The Fur's About To Fly!

lupestripeWell what can I say? Sorry for the lack of updates - just been busy and lazy. So what's happened? One word - FUR!
Courage is a strange thing really - something I don't really have in abundance. But back in December I found some and did something I should have done a long time ago. I officially became a fur.
It's always been in me - what my ex called 'the wolf thing'. And I have known about fur for about three years but I never had the courage to join. Granted it was partly due to the fact that I didn't think fur existed outside London but it was also because of a lack of confidence. Anywho, when I found Northern Furs on 12 December I just felt the time was right. A week later, on 19 December, I joined the Furnet IRC. It made my Christmas and at the moment it is also making my New Year. It's been a release - a release on so many levels it's untrue. Hopefully it will continue - can't wait til my first Furmeet - it promises to be an interesting day.
In other news tomorrow night we are having an Eeyore Party at Sumo! Can't wait - it's the first time I'll have been to the Corner House and indeed the first time I went clubbing since the moshing wolf fursuit extravaganza that was Hallowe'en. The Eeyore Party was an idea mooted for my birthday but was postponed due to flu - hopefully tomorrow we can make up for that. Plushes, make-up, heavy metal and hard-core drinking. Fantastic!

It was great chatting last night, I'd like to get to know you more too - your LJ looks very interesting. Best way to do it is MSN if you have it (see the address in my profile) or on FurNet of course - I just keep coming back! Hehe.

I am up for meeting with as many furs as possible. My first furmeet will almost certainly be York but will try and travel to meet as many in the interim as possible. Am looking forward to it!

Got Tungro here for the weekend so may not be online much to chat, but hopefully will catch up shortly!
Loads a love
