Having another of those days today where I'm overflowing with enthusiasm and social intuitive - talking to near strangers trying to create new connections. Those days are always accompanied by a fear of pushing/scaring people away, by being 'too much'. Hmm. Being socially outgoing and taking first steps to contact people sure is a difficult balance. First impressions are hard.
My dog always sits in a window and watches me move about outside. It's so cute.
おいらが出かけるたびにキリン(我が犬)アパートの窓の後からずっとジロジロ見守る♥
Also have a picture of my dog.
I should post more on mastodon. In fact I soon want to post all my art with their respective artists here :3
Otherwise I'm a bit unsure how much personal life and personal thought I'm willing to share here. Navigating privacy and potential audiences is kinda tricky.
Getting up at 6:10, out into -10C walking the dog, then rushing to work. Drowsy brewing my first tea at 7:40... Mornings are tough, man!
Good morning, floofers.

somewhat being ashamed of it I suppose, and I've never made an effort to connect much to local LGBT's - trying to fit in with colleagues at work and broader society at large and as an extension didn't dare to engage with furries. That was probably a huge error on my side, at least I feel now that I'm surrounded by people who just get me, and that's wonderful. On the other side now I have more 'secrets' to balance (?!), more context to navigate in different social settings, ...
find friends and feel at home in this country, in which I didn't grow up in a hence don't have a "natural network" from childhood. The way I was received into the fandom in Oslo, as well as online (mostly Twitter / VrChat / Neos), really means a lot to me. I've also started reaching out to people I can identify with and had many good chats with all sorts of nice folk. I've always had this attitude of being "accidentally gay", ...
Personal story time:
2022 meant a lot to me. I've discovered VR, and through that rediscovered the furry fandom - of which I knew but never before properly engaged with. I managed to gather the courage to just plunge in this time - after years of lurking, and it's definitely one of the best decisions I've taken in years. I've been living in my city for about five years soon, but in all the years before 2022 I've struggled to find people to connect with, ...
