<p>So, I think the order of my entry to furry was as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Find a furcode in someone&rsquo;s forum sig.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Oh my aching bones.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Shut up, you&rsquo;re not that old, the internet just moves <em>really</em> fast. Besides, you don&rsquo;t have bones.
2. Find a furcode decoder.
3. Find Captain Packrat&rsquo;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.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
<p>Ah yes, Fluff. May she rest in eternal solitude.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>She&rsquo;s not totally gone. I don&rsquo;t think. I actually haven&rsquo;t checked in a while.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I&rsquo;m starting to doubt your commitment to nostalgia, here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>What would I gain from such?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You could go look in the park. You could go ride around in the Universe-in-a-Box. You could <code>laston</code> some folks, maybe.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Weirdly enough, of the people I would <code>laston</code>, 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.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You were glad to see they were alive.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I was glad to see they were alive, yes. That was around the time I had found the obituary for Danny.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You could <code>laston</code> Marek.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I&rsquo;m not sure I could take that.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Is that why you don&rsquo;t want to connect?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It&rsquo;s one reason. Nostalgia is only so much fun. It&rsquo;s fun up until a certain extent, and then it becomes painful.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It&rsquo;s fun up until you&rsquo;re confronted with mortality and uncertainty. Danny died, and you don&rsquo;t know if Marek&rsquo;s alive.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s no longer fun, but it&rsquo;s no less important.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Let&rsquo;s talk about Margaras.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Not yet.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Danny&rsquo;s passing was an abstract thing. Maragaras&rsquo; was much more immediate. Much more concrete and real.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Please.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Take your time.</p>
