I got a good laugh. :3 And it speeks truth.

Well, sings it. But still.

*dance*

Furries are diverse - let me say that first. And it's this one fact which confuses the worst. We don't all have costumes or collect stuffed toys, so allow me to separate the signal from the noise.

First off, what's furry? That's an easy thing to tell: It's an animal that happens to be human as well. In technical terms we call it anthropomorphics, But it's easy to explain without all the linguistics; If it walks like a person but meows like a cat, You've got yourself a furry - it's as simple as that!

If it talks like a person and flies like a bird, Then it's still a furry even though it sounds absurd. 'Cause even though birds have feathers and not fur, Mammals are the commonest type of furry in the world So the word comes from them. Even starting with a fly, You'll end up with a furry no matter how hard you try.

That's a furry. That's a furry, that's a furry. I will sing it. That's a fuuurry. That's a furry, that's a furry. That's a furry you know.

So, that's a furry character but what about the rest? A furry is a person to whom furries are an interest. So both the character and the viewer are furry - It'll all make sense soon, so don't worry.

Most furries never meet face to face. We come from everywhere, all over the place. There's furries in the Americas and in the EU. There's furries in Asia and Australasia too. On the Internet we gather from the soil of all nations: All ages and races; both genders; a range of educations. Here we are, all the furries are we, Whether artists or congoers or strictly RP.

Now to help with the furry jargon here's some quick education: RP is roleplaying in a made-up situation; A fursona is a furry you pretend to be, Usually one you make up yourself for other people to see. In furry lingo, one word stands out: And that word is yiff and this is what it's all about. Or maybe I'll shut up and move right along, Because you can't define yiff in a polite sort of song. And that's without touching scritching or spooge, When it comes to furry-speak, there's a veritable deluge. But that's about the quota for the second verse done, So join in the chant and have some fun!

Furry. This is furry. This is furry. This is furry, furry! Furry! (We're not furbies, by the way.)

To make a furry's easy - anyone can do it: You take your favourite animal and mix a human through it. You modify the product - is it real or cartoony? Is it two legs or four? Is it straight? Is it loony? Does it have a pair of wings sprouting out of its back? Does it have an extra set of legs that other furs lack? Can it talk or does it speak with psychic communication? Is it you? Is it not? Is it just speculation?

Once you have your fursona all sorted out, You can take a walk and see what we are all about. Some of us have gone and made a costume for effect - But that's a different story - fursuiters on the left and to the right we have the artists, who are numerous in style: Anyway you like it, they can draw it with a smile! But keep in mind that in the mix is every sort of thing And not all of it for children, which can be a bit of a sting.

Experimentation is the order of the day; Imagination keeps our minds at play. Now the next verse is long so I'm going to abort And start the chant early to keep the third one short.

We're Furry. We're Furry. We're Furry. Furry. So Furry. So Furry. So Furry! aaaaah....

Up to the downside of all this furry fun: Some people don't get it not all, just some. Misinformation and lies are afoot! It's crap up with which I shall not put! Hey MTV! Hey Vanity Fair! Take a bow, Eurotrash and Marie Claire! And a special shout out to - you know what? I don't care. If I bitch about detractors, it's a total waste of air.

I'm only a furry to have fun, say what you like. Anti-furry propaganda can take a long hike! And it's not just that we're all completely squeaky clean, Only sometimes the normal world thinks it has a right to be mean. And normal? Who'd wanna be? It's not for us! You can heckle us all you like from the Boring Bus! And if you need to put a weirdo down to feel bigger, then you're a sad sort of person and you're sicker than Doug Winger.

Some furries are odd, some furries are mean, Some furries draw pictures which are rather obscene. Some furries believe things which are strange to me! But remember what I said about furry diversity?

'Cause it's not a bad thing for the world to know us, But just the kooky stuff is not a fair part to show of us. We don't mind curiosity, 'cause that's what we're about, But any future journalists had better watch out!

One extra singe doesn't do a lot of damage; We furries have dealt with quite enough spammage. With all that said, the tide is turning. The wounds are healing and we're quickly learning that:

Best paw forward is the way to go! Put your best paw forward and away you go! Put your best paw forward and away you go! That is if you've even got a paw. Um. I don't know.

I'd rather be furry and use my imagination And die a happy death instead of bitter stagnation. I'd rather express than repress and then get depressed And then get stressed about my situation.

Well I've laid it on you birdy style, the good and the bad, The fun and the games and the problems we've had.

So sayonara people, now you know what we're about. This is Kurrel on the microphone, over and out!

Yikes @_@

I'm not cut out for college X_x
I'm failing both of my physics classes (Do what... with the... and the... huh?!? *confused*) and my engineering class (Genuinely my fault for not getting work done and turned in >_< *sigh*) and have a D in calc (More not getting stuff done, I keep forgetting about that online thing, and I'm constantly lost)

I'm not ready t_t

Lol XD

I'm having way too much fun lately. Not really, but I've gotten better about conveniently ignoring the sucky parts when I get past them >_> doo de doo :3 anyhow! Didn't get any time on yesterday, but lately I've been having an awesome time on WoW thanks to my guild. Everything about it from my friends, to the attitude, to the rampant discussions of random e-culture (enough to write a small novel, a title of which might be "From 4Chan to FChan, a thousand and one reasons why the internet destroys your mind, and you LIKE it" :P) to other random acts of pastry theft, all equals a big bowlful of awesomesauce.

Pie Thieves 4evr >X3!!!

Heh. English Numa numa -> Noma Numa. Weird.
But I think I like it more. Its not a direct translation, but I still like it alot. Same awesome rhythm, and it doesn't have that "blurry" voice to start with.

I wonder if anyone reading this knows any german? They should enjoy this video. Even if you don't, you might enjoy it. I don't know a bit of german, yet I thought this was awesome!

Tee hee :3

Updatifications!!!

Life is... well, its still pretty average x3 I'm a master at finding three things.
1. Drama
2. Balance
3. Mediocrity :3

School:
The bad news; I'm doing god-awful in both my physics classes, because I'm a bad, lazy foxy :o but the good news is I'm getting my shaggy-rear in gear and even got a 10/10 on the physics web quiz last night :DDD And somehow managed to get almost all of my homework mostly done X3 (as in, 5 problems done, 2 problems solved just barely because I'm shoopid, and the last problem not even attempted because it makes my grey-matter throb @_@)

Online:
I'm still addicted to WoW :o but I'm starting to suck less and less XD my lil' gnome rogue Malcovitch (malcovitch malcovitch malcovitch >_>) finally past the 3/4 mark (level 46, woo!) and had his first Zul Farrak run :3 I didn't know about the giant stairway, or the massive sea of enemies that spawns at the bottom of them, or the fact that they charge you in little groups for about 10 minutes (the sea respawns, twice O_o) or that two or three of the guys you were saving then betray you unexpectedly.
But! my {phantom blade] and much-beloved [Mug-O-Hurt] did well >:3 bwahaha. And now, I have my carrot-on-a-stick. I'm still not sure why it makes my mechanostrider run faster though O_o yay gnomish techknowledgy XD Its all thanks to my AWSM guild. Power to <The Pie Thieves> :DDD

Art!!! (What most of you actually care about :P)
I've been a busy little vulpine :3 Probably why I've been doing so crummily in Physics 141 :P I've somehow hit a point where I can't draw anything thats not cartoonish, so my Touch of Fire will probably forever be my most stunning work. Its driving me nuts thinking that I can't upload my pics >_< I'd try hijacking the family computer for uploads, but its having major issues :( It can't access the internet even though we know the cable and stuff works (router to my laptop, laptop runs fine, direct connect it to the compy, no soup for you >_<) and then it couldn't use my super-awesome printer; not fun news for my bro who had to print out a paper.
Some of the stuff I've drawn;
-Wes doing his superman-like flying thing :3 spiral into the air with light-blurrs of energy trailing in a double-helix under him, surrounded by some sort of fiery-glowing energy (I don't have color to use :o sorry.)
-A surprisingly creepy Warcraft-style Ghoul :3 started out with giant fangly things and drew a skeleton around them.
-My overly-used holding-onto-glowing-object shadow-happy rays-of-light pose ;3 just like the first one I ever did of my skunk character Zanno, or touch of fire, or a thousand and one other practice drawings :o
-I tried drawing Wes in a foxtaur form. I can't do taurs :3 came out very cartoonish.
-A random vixen or two. Since all my cartoonish art looks alike, she basically looks like a female Wes X_x oy.
-Whatever else pops into my head :3 I feel like inventing new characters today, or doing some drawings inspired by [Hummingbird]'s latest new art awesomeness ^_^

Watch it, behold the incredible beauty of the deadmines secret, and lament at the fact that blizzard would ban me if I tried to go there myself :(

Oh! And the new season of South Park starts tonight, the first episode being based on World of Warcraft :D

Warning! Warning! Opinions of a somewhat political nature!


Alright, I loathe talking or arguing about the way things go and all, but for the love of christ, I am SO SICK of these retarded people (a good share of them liberals) who keep trying to treat people like the ones held at Git'mo like they were god damn innocents, and people who keep telling us that the war is pointless.

Let me a'splain something to you.
If we didn't fight these people, we would still be dying. They will NOT stop unless someone forces them to. They can NOT be appeased, they can NOT be bargained with. Not all Islamis are extremists, thats WHY they're called extremists. BUT STOP TRYING TO DENY THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE DOING THINGS THAT NEED TO BE STOPPED, FOUGHT AGAINST AND ELIMINATED!

/growl
/sigh
/rant off.

I have to remember to bring some blank paper tommorow >_< I want to draw right now, but hate drawing on lined paper. Its like, even if I do a great job, its still on lined paper X_x
Going through all my old addictive music doesn't help either :3 I've decided that I enjoy thinking up story ideas more than actually writing the stories >_> So if you want me to toss you a script idea, just ask :P Just, y'know, I suck at writing anything other than fantasy :o

XD I hate ETs refresh thing. I wrote out a long entry but the page refreshed so I lost all of it.
To sum up what I said, college is busy and hectic, I've been out of practice reading and writing so long that I can't draw for crap anymore and I can't work on my story, and I miss you people, and hope that once I get free time in my life again I can hang out with you, if any of you are still here by then

Sorry if I'm not on much lately/anymore. College is time consuming, and I'm still addicted to WoW. I don't wanna hang around on here too much while I'm on campus (I commute) since it takes up bandwith from people who need it, and I try to use it mostly for school related stuff.

I have an urge to work on my writing, but can't seem to get myself to start. Once I do, expect some stuff from me.

Finally saw PotC 2.

Good movie :3 I'm definitly buying it when it comes out.
I can see why some people don't like it; its not got the same feel as the first, though theres a ton of self-referencing the first movie. Much more action, thats a good thing, some surprises, especially towards the end, and most definitly a sequel.

I also sat through the insanely long credits to catch the extra scene; message me if you wanna know what it is and have seen the movie.
