and cleaning out every single nes, snes, genesis and whatever other games I have.  I"m getting ready to open a store online that I can start selling everything on.  And I"m working 3 days a week.  When I'm not doing either of those activities I'm either watching tv or playing some nes games.  My PS3 YLOD'ed a few months back and I just got an extimate from sony.  $159 to fix the system.  I'd rather just save my money and buy another one.

I don't have much social life for certain reasons.  I have really bad hearing so I don't bother starting a conversation with others unless it's a person that knows I wear hearing aids.  And there's nothing outside of a few message boards or video games that really grab my attention.  Espically with where I live.   And I hate that I can't talk sexually towards any other person so it makes me feel alone in that part of the world.

And I heard somebody say that they like being a furry cause of the openess and not being judged.  Myself too but I think if I went into too much detail I would be shunned.
