1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me"
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

These questions come to me from <lj user="rikoshi"></lj>:

<em>1) What makes you happier than anything else?</em>
"Whatever suits you tickles me plum to death." -W. Jensen

I'd be boring if that was the only thing, however important it is - mead, music, people, fuzzies (certain ones especially), subtlety, and plenty more mundane things.

<em>2) What was it like coming out to yourself, and how did you handle that?</em>
Oh gosh.. that happened a long time ago.  I guess I was mostly confused, and it felt nice to finally figure out what was really going on, but there wasn't a whole lot of emotion surrounding it (at least, not enough for an emotional memory).  Most of the emotion seemed to involve thinking too much about what would happen if I ever came out to anyone else - particularly parents.

<em>3. How and why did your involvement with Furry start?</em>
Hehe.. right before freshman year of highschool, I found Yerf.  Around the same time, I was a moderator on a bulletin board called GovTeen (which later lead to my mom divorcing my stepdad, which is another, slightly more hilarious story) on which a few of my friends were furries.  I guess through a combination of those, I really kinda got started - then introduced a few of my friends to the fandom.  As for why.. um.. I'm not sure.  I think it just sorta started as an interest that ended up clicking.

<em>4) If you could pick one thing to be remembered for, what would it be?</em>
It'd be cool to be remembered for my music, but it would mean more to me to be remembered by the individuals that I affected the most; for some, maybe that is through my music, I guess.

<em>5) Why a fox?</em>
Oh gosh.. I actually started as a dragon forever ago, but, to be honest, I changed it because no one was paying attention to me on GovTeen.  I changed it to a fox because I'd always thought they were pretty neat, not because I had any particular connection to them.  A few weeks ago, I was at a cafe with Andy and a few (furry) friends of mine trying to figure out an animal for Andy.  He didn't understand, so when we all went around explaining why we picked the animals we did, pretty much everyone at the table - including me - decided that I was really an otter.  However, I don't think my foxly status will change, simply because I've settled into it and I am, needless to say, quite happy with that ^.^
