First off... I have a new job! Starting either Friday or Monday, depending on when the company gets my drug screen results back. Seems silly... I just had to do one of those back in February... but I guess companies are really and honestly concerned about such things. Of course, I have never done any drugs, other than smoking a little bit of pot one time with my sister, when my dad died... it seemed to help me to calm down at the time. But I would NEVER do that again. Anyway, I'll be doing product inspection at a place that manufactures plastic containers for food and medicine packaging. Sounds kind of boring... but it's a job. I also had an interview at Home Depot for a cashier's position yesterday... hoping that works out, as I'd rather work in a place like that. The good thing about this new job is that it's first shift, M-F... the bad thing it only pays $6.50/hr.
Been chatting on IRC a bit more than usual for me lately. I still feel a little out of place though... like I not a part of the group... but it's fun for me still. I really wish I knew some of the east coast furs better. I only get to see them usually at cons. Maybe that's one reason I'm really looking forward to AC this year. I love furry cons! I know some people say AC is too big... but to me, it's still fun. Of course, MFM is my home con, the one where I really learned just how close my furry family can be to me. MFF was great too, and I'm looking forward to that again of course. Heck, where else can I get to hang out with my friends and not be more than 2 hours from home?
Seems like Spring is flying by for me. I've been back in Illinois since Feb 8th... where does the time go? In less than a month it will be Pride Fest in St. Louis... I'm planning on being there if at all possible. Looking forward to the Pride Parade too. A bunch of us will be in the parade in fursuit... wonder how the crowd will react to my BSV fursuit? Last year, I only had the plain Dark Realms fox fursuit....
I've been chatting with a few friends via email lately too, in the last week or so. Finding myself learning more about a special friend too. This is very good for the both of us I feel. Nothing serious yet... but who knows where this may lead in the future. A vixen can dream, can't she?
Ok, I'm rambling now.... living here in central Illinois is nice in some ways, but still, it can be very lonely too. I went to Chicago last night with my friend Chris from where I used to work. He's not a fur... but he's interested in furry. He might even come to MFM this year now that I've been telling him all about furry and showing him certain "safe" web pages and such. It's fun teaching him about what most of us enjoy... without squicking him right off the batt too. So we may be seeing the birth of a new fur here.
