So, I think the order of my entry to furry was as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Find a furcode in someone's forum sig.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Oh my aching bones.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Shut up, you're not that old, the internet just moves *really* fast. Besides, you don't have bones.
|
||
|
|
2. Find a furcode decoder.
|
||
|
|
3. Find Captain Packrat's page on furry.
|
||
|
|
4. Find Yerf!.
|
||
|
|
5. Make a dragon character.
|
||
|
|
6. This lasts three days. No one pays attention to me. Make a fox character.
|
||
|
|
7. Meet some furries on GovTeen (née Puberty101).
|
||
|
|
8. Start talking with furries on AIM.
|
||
|
|
9. Join FluffMUCK.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Ah yes, Fluff. May she rest in eternal solitude.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
She's not totally gone. I don't think. I actually haven't checked in a while.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> I'm starting to doubt your commitment to nostalgia, here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What would I gain from such?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> You could go look in the park. You could go ride around in the Universe-in-a-Box. You could `laston` some folks, maybe.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Weirdly enough, of the people I would `laston`, I was finally reintroduced to a few not too long ago by, of all people, Zorin, head wiz of Fluff. Rela and GC. I was glad to see them doing well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> You were glad to see they were alive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I was glad to see they were alive, yes. That was around the time I had found the obituary for Danny.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> You could `laston` Marek.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm not sure I could take that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Is that why you don't want to connect?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's one reason. Nostalgia is only so much fun. It's fun up until a certain extent, and then it becomes painful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> It's fun up until you're confronted with mortality and uncertainty. Danny died, and you don't know if Marek's alive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's no longer fun, but it's no less important.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Let's talk about Margaras.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not yet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Danny's passing was an abstract thing. Maragaras' was much more immediate. Much more concrete and real.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Take your time.
